2011-04-15  Daniel Michalik <cplay-dev@blackamp.de>

	Five years after the last pre-release by Ulf Betlehem some development
	took place, individually distributed amongst various persons. This
	version of cplay collects the found fixes and improvements and
	provides:
	- proper MPlayer support,
	- volume control using ALSA and OSS,
	- fixes of all known critical bugs, more bug fixes and clean up work.
	Enjoy your updated cplay experience!

	For you information and entertainment the following list contains the
	"recent" development history, trying to give proper credits to the
	developers involved. I tried to be as complete and accurate as possible,
	please let me know if there is someone I forgot or if there is
	something that I put down incorrectly.

	- Peter Samuelson fixed the insecure /tmp handling (DB#255768,
	  DB#324913) together with Martin Michlmayr.
	- Tom Adams collected the complete version history of cplay and
	  published it on github. Furthermore he provided basic MPlayer
	  support, the cnq script and ALSA mixer control.
	- Tomi Pieviläinen fixed the shell crashing bug (DB#375060), added
	  logging and added mutagen support for reading meta data information
	  from played files (DB#413738). Various other improvements include the
	  removal of the kludge variable and clean up work/commenting.
	- Adrian C. fixed various small bugs and made cplay ready for ncurses 5.8.
	- Daniel Michalik replaced the mplayer FIFO by internal pipes to
	  prevent permission and IO blocking problems, added speed control and
	  equalizer support when using MPlayer and fixed some bugs (DB#387871,
	  DB#303282, sanity check of counter values).
