xine arts contest prolonged - and some new releases...

Merry Christmas to all xine users!

There are 2 big news items regarding the xine project:

First of all, the xine arts contest has been prolonged. So if you wanted
to create a logo, some skin, a trailer, or whatever piece of artwork
you're good in: You have another chance.

The new deadline is: January 18th, 2003.

New submissions (via email to me, or to the xine-user mailing list) will
be added to the voting pages (http://xinehq.de/polls) on a first
come-first served basis.

The voting period will finally end on January 25th, 2003.

There are still those exclusive prizes to win: A xine T-shirt, a xine
coffee mug and 3 xine postcards, all hand-signed and with personal
dedication from G=FCnter.
And of course,you will earn your place in the xine galleries.


The other news item is about new releases:

Currently, we have xine-lib 1-beta1, which is definitely one of the last
prereleases before xine-lib 1.0. This release includes experimental
support for QuickTime and Windows Media binary codecs, and lots of bug
fixes.
On the front-end side, we have xine-ui 0.9.16, which comes with some
usability improvements, as well as another bunch of bugfixes.
Both can be downloaded from our new download page at

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

A new release of gxine (0.2.1) is already in preparation and will be
available from the download page soon.

So once again:

Merry Xmas,
