Howdy everyone, just wanted to mark your collective card about the release of the new Gpodder version 0.15.0 today. It looks like a great release and fixes 2 major bugs which have bothered some people for quite a while. Firstly the file naming scheme which we discussed with Thomas Perl (lead developer) on Linux Outlaws back in December. I had found this somewhat annoying myself and I’m pleased to see it sorted, credit to all concerned for that. The other major change is support for resuming of file downloads for those not fortunate enough to be on a fast Internet connection. I’m a big fan of Gpodder as a podcast client on Linux and it’s well worth a look if you haven’t tried it, you can also get a package for Maemo if you have a Nokia Internet tablet. There’s a decent range of packages on the site which can be installed with one click, so what have you got to lose? Nada.
