What's New?
===========

Release notes with accompanying screenshots are available at: http://gnome-subtitles.sf.net/gnome-subtitles-release-0.2 . Its summary follows.
At last, video subtitling with built-in previewing is a reality for 
GNOME users. After a long development cycle, a first version of video 
previewing is now available. MPlayer was used as the backend and must be 
installed in order for playback to work. MPlayer was chosen because it 
supports most of the existing video files, although its integration with 
other applications has its limits and as such GStreamer and Xine 
integration are planned for the future.
Adjusting existing subtitles and creating new subtitles from scratch are 
now simpler tasks, as it's possible to set the subtitle timings based on 
the video position. The File Open dialog was also improved, allowing to 
select video files. Entering a folder automatically populates the list 
of video files with the videos in that dir. A video file is 
automatically selected if it matches the selected subtitle file. This 
allows to easily open a subtitle file together with its video file. File 
type filters were also added.
The whole project had a major refactoring, which resulted in much more 
manageable code. The Main window is now a Gtk.Window instead of a 
Gnome.App, making the Gnome-sharp dependency being now used in very few 
things. Widget names were reviewed and renamed, and every dialog and 
window is now in a separate glade file.
Bug fixes include:
* App crashes when selection float value with , as a decimal separator (#402201)
Finally, many thanks to Stefan A. Keel (Sak), who once again provided 
with great artwork for the new icons, being of great help to the project.
