Entertainer 0.3 Released

Written for Entertainer Media Center by Paul Hummer on 2009-01-07

After much blood, sweat, and tears (more than any developers cares to admit), Entertainer 0.3 Turku has been released! Turku is the hometown of Entertainer's original developer, Lauri Taimila.

Wait?! You say we can't count? You say we skipped a 0.2 release? No, there is a 0.2 tarball that is available, but due to the release of Intrepid Ibex, 0.2 was a still born release due to its incompatibility with the current stable version of clutter. 0.3 is compatible with clutter 0.8

Notable changes in this release are:

  - Significant memory reduction due to large changes in the presentation code.
  - The backend no longer re-indexes media on every startup (safe for solid state drives!)
  - Full translations in French and Spanish, and partial translations in many other languages
  - Entertainer is no longer dependent on the pyinotify library

This release marks a turning point for Entertainer development. Entertainer releases will now be monthly releases, so bugs will have a quicker turnaround from filed, to fixed, to released! Thanks goes to all the Entertainer developers for working so hard on this release!
