Rygel 0.7.4 (Look at the Princess)

Rygel 0.7.4 (Look at the Princess) released!

A new release in the current unstable 0.7.x series for upcoming GNOME 2.32.0
release.

- Fix wildcard handling in search request.
- Distribute correct copy of scallable icons.
- Provide icons in DLNA standard sizes.
- Provide icons in JPEG format as well.
- Don't offer transcoding from video to audio and viceversa. This makes sense
  anyway and reduces network traffic.

- Report correct DLNA profile for MPEG-TS HD and WMV transcoder.
- List DLNA formats first in the list of supported formats.
- Provide correct values for out parameters of GetCurrentConnectionInfo action.

  resources bigger than 2GB.

- Correctly handle a translated string involving plurals.
- Don't use deprecated libsoup API.

- Use the mime-type and DLNA profile when provided in item creation requests.
- Advertize byte-seek support for thumbnails.
- Correct algorithm to decide whether to seek or not.

  might actually improve our IOP.

  formats (MediaServer only).
- Add support for the "Genre" tag in music items.
- External:
  - Handle AlbumArt property.

  - Print debug after item creation in store.

  - Disable plugin when Tracker plugin is/becomes available.
  - Require sqlite3 VAPI only for this plugin.

  - Extract embedded album art
  - Remove the ability for user-defined virtual folders, providing a set of
    built-in folders similar to that of tracker's.
  - Fix some minor regressions introduced by the switch to gupnp-dlna metadata
    extraction
  - Move configured files and folders into their own "Files & Folders" container
    to de-clutter root.
