Features of this release
* Parallel installability with 0.10.x series
- * Ported to the new 0.11 core API
- * Improved video helper classes
-There were no bugs fixed in this release
-
+ * alsa: fix probing of supported formats, and advertise non-native-endianness formats as fallback
+ * audiobasesink: properly handle GAP events (fixing some isses with e.g. certain DVD menus)
+ * audioconvert: try harder to not convert or to preserve input format precision
+ * audiodecoder: leak fixes and refcounting fixes
+ * audioresample: re-enable the SSE/SSE2 code paths for better performance
+ * riff: fix paletted RGB formats and msvideo mapping
+ * rtsp: make formatting and parsing of range floating-point values locale-independent
+ * playbin: streamsynchronizer fixes, esp. for handling corner-cases near EOS
+ * tcpserver{sink,src}: add 'current-port' property and signal actually used port
+ * videoconvert: fix handling of paletted RGB formats
+ * videodecoder: don't leak message strings when error is not fatal
+ * videodecoder: finetune missing timestamp estimating
