Rygel 0.9.5 (Wait for the Wheel)

Rygel 0.9.5 (Wait for the Wheel) is out!

Changes since 0.9.4:

- Only advertize searchable containers as such.
- Do not execute search in non-searchable containers.
- Only refuse to advertise a transcoder for an item if it's DLNA profile
  is the same as that of the item in question.
- Don't wait for new item if its already available under the container.
- Add timeouts to container update waiting code.
- Sort in ascending order by default. I had gotten the idea of ascending and
  descending reversed in my head so ended-up sorting by title in wrong order.
- Empty sort criteria in browse/search requests means no sort criteria.
- Use shorter HTTP URLs.
- Add support for search of media containers by their child count.
- Delay addition of child containers to actual (exposed) hierarchy until they
  produce some offspring. Very often it happens that we don't have enough
  metadata available to populate our hierarchies and we end-up exposing empty
  containers. Not only its contrary to user's expectations but apparently DLNA
  CTT isn't able to digest them.
- Move magic ' <at> ADDRESS <at> ' substitution from external plugin to core so all
  plugins can use it.
- If the root container of a MediaServer plugin is empty, deactivate the plugin
  until the situation changes.
- Tracker:
  - Add title-based hierarchies: One container for each unique starting
    character of all the titles available for the contegory in question.
  - Add "New" container: Under each category container, add a child container
    that lists all items of that category that were added (to tracker-store)
    less than 3 days ago.

Rygel 0.9.6 (Different Destinations)

Rygel 0.9.6 (Different Destinations) is out!

Another micro release to mainly fix a critical bug in 0.9.5. Other changes:

- Correct meaning for 'upnp_enabled' configuration option. Its now set to 'true'
  by default and if you set this to 'false' and run rygel, you can still stream
  media (currently only over HTTP) from it.
- Add option to disable UPnP to all configuration sources.
- Environment variables for boolean options now follow general unix conventions.
- Localization:
  - New partial translation for Afrikaans (af).

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.
