Elisa Media Center 0.5.10 Release

[Florian Boucault]

Dear Elisa users,

The Elisa team is happy to announce the release of Elisa Media Center
0.5.10 codenamed "Fallout".

A very important and long awaited improvement of this release is the
rewrite from scratch of the video, audio and slideshow players user
interface. The team is proud to present a brand new look with a strong
focus on aesthetics and extensibility; it is fully pluggable and new
controls can easily be added via plugins.

A fair number of bugs were also fixed during this cycle (14
bugs).

On top of these bug fixes, this release also introduces the following
new features:

- Scanning of media now indexes videos and generates sensible automatic
  playlists such as Unwatched Videos, Recently Added Videos, Recently
Watched,
  etc.
- Window control buttons: iconify, maximize, close
- Visual display of the source of media (Local Network, Computer,
  Web Service,etc.)
- New D-Bus API to navigate automatically to specific sections of Elisa
- Removal of media from the library (optional via configuration option)


Installers and sources can be downloaded from

Have a nice evening,
