Rygel 0.3 (Berlin is cool if it doesn't rain) is out

Rygel 0.3 (Berlin is cool if it doesn't rain) is out!

Here are is relase announcement:

Brief summary of changes since 0.2.2:

- Transcoding from any format (that gstreamer's decodebin2 can handle) to mp3,
 linear PCM and mpeg transport stream containing mpeg 2 video and mp2 audio.
- Plugin API to deal with user preferences.
- User preferences UI: rygel-preferences.
- New plugins:
  * Folder: Recursively exports folders specified in the user preferences.
  * ZDFMediathek: Exports online media from 2nd German TV station.
  * External: Exports media hierarchies provided by external applications
    through implementation of this spec:
    http://live.gnome.org/Rygel/MediaServer. The first application
    that utilizes this feature is PulseAudio.
- Drop xbox support. It didn't work anyway and we better concentrate on
 implementing standard stuff that it at least worthy of being called "UPnP" (
 at least for now).
- Tracker and DVB plugins are only loaded if their corresponding services are
 available.
- Export of duration for music and video items from Tracker.
- Use HTTP EOF encoding rather the CHUNKED for live streams.
- Ability to build rygel plugins outside it's source tree.
- HTTP proxying only if needed.
- Now that gupnp-av does DLNA profile guessing for us, no need to lie about
 DLNA profile anymore.
- Add a summary after configure.
- HTTServer is now internal API.
- Use git-version-gen to generate package version.
- Differentiate between modules and plugins
- Passive, asynchronous plugin loading. A side-effect of which is that modules
 can now load more than one plugin.
- Differentiate between name and title of the plugin.
- Plugins can now dynamically change their availability.
- Add API to get/list plugins.
- Re-use existing description from user's home directory. This not only speeds
 the start-up but also obsoletes the necessity to keep immutable data (e.g UDN)
 in user preferences.
- Provide gconf schemas.
- Lots of other improvements and bug fixes.

Dependency-related changes:

- Explicitly require and link to libsoup-2.4 >= 2.26.0.
- Don't require Vala (and bindings) in distribution tarball.
- Require gupnp-av >= 0.4.
- Require Vala >= 0.7.3.
- Require Gtk+ >= 2.16 if preferences UI is not disabled.

582173 - git-version-gen: generate versions with - instead of .
577000 - gupnp-av-cp does not like & in uris
