     FIX --
-    Plug the file descriptor leak, partially fixed in version 0.4.1, for good
-    - it affected more than just the -q use case.
+    The special case of streaming MP3 files without reencoding had been lost,
+    causing such streams to have no metadata.
+    This has been fixed.
+    (Ticket #1225)
    </li>

+  various:

+   <li>
+    NEW --
+    A new convenience feature has been added, to allow automatic normalization
+    of metadata strings.
+    Useful if the majority of files come from a broken encoder/tagging program.
+    Disabled by default, this feature can be enabled with the new
+    <code>-n</code> command line parameter.
+   </li>
+   <li>
+    NEW --
+    Enable Unicode support in TagLib and convert metadata strings to the
+    current locale (<code>LC_CTYPE</code>) before displaying them on the
+    console.
+    Unsupported characters are displayed as <code>?</code> on the console,
+    which does not affect the actual metadata itself.
+    This feature requires iconv() via libc, if available, or GNU libiconv.
+   </li>
+   <li>
+    NEW --
+    Support gettimeofday() functionality on all platforms, including Windows.
+    The "real-time status line" when using the <code>-q</code> and
+    <code>-v</code> parameters is now complete everywhere.
+   </li>
+   <li>
+    MISC --
+    Add new <code>--enable-debug</code> configuration option to the configure
+    script, which enables (also new) memory debugging features.
+    (Not interesting for non-developers.)
+   </li>
+   <li>
+    MISC --
