Module Notes

  • WARNING: Banshee 0.11.4 has a lot of rough edges and may be fairly unstable! The release was made early to meet the SLED 10 SP1 feature complete deadline. Banshee 0.11.5 will be better suited for more widespread use. Distributions SHOULD NOT package this release!
  • The banshee-official-plugins module has been merged with core, so banshee-official-plugins is now obsolete.
  • libipoddevice (0.5.2) and ipod-sharp (0.6.2) are required for iPod support.
  • Helix support has been removed from core and is now available from the Helix Banshee community project. More information regarding Helix support can be found at: http://helix-banshee.helixcommunity.org
