-0.5.3 (to be released) "symbolic synchronization"
--------------------------------------------------
+-----------------------------------------
+current master branch "magnetic momentum"
+-----------------------------------------
+	- 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.
+
+
+Download: ./releases/paraslash-git.tar.bz2 (tarball)

+	  none of the given patterns matched any audio file.
