A new release of gPodder is out. This release improves UI startup performance as well as introduces our own podcastparser library that we use in gPodder 4 to the gPodder 3 releases -- this should improve the feed parsing performance and allow for better support of podcast-specific features like Podlove Simple Chapters and Paged Feeds in the future (some of these features are already in gPodder 4's codebase).

Here's what's new:
  • Fix tagging download extension (#148, patch by Eric Le Lay)
  • Improve YouTube cover art resolution (patch by Hiltronix)
  • win32-launcher: Fix crash when Python is missing

gPodder 3.9.0 "Helium Levitator" released

A new version of gPodder is out! This release removes some old, unmaintained code and fixes some bugs and adds a new translation.

Starting from version 3.9.0, the N9 port is not supported anymore; the code is still available in the "harmattan" branch in Git if you need it or want to backport fixes yourself.

Flattr support was broken with the recent changes to Flattr's website, it is recommended that you use gpodder.net's Flattr integration instead if you want to use this feature.

For the Windows build, due to some Norton false positives, the auto-download feature for Python and PyGTK has been removed and replaced with a link to http://gpodder.org/dependencies, so users can manually download the dependencies.

Here is the list of changes:
  • Added Korean translation (by Byeongkeon Kim)
  • Device sync: Only fail if we can determine free disk space (bug 2052)
  • Enqueue episodes after download (Closes #133)
  • Ubuntu AppIndicator extension: 'visible' config option
  • gpodder.download: Ignore non-ASCII content-disposition header (bug 2059)
  • Win32-launcher: Remove download feature (works around Norton warning)
  • Remove WebUI, QML UI and MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan support
  • Remove broken Flattr integration (use gpodder.net's Flattr support)
  • Redesign about dialog
  • Preferences: Move video services to separate tab
  • Vimeo: Fix Vimeo integration
As always, a detailed changelog is available at gpodder.org/changelog/3.9.0.
