[phone]: Release 0.26
+--------------------------------------------
+
+We are pleased to present stable release 0.26 of LibLo, the
+lightweight, easy to use implementation of the Open Sound Control
+protocol.
+
+Open Sound Control (OSC) is a protocol for communication among
+computers, sound synthesizers, and other multimedia devices that is
+designed for use over modern network transports.
+
+This release marks the first release of LibLo under the LGPL license
+version 2.1 or later, allowing the use of LibLo in non-GPL
+applications as long as it is dynamically linked such that the LibLo
+portion of the application can remain freely modifiable.  We hope that
+this will allow compatibility with a wider variety of audio
+applications and encourage the use of open protocols even in
+commercial software.  (This change was motivated by receiving a number
+of requests for special permission for the use of LibLo in non-GPL
+software.)
+
+This release also introduces some new features, such as the ability to
+use custom transports, proper TCP multi-session support, access to
+bundle timestamp information, and wider C compiler compatibility.
+
+Details:
+- Change license to LGPL 2.1 or later.
+- Add return codes to all functions that may fail.
+- Fix memory leaks in lo_address_new_from_url(), dispatch_method(),
+  lo_url_get_path()
+- Move lo_arg_size(), lo_get_path(), lo_arg_host/network_endian() back
+  to lo_lowlevel.h.
+- Expose the lo_server_dispatch_data() function as public, making it
+  possible to react to messages contained in an arbitrary block of
+  memory.  (i.e., allows use with custom transport protocols)
+- Get protocol by ID number.
+- Keep TCP sessions open, and automatically track multiple open
+  sessions in a data structure.
+- Allow access to bundle timestamp information.
+- Fix bug in lo_timetag_diff().
+- Change the value of LO_TT_IMMEDIATE to correspond with the OSC
+  specification.
+- Enable SO_REUSEPORT when initializing a multicast server.
+- Update the "soname" describing API/ABI compatibility.
+- Update documentation and various bug fixes.
+- Compiles under MSVC, avoiding the use of gcc-isms when not using
+  gcc.

[phone]: Release 0.25
+--------------------------------------------
+
+We are pleased to present stable release 0.25 of LibLo, the
+lightweight, easy to use implementation of the Open Sound Control
+protocol.
+
+Open Sound Control (OSC) is a protocol for communication among
+computers, sound synthesizers, and other multimedia devices that is
+optimized for modern networking technology.
+

+broadcast messages, multicast UDP groups, message deserialisation, and
+input validation.
+
+Details:
+- Check for buffer overflows
+- Added oscsend and oscdump command-line tools
+- Added lo_message_add_varargs() for variable-argument C functions.
+- Added lo_bundle_free_messages()
+- Bug fix for pattern matching. (curly braces)
+- Broadcast support

[phone]: Release 0.24
+--------------------------------------------
+
+About:
+LibLO is a lightweight library for handling the sending and receiving of
+messages according to the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol on POSIX
+systems. 
+
+Changes:
+lo_server_get_protocol() and lo_address_get_protocol() were added. Tests
+for lo_address_get_* were added to the test tool. Several compiler
+warnings were fixed. The address for package bug reports was changed.
+lo_blob_new() was changed to take const void*. The getnameinfo() method of
+getting hostname is disabled when IPv6 is disabled. A Unix server socket is
+now unlinked when it is closed. The size of a Unix socket path is checked
+properly.
