Quod Libet 2.0

[joe.wr...@gmail.com]

Quod Libet 2.0 is the first release in the Quod Libet 2 branch, which
includes many improvements to the architecture of Quod Libet, as well
as a new distutils-based build and test system to ease frequent
releases.

Quod Libet 2 undoubtedly contains many bugs and regressions,
especially in performance and threading code. Most of those systems
date back to earlier versions of GTK+ and GStreamer and things have
subtly changed. Please use the new issue tracker at
http://code.google.com/p/quodlibet/issues/list to report any problems
you find and post patches for existing problems. There is a new dialog
that will pop up with a file to submit along with your bug report, if
you find a crash.

New releases in the 2.x branch will come as necessary, depending on
how many bugs are found and which

Operating system distributors, please update your packages as soon as
possible. Although Quod Libet 2.0 may have regressions in unknown
areas, it does fix many problems commonly reported to distributions'
bug trackers. It will also help us find these unknown regressions
faster.
