General

Release notes structure has been altered.
Installation of drivers section and how-to-play sections have been moved to a separate document.
After upgrading to a newer release, you should power cycle the system.

Component changes

Overall driver performance has been improved due to several optimizations.
SD and HD MPEG-2 playback enabled. (720p, 1080i, 1080p)
VC-1 playback enabled. (720p, 1080i, 1080p)

Known issues

FPGA version 0x2AF2 with this build has a bug where color (Chroma) is sometimes incorrect. Powering cycling the system will fix the problem.
MPEG-2 playback occasionally stops prematurely.
Graphedit sometimes returns the error message “Graph cannot change state” after playing a video clip to the end. This problem does not occur most of the time and is not repeatable.
In a few video clips, playback jitter can be observed even though the CPU utilization is very low.
In some cases interlaced video will not playback using VMR9 but will play back using VMR7. This has been traced to a problem with the D3D DLL used by VMR9.

CPU utilization has not been optimized yet
Certain highest bit rate H.264 clips (40 Mbots) cause choppy playback due to pending HW optimizations in the TX path
