 Features of this release
     
-      * Improve the byte-reader API
-      * GObject introspection support
-      * Improve clock accuracy on win32
-      * Optimisations in capabilities checking
-      * Optimisations and fixes in the basetransform base class
-      * new 64-bit scaling utility function variants
-      * Various bug-fixes and improvements (see ChangeLog and bugs list below)
+      * Threadsafe design and API
+      * registry: do plugin scanning (on *nix) using an external helper binary
+      * lots of performance improvements all over the place (ghostpads,
+        multiqueue, pad construction, superfluous type checks, registry loading)
+      * add GstByteWriter, a simple generic byte writer
+      * filesink: Use _wfopen on win32 to open files with non-ascii filenames correctly.
+      * queue2: add option to remove the temp-file (enabled by default)
+      * it is now allowed to use gst_caps_set_simple() on non-simple caps
+      * queue2: move from gst-plugins-base into the coreelements plugin in core
+        (this means you may need to remove libgstqueue2.so manually if you
+        installed from source and don't do make uninstall before upgrading, or
+        combine an older -base with a newer core)
+      * multiqueue: add support for buffering mode where we post BUFFERING
+        messages based on the level of the queues
+      * typefind: speed up typefinding a lot by first trying the typefinder for
+        the file's extension
+      * buffer: remove private/internal subbuffer subclass and keep track of
+        the parent buffer directly in the GstBuffer structure (this removes
+        quite a bit of special-casing and will allow for future improvements/
+        extensions that are harder to do if there's a separate subbuffer class.
+      * collectpads: add ability to install clipping functions
+      * new tags for TV/Radio shows/episodes, lyrics, composer sortname and
+        grouping
+      * miniobject: avoid race when recycling buffers
+      * basesrc: fix race in PLAYING->PAUSED->PLAYING
