-0.2.17 (to be announced) "isotropic threshold"
+0.3.2 (to be announced) "probabilistic parity"
 ----------------------------------------------
 
+	- new ls option: -lc (list chunk table)
+	- new executable: para_afh, the stand-alone audio file handler tool
+	- afs commands can send output more than SHMMAX (32MB on Linux). This
+	  also reduces the memory usage of commands that produce large amounts
+	  of output.

+---------------------------------------
+0.3.1 (2008-02-23) "liquid interaction"
+---------------------------------------
+
+A mix of cleanups, bug fixes, improvements, and some new features. No
+significant changes to the new database (osl) code, which is generally
+a good sign.
+
+	- Share some similar/duplicate code between the http and the
+	  dccp sender.
+	- Generic access control lists for paraslash senders.
+	- dccp sender: Access control lists, connection limiting and support
+	  for the allow,deny,on,off,help sender commands.
+	- The default dccp port changed from 5001 to 8000 (suggested by
+	  Gerrit Renker).
+	- para_server starts even if not all public keys could be loaded.
+	- Audiod performance improvements.
+	- fix a bug in the "off" command of the http sender.
+	- fix some fd and memory leaks.
+	- Update to gengetopt-2.22.

+0.3.0 (2008-01-12) "solar saturation"
+-------------------------------------
+
+paraslash.0.3.0 -- 'WWDBND --what would databases never do?'.
+
+
+Usually one might expect lots of new features AND a big increase in size
+for a major release like this.
+
+However, paraslash-0.3.0.tar.bz2 is the smallest paraslash tarball
+ever. The decrease in size is mostly due to the removal of some
+graphical tools (which were only quick hacks anyway). But also the
+fact that the mysql code is gone cuts down the size a bit.
+
+Being independent of mysql comes at a cost: The fact that paraslash
+now contains its own database (the object storage layer, osl) increases
+the (stripped) binary size of para_server by ~50K on i386.
+
+	- no more restrictions on unique basenames.
+	- independent of mysql: The new self-contained object
+	  storage layer (osl) replaces the mysql database.
+	- New executable para_fsck: Check integrity of osl tables.
+	- Lyrics support.
+	- Reliable audio file move/rename detection.
+	- More portable than ever: Tested on Linux (x86_32, x86_64, sparc64),
+	  MacOS (ppc32, x86_32), FreeBSD (x86_32), NetBSD (x86_32) and
+	  Solaris (sparc64).
+	- the new osl-based audio file selector (afs) replaces the random,
+	  the playlist and the mysql selector of paraslash-0.2.x.
+	- IPv6 support (thanks to Gerrit Renker).
+	- paraslash-0.2.x streams are now called "moods". Writing
+	  0.3.x-mood definitions should be both easier and more
+	  powerful than writing 0.2.x-stream definitions.
+	- para_krell, para_slider, para_para_sdl_gui, para_dbadm have
+	  been removed. The world is a better place without them. However,
+	  para_gui is still there.
+	- afs tracks audio file selection also in playlist mode.
+	- few easy-to-use afs commands replace the many not-so-easy-to-use
+	  mysql commands (and are available also in playlist mode).
+	- Improved error subsystem.
+	- The earth-shaking new logo.
