+ 0.6.4 (2021-11-04) "fuzzy calibration"
+ --------------------------------------
+
+ This point release contains a fair number of fixes but no new features.
+ This marks the end of the 0.6 development, although paraslash-0.6 will
+ still be supported for some time and subsequent maintenance releases
+ may follow.
+
+ - The udp sender no longer crashes when empty chunks are encountered.
+ - Fix a double-free bug in the exit path of the server.
+ - The "jmp" command now errors out when given a negative percentage.
+ - A fix for a bug in para_afh which triggered on the attempt to modify
+ the tags of an invalid mp4 file.
+ - A memory leak in para_afh has been fixed.
+ - The udp sender no longer sends multiple EOF packets.
+ - Some gcc warnings have been silenced.
+ - Minor log level adjustments and documentation improvements.

+ 0.5.9 (2021-11-04) "reversed dimension"
+ ---------------------------------------
+
+ This release contains a few important fixes which have accumulated in
+ the maint branch. The paraslash-0.5.x series has now reached its end
+ of life and will no longer be supported. All users should upgrade to
+ a more recent version at this point.
+
+ - Fix an issue with the bash completion script.
+ - Initialize the random seed also when using libgrypt.
+ - Fix some compiler warnings in the resample filter
+ - Don't return spurious errors from the ff server command.

+ 0.6.3 (2021-02-18) "generalized activity"
+ -----------------------------------------
+
+ It has been a while since the last release, but paraslash-0.6.3
+ finally has arrived. It contains a fair number of improvements,
+ features and fixes all over the place.
+
+ - The ff command now accepts a negative argument to instruct the
+ virtual streaming system to jump backwards in the current audio
+ stream. The old syntax (e.g., "ff 30-") is still supported but it
+ is deprecated and no longer documented. The compatibility code is
+ sheduled for removal after 0.7.0.
+ - para_afh: New option: --preserve to reset the modification time to
+ the value of the original file after meta data modification.
+ - Overhaul of the compress filter code. The refined algorithm should
+ reduce clipping. The meaning of --aggressiveness has changed, see the
+ updated and extended documentation of the compress filter for details.
+ - Cleanup of the audio format handler code.
+ - We now build the tree using the .ONESHELL feature of GNU make,
+ which results in a significant speedup.
+ - Two robustness fixes for FreeBSD.
+ - para_client now supports RFC4716 private keys as generated with
+ ssh-keygen -m RFC4716. In fact, this key format has been made the
+ default, and the former PEM keys will be depreciated at some point.
+ - The ogg audio format handlers learned to detect holes and now report
+ the correct duration also if ogg pages are missing in the file. This
+ affects ogg/vorbis ogg/speex and ogg/opus.
+ - Robustness improvements for para_mixer.
+ - A fix for an old bug that could cause the server to crash or report
+ garbage in its status output.
+ - New para_play option: --end-of-playlist
+ - Streaming m4a files over udp has been improved.

+ 0.6.2 (2018-06-30) "elastic diversity"
+ --------------------------------------
+
+ The main new feature of this release is the --listen-address option
+ for para_server and para_audiod. But there are also a large number of
+ small improvements and bug fixes all over the place. The user-visible
+ changes include
+
+ - para_gui no longer waits up to one second to update the screen when
+ the geometry of the terminal changes.
+ - Minor documentation improvements.
+ - Improvements to the crypto subsystem.
+ - The server subcommand "task" has been deprecated. It still works,
+ but prints nothing. It will be removed in the next major release.
+ - Server log output is now serialized, avoiding issues with partial
+ lines.
+ - It is now possible to switch to a different afs database by changing
+ the server configuration and sending SIGHUP to the server process.
+ - New server options: --listen--address, --http-listen-address and
+ --dccp-listen-address. These options restrict the set of listening
+ addresses of the TCP and DCCP sockets of the server process.
+ - The help commands of server, audiod, play now support --long. By default,
+ the short help is shown.
+ - The code which merges the command line options with the config file
+ options has been consolidated.
+ - If the current audio file is renamed, the status items are now updated
+ accordingly.
+ - After the server process received SIGHUP, changes to the current audio
+ file did not trigger an update of the status items. This has been fixed.

+ 0.6.1 (2017-09-23) "segmented iteration"
+ ----------------------------------------
+
+ The highlight of this release is the version 2 mood parser. But there
+ is a lot more than that, as summarized in the list below. And of
+ course we have many small usability improvements and bug fixes not
+ mentioned here.
+
+ - A more intuitive syntax for moods ("version 2 moods"). The
+ traditional version 1 moods are still supported but are deprecated
+ now. Removal of the version 1 mood parser is scheduled for the next
+ major release.
+ - Flex and bison are now required to build para_server.
+ - New sort order for the ls command: -s=h sorts the ls output by hash
+ value of the audio file.
+ - autogen.sh now runs the test suite after a successful build.
+ - The contents of overview.pdf have been integrated into the user
+ manual.
+ - Fixed sized audio format headers for ogg/opus streams.
+ - The doxygen source browser has been disabled temporarily. The
+ API reference is still online, though.
+ - Overhaul of the source code documentation.
+ - The deprecated --full-path option of the ls command has been
+ removed. It was a no-op since 0.6.0.
+ - The wma decoder has been cleaned up and its bitstream API made
+ more robust.
+ - The image/lyrics ID status items of the current audio file are now
+ updated on changes. This affects para_gui, which used to report the
+ old value until EOF.
