This is the release announcement of Rygel 0.2.2

 

Changes since 0.2:

 

- Use the new (0.6.9) Tracker API.

- Priority of gio-based streams are based on requested DLNA transfer mode.

- GIO-based/like asynchronous plugin API.

- Adapt to latest changes in gupnp-vala API.

- Serialization of media objects isn't done by media objects themselve

anymore, but by a new separate class, Rygel.DIDLLiteWriter.

- Internal API is marked 'internal' so it doesn't get to our (Vala) API.

- MediaObject now derives from GLib.Object.

- Generic AsyncResult implementation, SimpleAsyncResult.

- StateMachine interface that all state machines classes implement.

- Visible performance improvements in Tracker plugin by proper use of

Tracker APIs.

- Use Filename.to_string() and therefore make Bastien happy.

- Require lastest version (0.1.5) of libgee to use List.slice().

- Don't limit the number of objects returned to a client, let it

decide that on it's own.

- Proper handling of update notification to the client by use of a

very simple bubble-up mechanism for containers to signal updates.

- Decrease needed gconf version to 2.16.

- Set application name and therefore make Lennart happy.

- Require latest version of vala (0.5.7) and gupnp-vala (0.5.3).

- Allow multiple URIs for each media items.

- Response for seekable media request is now sent buffer by buffer so

the whole file is not put into memory.
