New Features Since 1.7.4:
- *
+ * GIO/udev-based hardware backend
+
+ Our old HAL-based backend still works, but HAL has been deprecated and
+ even removed from some distributions; GIO/udev are the future.
+
+ * Apple Devices backend with support for iPod/iOS devices
+
+ Our ipod-sharp/podsleuth-based backend still exists, but this libgpod
+ based backend is the future. This is its first release, so it should be
+ considered beta quality; please file bugs!
+
+ * MPRIS support (Ubuntu Sound Indicator, etc)
+
+ * Audiobooks and Miro Guide extensions enabled by default
Enhancements/API Additions:
- *
+ * Play menu item in track context menu
+ * Amazon affiliate codes for all supported countries
+ * "Amazon MP3s" Music smart playlist
+ * Miro Guide teaser in Podcasts
+ * Zoom support in Amazon MP3 Store and Miro Guide
+ * Now Playing simplify mode that declutters the UI
+ * Play Queue shuffle action
+ * Podcast errors shown to user
+ * Better MTP device detection
+ * Default smart playlists hidden when empty, for new users
+ * New and improved user documentation
+
+ * Developers: Our new gstreamer-sharp based media engine backend has seen
+ some recent improvements. It's alpha quality, but is usable
+ and ready for hacking. Our libbanshee-based backend is still
+ the only one recommended for end-users.
* Packagers: You may need to call update-mime-database in a post-install
package hook for the AmazonMp3 extension.
