    Update to 0.7.0:

    Overview of changes in libgpod 0.7.0
    ====================================

    * support for iPod Nano 4th generation

    This includes support for cover art.
    Please note that this release DOES NOT support iPhones and iPod Touch
    with firmware 2.x

    * support for "sparse artwork" writing

    This lets us write more compact artwork files to the iPod, which in turn makes
    the UI more responsive (and saves disk space on the iPod).

    * jump table support

    These are the big letters that show up in the album/artist list when someone
    quickly scrolls through them. Thanks a lot to Ian Stewart for implementing it.

    * chapter data support

    Chapter data allows large files (movies, audio books, podcasts) to be divided
    into smaller sections.  Thanks to Michael Tiffany for this feature.

    * improved timezone handling

    This should now work up to 5G iPods, for newer iPods, libgpod will assume
    timestamps are in UTC.

    * translation updates

    Thanks to all of our translators :)

    * much more complete API doc

    All of the public API is now documented with gtk-doc.

    * simplification of the cover art handling API

    The API for artwork for developers using libgpod should be more
    straightforward, if things are missing, don't hesitate to get in touch
    with us ;)

    * extensive plist parser

    In libgpod 0.6.0, libgpod got a very basic parser for the SysInfoExtended file
    (which is a XML plist description). This parser was rewritten for this release
    to parse the whole file. This parser depends on libxml2 but its compilation
    will be disabled if libxml2 and its development headers can't be found.

    * add mapping from iPod serial numbers to iPod models

    The iPod serial number can be obtained programmatically, and its last 3 digits
    are characteristic of an iPod (type, generation, color, capacity). libgpod
    can now find out an iPod model using this serial number.

    * portability improvements to windows and macosx

    This is probably not perfect yet, but the goal is to improve it as much as
    possible so don't hesitate to send bug reports if some things are still not
    working. Thanks to the songbird project and ��ric Lassauge.

    * reworked handling of artwork formats

    libgpod can now automatically use the artwork formats described in
    SysInfoExtended even if the iPod model is unknown, this should make it possible
    for libgpod to support artwork on newly released iPod models without the need
    to upgrade.

    * python bindings are more consistent with other python container objects

    This enables testing whether a key exists in an object (e.g. "'title' in track")
    as well as iterating over a Track or Photo object's keys, values, or items.

    * bug fixes and code cleanup all over the place
