 This is most important for platforms which do not have a real native package manager (MS Windows and Mac OSX).
 
-We no longer ship static codecs for any RPM distribution (centos / Fedora), instead we maintain our own private RPM builds of the media libraries (x264, ffmpeg and for some versions also libvpx and libwebp), which we will keep up to date independently of the xpra packages.

The repository contains everything needed for building everything from source.
 Users of the yum repositories will get their security updates as soon as new versions are available instead of just when a newer version of xpra is released. All the RPM specfiles and SRPMS are also available for those who wish to do it all themselves. (thanks to Matthew Gyurgyik)

OpenGL accelerated client rendering is now supported on centos 6.5.

 One major new feature is the automatic display selection, which means that you no longer need to choose a free X11 display (thanks to Benoit Gschwind).

 This will be the last release to support python 2.5 and older, libav, old versions of GTK, etc..
