["Zeeshan Ali (Khattak)" <zeenix gmail com>]

Rygel 0.9.0 (The Ugly Truth) is out!

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.

What is Rygel?

Rygel is a collection of DLNA (UPnP AV) services implemented through a plug-in
mechanism. UPnP in simplest words is a set of protocols that defines how
different devices on a home network can seamlessly (without or with minimum
configuration) communicate with each other. UPnP AV defines how multimedia
systems could be built on top of that. DLNA in simple words is a long list of
rules that implementers must comply to if they want to achieve interoperability
with other implementations in the market.
