[Charles Hallenbeck]

The release announcement summarized the change.log and mentioned in 
several places "bug fixes all over the place", although most of the 
improvements seemed to be with respect to video performance, and 
improvements to the "mencoder" application. The fact is, mplayer is a 
dynamic product with very active development, and it would be a mistake 
to continue using a version with known bugs when one has a choice.
