Hello, everybody!

After two years of intense testing and continuous improvement, the xine
development team proudly presents the final xine-lib 1.0 release.

Compared with the latest release candidate, there are not many changes
(see below for complete ChangeLog). However, a security issue regarding
the AIFF demuxer (CAN-2004-1300) is fixed, as well as some issues that
might have appeared with the way the Xv plugin has been linked in 1-rc8.
Therefore, upgrading to 1.0 is strongly recommended.

As usual, you can download the release from:

   http://xinehq.de/index.php/releases

The MD5 sum of this release is:
96e5195c366064e7778af44c3e71f43a  xine-lib-1.0.tar.gz


Seasons Greetings on behalf of the xine team,

	Daniel & Siggi
