xine-lib 1-rc5 released

Hi all,

The latest version of xine-lib, 1-rc5, is now available for download. 

xine-lib 1-rc5 contains important fixes from our previous release,
most notably compilation fixes for AMD64 plataform, fixed downloading
of reference files (asx, rm, etc) with HTTP, some crashes with win32
DLLs and playback issues of some MPEG streams. There are cool new
features as well, like the surround 5.1 upmix plugin and MacOS X
support.

As usual, you can download from

The MD5 sum of this release is:

I'd like to thank all xine-lib contributors and and front end
developers. There are new  applications being developed everyday using
xine engine for powering their multimedia capabilities (including CD
rippers, DVD authoring systems and more). We can only say we are doing
our best to improve xine. Soon we will announce new Quality Assurance
initiatives. Stay tunned!

Miguel
