2008-07-11 - Elisa 0.5.1 released

The Elisa team is hereby announcing a first official release of Elisa Media Center 0.5.1, code-named Como se pasa. It works under Windows Vista and XP, as well as the main Linux distributions.

This is the first public release of the new software architecture, which significantly improves and ease development of new plugins, skins and GUI.

As of new features, you can now add directories where you store your media to more successfully access all your media content. A "fast-scrolling bar" has been added to the interface, allowing you to quickly move across large numbers of songs or movies to find the one you're looking for. YouTube should now play higher quality clips, if such are available from the online service. Feedback has been added when media codecs are not supported, folders are empty, new versions are available etc.

With Elisa, a new version of Pigment has also been released, code-named Niko Bellic version 0.3.6. It contains a long list of new features, including rotations in 3D, OpenGL-ES support, touchscreen support, etc. Find the Pigment release at https://code.fluendo.com/pigment/trac/wiki.

There are still some known issues in the 0.5.1 release of Elisa, and we are working on solving them as fast as possible:
  • Artists/Albums is not correctly parsed and displayed
  • Audio Visualization does not work on Windows
  • Audio CD is not detected
  • DAAP client missing under Windows
  • USB storage devices do not show up under Linux
