I've pushed the first test version of gPodder 2.0 for Fremantle to Extras-Devel. The autobuilder liked it, and so it should be available the next time you update your apt cache for Extras-Devel.



You can read about some of the changes to the UI.

If you upgrade from an older version of gPodder, it's best to start afresh by removing the gpodder.conf file in $HOME (in the X Terminal, type: rm ~/.config/gpodder/gpodder.conf), so it gets re-initialized with sane default values on the next start. Before the next start, you should move your downloads folder to MyDocs/Podcasts (if your downloads are in /home/user/gPodder-Downloads, type in X Terminal: mv ~/gPodder-Downloads ~/MyDocs/Podcasts).

If you don't care about your old subscriptions, downloads and settings, you can use the command "gpodder-backup --purge" to remove all downloads and settings (be careful! ).

After that, you should be good to go. Some of the new features you should try out and tell me if they work on the device:

• Automatic screen rotation (Portrait mode)
• YouTube user channels (e.g. NokiaConversations or Rocketboom)
• Filters in the AppMenu (podcast/episode list)
• Visiting URLs (should open in web browser)
• Opening audio and video files (should open in media player)
