-0.5.4 (to be announced) "exponential alignment"
------------------------------------------------
+------------------------------------------
+current master branch "cascading gradient"
+------------------------------------------
+
+	- para_afh learned to modify meta tags of mp3 wma ogg spx
+	  opus flac aac files.
+	- afs commands propagate error codes to the client.
+	- The check command now also checks the attribute table for
+	  inconsistencies.
+	- New -v flag for the version command (print verbose version string)
+
+
+--------------------------------------
+0.5.5 (2015-09-20) "magnetic momentum"
+--------------------------------------
+
+Many new features and a lot of other improvements.
+
+	- On Linux systems, local sockets are now created in the
+	  abstract name space by default. This allows to get rid of
+	  the socket specials in /var/paraslash.
+	- The --user-allow option of para_audiod now accepts also
+	  usernames rather than only user IDs.
+	- New autoconf macros to avoid duplication in configure.ac.
+	- Status items (as shown by para_gui) are updated correctly
+	  when the meta information of the current audio changes.
+	- para_server and para_audiod no longer refuse to start in
+	  the background if no log file is given. Instead, all log
+	  messages go to /dev/null in this case.
+	- Web page cleanup.
+	- New syntax for the -l and -s options of the ls command.
+	  These options should now be specified as -l=v rather than
+	  -lv, for example. The old syntax still works, but support
+	  will be dropped in v0.6.0.
