Update availability for gPodder 3.x for Nokia N9

If you have previously downloaded gPodder 3.x from Nokia Store, please download the newest version from gpodder.org/downloads. The release in Nokia Store was outdated (and since January 1st 2014 we couldn't upload any new version), so we decided to remove it from there to prevent outdated installs and bug reports against old versions.

The most up-to-date and supported release will always be available from gpodder.org's downloads page, and we will try to keep the package on openrepos.net also updated, so you can get automated updates if you use the openrepos.net Warehouse client.

Android Client "Detlef Gpodderson" 1.0 released

(This blog post comes from the Detlef team, who just finished their one-semester project at University to create a gpodder.net client for Android.)


After almost 800 hours of work, attending hackdays, thousands of lines written (and thousand of lines deleted again) it's finally done: Version 1.0 of Detlef Gpodderson has been released on Google Play.

Excuse me, but who is Detlef?
Detlef is the code name of a gpodder.net client for Android 4+ devices. It was created by a team of 6 students during a university course on software engineering tutored by Stefan (@horrendus) and released under the terms of the GNU GPLv2 license.

800 hours of work may sound like a lot for such an app - but the course focused in large parts on project management, organisation and documentation. So the 800 hours did not go exclusively in coding as one might think.

The resulting software forms a good basis for further development, and contributions are very welcome!

Sounds nice, but what can I do with it?
Detlef Gpodderson is designed as a dedicated client for gpodder.net for devices running Android 4.0 or newer. Here's what you can do with this first release:
  • Synchronize podcast subscriptions (two-way)
  • Discover new podcasts from within the app
  • Listen to podcasts using the integrated media player
  • Create playlists, filter episodes lists and much more
You want to contribute? Great!
Everybody can contribute to Detlef, and you don't even need to be able to write code to help us! Here are some ideas what you can do to help us out:
All that’s left to say is: Have fun with Detlef, and send us some feedback! If something does not work in this first version, please file a bug or even send a pull request - we are sure that we can iteratively improve the application to a point where it's the best podcatcher on Android.
