Hello!

I've released the current svn trunk head as gPodder 0.9.5. The next
release will be based on my experimental version, so for all of you
using the Subversion release, you can either go to gPodder 0.9.5 which
will be more stable during development, or switch to the experimental
version when we have fixed some more bugs.

If you want to help gPodder evolve, start testing the experimental
version soon, I'd love to hear feedback and fix obvious bugs that are
visible for your feeds, but not for mine ;)

Of course, you can still support gpodder by having a look at my Amazon
wishlist, by contributing through bug reports, documentation and patches
or by a donation:

======================

I'm glad to announce a new gPodder release. This release focuses mainly
on stability, code clean-ups and bugfixes. This version marks the last
release closely based on previous releases: The next release version of
gPodder will be based on a version between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5, but has
undergone massive re-organization and simplification allowing many cool
features.

But for now, gPodder 0.9.5 is what you get and it's strongly recommended
to upgrade to this version to get all bug fixes and compatibilty
upgrades that will make the upgrade to the next version as seamless as
possible (hopefully ;). Grab your copy now or wait until your
distribution publishes a package.
