NEW AWESOME FEATURES AND ENHANCEMENTS
===============================================================================
- Banshee 1.8 is a stable release, the culmination of six month's work by 67
- programmers, artists, documentation writers, and translators. These
- notes aggregate the highlights from the 1.7 development releases.
+ Banshee 1.9.0 is a development release, the first of the 1.9.x series
+ leading up to Banshee 2.0.
- New Features Since 1.6:
+ New Features Since 1.8.0:
- * Integrated AmazonMP3 Store
+ * Artist/Album Browser Track Actions
- Browse, search, preview, buy, and download music straight into
- your Banshee library from the US, UK, FR, DE, and JP AmazonMP3
- stores. See http://abock.org/2010/07/13/amazon-mp3-store-in-banshee
+ Track actions (play, queue, remove, delete, edit, properties)
+ now work for the artist and album browser too! Right click an
+ artist or album to act on it, or click an album and press 'q' to
+ queue it.
- * Miro Guide Podcast Directory
+ * 'Play After' Queue Options
- Browse and subscribe to thousands of audio and video podcasts
- listed on the non-profit run MiroGuide.com.
+ Want to listen to a track, album, or artist right after the playing
+ track, album, or artist? The 'Play After' option will insert it
+ into the queue to make it happen.
- * Improved Apple Device Support
+ * User Interface Improvements
- iPhone, iTouch, iPad, and iPod devices are now supported via the
- awesome libgpod library.
+ We have made several changes toward a cleaner and more usable UI.
+ We got rid of the active source's title bar. Search is now beside
+ the volume button. The source list has smaller icons, hidden
+ counts for the libraries, and named group-separators. The seek
+ slider and search entry are resizable via their grips.
- * Revamped Hardware Backend
-
- Uses the latest Linux hardware stack, a combination of GIO, udev, and
- media-player-info files, to provide support for CDs and
- digital audio players.
-
- * Keybinding for Switching Sources
-
- Typing 'g' activates the source switcher, where you can type the name
- of a source to switch to it. You can type its acronym or a substring
- as well. As soon as only one source matches, it will be activated.
- For example, you can type 'g' and then 'np' to switch to Now Playing.
-
- * Improved Audiobook Support
-
- The Audiobooks library is now enabled by default, and audiobook
- tracks are now better organized into books. The last position in
- each book is automatically saved, so you can resume playing a book
- right from where you stopped.
-
- * User Manual
-
- Available via Help » Contents menu and F1. Uses the latest
- GNOME documentation technology, Mallard.
-
- * Bulk Metadata Fixer
-
- New extension for bulk metadata fixing to merge artists, albums,
- and genres that vary only by case, '&' vs 'and', etc.
-
- * MPRIS v2 support (Ubuntu Sound Menu, etc)
+ Podcasts episodes are now shown in a grid, with several lines of
+ description shown to help you find an appealing episode to enjoy.
