* support for xine OSD added
* kaffeine now auto-switches to player-tab if source contains video
* all data now stored in ~/.kde/share/apps/kaffeine; ~./kaffeine no longer used

- New GUI design:
 * Kaffeine is now a shell/part application and can use every player part
(e.g.: kplayer, kaboodle) for playback, currently only the xine based
kaffeine part is full supported.
Note for developers: To create a part full supported by Kaffeine you have to
derive your part from the KMediaPart class (see
KDE_INLUDE_DIR/kaffeine/kmediapart.h) instead of KParts::ReadOnlyPart.
 * One (tabbed) window interface contains player, playlist and maybe more in
the future
 * Interface follows now common KDE standards: XML UI structure, toolbars,
statusbar
 * All player/xine related stuff moved into the Kaffeine Part

- Big code cleanup done:
 * In accordance with KDE coding guidelines
 * A lot of code completely rewritten
 * Simplified xine API wrapper class (kxinewidget.cpp); can simple be used
for every KDE applications and plain QT applications too

crashes anymore

mode; middle-click makes toolbars visible; fullscreen-panel removed

also visible over empty space
 * Playlist remembers last played track
 * Non-local playlists (m3u, pls, asx, etc) are now only parsed immediately
before playing; included URLs now longer shown in playlist, because they can
change from time to time; if playback of first entry fails, Kaffeine tries
the next without any error message
 * URL encoding fix: Kaffeine passes now the plain URL (without any encoding)
to the player; fixes problems with xine's VCD plugin, special characters
like "?" and " @" in local files and password proctected hosts
 * Simplified DCOP interface: see kaffeineiface.h
 * Completely disabled session management: got a lot of problem reports
 * Transparent "OSD" removed: there is now a new popup beside the system tray
instead

playlist (patch by patch by Gustavo Pichorim Boiko <gustavo.boiko@kdemail.net>)
 * removed all stuff deprecated in kde 3.2

- Kaffeine Part:
 * New features: mute, fast forward, slow motion
 * Full network transparency: if given protocol not supported by xine, we try
to download the source to a temorary file; you can now e.g. simple drop
items from a tar archive into the playlist

 * xine Engine Parameter dialog simplified: only most important parameters
shown; "Expert Options" button added
 * Modal dialogs no longer created on startup; decreases starttime

 * Audio volume (amplification) fix: removed distortion if user drags slider
over 50%
 * Counter fixed: goes now from 0:59...1:00 :-)
 * Rudimentary SMIL support: simple reads out contained video sources (video
tags),  and completely ignore all layout hints and time marks
 * Equalizer removed for the moment: was not satisfied with the quality...
 * Embedded in a konqueror frame: full given space is now used for video
window; playback control via right-click context menu
 * Support for xine's audio post filters added (patch by Miguel Freitas <mfreitas@gmail.com>);
   you can now try out the new 2->5.1 upmix plugin and the cool stretch plugin (with pitch preservation)
