+0.5.4 (to be announced) "exponential alignment"
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+	- Minor cleanups to daemon.c.
+	- New URLs for home page and git services.
+	- Improved error diagnostics for the mvblob commands.
+	- New sender subcommand: status.
+	- Improved help text for server and afs commands.

+0.5.3 (2014-08-01) "symbolic synchronization"
+---------------------------------------------
+
+Not many new features, but lots of fixes and usability improvements.
+
+	- para_gui has been converted to use the paraslash scheduler.
+	- Various alsa-related fixes, mostly for the raspberry pi.
+	- Many scheduler improvements and cleanups.
+	- The test suite has been extended to include sanity checks
+	  for the generated man pages.
+	- ao_writer fixes. This writer was in a quite bad shape. Many
+	  serious bugs have been fixed.
+	- new audiod command: version.
+	- Minor improvements to the bitstream API.
+	- The cpsi command now prints a meaningful error message if
+	  none of the given patterns matched any audio file.

+0.5.2 (2014-04-11) "orthogonal interior"
+----------------------------------------
+
+The new sync filter, the AES_CTR128 stream cipher and the overhauled
+network code are the highlights of this release. It also includes a
+fair number of smaller fixes and improvements not mentioned here.
+
+	- 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-channel
+	  initial volumes, better error logging.
+	- The man pages of para_audiod, para_filter, para_recv, and
+	  para_write contain the relevant options for receivers, filters,
+	  writers. This broke in 0.5.0.
+	- ogg/vorbis latency improvements.
+	- Improved user manual.
+	- Minor fixes to avoid clang warnings.

+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.
