We are pleased announce a new BETA release of AlienBBC. This beta
release includes some new features and support recent versions of
SlimServer 6.5. The release is also compatible with the 6.2.x release.
As this is a BETA release we cannot a fully support it, also if things
change in 6.5 then this release may stop working - it has been tested
with revision 5907.

This release addresses the following issues:
- Fixed the display of Gaelic characters (and any other &xxx;and &#xxx;
items)
- For 6.5 compatibility:
-- Replace addLinks with addPageLinks
-- Replace registerProtocolHandler with registerHandler
-- Use new getConvertCommand
-- Use new openRemoteStream
-- move setTitle into Alien (execute no longer supports title in $p3)
-- Update HTML to new non-table format
-- Timers now require a $client parameter
-- Revise output of web page to use array refs rather than filling a
template
- Move remaining print statements to d_plugin to quieten down console
- Updated ABC stations
- Added ABC podcasts
- Added Sveriges Radio from Patrik Wallström
- Added Danmarks Radio from Lars Thegler
- Removed codecs check as the latest mplayer doesn't need them
- Add ability to skip forward and backwards within streams, and set
start time using fwd/rew keys (Based on original proposal & rtsp stream
parsing from BPA)
- Experimental install pack for Windows.

The update can be downloaded from http://www.x2systems.com/alienbbc/.
Please note there are now separate downloads for 6.2.x and 6.5.

Note: For SlimServer 6.5 only, please read the additional installation
notes.

There is also a new version of mplayer available for Windows that
includes built-in support for RealAudio streams so the external codecs
are not required. This is included in the Windows install pack. See
http://www.x2systems.com/alienbbc/mplayer. 

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
