 +---------------------------------------------
 +0.5.2 (to be announced) "orthogonal interior"
 +---------------------------------------------
 +
++The new sync filter, the AES_CTR128 stream cipher and the overhauled
++network code are the highlights of this release.
++
 +	- 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.
 +	- Improved user manual.
 +	- Minor fixes to avoid clang warnings.
