0.9.9
=====

A new release in the current unstable 0.9.x series for upcoming GNOME 2.91.90
release.

- Define separate log domains for core and each plugin.
- Improved log output control: We now allow you to specify log levels separately
  for each log domain.
- HTTP Connection stalling supported for ALL streams.
- Entertain priority in GStreamer-based HTTP streams.
- Rename 'upnp_enabled' in configuration to 'upnp-enabled'.
- Add section about MPRIS plugin to manpage.
- Several fixes/improvements to manpages.
- Fix some environment variables' names.
- Use both user & system configuration. So far, we have been ignoring the system
  configuration file when the user configuration file exists. This leads into
  problems whenever our configuration keys change. Now we load configuration
  from both sources and get the config value from system configuration if user
  configuration doesn't offer a value for it.
- Use 'data' directory in source tree as the system config location when
  configured to run uninstalled.
- Configure option to enable fatal valac warings. Also make this default when
  running autogen.sh.
- Make configure --help less ugly.
- Make use of modern autotools.
- Show VALA flags in configure summary.
- Remove special configure flag to enable maemo configuration as it should just
  be the default in maemo-specific branch.
- Clear the ChangeLog file content.
- UI:
  - Trim-down the UI to only provide options that end-user needs.
  - Use the correct key for 'UPnP enabled' option.
  - All widgets must be disabled when sharing is.
  - Option to use 'any' network.
- MediaExport:
  - Hide empty virtual folders.
  - Don't keep empty containers in DB.
  - More debug output.
- Tracker:
  - Only share available files: As tracker also indices removable media we need
    to filter out those files that are currently unavailable.
- Localization:
  - Add Kannada translation.
  - Update UG translation.
  - Update German translation.
  - Update UK translation.
  - Update Gujarati translations.
  - Update Ukranian translation.
  - Update Hebrew translation.
  - Update Norwegian bokmål translation.
  - Update Spanish translation.
  - Update Estonian translation.
- Many other non-functional and/or minor improvements and fixes.

0.9.6
=====

Another micro release to mainly fix a critical bug in 0.9.5. Other changes:

- Correct meaning for 'upnp_enabled' configuration option. Its now set to 'true'
  by default and if you set this to 'false' and run rygel, you can still stream
  media (currently only over HTTP) from it.

- Environment variables for boolean options now follow general unix conventions.
- Localization:
  - New partial translation for Afrikaans (af).

All contributors to this release:

Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) <zeeshanak@gnome.org>
Friedel Wolff <friedel@translate.org.za>

0.9.5
=====

Changes since 0.9.4:

- Only advertize searchable containers as such.
- Do not execute search in non-searchable containers.
- Only refuse to advertise a transcoder for an item if it's DLNA profile
  is the same as that of the item in question.
- Don't wait for new item if its already available under the container.
- Add timeouts to container update waiting code.
- Sort in ascending order by default. I had gotten the idea of ascending and
  descending reversed in my head so ended-up sorting by title in wrong order.
- Empty sort criteria in browse/search requests means no sort criteria.
- Use shorter HTTP URLs.
- Add support for search of media containers by their child count.
- Delay addition of child containers to actual (exposed) hierarchy until they
  produce some offspring. Very often it happens that we don't have enough
  metadata available to populate our hierarchies and we end-up exposing empty
  containers. Not only its contrary to user's expectations but apparently DLNA
  CTT isn't able to digest them.
- Move magic '@ADDRESS@' substitution from external plugin to core so all
  plugins can use it.
- If the root container of a MediaServer plugin is empty, deactivate the plugin
  until the situation changes.
- Tracker:
  - Add title-based hierarchies: One container for each unique starting
    character of all the titles available for the contegory in question.
  - Add "New" container: Under each category container, add a child container
    that lists all items of that category that were added (to tracker-store)
    less than 3 days ago.
  - Use property function for sorting. Tracker claims to be more efficient when
    using property functions instead of variables.
- MediaExport:
  - More reliable fallback extraction.
  - Speed-up browse and search handling.
- Localization:
  - Add Vietnamese translation.
  - Update Slovenian translation.
  - Update Norwegian bokmål translation.
  - Update Estonian translation.
  - Update Hebrew translation.
  - Update Spanish translation.
  - Update UG translation.
  - Update Czech translation.
  - Update Swedish translation.
  - Update Punjabi Translaiton.
  - Update Galician translation.
- Many other non-functional and/or minor improvements and fixes.

Dependency-related changes:

- Require & adapt to gupnp-dlna >= 0.5.
- Require gupnp-vala >= 0.7.2.

0.9.4
=====

A new release in the current unstable 0.9.x series for upcoming GNOME 2.91.3
release.

- After adding a new item in a container, wair for it to actually appear under
  the container in the hierarchy. This is needed to satisfy DLNA CTT testcase
  7.3.26.4,5.
- Wait for updated signal from the parent container after pushing content to a
  child item before returning an 'OK' to the client. This is needed to satisfy
  the bogus check at the end of the DLNA CTT testcase 7.3.136.4.
- If the template device description was modified after cached description was
  modified/created, use the template device description. Without this change,
  user had to manually remove the cached description documents each time we
  modified the templates.
- Only set dlnaManaged flags if any of the contained flag is set. This is
  needed to comply with DLNA requirements 7.3.118.2-3.
- Use correct resolution for MPEG_TS_SD_EU_ISO transcoded streams.
- Remove now redundant vala work-arounds.
- MediaExport:
  - Fix update signal emission.
  - Disable plugin on error during it's initialization.
  - Only on-disk container should be marked as writable. That excludes both
    special containers like "Filesystem" and virtual/metadata containers.
  - Optimize searches by preventing a full-table scan and custom function.
- Tracker:
  - Adapt to new update signals API.
  - Handle update signals (only) in All* containers. In these containers we can
    easily know if the update affect the container or not. This is is not true
    for other containers and we end-up launching a lot of redundant Tracker
    queries and network traffic.
  - Keep a single hierarchy for all network interfaces to reduce resource
    consumption.
- Localization:
  - Update Simplified Chinese translation.
  - Update Thai Translation.
  - Update Romanian translation.
  - Update UG translation.
  - Update Hebrew translation.
  - Update Estonian translation.
  - Update Galician translations.
- Many other non-functional and/or minor improvements and fixes.

Dependency-related changes:

- Require vala 0.11.2.

Bugs fixed in this release:

635957 - Typo in copyright year in some source files.
635598 - Rygel 0.8.x does not remove deleted files.

0.9.2
=====

A new release in the current unstable 0.9.x series for upcoming GNOME 2.91.2
release.

- Add support for destruction of media objects.
- Implement DLNA's 'auto-destroy' requirement.
- Set dlnaManaged attribute on DIDL-Lite objects. This along with some other
  recent changes, allows us to pass the following DLNA CTT testcases:
  - 7.3.118.2,3
  - 7.3.121.1
  - 7.3.139.1
- Sort Search and Browse results alphabetically (in descending order) by title
  when no sorting criteria is specified by the client.
- Use URI when provided in item creation requests.
- There is no need to actually create the file for new items. The file will
  automatically be created when/if contents are copied to the new empy item.
- Only allow pushing content to our own items that are place-holder (empty).
- Remove redundant call to Gst.init().
- Unique short commandline argument for disabling WMV transcoding.
- Make use of new gupnp-av APIs.
- Port to vala 0.11.1 and 0.11.2.
- Tracker:
  - Tracker keeps the size set by us originally even after the size changes. A
    simple work-around is to just not set the size if its an empty file.
  - Save title when adding item to store.
  - Update container upon item addition.
- MediaExport:
  - Export media even if metadata extraction fails for it.
  - Improved debug log.
- MPRIS:
  - Fix service destination.
- Localization:
  - Add Catalan (Valencian) translation.
  - Add Thai translation.
  - Update British English translation.
  - Update Simplified Chinese translation.
- Many other non-functional and/or minor improvements and fixes.

Dependency-related changes:

- Require vala >= 0.11.1.
- Require gupnp-av & gupnp-vala >= 0.7.0.

0.9.1
=====

A new release in the current unstable 0.9.x series for upcoming GNOME 2.91.1
release.

- Don't assume user's config folder to be present everywhere. This assumption is
  only true for modern (free)desktops and fails us badly on headless machines.
- Properly require automake 1.11.
- Custom rule to remove .stamp files to enforce rebuild from vala sources.
- Destroy the device list before quiting main loop. For some reason, the SSDP
  'BYE' message doesn't get sent out for all devices before rygel exits. This
  change makes sending of these packet a lot more (could actually be 100%)
  reliable.
- Tracker:
  - Make sure we only expose items that are either explicity marked to be shared
    over UPnP network or not marked at all.
  - Assume UPnP-created items to be shared. We create items on demand from UPnP
    clients so its logical to assume that the client would want it to be
    available on the UPnP network immediately after their creation.
  - Some non-functional changes.
  - URI escape metadata titles for IDs to correctly handle titles that have
    charachters like ',' and ':' in them.
- Localization:
  - Update Slovenian translation.
  - Update Korean translation.
  - Update Estonian translation.

0.9.0
=====

This release marks the start of the new unstable release-cycle. This is also the
release cycle that will be integrated into GNOME 3. Changes since 0.7.8 that
were not present in subsequent stable (0.8.x) releases:

- Port from dbus-glib and GValue usage to GDBus and GVariant.
- Do not offer HTTP GET/HEAD URIs for place-holder (0-sized) items. This is
  needed to avoid crashes when a newly created item is fetched before the client
  pushes any contents to it.
- Hack XBox search for upnp:class to make it happy.
- Direct XBox's genre search to root container.
- Set item's size on creation.
- Always set VAPIDIR to ${datadir}/vala/vapi.
- Tracker:
  - Add 'Genre' hierarchy.
  - Provide specific UPnP class for artist and album containers so that they
    could be searched by this property. This fixes music browsing on XBox 360.
  - Fix item ID creation logic.
  - Optimize handling of invalid searches and in turn searches in general.
  - Improved handling of search by "upnp:class".
  - Unknown size means size of 0.
  - Expose more information for music items:
    - sample rate
    - number of channels
    - bits per sample
    - bitrate
- MediaExport:
  - Proper default values for item metdata. This fixes the misterious "0" Album
    and Artist on XBox.
  - Handle requests for audio and image item types, not just music and pictures.
- Localization:
  - Add Brazilian Portuguese translation.
  - Add Catalan translation.
  - Add Italian translation.

  - Update simplified Chinese translation.
  - Update Estonian translation.
  - Update Danish translation.

0.7.8
=====

A new release in the current unstable 0.7.x series for upcoming GNOME 2.31.92
release.

- If the client didn't pass a Range header in the request, don't append
  Accept-Ranges and Content-Range headers to response. This fixes picture
  browsing on XBox 360 (again).
- Don't put empty nodes in device description.
- Use '\r\n' instead of '\n' in XML files. Some UPnP devices in the market are
  apparently unable to handle the unix EOL character so we better provide the
  XML files in DOS format.
- MediaExport:
  - Fix an assertion failure.
- Localization:
  - Remove markup from a translatable string in preferences UI.
  - Don't build translatable strings by substitution.
  - Prefer the term 'folder' over 'directory' in translated strings.

A new release in the current unstable 0.7.x series for upcoming GNOME 2.31.91
release.

- Add manpages for rygel and rygel.conf.
- Add support for search by album and artist.
- Don't advertize support for search by '@refID' as we don't really support
  and use it at all.
- Drop support for search by 'res' and 'res@protocolInfo'. Since we didn't
  handle proxy and transcoding resources this gave wrong impression to the
  clients and was causing rygel to fail DLNA test cases.
- Don't error out on empty search results.
- Error out on HTTP request for invalid transfer mode.
- Fix typo in serialization of "upnp:createClass".
- Case-insensitive string comparisons.

  the ones that are complete.
- Correct sending of error to client when import of resource fails.
- Make sure we don't make invalid comparisons during the search.
- Do not set the 'sp-flag' as we never really are the clock source for the
  content, even in case of live/transcoded streams.
- Add MPRIS2 plugin. This plugin turns any media player that implements
  MPRIS2[1] D-Bus interface into a UPnP MediaRenderer.
- MediaExport:
  - Don't forget containers in children count.
  - Fix handling of "exists" operator in search.
  - Add m4v, m4a and png to list of file extensions to entertain.
  - Apply filter to monitoring of files as well.
  - Add support for the "Genre" folder of XBox.
  - Fix IOP with Windows Media Player 12.
  - Allow user to specify standard XDG media directories using variables.
  - Export XDG standard media directories by default but this time through
    default user configuration.

release.

- Fix wildcard handling in search request.

0.7.1
=====

A new release in the current unstable 0.7.x series for upcoming GNOME 2.31.4
release.

- Implement DLNA's 'AnyContainer' upload extenstion. This allows clients to
  upload items without having to specify target container. Currently it only
  works for the Tracker backend.
- Report types of items that could be created/uploaded in a container and allow
  clients to search containers by this property.
- Port last bits of C code to Vala. Now Rygel is completely written in Vala.
- Make Rygel build/work against both current stable and unstable Vala releases.
- Offer SD transcoding in EU profile. Seems certain Sony Bravia TVs only
  support EU profiles. With this change, they should at least be able to use the
  SD transcoding.
- Two more unit tests.
- Provide default configuration for WMV transcoding.
- Correctly handle boolean commandline option for disabling WMV transcoder.
- External:
  - Port the external plugin to use the new D-Bus MediaServer specification:
    http://live.gnome.org/Rygel/MediaServer2Spec. The new specification is meant
    to be very generic and scale well to large media hierarchies.
  - Make use of search API when implemented by the external application.
  - Various other performance improvements.
- Preferences UI:
  - Improve resize behavior.
  - Add missing bevel to URI tree view.
  - Replace GtkVBox by GtkVButtonBox where appropriate.
- Localization:
  - Added Punjabi Translation.
  - Updated Norwegian bokmål translation.
  - Updated Galician translations.
  - Updated Spanish translation.
  - Updated Hebrew translation.
- Various non-functional improvements.

Dependency-related changes:

- Require gtk+-3.0 >= 2.90.3.
- Require gupnp-av >= 0.5.7.
- Require gupnp-vala >= 0.6.7.

Bugs fixed in this release:

593628 - mp2ts transcoder not working with certain Bravia TV models.
596214 - URI table is missing bevel.

0.7.0
=====

This release marks the start of the new unstable release-cycle. This is also the
release cycle that will be integrated into GNOME 2.31 (and 3.0 eventually).
Changes since 0.6.0:

- Exit on failure to load any plugins in 5 seconds.
- Add icon to preferences UI's desktop file.
- Correct error on missing 'Elements' node in 'CreateObject' action from client.
- Advertize upload features in 'X_DLNACAP' in device description.
- Remove comments from description files as per DLNA requirement (7.2.30.1).
- Don't allow comments in DIDL-Lite from client either. This is to satisfy the
  DLNA Confirmation Test Tool rather than DLNA itself.
- Don't advertize unimplemented actions.
- autogen.sh should create m4 directory if it doesn't exist already.
- Correct Icon path in preferences UI for uninstalled case.
- Specify on debug log where rygel is currently looking for plugins.
- Localization:
  - Don't translate all strings in media-export plugin.
  - No need to translate Mediathek plugin.
  - Add Hebrew translation.
  - Add Swedish translation.
  - Add Czech translation.
  - More Spanish translations.
  - More Slovenian translations.
  - More German translations.
- MediaExport:
  - Fix search result. Search was returning the the result for the current
    limits, not the overall result count. This lead to strange behaviour on
    e.g. XBox 360.
  - Optimize searches. Noticable speed improvements on XBox music browsing.
  - Fix broken SQL query to get object by path.
  - Remove redundant custom tag for duration.
  - Make harvesting of metadata optional.
  - Re-enable simple mode which means we exporting media on the UPnP network
    even if no meta-data extractor is available.

0.4.4
=====

Brief summary of changes since 0.4.2:

- Provide a gstreamer-based MediaRenderer plugin. This is mostly code stolen (
  and heavily adapted) from gupnp-media-renderer except that it doesn't depend
  on libowl-av and/or gtk+.
- More ease for MediaServer implementors.
- Better error handling.
- Make sure no message is suppressed until we know what level of console output
  user wants.
- Make use of vala's async support to simplify code quite a bit.
- Plugins should load xml files from source tree when built with
  '--enable-uninstalled' configure flag.
- Build with no optimizations in debug mode.
- Use closure table to speed up object lookup and deletion.
- Add build option for SQL debugging.
- Workaround a crasher bug (#3774) in sqlite 3.6.12.
- Use vala's static client D-Bus syntax.
- Early ignorance of disabled plugins. This not only speeds-up startup a bit but
  also rids us of redundant debug messages.
- MediaExport:
  - Nicely handle unavailability of gstreamer's playbin(2) element.
  - Fix a potential crasher.
- Tracker:
  - Use multidimensional arrays to deal with search results. This combined with
    static client D-Bus syntax gives us quite a speed boost.
  - Handle item creation error.
- External:
  - Allow applications to provide custom thumbnails for items.
  - Support pixel-aspect-ratio properties.
  - All D-Bus operations are now done asynchronously.
  - Make use of plugin icon if provided.
  - Move magic string substitution to core so other plugins can benefit from it.
- Lots of other improvements and bug fixes.

Dependency-related changes:

- Require and adapt to libgee >= 0.5.
- Require and adapt to valac >= 0.7.8.

0.4.2
=====

Brief summary of changes since 0.4.1:

- Ability to specify verbosity of console messages by a number between 0 to 5.
- Be able to survive unavailability of D-Bus session bus. This should make it
  easier to setup Rygel on headless NAS machines.
- MediaExport:
  - Provide duration and date of media.
  - Improved guessing for type (UPnP class) of media.
  - Re-harvest metadata when a file/directory is modified.
  - Speed-up browsing (twice as before).
- rygel-preferences:
  - Fix enabling/disabling of widgets.
  - Copy the desktop file from correct location.
- Mediathek and GstLaunch disabled by default in the user configuration.
- Add GstLaunch to maemo configuration (disabled by default though).
- Put dbus-glib-1 to the list of vala API dependencies.
- Fix seek headers.
- Be more verbose at the end of configure.

Bugs fixed in this release:

596500 - Mpeg TS video files are mistaken for audio files
596213 - Wrong state for checkboxes
596327 - Enables some weird plugins by default

0.4.1
=====

A micro release that fixes some important issues found in the previous release:

- Update the Rygel D-Bus service paths everywhere.
- Ignore two ignorable errors.
- Initialize sensitivity of trancoding checkboxes to the same value as that of
  "Transcoding Support" checkbox.
- Fix seeking in transcoded streams. Without this fix, the success of seeking
  was based on pure luck.
- Correct headers in some files to reflect the correct license: LGPL.
- No need for DVB configuration anymore.

Bugs fixed in this release:

596211 - Error exiting the prefs
596213 - Wrong state for checkboxes

0.4
===

Brief summary of changes since 0.3:

- Rygel is no more just a MediaServer but rather a collection of DLNA (UPnP AV)
  services (devices in UPnP speak).
- Port to new GUPnP APIs. The biggest advantage of that is that we now have
  dynamic network support, i-e Rygel can attach/detach to/from a network
  interface as it goes up/down.
- Support for time-based seeking in transcoded streams.
- Random tweaks to transcoding pipelines.
- Provide a DBus service providing two functionalities:
   * Ability to tell Rygel to shutdown. Starting of Rygel is automatically
     handled by D-Bus since a .service file is provided by Rygel.
   * Ability to tell Rygel (MediaExport plugin actually) to (un)export URIs on
     the fly.
- Implement enabling/disabling of UPnP in the preferences.
- Configuration through command-line options.
- Use a .ini configuration file rather than gconf.
- Special default configuration for Maemo.
- Don't spam the user's config directory and instead keep the description files
  into a separate subdirectory.
- `make clean` doesn't clean the generated C files anymore.
- Remove "all rights reserved" part from all copyright headers.
- Remove integrated DVB plugin as DVBDaemon now implements the external plugin
  interface and hence dynamically glues to Rygel, just like PulseAudio.
- New classes to further ease the plugin implementation.
- (Un)pause the SoupMessage at the right time. This was causing a lot of delays
  when playing media on Sony PS3.
- Bitrate is supposed to be in bytes/second. Not really but tell that to writers
  of UPnP specification.
- Expose transcode formats in the GetProtocolInfo's source argument. This should
  make Sony Bravia TVs happy.
- Transcoder URIs are now sorted according to their distance from the original
  format.
- Provide "contentFeatures.dlna.org" header in the HTTP responses.
- Provide DLNA transferMode header in the HTTP responses.
- Only advertise internal URIs on local loopback interface.
- Replace 'ip' config by 'interface' so users can bind Rygel to interfaces
  rather than IP.
- Allow plugins to provide thumbnails.
- Add thumbnails (if available) for each item if none provided by plugins. This
  works both on the desktop and Maemo.
- Suppress all C compiler warnings by default. These warnings are mostly useless
  for us since almost all C code is generated.
- Preference dialog is now more like a GNOME preferences dialog.
- Provide .desktop file for preferences dialog.
- Shave the build output.
- GstLaunch: New plugin that exposes gstreamer pipelines described using
  familiar gst-launch syntax in the user configuration.
- Tracker plugin:
  - Nicer default title.
  - Better detection of Tracker availability. Apparently ubuntu folks think that
    providing a .service file is wrong.
  - Better titles for top-level folders.
  - More usable hierarchy: Browsing by artists, albums and tags.
- Folder plugin:
  - Rename to MediaExport.
  - Nicer default title.
  - Use the new Rygel classes to extract, export and save media metadata.
  - notify about updates to containers.
  - Skip files/folders starting with '.'.
  - Avoid crash if unknown file is found.
  - Delete gone directories on new start.
  - React on deletion of files.
  - Add recursive file monitoring.
  - Provide simple and easy options to add and remove files and folders from the
    preferences UI.
- External plugin:
  - actually use 'DLNAProfile' property.
  - Don't load the plugin more than once.
  - Utilise optional MediaItem properties.
  - Fetch items on demand.
  - Fix critical warnings.
- Mediathek plugin:
  - Fix crash if no config is available.

Dependency-related changes:

- Require gupnp >= 0.13
- Require gupnp-av >= 0.5
- Require GStreamer >= 0.10.23
- Require libgee >= 0.3.0

586108 - ID3 information not exported on mp3 files
588034 - Bad durations for audio video files with media export plugin
585986 - Some copyright headers claim "all rights reserved"
585989 - Running "make clean" should leave generated C files in place.
586134 - Tracker plugin fails if org.freedesktop.Tracker can't be activated,
         even if tracker is already running
586243 - GStreamer 0.10.23 required for correct operation of transcoder
587651 - Support for some MediaItem properties missing
587855 - HTTP Error responses not sent
587866 - No way to notify about new sub-containers

589974 - Set the bitrate for transcoded resources correctly.
589977 - Rygel not recognised by Sony Bravia televisions
590643 - refactor HTTP request handling code
590702 - Rygel should provide thumbnails for items

0.3
===

Brief summary of changes since 0.2.2:

- Transcoding from any format (that gstreamer's decodebin2 can handle) to mp3,
  linear PCM and mpeg transport stream containing mpeg 2 video and mp2 audio.
- Plugin API to deal with user preferences.
- User preferences UI: rygel-preferences.
- New plugins:
   * Folder: Recursively exports folders specified in the user preferences.
   * ZDFMediathek: Exports online media from 2nd German TV station.
   * External: Exports media hierarchies provided by external applications
     through implementation of this spec:
     http://live.gnome.org/Rygel/MediaServer. The first application
     that utilizes this feature is PulseAudio.
- Drop xbox support. It didn't work anyway and we better concentrate on
  implementing standard stuff that it at least worthy of being called "UPnP" (
  at least for now).
- Tracker and DVB plugins are only loaded if their corresponding services are
  available.
- Export of duration for music and video items from Tracker.
- Use HTTP EOF encoding rather the CHUNKED for live streams.
- Ability to build rygel plugins outside it's source tree.
- HTTP proxying only if needed.
- Now that gupnp-av does DLNA profile guessing for us, no need to lie about
  DLNA profile anymore.
- Add a summary after configure.
- HTTServer is now internal API.
- Use git-version-gen to generate package version.
- Differentiate between modules and plugins
- Passive, asynchronous plugin loading. A side-effect of which is that modules
  can now load more than one plugin.
- Differentiate between name and title of the plugin.
- Plugins can now dynamically change their availability.
- Add API to get/list plugins.
- Re-use existing description from user's home directory. This not only speeds
  the start-up but also obsoletes the necessity to keep immutable data (e.g UDN)
  in user preferences.
- Provide gconf schemas.
- Lots of other improvements and bug fixes.

Dependency-related changes:

- Explicitly require and link to libsoup-2.4 >= 2.26.0.
- Don't require Vala (and bindings) in distribution tarball.
- Require gupnp-av >= 0.4.
- Require Vala >= 0.7.3.
- Require Gtk+ >= 2.16 if preferences UI is not disabled.

Bugs fixed in this release:

582173 - git-version-gen: generate versions with - instead of .
577000 - gupnp-av-cp does not like & in uris
576998 - Rygel wants to transcode audio files to video/mpeg
575935 - Add support for duration metadata field
574604 – bug connecting to PS3

0.2.2
=====

Changes since 0.2:

- Use the new (0.6.9) Tracker API.
- Priority of gio-based streams are based on requested DLNA transfer mode.
- GIO-based/like asynchronous plugin API.
- Adapt to latest changes in gupnp-vala API.
- Serialization of media objects isn't done by media objects themselve
  anymore, but by a new separate class, Rygel.DIDLLiteWriter.
- Internal API is marked 'internal' so it doesn't get to our (Vala) API.
- MediaObject now derives from GLib.Object.
- Generic AsyncResult implementation, SimpleAsyncResult.
- StateMachine interface that all state machines classes implement.
- Visible performance improvements in Tracker plugin by proper use of Tracker
  APIs.
- Use Filename.to_string() and therefore make Bastien happy.
- Require lastest version (0.1.5) of libgee to use List.slice().
- Don't limit the number of objects returned to a client, let it decide
  that on it's own.
- Proper handling of update notification to the client by use of a very simple
  bubble-up mechanism for containers to signal updates.
- Decrease needed gconf version to 2.16.
- Set application name and therefore make Lennart happy.
- Require latest version of vala (0.5.7) and gupnp-vala (0.5.3).
- Allow multiple URIs for each media items.
- Response for seekable media request is now sent buffer by buffer so the whole
  file is not put into memory.
- Some improvements to build system.
- Lots of other improvements and bugfixes.

0.2
===

The major change after last release (as gupnp-media-server) is the introduction
of a simple yet powerful plugin-based architecture/api: Every plugin:
- is loaded into a separate MediaServer instance.
- can implement any kind and number of resources (currently only services).
- can export an icon file.
- inherit it's ContentDirectory implementation from a base class that does most
  of the UPnP-related work. More improvements on this planned for next release.
- use an intuitive API to easily export media from URIs and live GStreamer
  source elements over HTTP.

Other changes:

- Relicense under LGPL to allow proprietary plugins and ease of moving code
  from/to gupnp libraries.
- DVB Daemon integration though a plugin. Now you can watch live channels from
  your PC on your PS3 for example.
- Test plugin that exports one audio and video item, streaming contents from
  GStreamer's audiotestsrc and videotestsrc elements respectively.
- Better interoperability with Sony playstation 3.
- Announce unavailability to UPnP world on exit.
- Loads of other improvements.
