 ----------------------------------------------
-0.3.4 (to be announced) "elliptic inheritance"
+0.4.1 (to be announced) "concurrent eternalty"
 ----------------------------------------------
+
+----------------------------------------------
+0.4.0 (2009-11-10) "simultaneous independence"
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Two significant changes which require the new version number: The
+improved authentication dialog and the fact that the database code
+has been moved to a library, libosl. To use the new version, you have
+to generate new RSA keys, see INSTALL for details. A shell script is
+provided for conversion of the 0.3 database to the new 0.4 format.
+
+	- stronger crypto for client authentication
+	- the database code has been moved to a library
+	- improved status item handling
+	- cleanup of the build system
+	- The "-V" option now also prints the git version
+	- the new parser-friendly listing mode for the ls and stat commands
+	- mandatory rc4 encryption
+	- major audio format handler cleanups
+	- (id3,...) tags are no longer stored as a combined string in the database
+	- new mood methods: artist_matches, title_matches, comment_matches,
+	  album_matches, year_maches, year.
+
+--------------------------------------------
+0.3.5 (2009-09-21) "symplectic separability"
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Full client support for *BSD Unixes, complete re-write of the ogg
+vorbis audio format handler, various improvements all over the place
+and the usual mix of bugfixes. This release marks the end of the 0.3
+series if no serious problems show up.
+
+	- the new oss writer (supported on *BSD and Linux)
+	- rewrite of the ogg vorbis audio format handler. It's
+	  recommended to replace the chunk tables of existing ogg
+	  vorbis files in the afs database by re-adding these files
+	  with "add -f".
+	- support for netmask subsets (Gerrit Renker)
+	- the new prebuffer filter
+	- improved signal handling
+	- variable fec output buffer size
+	- improved FEC timing fixes audible buffer underruns in UDP mode
+	- --log_color actually works
+	- new ls option: -d (print dates as seconds after the epoch)
+	- update to gengetopt 2.22.2
+	- support for RSA keys of size > 512 bits
+	- new option "mixer_channel" for para_fade
+
+-----------------------------------------
+0.3.4 (2009-05-07) "elliptic inheritance"
+-----------------------------------------
+
+The new udp sender, forward error correction, colored logs and various
+other improvements. As the udp sender does not depend on any special
+libraries, it is built unconditionally.
+
+	- The udp sender replaces the ortp sender. The new code uses forward
+	  error correction to protect against packet losses. Many thanks to
+	  Gerrit Renker for providing ipv6 support.
+	- The default port for udp streaming now defaults to 8000, like
+	  for the http and the dccp senders/receivers.
+	- Loglevels are now specified as symbolic names, e.g.
+	  "--loglevel info".
+	- improved ipv4 and ipv6 URI parser (Gerrit Renker).
+	- para_server/para_audiod: Color support for log messages.
 	- new options for mp3dec: --ignore-crc, --bufsize
+	- new audiod option: --config-file.
+	- gengetopt cleanups.
 	- Improved help/man pages: The documentation of para_audiod,
 	  para_recv, para_filter and para_write now also contains
-	  all options of the available receivers/filters/writers.
-	- new audiod option: --config-file.
+	  all options of the available receivers/filters/writers. The
+	  man page of para_fade contains a description of the different
+	  modes of operation.
+	- More source code documentation.
+	- vss timing fixes.
