   * allowing to delete recordings from within a UPnP client, when enabled on the backend
   * will export EPG data and allow scheduling via UPnP in the future
 * client device and service implementations for BinaryLight and DimmableLight devices
 * rework of the D-Bus support
   * should now be usable from other languages (C,Perl,..) too
   * support for activating/deactivation a backend via D-Bus, allowing for instance to start a MediaServer backend via D-Bus
 * a plugin for Totem (http://www.gnome.org/projects/totem/)
   * enabling Totem to detect and browse UPnP A/V MediaServers
   * using only D-Bus to communicate with a Coherence instance
 * a basic reusable PyGTK based UPnP A/V ControlPoint widget, used in the Totem plugin
 * rework (again) of the XBox 360 support - getting closer

 * rework of the XBox 360 support
 * refinements and improvements on the client side API, incorporating things we learned on extending the Rhythmbox UPnP plugin

        COHERENCE_DEBUG=*:2,ssdp:4 WARNING level messages from all modules,
                                           plus debug level for the ssdp module
