Hey there! This is just a quick release push for the next version of gPodder, so it gets more public exposure. Also, this release fixes some annoying bugs that have been in 0.16.1 and have not been fixed in a public release since then, so this should allow many users to have a better gPodder experience. Thanks to all who were involved with this release! Anyone willing to join the release management and learn how to package gPodder is invited to write a short mail to me. Thanks, Thomas --- 2009-07-27: gPodder 0.17.0 "Orientation" released Even though the summer is hot, and updates are slow, we are proud to give you yet another great gPodder release with some bug fixes and improvements to the efficiency of the feed updating code. Here's what's happened: Bernd Schlapsi (1): corrected an error happened in commit 41b6e827c Bill Peters (1): Changes made to exclude *.dat files from the edit device playlist util. I did this because my Blackberry mp3 device creates a BBThumbs.dat file in every podcast folder. Not sure if this is the best way to solve it but it does the job for me.
