 NEW AWESOME FEATURES AND ENHANCEMENTS
 ===============================================================================
 
-    Banshee 1.5.4 brings many big changes, new features, and fixes!
+    Banshee 1.5.5 is mostly a bug fix release, with a few enhancements.  This
+    release marks the start of our string freeze in preparation for 1.6.
 
     New Features:
 
-      * Opt-In Usage Data Collection
+      * Gapless Playback (playbin2)
 
-          Under Preferences, you can choose to "Improve Banshee by sending
-          anonymous usage data" back to the Banshee developers.  This collects
-          information on what version you're running, what OS, library size,
-          slow SQL queries, and a whitelisted subset of your preferences. This
-          information will help us choose better defaults and see what parts of
-          Banshee are used most and can be improved. All collected data is
-          anonymous!
+          Banshee now uses the playbin2 GStreamer element.  With this comes
+          support for gapless playback, which is the default now for users
+          with GStreamer > 0.10.25.2.
 
-      * Default Equalizer Presets
+      * YouTube Extension
 
-          Banshee now ships with several equalizer presets, and the core of
-          the equalizer management has seen much internal improvement.
-
-      * Banshee Community Extensions
-
-          A new sub-project named Banshee Community Extensions has been
-          created.  Its code is hosted on Gitorious, and its bugs tracked
-          in bugzilla.gnome.org.  It already contains 9 extensions, including
-          AlarmClock, Lyrics, and Mirage, and has 15 maintainers.  Its releases
-          track Banshee's; for more information, see
-
-            http://banshee-project.org/download/extensions/
-
-      * Extensible Shuffle Modes
-
-          Extensions can now add new shuffle modes and PlayQueue fill-by
-          modes.  The Mirage extension is the first to take advantage of this,
-          adding a Shuffle/Fill-by Similar mode based on acoustical analysis.
+          This extension shows YouTube videos in the Context Pane related to
+          what you're playing, and lets you watch them within Banshee.  You
+          can enable it in the Extensions tab of Preferences.
 
     Enhancements:
 
-      * Wikipedia context pane extension enabled by default
-      * Add support for Nokia N900 phones
-      * Add tooltip to playback error column
-      * On close Internet Archive item, return to Search

-      * Enable 'Delete From Drive' action in File System Queue
-      * Make debuggable from within MonoDevelop
-      * Coverart for unicode artist/albums now supported
-      * Dropped glade-sharp dep; GNOME 3.0 ready
-      * Add columns showing track sample rate and bits per sample
-      * Option to sort an artist's albums by year, not title
-      * If starting Banshee hidden (--hide), up to half a second of
-        startup time is saved; this is particularly useful in Moblin
+      * Improve search responsiveness on large libraries
+      * Add icons for Nexus One and Audiobooks
+      * Play Queue item count, size, duration now ignores old tracks
+      * Muinshee fixes: disable Auto-DJ, allow reordering, hide previous song
