Advene

* New package format (.azp, for Advene Zip Package) allowing to embed
resources (files) in packages. You can save old .xml files into .azp
files to get them converted. For instance,
access to resources is done through the TALES expression
package/resources/style.css
To use this resource in a TAL template, you can then use:
<link tal:attributes="href package/resources/style.css/absolute_url" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />

* A filename extension (.azp or .xml) is automatically appended if not
present.

* Advene now depends on gtk >= 2.8

* New global method: related. Returns, for an annotation, its related
annotation. It is a shortcut useful for the case of binary relations:
annotation/related/id
is equivalent to
annotation/outgoingRelations/first/members/last/id

* global methods can be defined by user plugins (in .advene/plugins
directory) through controller.register_global_method

* ! Moved config and preferences files to ~/.advene directory
(UserDir/advene on Windows)

* New annotation mimetype (application/x-advene-zone) which allows to
define rectangular zones.

* GUI:
* a view notebook holds the popupaccumulator below the video. It allows
to embed other views (timeline, treeview, transcription...) simply by
drag and drop of the view toolbutton into the notebook
* the treeview can be displayed by default on the right of the video
window (replacing the less used, for now, URL stack window), see the
preferences panel
* added an element creation toolbar
* generic player control shortcuts are used throughout the program:
Tab: play/pause
Control-Left, Control-Right: move forward/backwards
Home: goto start of the movie
* Edit/Preferences now allows to modify paths (data, movies, player, imagecache) (from Frank Wagner)
* Imagecache saves files with a .png extension
* The not_yet_available image is now loaded from share/pixmaps/notavailable.png
* Automatically close non-updateable views on package loading

* The dummy player now returns a running time

* Importer
* implemented CMML import

* Timeline
* Add shortcut to edit an annotation: 'e' to edit the selected
annotation (selection can be moved with arrow keys)

* TranscriptionEdit:
* clicking on a mark now goes to the position. Use the popup menu to remove marks.
* control-space now sets a mark and pauses the movie

* Snapshot cache now saves files with a .png extension (from Frank Wagner)

* Implemented plugin architecture (user-defined plugins in ~/.advene/plugins)

* webserver:
* message log is now available from the menu (View->Webserver log), and
not displayed on the console
* new action: /admin/halt (useful for the standalone case)
* new action: /admin/methods displays the list of available TALES methods
* new path: /action/ActionName?param=TALESexpr to invoke actions defined
in the ECA framework

* Advene no longer depends on the Image module. It only uses it if image
type conversion is necessary.

* Added spanish translations (courtesy of Emmanuel Ayala)
* Bugfix in path initialization

* Multiple instances can now run simultaneously (only the first instance
activates its webserver)

* evaluator: changed some shortcuts (see help), implemented expression history
