Known problems
- Main window uses GtkPaned [1]
- Podcast directory dialog uses GtkNotebook [2] -- bug 4690 has a solution; still needs implementation
Fixed problems/ChangeLog
- The AppMenu is now shown in beta2 and (hopefully) on devices (fixed in 0.16.1-7fremantleui)
- Installation fails on postinst[3] (fixed in 0.16.1-3fremantleui)
- Don't use "I" while writing messages from software (bug 4684; fixed in 0.16.1-4fremantleui)
- Several UI bugs/annoyances (Maemo bugs 4686, 4687, 4688 and 4689; fixed in 0.16.1-5fremantleui)
- Welcome window now works again (fixed in 0.16.1-6fremantleui)
Planned/Ideas
- Integration with MAFW (downloaded episodes as MafwSource/MafwPlaylist?) -- depends on bug 4675
- Automatic updating in the background (depending on cellular/wlan connection?)
- Tablet-related content (Tablet School video podcast?) -- needs content publishers to provide their content as video podcast
Need Help
- Playback + Streaming (How to interface with the Media Player in Maemo 5?)
- Better podcast directory - please suggest feeds[4]
- HTML shownotes - is there a "good" HTML widget for PyMaemo?
- UI feedback
