+                multichannel (up to 5.1) Vorbis and FLAC audio;</li>
+              <li><strong>Progressive loading</strong> - progressive loading in Ogg importer has been mostly finished,
+                and is enabled for network sources and local files larger than 7.0 MB.</li>
+            </ul>
+            <p>Fixes and improvements:</p>
+            <ul>
+              <li>XiphQT builds as a single statically-linked bundle, which simplifies installation and makes embedding
+                in other applications much easier (see e.g. <a href="http://www.getdemocracy.com/">Democracy
+                Player</a>);</li>
+              <li>Ogg importer uses bulk-update API and does it less frequently;</li>
+              <li>assembly optimized code is on by default for the Theora decoder and encoder on Intel platform;</li>
+              <li>other small fixes.</li>
+            </ul>
+            <p>Known problems and limitations:</p>
+            <ul>
+              <li>while Ogg Theora files are progressively loading video stalls once a second until the loading process
+                is completed - we're working on this;</li>
+              <li>metadata/tags support in Ogg exporter is not implemented, yet;</li>
