Entertainer 0.5 Released
Written for Entertainer Media Center by Matt Layman on 2010-04-11
The Entertainer developers are proud to announce the release of Entertainer 0.5, Boreas [1]. Some highlights of new things in 0.5 include:
* All widgets in the interface are now mouse/touchscreen enabled. The interface still requires the keyboard for some important operations (like returning to a previous screen), but the groundwork was laid to get Entertainer working on tablet style devices.
* A consolidated setup interface. Preferences and content are now managed in a single setup application. The new setup is available in `entertainer-
* Upgraded the code to be compatible with the clutter 1.0 series. Since the clutter team has made a commitment to be API compatible for the 1.0 series, the development team should not have to make all the changes that have been required as clutter has been maturing.
Please remember that Entertainer is still considered alpha software. Any help from the community will be appreciated. Please come join us on the mailing list [2] or our IRC channel (#entertainer) on the Freenode network (irc.freenode.net). We would love to help you get involved.
You can download the source tarball from our downloads page [3] or wait for a little while until the team can build a PPA for 0.5 to enable downloading from the package manager.
