MTP and podcast support - according their website - is not fully implemented in 0.98.3 neither.

Banshee had a complete rewrite and the 0.98.1 version is really really basic. 0.98.3 adds new stuff like shuffling, video support etc. I think I would call that major features. On top of that none of the plugins from before had been ported yet in 0.98.1 including Podcasts, DAAP, and MTP/iPod support.
Re: [arch-general] Banshee needs an update
Hi, to defend the basic feature set in the PKGBUILD, not every developer always uses ALL the packages he maintains. So we are not always up to snuff when it comes to the latest bells and whistles. In Banshees case, to make matters worse, changing the microversion aka the number behind the second dot is what I would call royally screwed up versioning when it means major feature adding. my 2 c -T On Fri, 18 Apr 2008, Timm Preetz wrote: > On Fri, 2008-04-18 at 10:19 +0300, Grigorios Bouzakis wrote: > > Current banshee version is 0.98.1 and latest is 0.98.3.

Even though i dont know i doubt the features added are that essential to cause this fuzz. What Xavier meant to say was since you think the Archlinux package is very basic you you propose what you compilation options you want to be added. Thus provide a PKGBUILD containing these. Chill.

However, it is missing many pretty essential features and it now far behind the releases put out by the banshee developers. I think that either we need to keep up or provide two seperate versions of the package until a final release of 1.0 is made. Thanks for writing this - I was going to write something along the same lines. the Banshee in the repos is much too basic. Where is your PKGBUILD up-to-date and with essential features, so that people interested would know what you are talking about?
