+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.
+  - Update Bulgarian translation.
+  - Update Czech translation.
+  - Update Galician translations.
+  - Update Hebrew translation.
+  - Update French translation.
+  - Update Hungarian translation.
+  - Update Japanese translation.
