    + Crash on startup (Closes: #502337).
    + sqlitedb appears to have been corrupted (Closes: #497504).
  * debian/control:
     + Don't use duplicate package descriptions (lintian).
     + Add ${misc:Depends} to all binary packages (lintian).
     + Drop no longer needed dependencies on imagemagick and chrpath.
     + Make 'python-psyco' a Recommends instead of Suggests as it allows
       for potential application speed-ups.
     + Suggests: python-notify (optional).
     + Add Conflicts with miro-data (<< 1.2.1) (see Ubuntu LP #296175), as
       the miro.desktop file moved from miro-data to the miro package there.
     + Turn all gstreamer-related dependencies into Suggests for now, in order
       to make a smaller Miro install possible (e.g. on netbooks, where disk
       space is often a scarce resource). Xine is still the default renderer
       in the Debian package, so the xine libs are a requirement. If you want
       to use gstreamer instead, you have to install the Suggests packages.
       There's documentation in README.Debian for that.
     + While we're at it, add gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad and also
       gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly as Suggests.
  * debian/rules:
     + Invoke dh_desktop as we install a *.dektop file (lintian).
     + Clear DEB_PYTHON_CLEAN_ARGS, as Miro's setup.py doesn't know about
       the default argument '-a', which cdbs tries to use upon 'clean'.
     + Update list of files to remove in the 'clean' target.
     + Install README.gtk-x11 and README.cli documentation files.
  * debian/README.Debian:
     + Add hints on how to use gdb with 'miro --debug' for debugging.
     + Add HOWTO for installing gstreamer stuff if you want to switch the
       renderer from xine to gstreamer.
     + Drop obsolete items.

miro (1.2.8-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add build dependencies on a base set of gstreamer plugins, so that
    users who want to use gstreamer instead of xine can safely do so:
    gstreamer0.10-plugins-base, gstreamer0.10-plugins-good, gstreamer0.10-x,
    gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg.
  * Disable the "xine hack" in Miro. This has been identified to fix a
    reproducible segfault after a video ends (Closes: #512719).
    Please report if disabling the "xine hack" causes any problems.
    An alternative fix seems to be to switch to gstreamer as backend in
    Miro's options dialog (and restart Miro).
  * Closing unreproducible bugs. Please reopen if you can reproduce the
    problem with the latest version.
     + miro: freezes after startup (Closes: #498682).
