Hello everybody, Today there are two releases for the freevo 1 series. Freevo-1.6.1 is a bug fix release fixing a number of bugs that have been reported since the release of Freevo-1.6.0.
For the brave and wild at heart there is a release candidate for Freevo-1.7.0, this contains many new features, and most importantly mmpython has been replaced by kaa.base and kaa.metadata. Read on to see how these can be obtained and installed. You may have to wait for a while for the files to be available on the sourceforge.net servers.
