Dear Python users, After a quite silent month (during which we did not remain completely inactive), the Elisa team is happy to announce the release of Elisa Media Center 0.5.23, code-named "Play The Game". Elisa is a cross-platform and open-source Media Center written in Python. It uses GStreamer [1] for media playback and pigment [2] to create an appealing and intuitive user interface. The main highlight of this release feature-wise is on the plugins installation: plugin updates will now be silently installed by default as well as new recommended plugins. New configuration options allow to tune this default behaviour. On windows, Elisa is now able to restart by itself after installing plugin updates. As usual, a handful of bugs were fixed, a complete list can be found at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/elisa/+milestone/0.5.23 Installers and sources can be downloaded from http://elisa.fluendo.com/download/ Bug reports and feature requests are welcome at http://bugs.launchpad.net/elisa/+filebug Have a media-centered and happy new year, The Elisa team [1] http://www.gstreamer.net/ [2] https://code.fluendo.com/pigment/trac Elisa 0.5.23 "Play The Game" ============================ This is Elisa 0.5.23, twenty-third release of the 0.5 branch.
