DVDAuthor 0.7.0

DVDAuthor is the underlying command-based DVD-Video authoring engine
used, as far as I'm aware, by every GUI-based Free Software DVD-Video
authoring application.

This is to announce version 0.7.0 of DVDAuthor, incorporating many new
features:
    Reworked subtitle file reading so it can now deal with encodings like UTF-16
    Default encoding for subtitle files is no longer ISO-8859-1, but taken from
            user's locale
    Add fontconfig support following a patch by Nicolas George
    Remove dvdauthor config files and make command line -o option take precedence over
            XML dest attribute.
    Video format no longer has hard-coded default to NTSC, unless you invoke configure
            with --enable-default-video-format=NTSC. You can also configure with
            --enable-default-video-format=PAL to default to PAL.
    Implement configuration of default video format as per the proposal at
            <http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Video_Format_Pref>.
    File names are no longer converted to locale encoding, unless you invoke configure
            with --enable-localize-filenames.
    You can now specify fill and outline colours and outline thickness for text subtitles.
            Colours can be specified in additional ways, including by name and in HSV space.
    You can now also specify a shadow offset and colour for text subtitles
    Allow non-title PGCs in a titleset
    The VM language now allows C-style comments, as well as CDATA sections
    Add --nomux and --nodvdauthor-data options to spumux (thanks to TED for sponsoring this)
