Banshee 0.10.6 (February 13, 2006)

Synopsis

This release features much improved iPod support. A few large bugs were fixed regarding iPod syncing, and a database reconstruction was added if Banshee ever encounters an iPod database it cannot read (iTunes frequently updates the database format).

Notes

This release requires ipod-sharp 0.5.15 for iPod support. Installing libipoddevice 0.4.1 is recommended (especially if you have HAL 0.5.6+), though not required.

New Features

  • If an unsupported iPod database is encountered, Banshee will offer to scan the iPod and reconstruct a database; either way, unsupported database errors are handled very gracefully now
  • Use cover.jpg/folder.jpg and others as cover art if it exists
  • Improved startup time
  • Thai translation by Theppitak Karoonboonyanan
  • ipod-sharp now has fixed logic for syncing, fixes a few bugs
  • libipoddevice 0.4.1 can be used which now supports ejecting over HAL/DBus
