 NEW AWESOME FEATURES AND ENHANCEMENTS
 ===============================================================================
 
-    Banshee 1.8 is a stable release, the culmination of six month's work by 67
-    programmers, artists, documentation writers, and translators.  These
-    notes aggregate the highlights from the 1.7 development releases.
+    Banshee 1.9.0 is a development release, the first of the 1.9.x series
+    leading up to Banshee 2.0.
 
-    New Features Since 1.6:
+    New Features Since 1.8.0:
 
-      * Integrated AmazonMP3 Store
+      * Artist/Album Browser Track Actions
 
-            Browse, search, preview, buy, and download music straight into
-            your Banshee library from the US, UK, FR, DE, and JP AmazonMP3
-            stores.  See http://abock.org/2010/07/13/amazon-mp3-store-in-banshee
+            Track actions (play, queue, remove, delete, edit, properties)
+            now work for the artist and album browser too!  Right click an
+            artist or album to act on it, or click an album and press 'q' to
+            queue it.
 
-      * Miro Guide Podcast Directory
+      * 'Play After' Queue Options
 
-            Browse and subscribe to thousands of audio and video podcasts
-            listed on the non-profit run MiroGuide.com.
+            Want to listen to a track, album, or artist right after the playing
+            track, album, or artist?  The 'Play After' option will insert it
+            into the queue to make it happen.
 
-      * Improved Apple Device Support
+      * User Interface Improvements
 
-            iPhone, iTouch, iPad, and iPod devices are now supported via the
-            awesome libgpod library.
+            We have made several changes toward a cleaner and more usable UI.
+            We got rid of the active source's title bar.  Search is now beside
+            the volume button.  The source list has smaller icons, hidden
+            counts for the libraries, and named group-separators.  The seek
+            slider and search entry are resizable via their grips.
 
-      * Revamped Hardware Backend
-
-            Uses the latest Linux hardware stack, a combination of GIO, udev, and
-            media-player-info files, to provide support for CDs and
-            digital audio players.
-
-      * Keybinding for Switching Sources
-
-          Typing 'g' activates the source switcher, where you can type the name
-          of a source to switch to it.  You can type its acronym or a substring
-          as well. As soon as only one source matches, it will be activated.
-          For example, you can type 'g' and then 'np' to switch to Now Playing.
-
-      * Improved Audiobook Support
-
-          The Audiobooks library is now enabled by default, and audiobook
-          tracks are now better organized into books.  The last position in
-          each book is automatically saved, so you can resume playing a book
-          right from where you stopped.
-
-      * User Manual
-
-            Available via Help » Contents menu and F1.  Uses the latest
-            GNOME documentation technology, Mallard.
-
-      * Bulk Metadata Fixer
-
-            New extension for bulk metadata fixing to merge artists, albums,
-            and genres that vary only by case, '&' vs 'and', etc.
-
-      * MPRIS v2 support (Ubuntu Sound Menu, etc)
+            Podcasts episodes are now shown in a grid, with several lines of
+            description shown to help you find an appealing episode to enjoy.
