  **Killer update!**

What ever you've done has been a major improvement, LOLz guess it wasn't 
my script after all.

Coolness, I'll post it before bed tonight... assuming there is still any 
interest / need for a script that will allow gpodder to run & sync from 
the cli.  My script can run as a cronjob or interactively.  It will move 
podcasts from gPodder's hash based directory / filename structure to a 
browseable format.  It supports tons of options.  I'll include a copy of 
the `--help` output in my e-mail, later.

But what ever you've improved is hella cool &magor improvements.  
Seriously it deserves a 0.12 release, or at least 0.11.3, which ever 
version number this is a drastic and I've run it more than 30 times 
through a full sync of >350 feeds &its remained completely stable.  
Seriously, killer update Thomas: major personal thank yous.

I hope you/everyone is doing wonderfully; please take care,
