We are pleased announce a new release of AlienBBC. This release is a
beta  release of v2.02 and is only compatible with SqueezeCenter
7.1/7.2 and 7.3 (Note: there is a different download for 7.3).

This release addresses the following issues:
- Drop support for SC 7.0 - support 7.1 and 7.2 
- Rework parsers for BBC iPlayer
- This version includes beta parsers for the iPlayer web pages (7.1+)
and BBC XML feeds (SC 7.2)
- Remove alien skip code - only support 7.1 song scanner
- Fix RTSPScanHeaders to send CRLFCRLF at end of header

This is the first version of Alien to include support for the new BBC
iPlayer web site. The transition to iPlayer has removed several of the
listen again feeds which the old version of Alien supported. These are
replaced in this version with new menus based on iPlayer. If you have
previously installed the iPlayer or BBC XML Alien addons which have
been published in the forums, then *please delete these* prior to
installing Alien to avoid duplicated menus. You may also need to reset
the Alien menus (web settings page for Alien) to remove all old menu
entries and leave new menu supported by Alien. This release also
includes an alternative set of Listen Again menus which are created
from XML feeds which the BBC has recently made available. Please note
this menu will only work on 7.2 and 7.3 versions of SqueezeCenter. It
contains less information than the iPlayer based menus, but should be
less susceptible to changes in the BBC site causing loss of menu
entries. Please try this menu if you find the programme you are looking
for missing from the main menus. An experimental version of Alien is
included for 7.3 - this supports the      new streaming api in
SqueezeCenter 7.3, but should only be used by people beta testing 7.3
and should be considered unstable at present.

The update can be downloaded from http://www.x2systems.com/alienbbc/.

Please post any comments or suggestions to the Slim Devices 3rd Party
Plugins forum (please post individual issues as new posts rather than
replying to this post).

Thanks, The AlienBBC Team
