-** General
+Users are now stored in the database rather than a configuration file.

 
 

-There is a new client, 'Disobedience', that depends on the GTK+ library.
-Feedback on the interface would be very welcome.
+The server now has a built-in list of stopwords and players, so only
+additions to these need be mentioned in the configuration file.
+
+The default inter-track gap is now 0s.
+
+How sound is played is now controlled via the new 'api' configuration
+command.  This also controls how the volume is set, which now works with
+ALSA as well as OSS.
+
+** Web Interface
+
+The web interface now uses cookies to remember user identity, and allows
+online registration of new users.  Also it is no longer necessary to
+manually specify the URL of the web interface (but you can override it
+if you don't like the value it figures out).
+
+It is possibe to allow users to register via the web interface.
+
+The web interface's browser support has been improved.  It has been
+tested with Firefox 2, Safari 3, Konqueror 3, Internet Explorer 7 and
