  • The QML UI for MeeGo Harmattan has a new multi-selection list for episodes, allowing multi-episode actions to be carried out.

New in gPodder 3.1.0 (Mar 27, 2012)

  • A new release of gPodder is out. This version brings the new extensions system, with already quite a few of the old "hooks" ported. The extensions framework will also be used to bring back MP3 player sync capabilities in future versions, but this feature didn't make it into 3.1.0. Other changes include a re-designed and improved QML UI for MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan (with the ability to lock the screen into portrait-only mode), and various improvements to the Gtk UI, including a live "progress icon" in the episode list for downloads in progress. Windows users will be happy to know that gPodder now checks for updates and offers to download a newer version when one is available (this feature can be disabled in the configuration). The configuration is now saved in a JSON file instead of a .ini-style file to accomodate for the flexible configuration options of the new extension modules.

New in gPodder 3.0.4 (Jan 25, 2012)

  • Various improvements to the QML UI (for MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan on the Nokia N9) and the text mode interface (CLI) with new features such as gpodder.net searching from the command line, a play queue for the QML UI, and episode list filtering.

New in gPodder 3.0.0 (Nov 7, 2011)

  • Device synchronization removed: We have removed the ability to sync to iPod, MTP and filesystem-based MP3 players. You can store your gPodder data on your mobile device directly for now (using $GPODDER_HOME) or wait for someone to implement a syncing plugin.
  • New on-disk structure: Instead of having "gpodder-downloads" in your home folder, and the database and settings hidden away in another folder, all gPodder data is now stored in "gPodder" in your home directory (on Linux) or in "gPodder" in you "My Documents" folder (on Windows) or on the mass storage (MyDocs partition) on the N900 and N9. The database format has also been overhauled, you can use the "gpodder-migrate2tres" script to convert your gPodder 2 data to gPodder 3. Because all data is now stored in one folder, you can now use the Desktop version of gPodder to work on e.g. the gPodder downloaded data on your mobile device by pointing the $GPODDER_HOME environment variable to the storage device.
  • EQL: The so-called "Episode Query Language" allows you to write queries against your podcasts. For example, you can use "(audio and downloaded and minutes < 10)" to show all downloaded audio files that are shorter than 10 minutes to listen to. This is very powerful, and can currently be used in the episode list of the GTK UI using "search-as-you-type".
  • Improvements to the GTK UI, including support for showing the duration in the episode list, and hiding of columns in the episode list.
  • New QML-based touch UI: In addition to the GTK UI and the command-line interface, gPodder 3 contains a QML UI for use with PySide. This UI can be used on touch-enabled netbooks/laptops and on mobile devices. The QML UI is the only mobile UI supported in 3.0.0 (replacing the Hildon UI in previous releases).
  • Web UI: While this is still in its early stages, there is a small Web UI included that (when complete) will make it possible to manage gPodder via a web browser (with the help of a local, embedded web server).
  • Refined backend / data model: The codebase has been cleaned up and restructured, so it should be easier to maintain and add to in the future.
  • Support for Woodchuck: Neal Walfield has contributed a plugin for his Woodchuck framework. With Woodchuck installed, your device can detect which podcasts you like and automatically download the right episodes.
  • Better support for Windows: The Windows launcher has been refined, and Windows users can now also use the CLI in addition to the GTK GUI. The new version will also use a system-wide installation of Python 2.7 and PyGTK, and auto-download the installers for these dependencies if they are not found. This means smaller package sizes and better disk usage.
  • Dropped support for Maemo 4 (N800, N810) and Maemo 5 Hildon (N900)
  • Added support for Maemo 5 QML (N900) and MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan (N9)

New in gPodder 2.18 (Aug 9, 2011)

  • Due to a problem with using the Transifex client for pulling in new translations into our repository before the last release, gPodder 2.17 was missing some translations that existed in previous versions. This release - gPodder 2.18 - fixes this issue and re-adds all missing translations. The YouTube bugfix that has been the reason for the 2.17 release is obviously also included in this release.

New in gPodder 2.17 (Aug 4, 2011)

  • This is a bugfix release in the 2.x release series, which fixes downloads of YouTube videos. It is recommended for all users.

New in gPodder 2.16 (Jul 8, 2011)

  • It has been over two months, but don't forget that we've been working hard on getting the "tres" branch ready for some action, also. In the mean time, several bug fixes have accumulated for our stable 2.x branch, and so it's once again time to release these into the wild.

New in gPodder 2.15 (May 4, 2011)

  • This is a bugfix release, fixing problems when saving episodes to folders.
  • It also removes GStreamer-based track length detection, as it produced crashes for some users.
  • Description parsing and Windows support have also been improved.
  • For upgrades from older installations, the database schema is repaired to allow multiple GUIDs in different podcasts.

  • Empty databases after a failed upgrade are fixed by gPodder 2.12

New in gPodder 2.11 (Dec 20, 2010)

  • A new bugfix release of gPodder is out, fixing (among other things) the YouTube downloads, as YouTube decided to deprecate the old download URLs. We also took the opportunity to fix some other bugs, and added support for file:// URLs for local feeds. As Transifex broke VCS integration with their update, there are no updated translations in this release, but I'll try to fix that at some point in the future when I got some time to set up Transifex again.

New in gPodder 2.7 (Jul 8, 2010)

  • We're back! The summer holidays are in full swing, and this gave us the opportunity to fix-up the last open bugs and feature requests queued for this release, and we throw in a special feature for all Maemo 4 users: the "Send to Bluetooth device" feature is now available to Maemo 4 users as well (previously, only users of th Desktop version were able to use this feature).
  • So, what has changed over the last few weeks? First of all, you get the usual load of translation updates (this time we've warned our translators in time, so you should get 100% of the strings translated for the active translations). If gPodder isn't translated 100% into your mother tongue, please get in touch and submit the translations using Transifex.
  • Apart from the translations, we also have implemented some neat features, like auto-detection on Maemo (so you don't have to specify --maemo or --fremantle on the command line to get the correct interface to show up) and support for merging of received episode actions (from gpodder.net) into the local database.
  • In response to user input for the Maemo 5 (N900) version of gPodder, we have fixed several bugs, and slipstreamed the UI even further - menus and buttons should now be more consistent with the rest of the system.
  • As this is the first version of gPodder to fully integrate with the upcoming release of Panucci (a podcast player with support for bookmarks and resuming), gPodder not only communicates with Panucci directly over D-Bus, but it also remembers the total duration and the current position of an episode. This information is shown in the Maemo 5 UI already, and it is planned to make it more visible in the Desktop version as well in a future release.
  • One feature that was missing from the last few versions has been re-introduced thanks to a patch by Robert Willert: The device configuration UI, which allows you to select the type and mount point of your portable MP3 player device for the Desktop version of gPodder.
  • For advanced users, this release brings initial support for so-called "user hooks", a feature implemented by Justin Forest. This allows you to write Python scripts that have hooks for different situations which will get called from within gPodder - this allows you to further customize gPodder. If you have written a good user hook, please share it on the mailing list or bug tracker, so that other users can make good use of it (maybe we can also include them as example hook scripts in the next release if it's of general use).
  • Last but not least, you can now transfer a single podcast to your MP3 player via the newly-added "Transfer" menu item in the podcast list context menu. As with every release, this one also includes a bunch of fixes and optimizations since the last release. If you find bugs, don't keep them to yourself, but report them over at bugs.gpodder.org.
  • You will find the source tarball on the downloads page, and expect packages for Maemo, Debian and Ubuntu soon.
