Sorry, for not getting the release done.

Too many things started to drain my time and I just couldn't get
it done. After a while I started testing the FFmpeg API patches.
Found some other problem I couldn't track down and got stuck again.

I am all ears for plans to go forward. I should also have some time
in the coming weeks. Would be great if we could get a release done.


Best regards,
