Rygel 0.13.0 (Dog With Two Bones) is out!

Many of the commits in this release already have been released in one of
our stable 0.12.x versions. A list of all changes that already were released
is available in the stable branch's NEWS file:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/rygel/tree/NEWS?h=RYGEL_0_12_5

Changes compared to 0.12.5:

- Use context-less API from gupnp-0.18.
- Switch to .xz tarballs as default.
- Get rid of a nested MainLoop in HTTP POST handling that caused a lot of
  trouble with vala's async support.
- Refactor ClientHacks into a generic part and XBox support.
- Add a hack for Panasonic TVs that can only handle PNG thumbnails if you
  tell them they're JPEG.
- Always build and run tests when using autogen.sh.
- Write uploaded data to a temporary hidden file first and move to real file
  later, helping file monitors to only create a single event.
- Add a 128x128 version of the icon.
- Move the 48x48 JPEG icon and 120x120 icons necessary for DLNA out of the
  icon theme.
- Drop XML comments from the content description files which might cause
  issues in IOP.
- Stabilize the error handling in HTTP POST.

- Only pass -g to valac when --enable-debug was passed.
- More robust transcoding on faulty input.
- Clean-up and refactor audio- and video-transcoders.
- Clean-up RTP depayloader guessing.
- Fix deadlock on Ctrl-C.
- Fix a crash on filesystem error while uploading.

- MediaExport:
  - Refactor and clean QueryContainer.
  - Use proper UPnP classes like object.container.album.musicAlbum for virtual
    folders.
  - Support audio-less videos.

- Mediathek:
  - Set proper DLNA profile on the WMV streams.

- Playbin:
  - Add support for image/jpeg and image/png.

- Tracker:
  - Fix querybuilder for graphed statements.

    for an uploaded file.

What is Rygel?

Rygel is a home media solution that allows you to easily share audio, video and
pictures, and control of media player on your home network. In technical terms
it is both a UPnP AV MediaServer and MediaRenderer implemented through a plug-in
mechanism. Interoperability with other devices in the market is achieved by
conformance to very strict requirements of DLNA and on the fly conversion of
media to format that client devices are capable of handling.
