This is the fourth public release of new transcode branch
aimed to be released as stable (hopefully) before the summer (yes, this
is a more realistic schedule ;) ).
Moreover, this is expected to be the last alpha release.
Focus is now moving on less-than-critical fixes and documentation.

Code quality is still alpha, neverthless this release is recomendded
for every experienced and/or brave user out there. Please help us
in improve transcode and in make this release the better transcode
release ever!

If you was already using a CVS HEAD snapshot, or any former alpha release,
you are *encouraged* to upgrade to this release, since we're in stabilizing
phase and we add only fixes and stabilization patches.
Otherwise, I'll suggest to start tracking transcode_1_1 branch :)

Full Terse ChangeLog (since 1.0.0) is on writing phase since it is
pretty damn long. Only Inter-Changelog is avalaible yet:

Terse ChangeLog follows (since alpha 6):

transcode 1.1.0-alpha7 (20080201):
----------------------------------
- properly initialize superindex chunk: this avoid segfault
  at close with OpenDML files.
- OSS v4 API resync.
- use pkg-config whenever feasible in configure.
- more encoder/framebuffer tweaks and fixes.
- a bunch of fixes for --multi_input (was: --directory_mode) mode.
- made import_im and import_ffmpeg work in --multi_input mode.
- automatic colorspace conversion for import_avi.
- support x264 constant quality mode (backport from HEAD).
- NUV code fixes (backport from HEAD).

this release is expected to build cleanly on i386 and amd64.

Best regards,
