0.9.2 DrPong

0.9.2 is a maintenance release without any intended major changes.

Configuration changes:

• New --disable-valgrind option was added. Sometimes installed system
  valgrind is not capable of tracing binaries. This option disables
  use of valgrind without the need to uninstall it.

• Updated waf bundle up to 2.0.25 version.

Bug fixes:

• The flac plugin was fixed to work with flac-1.4.0 decoder library.
  Before the fix some FLAC files were never finished decoding.

• The libvisual client render loop was extended to handle stopped
  playback thanks to Sebastian Pipping.

• The visualization client library now correctly detects shared memory
  support on linux. In xmms2-0.9.1 client always fell back to UDP.

• The visualization server side now opens both IPv4 and IPv6 UDP sockets
  if both are available. Previous versions sometimes opened IPv4-only or
  IPv6-only socket. Sometimes that did not match defaults from client
  side and visualization client did not work at all.

0.9.1 DrPong

11 years since previous xmms2 release. The diff accumulated 600 commits since last release.

So many things have changed outside xmms2!

This release catches up on a few things it ought to do a while ago:

• python2 was deprecated
• ffmpeg had about infinite amount of releases and API changes
• waf was refreshed
• hundreds of bugs were fixed
• and so many more things were improved

Please give it a try!
