Banshee 0.10.5 (February 6, 2006)

Synopsis

This release features a new database layer, which addresses potential locking issues in 0.10.4. A new official plugin was added that allows for special multimedia key support, configurable through the Gnome keyboard shortcuts capplet.

Notes

This release contains mainly bug fixes. Gtk# 2.8 and GTK+ 2.8 is now a requirement as Gtk# 2.8 is now stable and most distributions should be shipping it.

New Features

  • New queued/single-threaded database layer; much safer and potentially faster in some areas
  • Multimedia keys plugin by Danilo Reinhardt
  • Improved custom source API. Sources can now provide custom or hybrid views. See the banshee-sample-plugin module in Banshee subversion: 
svn://svn.banshee-project.org/trunk/banshee-sample-plugin
  • Improved search entry; uses stock/theme icons now
  • Improved volume widget; +/- are now clickable (Ruben Vermeersch)
  • Banshee now shows up in process listings (top, gnome system monitor) as 'banshee' (not 'mono'); and killall banshee will now work
