+	ensure that -i3 pads to full block size
+	otherwise we lose the nominal burst error correction capability. if a feature to remove the padding existed, it'd probably be based on shortenings to RS codes (i.e. we know exactly which values must be zero judging just from the block length, so they don't count towards the errors, allowing us to get better parity to data ratio)

 This file contains release notes for major and minor releases of xpar.
 For a complete list of source-level changes, consult the ChangeLog file.
 
+===============================================================================
+v0.5 (17-10-2024)
+- OpenMP support for sharded mode (which unfortunately seems bottlenecked by
+  I/O). 
+- Switch to yarg for command-line parsing, remove dependency on Rich Felker's
+  `getopt_long`.
+- Hopefully the last v0.x release. Hopefully, it will receive some feedback
+  which will help to introduce future improvements and release v1.0. The file
+  format will not change from now on, unless there is a bug or another major
+  misfeature that needs to be fixed.
+
 ===============================================================================
 v0.4 (16-10-2024)
 - x86_64 static Linux binaries are no longer provided.
