Dear gPodder users and developers,

A new release of gPodder is out (yay!). Version 3.4.0 "Quiet Earth"
has seen one of the longest release cycles (3 months) for gPodder (we
usually release once per month), and therefore also includes lots of
changes that should improve the overall experience and performance.
Some long-requested features such as offline mode and download
strategies have also been added. The details can be found below and on
http://gpodder.org/news

In addition to a new 3.x release, a bugfix-only maintenance release
for the 2.x series (Maemo 4 and Maemo 5) has also been released,
information about this release can be found on the gPodder website as
well. Please note that this new 2.x release is only recommended for
Maemo 4 and Maemo 5 users - those on the N800, N810 and N900. Users of
gPodder on the Desktop should use gPodder 3 (and should have actually
done so for a few months already).

Enjoy :)
Thomas
