Changelog und Versionsnummer

update/draw wird nun einmal pro Frame als separater Thread ausgeführt. Falls dabei delay oder eine andere wartende Methode aufgerufen wird, läuft die ZM aber weiter, bis der update/draw Thread wieder aufwacht. Dadurch werden Animationen und andere parallele Prozesse nicht auch geblockt.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
-## Added
+### Added
+- System für EventListener erstellt
+  - `AudioListener` und `AnimationListener` als erste Anwendungsfälle.
+- Pakete für Animationen und Maschinelles-Lernen hinzugefügt
+
+### Changed
+- `update(double)` und `draw()` werden nun in einem eigenen Thread aufgerufen. 
+
+## Version 0.0.22
+
+### Added
 - Interface `Audio` extrahiert, mit Basisfunktionen von `Sound` und `Music`.
 - Klasse `Mixer` steuert mehrere Audio-Objekte gleichzeitig. 
+- Klasse `tasks.RateLimitedTask`, `tasks.FramerateLimitedTask`, `tasks.FrameSynchronizedTask` und `tasks.DelayedTask`. 
 
-## Changed
+### Changed
 - Neue Package-Struktur:
   - `schule.ngb.zm.media` für Audio-Klassen (und ggf. zukünftig Video).
   - `schule.ngb.zm.tasks` für alles Rund um Parallelität.
+- `Zeichenthread` und `TaskRunner` setzen die Namen der Threads für besseres Debugging.
 
 ### Removed
 - Beispielprojekte in [eigenes Repository](https://github.com/jneug/zeichenmaschine-examples) verschoben.

+#
+#   Gradle start up script for POSIX generated by Gradle.
+#
+#   Important for running:
+#
+#   (1) You need a POSIX-compliant shell to run this script. If your /bin/sh is
+#       noncompliant, but you have some other compliant shell such as ksh or
+#       bash, then to run this script, type that shell name before the whole
+#       command line, like:
+#
+#           ksh Gradle
+#
+#       Busybox and similar reduced shells will NOT work, because this script
+#       requires all of these POSIX shell features:
+#         * functions;
+#         * expansions «$var», «${var}», «${var:-default}», «${var+SET}»,
+#           «${var#prefix}», «${var%suffix}», and «$( cmd )»;
+#         * compound commands having a testable exit status, especially «case»;
+#         * various built-in commands including «command», «set», and «ulimit».
+#
+#   Important for patching:
+#
+#   (2) This script targets any POSIX shell, so it avoids extensions provided
+#       by Bash, Ksh, etc; in particular arrays are avoided.
+#
+#       The "traditional" practice of packing multiple parameters into a
+#       space-separated string is a well documented source of bugs and security
+#       problems, so this is (mostly) avoided, by progressively accumulating
+#       options in "$@", and eventually passing that to Java.
+#
+#       Where the inherited environment variables (DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS, JAVA_OPTS,
+#       and GRADLE_OPTS) rely on word-splitting, this is performed explicitly;
+#       see the in-line comments for details.
+#
+#       There are tweaks for specific operating systems such as AIX, CygWin,
+#       Darwin, MinGW, and NonStop.
+#
+#   (3) This script is generated from the Groovy template
+#       https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/master/subprojects/plugins/src/main/resources/org/gradle/api/internal/plugins/unixStartScript.txt
+#       within the Gradle project.
