Hi, This is a special GNOME release team Rhythmbox preview release. *Please* don't announce this release on news sites or the like yet; that should wait for 0.6.0. People looking for a taste of the Rhythmbox future but afraid to try building from arch/CVS are also welcome to try this release. So as you know, the Rhythmbox team hopes very much to fulfill our long-term goal of being included with GNOME. It's been a goal since before GNOME 2.2, and I think we're really, finally almost ready. However, the current schedule for new module releases this week is slightly out of sync with our expected 0.6.0 target; we expect 0.6.0 to be at least another week, maybe two. It's quite close now, but some bugs remain, and we have a commitment now to extremely polished releases :) We do feel though that the current development version is quite usable. So, for the purposes of evaluating Rhythmbox for inclusion in GNOME, you have several choices. 1) Try the well-worn 0.5.3 release. This is used by a large number of people and it has bugs, but it does largely work. 2) Try this 0.5.88 release. This release has some new bugs, but it also gives a major speed boost, a number of sexy new features, a cleaned up UI, and more, in addition to being a massive rework of the Rhythmbox code. 3) And of course, you can always try the latest arch/CVS version. So, without further ado: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/rhythmbox/0.5/rhythmbox-0.5.88.tar.gz Your comments, questions, bug reports, and especially changesets are appreciated! :)
