Hello! I've just released a new version of gPodder. This release adds a bunch of features that have appeared in our SVN repository after the last release and also adds an important bugfix.
Compared to the previous releases, this release has happened a bit early into the month, which should give us some more time to prepare the new sync code (which will allow more features and CLI sync) until late January (at least that's what I hope :). Below are the release notes from the gPodder website. You can find download links on http://gpodder.berlios.de/downloads.html Enjoy! Thomas ================== gPodder 0.10.3 "A Stop at Willoughby" released It's not yet the end of December, but as the week between christmas and my birthday tends to be busy, I decided to push out this release earlier in the month. After all, this release contains an important bug fix for a bug that appeared in 0.10.2 and prevented first-time users from adding a new channel. Still, in these few weeks, we've added a bunch of good features that will make your gPodder experience even better (or at least that's what we hope..). Highlights of this release include the new pill in the channel navigator: A graphical representation of the numer of unplayed vs. downloaded episodes. This feature is based on an idea by Paul Rudkin from November. Another change to make life with strange podcast authors easier is the ability to directly add iTunes Podcast links (the ones starting with http://phobos.apple.com/...) to the channel list - gPodder will take care of "resolving" the correct podcast RSS URL. You can now delete single episodes from your iPod from within gPodder (not yet available for MP3 players, though). A very cool feature has been suggested by Paul Rudkin, who also did the initial patch: Episodes can now be locked, so they can not be removed from the gPodder GUI. These "locked" episode will also be hidden from the Delete old episodes dialog. See below for the complete list of new features and changes. Teo Ramirez was kind enough to take the time to translate gPodder to Galician, so we now have gPodder translatins for English and 10 other languages. PayPal donations are always very nice. This month, John Charrette sent a donation - Thanks! And don't forget to visit the new gPodder Wiki that is updated more often and now also hosts our Feature Requests list. As always, you can grab your tarball from the downloads page, view new screenshots on the screenshots page or wait for your distribution vendor to update the gPodder package. Enjoy!
