+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 Traditional Chinese translation (Hong Kong and Taiwan).
+ - 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.

+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".

+ 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.

+ MPRIS2[1] D-Bus interface into a UPnP MediaRenderer.
+- MediaExport:
+ - Don't forget containers in children count.

+ - Add m4v, m4a and png to list of file extensions to entertain.

+ default user configuration.
+- Tracker:
+ - Correct some checks.
+ - Escape regex for SPARQL.
+- GstLaunch:
+ - Use '-' instead of '_' in user configrution options.

+- Localization:
+ - Add Greek translation.
+ - Add British English translation.
+ - Update French translation.
+ - Update Traditional Chinese translation (Hong Kong and Taiwan).

+
+- 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.

+- 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.

+ - Fix broken SQL query to get object by path.
+ - Remove redundant custom tag for duration.
+ - Make harvesting of metadata optional.

+- Allow creation of new media items and tranfering data into existing ones (
+ upload). This is relavent to, and works for both MediaExport and Tracker.
+- Implement GetTransferProgress and StopTransferResource actions.
+- Advertise:
+ - support for connection stalling.
+ - live response to be sender-paced.
+- Rewrite SearchCriteria parser to make it more reliable.
+- Tracker:
+ - Port to the Tracker 0.7 APIs.
+ - Provide richer & more intuitive media hierarchy.
+ - Signal container update on changes to subjects.
+ - Act on config options allowing user to define which categories to share.
+ - Support for search by URI.
+ - Descriptive IDs for containers.
+- MediaExport
+ - Implement custom search that translates to an SQLite query and therefore
+ performs much faster than before.
+ - Print message on console when harvesting is done.
+ - Don't modify DB if harvester was cancelled.
+ - Cancel harvester before starting new one.
+- Lots of non-functional improvements and fixes.

+0.4.6
+=====
+
+Brief summary of changes since 0.4.4:

+ for a commercial MediaServer but is also a big first step towards proper
+ XBox 360 support.
+- Simplify Browse action handling.
+- Simplify MediaServer plugin implementation.
+- Make sure autostart dir exists before attempting to write to it.
+- Fix a potential crash that is trigered by MediaContainer reporting incorrect
+ (higher) number of children.
+- External:
+ - Work around (vala) bug#602003.
+ - Optimizations and code clean-ups.
+- Tracker:
+ - Provide an efficient Search implementation using Tracker's search API.
+ - Minor code clean-ups.
+
+Dependency-related changes:
+
+- Require gupnp-av >= 0.5.2.
+- Require gupnp-vala >= 0.6.2.

+
+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.

+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.

+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.

+
+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
+
+Bugs fixed in this release:

+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

+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.
