Music Applet 2.4.0 released
Music Applet 2.4.0 has just been released. The main change is that it now supports the recently-released Banshee 1.0, in addition to older versions of Banshee. There’s also improved support for debugging crashes, as well as an updated Czech (cs) translation.
Unfortunately, the new version of Banshee doesn’t provide a way to manipulate song ratings. Once that gets fixed in Banshee, I’ll update Music Applet accordingly.
A few technical notes on Banshee 1.0 support: since this new version of Banshee completely changed its D-Bus interface, there’s now two plugins for Banshee: the old one and the new one. While it’s inelegant to have two plugins for what the user sees as one program, it’s the only reasonable technical solution, given that the two versions of Banshee are completely different as far as Music Applet is concerned. If you have problems with Banshee support after upgrading the applet, check to make sure the new plugin (now called “Banshee”) is enabled. The old plugin has been renamed “Banshee (pre-1.0)”. I have no plans to remove support for old versions of Banshee any time soon.
