 Features of this release
     
-      * Add per-stream volume controls
-      * Theora 1.0 and Y444 and Y42B format support
-      * Improve audio capture timing
-      * GObject introspection support
-      * Improve audio output startup

-      * Allow cdda://(device#)?track URI scheme in cddabasesrc
-      * Support interlaced content in videoscale and ffmpegcolorspacee
-      * Many other bug fixes and improvements
+      * Parallel installability with 0.8.x series
+      * Threadsafe design and API
+      * playbin2: make about-to-finish signal work for raw sources (e.g. audio CDs)
+      * playbin2: fix handling of the native audio/video flags
+      * playbin2: add flag to enable decodebin buffering
+      * playbin2: make subtitle error handling more robust and ignore late errors
+      * playbin2: improve subtitle passthrough in uridecodebin
+      * playbin2: new subtitleoverlay element for generic subtitle overlaying
+      * playbin2: proxy notify::volume and notify::mute from the volume/mute
+                elements (or audio sink)
+      * playbin2: don't stop completely on initialization errors from subtitle
+                elements; instead disable the subtitles and play the other
+                parts of the stream
+      * decodebin2: rewrite autoplugging and how groups of pads are exposed
+      * uridecodebin: add use-buffering property that will perform buffering on
+                parsed or demuxed media.
+      * GstXOverlay: flesh out docs and add example for use with Gtk+ >= 2.18
+      * libgsttag: add utility functions for ISO-639 language codes and tags
+      * oggdemux: use internal granulepos<->timestamp mapper and make oggdemux
+                more like a 'normal' demuxer that outputs timestamps
+      * oggdemux: seeking improvements
+      * subparse: add qttext support
+      * ffmpegcolorspace: prefer transforming alpha formats to alpha formats
+                and the other way around
+      * libgstvideo: add functions to create/parse still frame events.
+      * theoraenc: make the default quality property 48.
+      * videotestsrc: add pattern with out-of-gamut colors
+      * theora: port to 'new' theora 1.0 API; make misc. existing properties
+                have no effect (quick, keyframe-mindistance, noise-sensitivity,
+                sharpness, keyframe_threshold); those either never worked or
+                aren't needed/provided/useful any longer with the newer API
+      * typefinding: misc. performance improvements and fixes
+      * baseaudiosink: make drift tolerance configurable
