Quite a lot has happened to this since the last release. The relevant
portion of the NEWS file is below. 

   Add texinfo/html documenation for Video CD plugin.

   Bug fixes (including the ones listed in 1-beta9).
   configure allows disabling either the CD-DA or Video CD plugin from
   building. 

   Now requires libcdio and cdio-enhanced vcdimager. The previous modified
   vcdimager has been removed from this distribution and will not build
   without it.

   A slash has been removed from MRL's to match other xine plugins. So
   vcdx:// is now vcdx:/

   A enhanced CD-DA plugin has been included (which also uses
   libcdio).  For CDDB access you need libcddb. CD-DA improvements over
   default xine-lib plugin:

   MRL handling: 
     -  Can specify device as well as track.
     -  Because we use the libcdio library, the "device" can be a disk image
        to be burned (e.g. a cdrdao bin/cue pair and some primitive Nero
       support)

   Features:
     -  Can customize the title display and meta-info comment field.
     -  Customize whether or not to use HTTP proxy for CDDB.
     -  Dynamic debugging
     -  Ability to get a "directory" list of the tracks on the CD
     -  Can view CD as one large unit (composed of tracks) or
        as individual tracks.

   modified for xine-lib API number 12 and 13 (works with
   xine-lib-1-beta11 and up)


The 3 source gzipped tar files associated with this are stored at in
the libcdio project on GNU's Savannah under the "Compact Disc Input
and Control Library" project here:
