+
+<p>
+We gave up on 1.0
+</p>
+
+<p>
+After a long pause, we decided that it might be a good idea to make
+a new release. While we had our fun with the naming scheme with lots
+of "pre" and "rc" it seemed time to move on and with everyone incrementing
+major versions between weekly and monthly we hope to be forgiven for
+jumping ahead to 1.1.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This release is intended to be compatible with the recent FFmpeg 0.11 release.
+We hope it will be useful to distros and other users relying on FFmpeg 0.11.
+Everyone else is encouraged to follow Subversion HEAD to always get the latest
+features and bug fixes. You might still want to read the release announcement to
+get a short summary of any bigger changes and improvements.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Among the bigger news is that we found a maintainer for the X11 gmplayer GUI,
+so those holding out on it against our earlier recommendations will get a lot
+of bug fixes.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+There is also support for more subtitle types (Bluray, DVB, DVB closed-caption
+for example), many improvements to -vo gl including output of 10 bit video,
+very basic but usable OpenGL ES support and much better SDL support which
+makes it a usable choice on OSX (particularly on older PowerPC variants much
+faster than corevideo or quartz).
+MPlayer will now also try much harder to handle intermittent network failures,
+for example trying to reconnect.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+As part of the code cleanup efforts, the internal libfaad2 copy has been removed
+since the FFmpeg decoder is working well. Also the internal mp3lib copy is no
+longer used by default since the many alternatives (FFmpeg, libmpg123, libmad)
+avoid its recurring issues like incorrect decoding with newer compilers.
+However it can still be forced at runtime for easier tracking of regressions.
+Please do not rely on this since it will be removed in the future.
+If you do not actually need it consider disabling it at compile time with --disable-mp3lib.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+As a first for this release, the tarballs are available in two variants:
+compressed with xz and compressed with gzip.
+Please get the xz variant if you can to save bandwidth, the gzip version
+is for everyone that cannot use it.
+Should you never have encountered xz compressed files, newer versions of
+tar can uncompress it via "tar xJf MPlayer-1.1.tar.xz".
