gPodder 3.8.3 "The Cheshire Project Part Two" released

This is a small bugfix release that fixes some issues with the 3.8.2 release, mostly due to the new build method we are using:

• Fixes issues with the Windows version not starting up (fake D-Bus module was missing)
• Fixes extraneous icon in the MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan (N9) build (Harmattan doesn't support the NoDisplay key in .desktop files)
• Fixes a typo in the QML files that caused gPodder to fail to start up
• Enable "Check for updates" by default, even on non-Windows platforms
• Extension: Open website in episode list (bug 1958)

As always, a detailed changelog is available at gpodder.org/changelog/3.8.3.

Starting with this release, we are doing automated release builds for MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan and the Windows build of gPodder, so packages for those targets should be available at the same time as the source release.
