New update of Miro out.

Full details below.

Happy to see the Ubuntu Gutsy support and the support for alternate channel
guides (such as mefeedia). :)

The ability to download individual videos without subscribing to a show is
nice too.

But what really makes me happy is they've brought the permalink out of
hiding and brought it to the forefront in the playback interface.

My previous workaround had been to click the star button, which took me to a
form on the videobomb site from which I could then copy/paste the permalink
into the web browser location bar. I'm guessing most people never discovered
this workaround and hence never got from watching the video back to the
original site.

Having a direct link back to the originating website is a huge coup and
should improve creator to fan contact in miro tremendously.  It was always
my most loved feature in Fireant.

Major Update Available

A major update to Miro is available. The new version is Miro Public Preview
3 (0.9.9.9). We strongly recommend that all users upgrade.

New Features and Bug Fixes in Public Preview 3 (0.9.9.9)

   - On Windows, Miro will now generate thumbnails for any file that you
   download or add to your library. If a channel already provides a thumbnail
   for a video, Miro will show that instead.
   - Compatibility with OSX Leopard and Ubuntu Gutsy.
   - Miro now shows the channel icon instead of the generic video icon
   each video in a channel.
   - Miro will now remeber in-channel search terms, when you leave the
   channel or return from a playing video.
   - Miro now has the ability to add alternate channel guides and
   initiate individual video downloads with a 1-click button.
   - There are changes to the first time user experience, new users are
   now able to subscribe to some batches of channels on specific themes, like
   Sports, News, Food, etc.
   - At the request of video bloggers, we've put a 'permalink' below the
   video playback area. This makes it easy to go to that video post and leave a
   comment.
   - Some install functionality that makes our Co-Branded Miro service
   possible.
   - Lots of bug fixes and small tweaks.
