Feb 22, 2013: Release 0.5.2
===========================
Removed features:
o Browser plugin is deleted, since it was unmaintained.
Recommend that people use a pure HTML5 impl like noVNC
to avoid security problems inherant in native plugins.
Bug fixes:
o Misc fixes to RPM specfiles
o Update translations
o Fix big-endian support in cairo framebuffer
o Avoid out of bounds accessing arrays
o Fix win32 quote key mapping
o Fix NULL dereference in logging code
o Fix OOM check in python bindings
o Avoid array overrun in colourmap mode
o Fix buffer space check when sending data
o Add introspection annotation for vnc_display_send_keys
o Fix pulseaudio enablement in demo
o Avoid crash with unsupported audio formats
o Turn off deprecation warnings
o Convert VncConnectionCredential to VncDisplayCredential
o Add API to allow access to keysyms from introspected bindings
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.

gtk-vnc is a VNC viewer widget for GTK. It is built using coroutines
allowing it to be completely asynchronous while remaining single
threaded. It provides a core C library, and bindings for Python
(PyGTK).
