New Release: Rsync for Tasker 0.7

• Added an automatic update check which shows a notification to download and install the update.
• Updated dependencies.

For full details and to download this release, see the Rsync for Tasker page.

New Release: Radio Downloader 0.36

The main change in this release is a switch from the .NET framework 2.0 to 4.5.2. This shouldn’t affect most existing users as this version of the .NET framework is installed by default in currently supported versions of Windows (and handled by mono under Linux), but it should hopefully make installing Radio Downloader easier for new users.

There are also a number of small bug fixes to keep things running more smoothly.

For full details and to download this release, see the Radio Downloader page.

New Release: Radio Downloader 0.34

This release contains the following enhancements:

• A ‘smart’ name column in the downloads list which shows both the programme and episode name.
• Reduced disk space usage with more efficient image storage and automatic pruning of never-downloaded programme data.
• Display of full details about podcast download errors.
• Support for Debian and Arch Linux based distributions. Radio Downloader is however less well tested under Linux so your bug reports are welcome.

Also included are fixes for a selection of different bugs discovered since the last release.

Please note that any advanced users who had previously configured DatabasePath in Radio Downloader.exe.config will need to configure the replacement AppDataDir setting instead.

For full details and to download this release, see the Radio Downloader page.

New Release: Radio Downloader 0.32

This release adds the following new features:

• An option to view the feed URL for favourites and subscriptions.
• Support for consuming and producing Podlove Simple Chapters data.
• The option to change the program database location (for advanced users).

This release also fixes a fair few bugs (most notably download errors connecting to servers only supporting TLS 1.1 and 1.2) and includes a number of enhancements, including an overhaul of the code which handles date stripping from episode titles.

There are also a number of changes ‘behind the scenes’ laying the groundwork so that Radio Downloader can run on Linux as well as Windows in the future.

Please note that the Windows installers are no-longer signed by my code signing certificate as the price of these has risen since the last release to the point that sadly I can no-longer justify the expense.

For full details and to download this release, see the Radio Downloader page.

New Release: BBC Graphics Viewer 3.0

This release doesn’t add much in the way of new features to the application itself, just the ability to save displayed images in formats other than Windows Bitmap. However, the big change is that it has been ported to the Qt framework so it can now run under Linux as well as Windows.

Additionally, there are .deb and .msi installable packages available for download for Debian-based Linux distributions and Windows respectively.

For full details and to download this release, see the BBC Graphics Viewer page.

Final issues added to 8BS Online Conversion

Hot on the heels of the last update, I’ve finished adding all of the remaining issues to the 8-Bit Software Magazine Online Conversion.

Now that all of the issues are online, I’ll continue to fix bugs and make enhancements to make the conversion easier to browse and display in a more authentic way.

Issues 49 and 50 added to 8BS Online Conversion

I’ve finally made another update to the 8-Bit Software Magazine Online Conversion, after a gap of nearly 5 years! Oops, where does the time go?

This time around, I’ve added Issue 49 (disc 1, disc 2) and Issue 50 (disc 1, disc 2), as well as taking advantage of browser improvements in recent years to make all of the Mode 7 pages quicker and less buggy and add the option of running each issue in a BBC Emulator (if you have a recent enough browser).

New Release: Radio Downloader 0.30

This release adds three main new features:

• Sorting in the Subscriptions list (contributed by Jon Egerton).
• Sorting in the Favourites list (contributed by Isabelle Riverain)
• An RSS server so that other applications or devices can consume downloaded content (proof of concept by Nick Sharples).

There are also a number of bug fixes and internal improvements - notably, there is a now a check at start-up to see if the application database has become corrupt and complex HTML in podcast descriptions is converted into more readable text.

For full details and to download this release, see the Radio Downloader page.

The Return of Radio Downloader

I’ve just released version 0.28 of Radio Downloader. Unfortunately, the main change in this release is the removal of the BBC Provider but there are also a couple of small bug fixes.

I have also taken the opportunity to move the source code from a Subversion repository on my desktop to a git repository on GitHub to make it easier to contribute. My plan is to also move the bugs from Bugzilla to use the GitHub issue tracker (if feasable), so please bear with me while I make these changes.

Radio Downloader 0.26.2

I have just released version 0.26.2 of Radio Downloader. This minor update fixes the layout of the BBC Radio Find Programme A-Z pages as well as a small number of other common crashes and reported issues with the previous version.

For full details of the changes in this release, please see the changelog.
