 Version CVS HEAD (?)
 
+  * general changes:
+    - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
+      load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
+      (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
+    - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
+      plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
+
+  * audio driver:
+    - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
+      max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
+
+Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
+
+  * packaging changes:
+    - added autoconf checks for pthread library
+    - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
+      glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
+    - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
+
+  * general changes:
+    - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
+      editor closed
+    - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
+      out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
+      decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
+      order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
+    - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
+      GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
+      the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
+      bugs.
+    - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
+      24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
+      endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
+      unaligned 32bit read and shift
+    - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
+      output via ASIO)
+    - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
+    - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
+      (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
+      SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
+
+  * AUDIO driver:
+    - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
+
+  * MIDI driver:
+    - added MME Windows MIDI driver
+
+  * LSCP server:
+    - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
+      forward slash path separators instead of backslash
+      (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
+    - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
+      apostrophes as well
+    - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
+      "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
+      "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
+      about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
+      running on
