+0.7.4
+=====
+
+A new release in the current unstable 0.7.x series for upcoming GNOME 2.32.0
+release.
+
+- Fix wildcard handling in search request.
+- Distribute correct copy of scallable icons.
+- Provide icons in DLNA standard sizes.
+- Provide icons in JPEG format as well.
+- Don't offer transcoding from video to audio and viceversa. This makes sense
+  anyway and reduces network traffic.
+- Only offer time seeking if duration is known.
+- Report correct DLNA profile for MPEG-TS HD and WMV transcoder.
+- List DLNA formats first in the list of supported formats.
+- Provide correct values for out parameters of GetCurrentConnectionInfo action.
+- Correctly handle HTTP 'POST' requests.
+- Correct checks for vala bindings.
+- Use new 64-bit size property in GUPnP resource API so that we can deal with
+  resources bigger than 2GB.
+- Fix some (potential) crashes.
+- Correctly handle a translated string involving plurals.
+- Don't use deprecated libsoup API.
+- Correct flaws in code related to search for media object by ID. This combined
+  with some changes in Tracker plugin (see below) improves the reliability and
+  especially the performance of Tracker plugin a lot.
+- Use the mime-type and DLNA profile when provided in item creation requests.
+- Advertize byte-seek support for thumbnails.
+- Correct algorithm to decide whether to seek or not.
+- Set standard header on XML files.
+- Prefix service URLs with a "/". This seems like the right way to do it and it
+  might actually improve our IOP.
+- Make use of new APIs to report all known DLNA profiles in list of supported
+  formats (MediaServer only).
+- Add support for the "Genre" tag in music items.

+  - Handle AlbumArt property.
+  - Fix a few crashes.
+  - Remove workaround for bug#602003.

+  - Print debug after item creation in store.
+MediaExport:
+  - Disable plugin when Tracker plugin is/becomes available.
+  - Require sqlite3 VAPI only for this plugin.
+  - Code clean-up and general speed improvements
+  - Extract embedded album art
+  - Remove the ability for user-defined virtual folders, providing a set of
+    built-in folders similar to that of tracker's.
+  - Fix some minor regressions introduced by the switch to gupnp-dlna metadata
+    extraction
+  - Move configured files and folders into their own "Files & Folders" container
+    to de-clutter root.
