============================
1) What's new in version 0.7
============================
There's been MUCH work going on in gPodder 0.7, and you can clearly
see the improvements. For more information, look at the gPodder homepage.
Highlights of this release include:
* Very stable download handling - finally
* Graphical selection of audio players that are installed on system
* Internationalization support! (German and French supported at the moment)
* iTunes image ("Cover") support in the channel editor
* Better handling of malformed (or complicated) XML RSS feeds
* iPod synchronization support (Yay!) - requires optional libraries
* Code clean-ups and refinements
* New features and new bugs - included!
===============
2) Dependencies
===============
Debian/Ubuntu users can install the dependencies with:
apt-get install python python-glade2 python-gtk2 wget python-xml
If you want to have iPod synchronization support, you will also
have to install the following OPTIONAL packages:
* python-eyed3 (eyeD3 Python bindings)
* python-gpod (libgpod's Python bindings)
Other users: Please install the above packages somehow ;)
If you want to install gPodder from source, you have to
get the following packages:
apt-get install help2man python-dev intltool
Debian developers should install these additional packages:
apt-get install devscripts debhelper fakeroot
=====================
3) How to run/install
=====================
Extract the tar archive somewhere into your home directory and cd into
the directory where you extracted it, for example:
tar xzvf gpodder-0.7.tar.gz
cd gpodder-0.7/
After that you can start gPodder by starting it with the following
command:
make test
If this works out, close gPodder again and install it system-wide:
sudo make install
This will install gPodder in standard locations. After the installation
routine (hopefully) finished successfully, you might run gPodder from
any path on your machine by simply typing:
gpodder
If you have any problems, please visit the gPodder website or mail the
gPodder mailing list (see below for more information).
=============
4) How to use
=============
gPodder was designed with usability in mind. Saying that gPodder is
self-explaining saves me from writing long documentation. Watch out
for the gPodder website. If you need more information, please mail
our gPodder mailing list :)
=============
5) Known bugs
=============
No known bug so far. Please mail the mailing list or the author directly
to report bugs - we'll try to fix them in the next release :) Thanks!
=========================================
6) Feature requests, bug reports, patches
=========================================
Feel free to mail me about feature requests, bug reports, patches or nearly
anything that comes to your mind relating gPodder:
Author's eMail: thp@perli.net
gPodder homepage: http://perli.net/projekte/gpodder/

And last but not least... have fun with gPodder :)
