Version 0.1.10 (Pre3 07 August 2003)
------------------------------------
	Thanks a lot to Erik Hanson (erik@cpuhookup.com), he helped me a lot on this
	   version (he wrote most of the new functions for the internet search 
	   script)
	SmartSearch : for audio streams and file without album info, a script try to
	   guess the info (using freedb and co)... This info is stored for future
	   use.
	Add info prediction from filename (when no tags available)
	Create some lockfile (in coverdir) to avoid looking 1000 times for the same 
	   file over and over. If no file is found, try advanced search...
	Multisearch finished : you can choose to get covers from ALL sites available, 
	   or stop after the first found.
	The program waits that all covers are downloaded before displaying anything
	Rearrange configuration window
	Created a script for Cdcover.nl and for Amazon.fr
	Add a test on covers : only valid images are loaded
	Resize/move function enhanced, enabled in noskin mode
	Windows now snaps to xmms windows
	Add a show/hide xmms in right-button menu
	Fixed a bug preventing compilation on Suse
	Another bug correction in id3v2 tag. I hate them
Version 0.1.9 (26 June 2003)
----------------------------
   New script for internet search (now using darkcover.com to get front and back covers,
      and if unsuccessfull, go to amazon after that) (Thanks to DarkRay for his script)
   Amazon script repaired
   Enable images from id3tag (only id3v2.3+)
   Cdaudio info are now read from xmms savefile (using cdaudio plugin), so you can also 
      have covers with audio cds!
   Bugs correction in tag reading causing crashes

Version 0.1.8 (31 May 2003)
---------------------------
   Add a slidebar to configure duration of slideshows. (from 100ms to 10sec)
   Some bugs corrected in tag-reading and when playing from audio cds (mostly to prevent 
      crashes, not for improvement).
   Improvement in netsearch (title with "'" like "K's Choice" will work better now)
   Default image directory (for netsearch) is now ~/.covers (instead of ~/covers)
   Change default font, the one selected wasn't found on every distrib (hope this one is
      general enough)

Version 0.1.7 (17 May 2003)
---------------------------
   Small bugs corrected in title rendering and netsearch
   Default image and skin are no longer stored in archive but in ($datadir/coverviewer,
     where $datadir is by default /usr/share)
   "script.py" is autoinstalled in the same directory (No more copy is needed in image
     directory) You can also use another one, by selecting it from configuration
     window (name doesn't matter, It just need to be executable and do the correct job)
   ~/covers is autocreated if needed
   Temporary directory is now purged at exit

Version 0.1.6 (09 May 2003)
---------------------------
   Debug in tag reading (ogg,id3)
   Prevent some crashes (tag-reading related)
   Internet retrieve asynchronous, so XMMS no longer freezes
   Add a "Title/NoTitle" option
   Internet retrieve on demand from right-click menu (for users like
     me who don't want to have internet retrieve always on, but may be
     interested time to time)
   Default skin and image are now stocked as png instead of xpm (to save
     some space)

Version 0.1.5 (22 April 2003)
-----------------------------
   Support for id3v2 tags
   Support for tagged Flac (id3/oggtag)
   Images can now be searched in a general directory (f.e. "~/covers/"),
     and are searched on base on artist/album
   Auto-retrieve cover from internet (Sample script in python, using amazon.com)

Version 0.1.4 (01 April 2003)
-----------------------------

   Fullscreen mode
   Right-click menu for control (Play/Pause, Next,Skin...)

-----------------------------
   First source release!
   Display code is now rewritten

   Less bug in title display

Version 0.1.1 (13 March 2003)
-----------------------------
   A few options in configuration screen.
   Possibility to keep (or not) ratio of images.
   When slideshow is on, if you click on the image, it will make a pause.
   When slideshow is off, cliking on the image will make you cycle through
     the images of the directory.
   Start rewriting of display code...
   Oggtags directly read from files (no longer use Libvorbis)

Version 0.1.0 (10 March 2003)
-----------------------------
   Not much options! The configuration screen is not finished.
   The plugin just support slideshow... Nothing else!

February-March 2003:
--------------------
   I start working on the plugin, since nobody have done this for Linux :-(
   The program is very unstable, but progress steadily!
