+Support for another audio format and many small improvements/fixes
+all over the place.
+
+	- Support for flac, the free lossless audio codec.
+	- 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.
+	- cleanup of the internal uptime API.
+	- para_server prefaults the mmapped audio file to avoid
+	  delays on slow media.
+	- A new test for the test-suite that exercises the
+	  communication between para_server and para_audiod.
+	- The alsa writer eats up less CPU cycles when configured to
+	  use the DMIX plugin.
+	- Simplified and unified receiver code.
+	- Makefile cleanups.
+	- Commands which print a list of matching audio files now
+	  emit a meaningful error message if no audio file matched the
+	  given pattern(s).

 	  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
