Elisa Media Center 0.5.13 Release

[Florian Boucault]

Dear Elisa users,

The Elisa team is happy to announce the release of Elisa Media Center
0.5.13, code-named "Sergeant Colon".

A few new features have been implemented during this cycle when the team
was focused on fixing more than 20 bugs. Here are the main highlights:
- Generic support for favourites (with a first proof-of-concept
implementation for the Yes.fm plugin)
- Improved usability when browsing folders for additions to the
collection
- Play files launching Elisa from the command line, this will allow a
better desktop integration by enabling Elisa as the default media player


A complete list of the new features and bugs fixed by this release is
available at:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/elisa/+milestone/0.5.13


Installers and sources can be downloaded from

Have a nice evening,

The Elisa team
