Changes since 0.5.7: - Fix crashes in DIDLLiteContributor API. - Remove incomplete and broken DLNA guessing code. Applications should use gupnp-dlna now for all their DLNA needs. - Do set the 'dlna:profileID' property of 'albumArtURI' node and treat it as mandatory as per DLNA guidelines (7.3.61.3). - Prefer non-transcoded resources over transcoded ones when choosing compatible resources for a particular MediaRenderer. - Minor correction to DIDL filtering code. - Some other minor improvements/fixes.

A new release in the current unstable 0.7.x series for upcoming GNOME 2.31.5 release. * MediaExport: * Support DLNA's 'AnyContainer' upload extenstion. * Only harvest media files. We use a positive list for file extensions to include in the metadata extraction. * Implement fallback to the default (slow) search implementation. * Lower severity for some of the console messages. * Update code according to latest GStreamer Vala API fixes. * Tracker: * Improve Sparql query builder to achieve much better performance and reduced D-Bus traffic. * GstRenderer: * Relicense from GPL to LGPL. * More descriptive default title. - Localization: - Add Simplified Chinese translation. - Add Traditional Chinese translation (Hong Kong and Taiwan). - Updated Spanish translation. - Various non-functional improvements to core and plugins.

Rygel 0.7.1 (Home on the Remains) is out! A new release in the current unstable 0.7.x series for upcoming GNOME 2.31.4 release. - Implement DLNA's 'AnyContainer' upload extenstion. This allows clients to upload items without having to specify target container. Currently it only works for the Tracker backend. - Report types of items that could be created/uploaded in a container and allow clients to search containers by this property. - Port last bits of C code to Vala. Now Rygel is completely written in Vala. - Make Rygel build/work against both current stable and unstable Vala releases. - Offer SD transcoding in EU profile. Seems certain Sony Bravia TVs only support EU profiles. With this change, they should at least be able to use the SD transcoding. - Two more unit tests. - Provide default configuration for WMV transcoding. - Correctly handle boolean commandline option for disabling WMV transcoder. - External: - Port the external plugin to use the new D-Bu

As part of this years Google Summer of Code, Sunil Ghai (a student from India) has taken-up the task of securely bridging multiple UPnP networks across the internet. You can follow the progress of the project through Sunil's blog . Before you say it, yes! I did get the idea from my "competitors" but unlike them, we are going to do it the (UPnP) standard and efficient (as usual) way.
