Elisa Media Center 0.5.6 Release
Dear Elisa users, The Elisa team is happy to announce the release of Elisa Media Center 0.5.6 codenamed Perks. A very important and long awaited improvement of this release is the introduction of DVD playback including DVD menus support. It is elegantly integrated in the user interface making it easy and natural to use. A well deserved big thanks goes to the GStreamer hackers who made that possible to happen. A considerable number of bugs were also fixed during this cycle (25 bugs) mainly related to device hotplugging and to the media scanner. On top of these bug fixes, this release also introduces the following new features: - Contextual actions now available in all view modes (list with preview, grid, coverflow). - First support for contextual actions in the pictures section. - DVD playback with support of menus. Installers and sources can be downloaded from http://elisa.fluendo.com/download/ Bug reports and feature requests are welcome at https://bugs.launchpad.net/elisa/+filebug There is still a known issue in this release and we are working on solving it as fast as possible: Audio CDs are not detected.
