+0.2.17 (to be announced) "isotropic threshold"
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Only bugfixes and cleanups in this version which marks the end of
+the 0.2.x series if no serious bugs show up after the release.
+
+	- be more carful wrt. signed vs. unsigned argument passing.
+	- cleanup error.h and fix some references to invalid error
+	  codes.
+	- update to gengetopt-2.20.
+	- autoconf: extend checks for headers, library functions and
+	  compiler characteristics.

+0.2.16 (2007-04-05) "neural discharge"
+--------------------------------------
+
+The main change in this release is the major audio format handler
+cleanup which removes some similar/duplicate code and makes it easier
+to implement plugins for other audio formats. Of course, the usual mix
+of other improvements/changes/bugfixes also made it into the release.
 
+	- simplified audio format handlers (most of the handling functions
+	  were moved one layer up to the virtual streaming system).
+	- para_server uses mmap to read audio files
+	- repositioning of mp3 streams is much faster, in particular for
+	  jumping near the end of large mp3 files.
 	- permission flags DB_READ,DB_WRITE have been renamed to AFS_READ
 	  and AFS_WRITE.
 	- fix a bug in para_filter that caused decoding of aac files
 	  to start only after a few seconds.
 	- fix osx_writer hangs
+	- simplified dccp code (thanks to Gerrit Renker)
+	- the compress filter works also on big endian systems (ppc)
