This is a short summary for distribution package maintainers.
For regular end-user documentation see the help/ pages.
Structural changes in 2.1.5 (2015-04-xx)
----------------------------------------
→ There's a new `bin` script. It's a lightweight invocation
wrapper, intended to be installed as /usr/bin/streamtuner2
now.
Which hopefully avoids lengthy patches in the future.
→ The previous `st2.py` still exists, but is now supposed to
reside in `/usr/share/streamtuner2/st2.py` along with all
other modules.
→ Theoretically it's now possible to change the target path
even (just edit `bin`).
I'd still advise to use /usr/share/streamtuner2/ as main target
directory though. It's not yet practical to extract into Python
site-package directories.
The channel PNG files still need to reside alongside the Python
modules. Later versions may completely soak the images into the
source code (meta data section) for simpicity.
Renames
-------
· bookmarks, configdialog, streamedit were extracted into
channels/ - which is why the main module got lighter.

The channel PNG files have been soaked into the .py includes.
Though one could still package any static *.png alongside.
(Both will remain supported, for simplicity.)

→ and `logo.png` is the pixmap/app icon
Removed
-------
Some plugin PNGs may have been removed already. (Embedded
fewer files are fewer files.)
And the streamtuner2.png logo is now source-embedded instead,
the`logo.py` module provides a `logo.png` string.
The old `gtk2.xml` file is gone. It probably became obsolete
a long while back. The gtk3.xml is instead runtime-patched
to work with PyGTK/gtk2.

Most plugin PNGs may have been removed already. (Embedded
binary data may violate some distro guidelines(?), but hey,
fewer files are fewer files!)
And the streamtuner2.png logo is now source-embedded instead,
the `logo.py` module provides a `logo.png` base64-string.
The old `gtk2.xml` file is gone. It probably became obsolete
a long while back. The gtk3.xml is instead runtime-patched
to work with PyGTK/gtk2.

Lazy installation
-----------------
The new .PYZ archive bundles everything into a ZIP file. Which,
given the right shebang, could just be "installed" as literal
/usr/bin/streamtuner2 even.
I'm sure nobody is going to do so. But you know, it's at least
a theoretical option now..
FPM/XPM packaging
-----------------
You may have noticed (and scoffed at ;) the newer packaging
method. It's now using http://fossil.include-once.org/xpm/
with the `src` filter. (That's what the meta comment blocks
in the source modules were always meant for.)
Repo
----
The source code is hosted in a Fossil repo.

/usr/bin/streamtuner2 even.
I'm sure nobody is going to do so. But you know, it's at least

And this PYZ-packaging scheme is the main reason for the
restructuring, and embedded PNGs for example. (Albeit that
wasn't strictly necessary.)

Simplifies DEB and RPM packaging, as well as PYZ generation.
(They're all workable, but decidedly rather crude packages.
So yes, proper distro packages are very much still needed.)
