 NEW AWESOME FEATURES AND ENHANCEMENTS
 ===============================================================================
 
-    Banshee 1.5.5 is mostly a bug fix release, with a few enhancements.  This
-    release marks the start of our string freeze in preparation for 1.6.
-
-    New Features:
-
-      * Gapless Playback / Playbin2
-
-          Banshee now uses the playbin2 GStreamer element.  With this comes
-          support for gapless playback, which is the default now for users
-          with GStreamer > 0.10.25.2.
-
-      * Grid View
-
-          We are debuting a new grid mode for our custom list widget, visible
-          in the modified Album browser.  It will be used for Videos,
-          Audiobooks, and more in future releases.
-
-      * YouTube Extension
-
-          This extension shows YouTube videos in the Context Pane related to
-          what you're playing, and lets you watch them within Banshee.  You
-          can enable it in the Extensions tab of the Preferences dialog.
-
-    Enhancements:
-
-      * Improve search responsiveness on large libraries
-      * Add icons for Nexus One and Audiobooks
-      * Play Queue item count, size, duration now ignores old tracks
-      * Muinshee fixes: disable Auto-DJ, allow reordering, hide previous song
