Special thanks to the new team member rom1dep for its precious work and all users who gives us feedback while using xtrememp.

See the changelog for a detailed summary of the changes.

Development Diary (March 21, 2009)
Version 0.6.5 is currently under development and will include many changes.

Summary of changes (under progress):
  • code cleanup
  • updating the visualization system in order to better visualize audio data by improving accuracy and performance
  • incresse the audio buffer size in the player engine in order to prevent pauses when the CPU is working too much
  • regression - sometimes when seeking an mp3 audio file the player stops and begin to play the next track in the playlist (introduced in v0.6.2)
  • some user interface changes
  • other changes and bug fixes

Version 0.6.3 released (January 31, 2009)
This is primarily a bug-fix release to significantly improve stability and usability by using less the CPU and paying attention on using system resources, but includes some new features too. The main new feature is the Preferences dialog that let the user to customize the entire application. For now only few options where implemented (change the language, change the skin, enable or disable automatic updates at startup, change the cache directory that by default is the home user directory). But the most important one is is the having the possibility now to choose the audio playback device (mixer) in the audio settings. For users that want to use xtrememp as a portable application (on a USB device for example) I suggest to extract the content of the binary release and than change the cache directory to the same folder. If any bug is found send me an email or use the tracker by also attaching the log file located in the cache directory "xtrememp.log" in order to better understand where the problem is and try fixing it in less time possible. I will continue to add more useful options to the preferences dialog but also like the idea to let the user decide what they want, so feel free to contact me. Stay tuned.

See the changelog for a detailed summary of the changes.

Version 0.6.2 released (December 5, 2008)
Another micro release that includes many bug fixes and improvements. See the changelog for a detailed summary of the changes.
This release also includes some bugfixes for the Linux Platform (related to playlist loading and drag and drop support) and for the first time xtrememp is now distributed as a debian package. The deb package is under beta state and is tested for now only on Ubuntu Linux. Feedback is really appreciated (by sending an email).
The Windows Installer Package is currently under development and will released in future versions.
