Yes! We have just released Miro 2.5, a major update with new features, faster performance, audio podcasts, and lots of polish. Please help us spread the word, tweet about Miro 2.5.
Here are the biggest changes:
• Miro 2.5 launches 2 – 4 times faster (especially for users with lots of videos and feeds)
• New audio podcast section of the Miro Guide
• Better interface for audio playback
• Button to download from YouTube when you add as sidebar site – also see: 4 ways to download files (including torrents) from websites inside Miro
• Smarter handling of bittorrent files, especially videos
• New Library interface with ‘Video’, ‘Audio’, and ‘Other’ sections
• New keyboard shortcuts for virtually all functions (great for programming a remote control)
• Interface polish and refinement
• Easier hacking: the database layer was rewritten to use a simplified SQLite schema and we’ve created a new developer documentation site: Miro Developer Documentation v2.5 (more deets)
• Lots of bug fixes and tweaks
For a more complete list of what’s new and different, see the Miro 2.5 Release Notes.
Important Note: The refactored database sometimes takes a looong time (up to 12 minutes) to process on the first restart after the 2.5 upgrade. It’s especially noticeable if you have a large database, but will only happen once.
