-Banshee 2.9.0 - 2013-10-08
+Banshee 2.9.1 - 2014-03-18
 ===============================================================================
 
-    Banshee 2.9.0 is the culmination of twelve months' work by 19 developers,
-    27 translators and dozens of bug reporters and testers. It is a development
-    release, the first of the 2.9.x releases leading up to our future stable
+    Banshee 2.9.1 is the culmination of five months' work by 17 developers,
+    21 translators and dozens of bug reporters and testers. It is a development
+    release, the second of the 2.9.x releases leading up to our future stable
     release Banshee 3.0.
 
     New Features:
 
-      * GTK3
+      * GStreamer 1.x compatibility
 
-            This is the first release using the 3.x version of GTK+, thanks
-            to work that has been done in Gtk# to bind this version.
+            This is the first official upstream release compatible with versions of
+            GStreamer 1.0 or newer.
 
-      * Device synchronization for Symbian
+      * Production-ready GStreamerSharp playback-engine backend, now default
 
-            Banshee can now sync media to Symbian devices like Nokia N95. Please
-            help testing this new feature so we can mention more Symbian devices
-            in our release notes for Banshee 3!
+            Our managed backend (that already allowed us to have playback working
+            in the Windows platform) has been migrated to work with the revamped
+            GStreamerSharp bindings (GObject-Introspection based, and capable of
+            binding GStreamer 1.0 or newer) and is now the default one for all
+            platforms.
+
+            This paves the way to finish the long-standing goal of completely
+            removing lower-level languages like C from our codebase, to lower
+            the barrier of entry to new contributors, reduce complexity and
+            increase stability.
+
+            You can still use the optional unmanaged GStreamer backend, but
+            before doing so we encourage you to provide us any feedback that
+            you may have about the managed one (reporting bugs or writing to
+            our forums or mailing lists), because we will deprecate this one
+            very soon.
+
+      * New "MediaPanel" UI, formerly called "MeeGo MediaPanel"
+
+            The MeeGo specific UI has been now been renamed to MediaPanel and
+            you can use it in your desktop environment now, just by clicking
+            in the Media Panel option under the View menu (this extension is
+            now enabled by default).
 
 
     Enhancements:
 
-      * Add basic AppData file for inclusion in open source app stores
-      * Add keywords to .desktop entry for easy find in Unity & GNOME Shell (bgo#700524)

-      * Lastfm: avoid unnecessary wait when submitting successful scrobbles
-      * DatabaseImportManager: Add .amr to import whitelist
-      * PlayerEngine: Add support for accurate seek
-      * GSettings: implement new, still unused, SchemaExtractor for GSettings
-      * build: use the gui-thread-check profiler module by default when debugging
-      * configure: better guess for the C# compiler available
-      * AppleDeviceSource: use progressUpdaters for all sync operations
