Hello all freevoers, Announcing that the new releases of Freevo-1.7.9 and Freevo-1.8.2 are available for downloading from sourceforge.net, http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=46652
First and foremost a real big thanks to everyone who has contributed to the development of the Freevo 1 series. An a thank you to everyone who has provided feedback on the doodle poll. A special thanks to: Gorka for his work with mplayervis and alpha blending between menus. José for his work with rtve.es plug-in and FilmAffinity plug-in and more. Torsten for his speak plug-in. Adam for updates to livepause. Valera for lots of bug reports and fixes. Now that the kaa.notifier code has proven to be reliable this will be the last release of the 1.7 series. We will now start to concentrate on updating the plug-ins to remove the code that polls for events from the main loop. The effect of the all this polling is that the user interface is much less responsive than it should be and the CPU load is higher than it should be.
