ANNOUNCE: Gnome Subtitles 1.0

[Pedro Castro <mail pedrocastro org>]

I'm very pleased to announce the immediate availability of Gnome
Subtitles 1.0. This release is the result of all development effort
carried on till now, into stable release. Besides the stabilization
effort, this release delivers the following features:
- Added drag-and-drop support for loading subtitle and video files
- Allow to set new options in the preferences:
  * Whether to save the translation when saving subtitles
  * Default and fallback character codings for opening files
  * Default subtitle format, character coding and newline type for saving files
  * Allow to remember the last used settings
- Fixed timings synchronization issue when "Sync All Subtitles" was used
- Activating (double-clicking) a sync point in the synchronization
dialog now selects the corresponding subtitle and seeks the video to
its position

Other features include:
- Allow to edit spinbutton's time text up to millisecond precision
- Wrap the subtitle text to fit the video area
- Changed the default newline type to Windows (CR+LF) to improve
compatibility with other platforms (including external video players)
- Fixed support for video filenames with special characters
- Fixed bug with the title bar showing the previously loaded file
- Fixed bug with the timings "seek to" dialog not reflecting timing mode changes
- Fixed use of LDADD when building
- Use libtool to produce shared libraries

This release features translations added or updated by:
