Audacious 1.4.1 (2007-11-??)

Enhancements:
* The skin code has been tweaked a little to fix loading of
  more substandard winamp skins.
  (http://boards.nenolod.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=859)
* Playlists now carry an atomic serial number in order to avoid
  unnecessary reloading of metadata.
* The command names used by audtool have been sanitized in order
  to make some leve of sense.
* Add many new calls to libaudclient which were unimplemented after
  DBus transition.

Bugfixes:
* [Bugzilla #53]: UTF-8 validation gives false positives
  (Reported by Kosma Moczek; Fixed by Yoshiki Yazawa)
* [Bugzilla #20]: status icon plugin breaks the 'always on top' feature
  (Reported by Dorian Scholz; Fixed by Tomasz Moń)
* playback_get_length() was returning the typecode of FIELD_LENGTH, not
  it's value (Fixed by Yoshiki Yazawa)
* audctrl.h was dependent on #ifdef __cplusplus being a valid macro,
  now we use G_BEGIN_DECLS/G_END_DECLS to handle that.

Audacious 1.4.0 (2007-11-01)

* Everything ;)

Audacious 1.3.0 (2007-03-02)

Enhancements
* The playlist code has been rewritten using conditional variables, 
  which has resulted in speed improvements for the playlist code overall.
* The behaviour for detecting filemagic has been redone and is now more
  scalable.
* DoubleSize support has been improved significantly.
* Race conditions in produce_audio() have been corrected.
* The playlist editor is now properly drawn in shaded mode.
* g_utf8_validate has been replaced with a more strict utf8 validator, 
  which solves the encapsulated UTF-8 phenomenon properly.
* The controlsocket code no longer uses the stack in an improper manner.
* Behaviour regarding conversion of %20 in the playlist has been corrected.
* Window decorations can now be enabled in preferences.
* The translation templates have been simplified.
* Support for translating plugins has been re-added.
* The Jump-to-File code has been rewritten and now searches using 
  regular expressions. In addition, the search is done without GTK 
  queueing redraws for each entry, which has resulted in interface 
  speedups.
* The overall UI code has been reworked significantly and should be of 
  better quality. Notable enhancements include support for UIManager xml
  file declarations.
* A facility for searching and selecting/acting upon entries in the 
  playlist has been added.
* Support for multiple playlists has been added, and a playlist manager 
  has been added to manage them.
* Audacious now uses libmcs to store it's settings, which allows for 
  tighter desktop environment integration.
* Audacious now supports the XDG BASEDIR standard.
* A lot of XMMS and BMP code has been either removed or rewritten so 
  that it is less confusing. This should allow for easier maintainability 
  in the future.
* Debugging tools have been added for tracking memory allocation and freeing.
* A safe signaling implementation has been added.
* A voiceprint visualizer mode has been added.
* Support for changing the tint in the graphics of skins has been added.
* InputPlugins now use an InputPlayback context to track activity 
  instead of blindly pushing data down a potentially undefined pipeline.
* Audacious now uses GOption to parse the commandline.

Bugfixes:
* Too many to count.
