Banshee 0.12.0 is now out in the wild. This release marks
the official
"start" of the stable series. The series has been
frozen for the past
few releases with only bug fixes and translation updates
going in, but
the 0.12.0 version seals the deal.
Banshee will soon be branched for starting new feature
development. Both
the stable (0.12.x) and development (0.13.x) branches will
be
maintained.

need to grep the
ChangeLog to build a complete list. If your name is
missing here, feel
free to let us know, or just wait for it to appear in a
later release.
Something to share with friends and family
