        Releasing GNU libextractor 1.0.0. 

Fri Aug 17 21:28:33 CEST 2012
    	Major changes to plugin mechanism now allow out-of-process
	plugins full random-access to the entire file.  Most plugins
	have now been rewritten to the new plugin API (0.7).  The external
	(libextractor) API will remain unchanged and compatible with LE 0.6.

	As part of the rewrite, many plugins were changed to use 
	standard 3rd party libraries (libjpeg, libtiff, libgif, 
	libtidy, libmagic) for parsing.  A new plugin based on
	gstreamer replaces many existing multimedia plugins.

	Automated testcases for (almost all) of the plugins
	were also written and the documentation was updated.

	The license was changed to GNU GPL v3+.  
	PDF support removed (GPLv2-only).
	REAL support removed (not yet ported).
