+ 05-Oct-2003: Freevo 1.4rc1 is out
+ After a long time, a new version is out. This is the first release
+ canditate of Freevo 1.4. We will release more canditates until all
+ bugs you report are fixed. Still, this release is the most stable
+ release ever (I hope)
+
+ <b>Changes since 1.3.4:</b>
+ <ul>
+ <li>changes in the directory structure</li>
+ <li>setup.py for normal python installation</li>
+ <li>i18n support: fr, es, sv, nl, pt_BR, no</li>
+ <li>new record server</li>
+ <li>idlebar plugin for lmsensors</li>
+ <li>Merged latest xmltv parsing support</li>
+ <li>Preliminary FreeBSD support from Lars Eggert</li>
+ <li>xine support for audio playback (needs xine-ui cvs)</li>
+ <li>Support for FLAC encoding, tagging and playback (needs xine)</li>
+ <li>Many fixes for Python 2.3 warnings</li>
+ <li>bugfixes and better error handling</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ The old record stuff is still in there, but will removed in
+ 1.4. Please test it.
+
+
+ <b>Known bugs:</b>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Informations with UTF-8 characters from ogm/ogg files are not
+ displayed correctly. This is fixed in the current mmpython
+ snapshot. Before Freevo 1.4, there will be a new release of
+ mmpython.</li>
+ <li>If you delete a schedule from inside Freevo, the list of schedules
+ won't update. You need to go back one menu and select it
+ again.</li></ul>
+
+ We won't add new stuff that could break Freevo until 1.4 final is
+ out. But still, <b>you can help with sending us</b>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Bugreports. Please send them to the Freevo mailing list. If you
+ are not subscribed to it, send a mail with [Freevo-Bug] in the subject
+ to [EMAIL PROTECTED]</li>
+ <li>Docs. Some plugins are badly documented. If you have some free
+ time, please send a small description how to activate and configure
+ the plugin. Again, to the freevo user list or with the subject
+ [Freevo-DOC] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]</li>
+ <li>Translations. Freevo now has i18n support. Please send us
+ translations are corrections in the current translation. Subject
+ identifier for [EMAIL PROTECTED] is [Freevo-i18n]</li>
+ <li>Patches. If you find a bug and can fix it, send it to the list or
+ use the subject [Freevo-PATCH] and send to [EMAIL PROTECTED]</li>
+ <li>Plugins. If you wrote a nice plugin, we will integrate it. Since
+ it can't break anything when it's not active, we will include any
+ (usefull) plugin in the Freevo CVS (indentifier [Freevo-Plugin]</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ Since I don't like spam to the new address [EMAIL PROTECTED], all
+ mails without one of the above identifiers to that adress will be
+ deleted by procmail.
+
+ <b>What file to download:</b>
+
+ The binary release contains the old runtime from 1.3.4. It's hard to
+ build a binary that runs on every Linux box out there. If it doesn't
+ work, you should install the Freevo source release. To do that, you
+ need the dependencies installed. There is a list at the download page
+ <a
+ href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/freevo/freevo-deps.txt?download";>here</a>.
+ There are also RPMs for Redhat 9 to help you update your system with
+ the needed stuff. Gentoo will have an ebuild from Freevo 1.4-rc1 in
+ the portage tree shortly. If you want to help for other distros,
+ please contact us.
+
+ Now have fun with 1.4. You can download it <a
+ href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=46652";>here</a>.
