Hello Thomas,
Congrats on the latest release, you've done A LOT of cool work :)
I decided to finally update my main workstation to the latest version of
gPodder, I must say it's very nice. I found one tiny little bug (patch
attached) but nothing trivial. The problem was when adding a new show and
there were no new episodes to be downloaded the wrong channel info was
displayed in the message box.
Thanks for all the new fun stuff!
nick
