Imagine doing all of this for free. What a wonderful world that would be...

New releases 1.7.7 and 1.8.0

Hello all freevoers,

Another short announcement that the new releases of Freevo-1.7.7 and Freevo-1.8.0 are available for downloading from sourceforge.net, get them here

In this release, again both the Freevo-1.7 series and the first of the Freevo-1.8 there have been quite a large number of changes. From release 1.7.6.1 to 1.7.7 there have are 188 new items and 205 changes. From release 1.8.0rc2 to 1.8.0 there are 113 new items and 195 changes.

The goal to make release 1.8.0 was to remove the Twisted XML-RPC interface from the TV recording modules and replace it with kaa.rpc. The effect of this seems to be that the TV part of Freevo is faster. You will need kaa.base-0.4.0.

Included in the 1.8.0 release are some RELEASE_NOTES, *do* read them if you are planning to migrate to the 1.8 series as you will need to carry out steps to migrate your favorites or they will be lost.

What's new, well here are a selection:

  • atlantice skin from CinPoU
  • Polish translation from Grzegorz Patron
  • Record while watching (IVTV TV cards) from Richard van Paasen
  • UPD remote for those of you with a PDA from Andreas Furtig
  • DVDcopy to make DVD images on your hard disk from Adam Charrett
  • Florian Demmer has fixed makelircrc to allow includes
  • Douglas A. Seifert has fixed cd-backup to record play lists
  • Pierre Ossman who has given us placement support for xrandr

There is a lot of changes from lots of people and the full list is detailed in the ChangeLog

A real big thanks to everyone who has contributed to the development of the Freevo 1 series. And all of you who have used Freevo.

Have fun and happy Easter

Duncan
