Hi all

Today, freevo-1.7.1 has been released, there has been a quite a bit of activity 
since freevo-1.7.0 with yet more exciting new features. The statistics show 91 
additions and 109 changes since 1.7.0.

First and most importantly, I know that I have said this last time *BUT* a 
really big thank you to all of you who have contributed and it is thanks to 
these contributions that freevo has been moving so quickly over the last few 
months, just in case your interested the "ever growing" list is in the 
Docs/CREDITS.

Some of the new features that have been added in 1.7.1 are:

* TV recording manager, which groups episodes together and shows which have 
been watched.
* Anamorphic wide screen "Panorama" skin, for those of you with 16x9 TVs
* MusicIP Mixer plug-in.
* Native ALSA mixer plug-in, requires PyAlsaAudio 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyalsaaudio/)
* Program active/running idle-bar plug-in.
* New event type to send specific commands to xine.

Some of the updated features include:
* Selection of audio, subtitles and chapters should now work correctly.
* IMDB information should now be correct for films and it is possible to get TV 
episodes info.
* X-Video motion compensation can be turned off for specific videos.
* IVTV codec settins have been corrected to work correctly with the V4L2 
interface.
* RSS feed server has been improved and should get more podcasts.
* Weather plug-in should now work again, after msnbc.com dropped their url.
* Weather has some languages available, such as FR, NL, ES.
PLUGIN_WEATHER_LOCATIONS = [ ("LOCATION", SI-untils, "LANG", "Description"), 
...]

Some of the translations that have been updated, but more need doing. Feel free 
to send in new translations or patches for the translations. The trick here is 
to look for lines with 'fuzzy' and 'msgstr ""'

You will also need to download the latest kaa.base-0.1.3, kaa.metadata-0.6.1 
and kaa.imlib2-0.2.1 packages from the sourceforge pages.

The complete list of changes as it is really quite long, you can see them all 
from the wiki pages: http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/ChangeLog


Have fun with the new release.
Duncan
