-0.5.1 (to be announced) "temporary implication"
-----------------------------------------------
+---------------------------------------------
+0.5.2 (to be announced) "orthogonal interior"
+---------------------------------------------
+
+The new sync filter, the AES_CTR128 stream cipher and the overhauled
+network code are the highlights of this release.
+
+	- The new sync filter synchronizes playback between multiple
+	  clients.
+	- Connections between para_server and para_client are now
+	  encrypted by means of AES rather than RC4 if both sides
+	  support it. RC4 is still available as a fallback. This
+	  feature is fully transparent, i.e. no command line options
+	  are necessary, and a client linked against openssl can
+	  speak with a server linked against libgcrypt and vice versa.
+	- Major cleanup of the networking subsystem.
+	- Improvements to para_fade: the new set mode, multi-channal
+	  initial volumes, better error logging.
+	- Improved user manual.
+	- Minor fixes to avoid clang warnings.

+0.5.1 (2013-12-20) "temporary implication"
+------------------------------------------
 
-	- audiod improvements and fixes.
-	- buffer tree robustness improvements.
-	- cleanup of the mood subsystem.
+Lots of fixes and improvements all over the place, and a major overhaul
+of the build system.
+
+	- Audiod improvements and fixes.
+	- Buffer tree robustness improvements.
+	- Cleanup of the mood subsystem.
+	- Fixes and cleanups for the flac decoder.
+	- Latency improvements for the ogg/opus decoder.
+	- Crypto support is now optional. On systems without
+	  openssl/gcrypt, the build succeeds but para_server,
+	  para_audiod, para_client won't be built.
+	- The build system now works for cross-compile setups.
+	- The dependency tree has been flattened, which speeds up
+	  builds and avoids to recreate the man pages on every change.
+	- The error code helper has been rewritten from perl to C,
+	  which further improves build time.
+	- Many small bugs in the build system have been identified
+	  and fixed.
