+0.4.9 (to be announced) "hybrid causality"
+------------------------------------------
+
+	- Fix for an endless loop in the mp3 decoder for certain
+	  (corrupt) mp3 files.
+	- autogen.sh now detects a distcc setup and adjusts the
+	  parameter for the -j option of make accordingly.
+	- Shared memory areas are no longer restricted to 64K. We now
+	  detect the maximal size of a shared memory area at runtime.

+0.4.8 (2011-08-19) "nested assignment"
+--------------------------------------
+
+Gcrypt support, the overhauled osx writer and regex format specifiers
+are the highlights of this release.
+
+	- support for libgcrypt as a drop-in replacement for openssl.
+	  Run configure --enable-cryptolib=gcrypt to link against
+	  libgcrypt. The two crypto implementations are compatible to
+	  each other, i.e. a para_client executable linked against
+	  gcrypt can connect to para_server linked against libssl
+	  and vice versa.
+	- Rewrite of the osx writer (output plugin for Mac OS).
+	- audiod: The format specifier for receivers, filters and
+	  writers is now treated as a regular expression. This allows
+	  to replace 5 lines in the config file (one for each audio
+	  format) by one single line. See the manual for details.
+	- The *.cmdline.[ch] files are no longer contained in the released
+	  tarballs. This reduces the size of the tarballs but requires
+	  gengetopt to build the tarball.
+	- Compiles cleanly also with llvm/clang.
+	- Corrupt mp3 files are handled more gracefully.
+	- The alsa writer uses poll fds instead of computing timeouts.
+	- Cleanup of the generic writer API.
+	- sched: Optimized zero timeouts.
+	- vss timeout cleanups.
+	- oggdec fixes and improvements.
