-xmms-sid - SIDPlay input plugin for X MultiMedia System (XMMS)
+XMMS-SID - SIDPlay input plugin for X MultiMedia System (XMMS)
 ==============================================================
 List of user-visible changes in XMMS-SID (See ChangeLog for
 more complete listing of changes)
 
+Version 0.8
+===========
+* Theme-song (SID-tune!) from Brite-Lite/Dekadence!
+  Thanks for great work! Listen to his other tunes
+  in HVSC, VARIOUS/A-F/Brite-Lite/ and visit the
+  Dekadence web-experience: http://www.dekadence64.org/
+
+* Support for libSIDPlay 2.x! If you have 1.x too,
+  you can select which one to use in the configuration
+  dialog.
+
+* Song-length support! Several methods supported:
+
+  - Maximum playtime setting. If set ON, song will be
+    played for given time. This can be used as a
+    fall-back method if a detection is selected, but
+    it fails.
+
+  1) No song-length detection. XMMS-SID plays the song
+     forever, OR if max-playtime is set, for that time.
+
+  2) Pseudo-heuristic silence detector.
+     Allows the user to define a "silent time limit"
+     with amplitude percentage. When the average output
+     volume has stayed on specified percentage for
+     specified time, next song is started.
+
+  3) HVSC song-length database support. XMMS-SID now
+     supports the XSIDPLAY's song-length database for
+     tunes contained in HVSC collection. This is
+     probably the best option, but requires downloading
+     of a small package (few hundred kB's), that contains
+     the database. Read "README" for more info.
+
+
+* Improved file information dialog:
+
+  - Coloring in "comment"-field, if multiple entries
+    are present there.
+
+  - Sub-song "name" or "title" is shown (if any) in the
+    sub-song selector. If "name" is found for the song,
+    it is shown, if not, then "title" is checked for
+    and shown if found.
+
+
+* XMMS v1.2.5 introduced the "generic title format" that
+  can be used to have same format titles for those
+  plugins that support it. XMMS-SID is now one of them.
+  There is also an overriding option, that enables you
+  to have SID-specific titles. See the configuration
+  dialog for more information.
+
+
+* New SIDAmp-style sub-song selector window. Does not
+  require patching of XMMS, so this is easier to use.
+  The patch is not used by XMMS-SID, but included for
+  those who want the additional functionality it provides
+  for other plugins.
+
+
+* Throw in a handful of bugfixes (and possibly new bugs),
+  stir powerfully. Finally, sprinkle some minor improvements
+  on the top and voéla!
