Plugin installation now uses UTF-8 encoding for everything to prevent
encoding issues.
MetaObject compliation will now reliably pick the correct interface API
version to build against preventing features being unavailable or unused.
* Backing for the new MediaController subtitle API.
Bug Fixes
* Resolved non-reentrant PulseAudio envrionment setup.
* Disc playback (AudioCD/DVD/...) is now working correctly with more than
one physical device.
* Prevent reading from deleted StreamReaders.
* Removed performance penalty caused by debug code even when debug was
disabled.
* Installed icons now have the correct pixel size.
* VolumeFaderEffect can now internally abort fades when necessary.
* Removed various minor memory leaks.
* The logic behind the aboutToFinish signal has been revised. The signal
will now only produce gapless transitions if GStreamer issued a callback
more than 500 msec before the end of the current source. This prevents
dead locks with short sources (e.g. notifications) but also prevents the
queue mechanic from working when using short sources or sources of which
the totalTime can not be identified (e.g. streams). It is advised that
all applications make sure they handle the finished signal in addition
to aboutToFinish to ensure that playback does not stop without user
instruction.
to address issues with NetBSD-6(and earlier)'s fontconfig not being
new enough for pango.
While doing that, also bump freetype2 dependency to current pkgsrc
version.
