+Nouveautés:
+
+- Pyo supporte maintenant les versions 2.7.x et 3.5.x de python. À première
+  vue, python 3.5.x semble plus stable et légèrement plus efficace que 
+  python 2.7.x.

+News:
+
+- Pyo now fully supports both python 2.7.x and 3.5.x. At first glance,
+  python 3.5.x seems to be more stable and a little more efficient than
+  python 2.7.x.

+
+What's new:
+
+New objects:
+
+- LogiMap, random generator based on the logistic map.
+
+
+New functionalities:
+
+- Added a method (sysexout()) to send sysex messages to the Server object.
+- Added PyoTableObject.getBuffer() method. The PyoTableObject now support 
+  the buffer protocol (see PEP 3118), which allow a table to share its data 
+  memory with any object that support the buffer protocol (ex. numpy array).
+- Added Server.setCallback() method to allow the user to define a custom
+  process function. This function will be called once per buffer size, just 
+  before the computation of the audio objects tree.
+- Added Server.getCurrentTime() and Server.getCurrentAmp() methods.
+- Improve Looper object: Added a time stream, which gives the current 
+  normalized position. Added loopnow() method, which allows to start a new
+  loop immediately with crossfade. Added appendFadeTime() and fadeInSeconds() 
+  methods to give a more flexible control of the behavior of the object.
+- Added an 'inverse' argument to PVGate object. When set to True, the 
+  damping factor is applied to bins with an amplitude above the threshold.
+- Added a `callback` argument to PyoObject.set() method. The given callback
+  will be executed at the end of the ramp.
+- Added ctrl() method (and some missing setter) to midi objects.
+- TableWrite object now takes into account the feedback argument of NewTable 
+  object and interpolates to fill in gaps if its writing pointer moves faster 
+  than the sampling rate.
+- Added a reset() method to various delay line-based objects (AllpassWG, 
+  Chorus, Freeverb, Harmonizer, STRev, WGVerb, Waveguide).
+- All objects can be used as iterator (will iterate over its internal sterams).
+- SigTo ramp time now can be controlled at audio rate.
+- Iter object now sends a trigger when it reaches the last value.
+- Iter object now accepts PyoObjects in its list of values.
+
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+- Fixed jack ports auto-connection algorithm.
+- Several minor bug fixes.
+
+
+Improvements:
+
+- Added low-latency driver WDMKS in the portaudio build routine for Windows.
+- Replaced all printf calls with PySys_WriteStdout. This allow to redirect 
+  messages from pyo to a string or a file, instead of the stdout.
+
+
+Documentation:
+
+- Added new examples, 05-envelopes/ and 06-filters/.
+- Added a new file, called "How to improve performance of your pyo programs", 
+  to the documentation.

+
+Bonjour à tous,
+
+En ce jour qui marque mes quarante ans d'existence, je me suis fait un 
+petit cadeau, une nouvelle version de pyo qui, grâce à la correction d'un
+bug majeur, est sans conteste la version la plus stable jamais produite!
+
+La version 0.8.4 de pyo est maintenant disponible en téléchargement :

+
+
+Changements:
+
+Correction de bugs:
+
+- Correction des conflits entre le GIL de python et les appels des librairies
+  portaudio, portmidi et jack.
+- Interface portaudio mise à jour pour la rendre beaucoup plus sécuritaire.
+- Correction des segfaults dans le retour de MidiListener avec python3.
+- Correction des marqueurs de SfMarkerLooper et SfMarkerShuffler. Ils n'étaient 
+  pas précis lorsque la fréquence d'échantillonnage du fichier son n'était pas 
+  la même que celle du serveur de pyo.
+
+Nouvelles fonctionnalités:
+
+- Refonte de la gestion des événements MIDI en entrée. Les événements sont 
+  maintenant répartis sur la durée du buffersize selon le timestamp de l'événement.
+- MidiDispatcher peut maintenant envoyer un message sysex avec la méthode sendx().
+- Ajout d'un argument "title" à la méthode Server.gui().
+- Ajout d'une méthode "setMode" à l'objet Selector pour basculer entre le mode 
+  de puissance égale et un fondu linéaire.
+- Ajout d'une méthode "setKeepLast" à l'objet TableRead (il conservera la 
+  dernière valeur reçue après arrêt).
+- Ajout de la méthode "setIsJackTransportSlave" à l'objet Server (elle permet de
+  démarrer/arrêter le serveur de pyo à partir du transport de jack).
+- Ajout des méthodes "setJackInputPortNames" et "setJackOutputPortNames" à l'objet 
+  serveur. Cela permet à l'utilisateur de renommer les ports d'entrée/sortie jack.
+- Ajout des attributs "id" et "object" aux événements envoyés par les objets
+  GUI de pyo (section wxgui).

+- MidiDispatcher can send sysex message with sendx() method.
+- Added a "title" argument to Server.gui() method.
+- Added a "setMode" method to Selector object to switch between
+  equal power mode and linear fade.
+- Added a "setKeepLast" method to TableRead object (will hold last value).
+- Added "setIsJackTransportSlave" method to Server object (it allows to
+  start/stop the Server from jack transport).
+- Added "setJackInputPortNames" and "setJackOutputPortNames" methods to
+  Server object. This allow the user to rename jack input/output ports.
