I intended to do the release today but multiple things seem to be still worked on
that being a png regression, cispa / mpegvideo crashes. Also an extra day or 2 
for the last minute cfhd fix probably isnt a bad idea either. so it feels like
unwise to rush this today. Sadly i have no time tomorrow and monday. Will try
to make the release in a few days thus

Thanks
