Dear Elisa Users,
The Elisa team is hereby announcing a first official release of Elisa
Media Center 0.5.1, code-named 'Como se pasa'.
With this release Elisa takes another step towards its goal of being a
true cross-platform media center. It works under Windows Vista and XP,
as well as the main Linux distributions.
This is the first public release of the new software architecture,
which significantly improves and ease development of new plugins,
skins and GUI.
As of new features, you can now add directories where you store your
media to more successfully access all your media content.
A "fast-scrolling bar" has been added to the interface, allowing you
to quickly move across large numbers of songs or movies to find the
one you're looking for. YouTube should now play higher quality clips,
if such are available from the online service. Feedback has been added
when media codecs are not supported, folders are empty, new versions
are available etc.
With Elisa, a new version of Pigment has also been released, code-
named 'Niko Bellic' version 0.3.6. It contains a long list of new
features, including rotations in 3D, OpenGL-ES support, touchscreen
support, etc. Find the Pigment release on:

There are still some known issues in the 0.5.1 release of Elisa, and
we are working on solving them as fast as possible:
- Artists/Albums is not correctly parsed and displayed
- Audio Visualization does not work on Windows
- Audio CD is not detected
- DAAP client missing under Windows
- USB storage devices do not show up under Linux
