Changelog:

[Gridle]
* Remote Control / Secondary Display over network.
* Background Music support.
* Settings, Menus etc. rearranged and (hopefully) simplified.
* Built-in support for 2D upscalers (xBR, SABR, ...).
* New cocktail-mode, slice vertical oriented image into two horiz. plane (think NDS on widescreen monitor).
* Vector mode split into separate glow and trail modes, with more options.
* State indicators added (emulator crash, lack of save state support).
* User confirmation before quitting targets without save state support.
* Core specific input helpers (for psx, bsnes, nxengine thus far).
* Background effects in grid view.
* Configurable sound-effect maps.
* Frameskipping, alignment and sound buffering configuration options.
* Improved startup times.
* Layout Editor (customview, ...) refactored, more type-specific options (font, color, ...).
* Streaming added to recording options.

[Streamer]
* First release, theme that combines layout editor with RTMP streaming (tested using twitch.tv)
  Multiple video input sources (combine emulators with several webcams) and mixing multiple audio sources

[Frameserver-Libretro]
* Toggelable Debug- and Performance- graphing mode.
* More fine-grained audio / video synchronization 
* Channel-swizzling in RGBx888 fixed.

[Core]

* Networking client/server support (frameserver/frameserver_net*)
* Improvements to responsiveness; frame alignment vs. resource polling vs. yielding.
* Runtime theme switching.
* Improved / fixed font-caching.
* VIDs can now be flagged (with some restrictions) to persist through context stacks.
* Option to re-use VID for text rendering.

[SHM-interface / Hijack Library]
* Simplified API somewhat.
* Support for different hijacklibs based on target (datamodel change).
* Hijacking audio streams (SDL) for recording / monitoring.
* Crude X11/Wine support (video only for now, somewhat difficult to set-up).

[Video encoder / decoder]
* Major refactor to work with newer FFMpeg releases (1.2+, unfortunately breaks PPA builds)
* Streaming encoding profile added.
* More audio / video codec combinations supported with presets (H.264, ...).
* Dropped support for older ffmpeg versions, <= API54 no longer accepted.

[Support Scripts]
* Resource-finder: added thumbnail scanning, fanart, boxart (back).
* OSD keyboard: shift-states (case-sensitive), keyboard part can be hidden.
* Keyconfig: analog axis mapping requires new samples to deviate from previous ones.
    (primitive) color picker added.
    layout_editor.lua added.

[Database Tool]
* Thumbnail generation for GamesDB scraper (requires image magick rubygem, enabled on win32 distribution for now).
* Improved scraper naming accuracy (from terrible to slightly less terrible).
* Added primitive importers for MUPEN and VirtualBox (not currently usable though).

[LUA API]
* new constants (MAX_SURFACEW, MAX_SURFACEH, NET_BROADCAST)
* new functions (net_push, net_listen, net_open, net_push_srv, net_disconnect, net_authenticate, net_accept, net_refresh, persist_image, capture_audio, list_audio_inputs, switch_theme, target_graphmode)
