+== 0.21.3 ==
+
+Fix installation mistake.
+Add a "netflix instant" descriptor.  Seems to work well on firefox on windows.
+
+Note also that anything you can view on your computer you can view precisely the same,
+and with audio, by capturing and "beaming" the screen (like playon.tv does) to your
+console or to another computer.  See also VLC, which can stream arbitrary streams,
+including the current system screen, and the current system sound, if you pass it
+the right directshow parameters.
+
+You could also use a projector to project anything you see on your computer.
+
+Note also that with the previous code (screen tracker), it already had the capability to do 
+"mutes" and "blank out overlays" simultaneously, for quite a few releases.
+
+== 0.21.2 ==
+
+Make fast preview faster, some minor cleanups.
+
+== 0.21.1 ==
+
+Set lower priority for processes better.
+
+== 0.20.5 ==
+
+Now allow for editing using EDL mode only.
+Also lower the priority for [most] processes during create time.

 It is controversial to use open source software to play/rip commercial DVD's.
 There are a few conflicting views.  
 Sensible-cinema doesn't actually do any decryption or decoding, nor has any knowledge of it.  
 It doesn't even have knowledge
 as to whether the DVD being ripped is encrypted or not.  We don't distribute sensible-cinema with

+the ripping program, or any ripping codes, either (the user must install it later after being prompted).
 You can ask the authors of that program if it is legal.  Apparently
 libdvdcss (which the other programs that it calls out to use) has never been legally challenged in court (or so they say), 
 and uses a slightly different algorithm than those that have, so the jury's out.
-Using sensible-cinema is probably not any more unethical than ripping your DVD collection to your hard
-drive so you can ""keep your DVD's all in one place" or what not.
+Also since we only call out to another (separate) executable, we're as legal as audacity calling out to winlame.dll for its
+mp3 conversions, or perhaps similar to Handbrake calling out to VLC Media Player.  Use only after knowing the risk.

 It's about the same as using VLC media player to watch a DVD, which also uses libdvdcss.

 with encryption specifications, so that might have some sway.
