+- mpg123:
+-- Finally make terminal control work on Windows, for real. Building it
+   was broken in 1.30.x.
+-- The --control / -C switch will make mpg123 abort now if terminal
+   control cannot be enabled.
+-- Revert to internal network code for plain HTTP to ensure continued
+   support for original shoutcast servers that do not talk proper HTTP.
+   External backends are built at the same time and can be enforced using
+   --network <backend>.
+-- Try-witout-port for internal network code is gone. We do not need to
+   keep each ancient hack for specific hosts.
+-- Handle redirections independently of the backend behind net123. 
+-- Set proxy environment variables when --proxy is specified, for net123
+   backends to use.
+-- Continue reading for long commands in generic control, avoiding
+   unnecessary unfinished command errors.
+-- Change error message from 'unknown command' to
+   'unknown command with arguments' to avoid confusion why 'help foo'
+   is unknown, as opposed to 'help'.
+-- Reduce CPU load while just waiting for terminal input
+   (thanks to bolshoytoster on github).
+-- Condense terminal control help output and excessive vertical whitespace
+   in printouts (inspired by Volkmar Klatt).
+-- Fix interaction of pause (looping) with buffer, adding --pauseloop
+   to set the loop interval.
+-- Numeric option arguments are strictly checked now for conversion errors.
+   This also catches -devbuffer, which was interpretd as -d 0 before. This
+   also applies to out123.
+- libout123:
+-- Add same interruption handling to out123_write() as to
+   unintr_write(), adding EAGAIN to fix bug 342 (thanks to Steffen Nurpmeso)
+   for certain ALSA setups.
+-- Add --devbuffer support to win32 output and change default to 0.25 seconds.
+-- Fix race condition to deadlock on buffer_sync_param() where parameters after
+   the command byte got read as more commands. This got triggered easily by
+   using the pause key in terminal mode with buffer (which was discouraged
+   before because of buffer flushing). Generally, changing parameters with
+   active buffer process was dangerous since libout123 entered the scene.
+- some build fixes for compiler pickyness
+- Disable largefile renames also for non-sensitive POSIX systems
+  (in some distant future, the alias symbols could go away, then …
+  bug 330).
+- Fix Android NDK x86 builds with GLOBAL_VAR_PTR use in assembly (bug 345).
