Thanks a lot for the work, Valorie!

We usually do not provide a full changelog in the beta release, that
we will do for the 2.9 final. I added a link to the Changelog in the
text. I also added some additional text.

We have another problem: going through the changelog, it appears that
some of the GSoC work from 2 years ago was never merged, namely the CD
rework done by Tatjana. This really should be merged ASAP, as it is
very likely to fix the problem with CD playing.

Would be nice if this could be done ASAP, so we can respin the beta
tarball and push this out. I don't think this should be done after the
beta release, but before!

Regards, Myriam
