After a long time a new release is out. Since we made many
internal changes like converting to Unicode the release is only
a pre release. There is no new runtime right now and the
installer also downloads the latest stable version (1.4.1), but
I guess there will be distribution specific packages out soon.
Besides the new Freevo tarball, you need to update your
mmpython to version 0.4. But this version of mmpython won't
work with older versions of Freevo. We also renamed most config
variables. There is a transformation script, but I suggest you
check the complete config because some variables have now more
features.
And now the long (and maybe incomplete) Changelog:
* Add MimetypePlugin
* New fxd parser and better fxd item handling
* Rename most config variables (!)
* Add "cross fading"-style blending in the image viewer
* Fxd file support for and (see share/fxd/examples)
* Replaced webradio plugin with a fxd file (share/fxd)
* New, reworked bluetooth plugin for controlling Freevo
* detachbar plugin to see what Freevo is playing when
detaching the audio player
* Support for Rendezvous/Zeroconf based service announcement
* Freevoscreensaver plugin. loop your favorite movie or
slideshow to be your screensaver. And it only will show
when in menus so no annoying savers popup while watching
movies.
* Update command plugin to allow for X users to run X based
apps (Mozilla etc) via a FXD file.
* big speed enhancement:
+ better caching of files/attributes
+ including mmpython cache inside Freevo
* storage of item variables of Freevo sessions
* VirtualFileSystem to store metadata
* Skin enhancements
* Support for DVD Mirrors (full lossless versions of DVDs
played from the hard drive)
* Reworked the web interface into XHTML with most design and
layout in the style sheet. Removed proprietary HTML
attributes.
* Metadata generation during runtime and by cache helper
* Unicode support
* Better automounter support for network shares
* many many other things
Enough text, download now: Freevo 1.5.0-pre1 and mmpython 0.4.

distribution.
