Banshee 0.12.0 (March 5, 2007)

Module Notes

  • 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: helix-banshee.helixcommunity.org

Cool New Features

Localization

  • Updated translations: Czech (Jakub Friedl), French (Stéphane Raimbault), Hungarian (Gabor Kelemen)

For all the Awesome Banshee Developers

  • Banshee 0.12.0 is now out in the wild. This release marks the official "start" of the stable series. The series has been frozen for the past few releases with only bug fixes and translation updates going in, but the 0.12.0 version seals the deal.
