Currently the latest community release is 0.6.1, a micro update to the 0.6 release(Jun. 13th) with several bug fixes from 0.6: http://www.songbirdnest.com/release-notes/0.6.1. From the Songbird Roadmap(http://wiki.songbirdnest.com/Roadmap), there will be a minor updates every two months, until the official 1.0 release next year. > There are always comments on Songbird fora about obtaining > new media plugins.

Songbird is integrated with GStreamer framework and all the GStreamer plugins apply to Songbird, for example, the mp3 gstreamer plugin from Fluendo. I think we, the desktop team and the IPS team, will work out a solution to easy the user experience to get the plugins by IPS with necessary agreements. And some plugins(with re-distribution issue) will be put into an encumbered repository. > I'm less than impressed that we have yet another case that > plans to deliver its own copy of nss/nspr.
