This version adds support for LdPic format compressed images, as well as the existing memory dump image support. It also includes native support for 64-bit platforms and a number of internal enhancements.

I’ve just released a minor update to Radio Downloader. The application code is unchanged from version 0.10, but I have updated the bundled Mplayer binary to a full build instead of the smaller one that I was using before.
This should resolve the issue that I previously mentioned with international users incorrectly getting AAC streams transcoded to mono.
I’ve just added Issues 62 and 61 to the 8-Bit Software Magazine Online Conversion. As the amount of bugs I encounter adding each issue seems to be reducing, I’ve added two new issues this time.
Today I have released version 0.10 of Radio Downloader. This release removes the final dependencies on the BBC’s Real Audio streams by implementing re-encoding MP3 streams to different bitrates, and falling back to encoding AAC streams to MP3 if there are no MP3 streams available (such as currently for a number of episodes for users outside the UK).
For full details of what has changed in this release, please see the changelog.
I’ve just added Issue 63 to the 8-Bit Software Magazine Online Conversion. I’ve not made any other changes or bug fixes to the conversion this time around.
I have just released version 0.8.4 of Radio Downloader. This is the second bugfix release in the 0.8 series, and does not include any new features.
The fixes in this release allow the most commonly reported MP3 download errors to display informative error messages. For full details, check out the changelog.
I’ve just updated the 8-Bit Software Magazine Online Conversion to include Issue 66. I have also tweaked the navigation to be clearer and enable navigating from an item to its parent magazine instead of just up to the index.
Today I have released version 0.8.2 of Radio Downloader. This is a bugfix release, and does not include any new features.
Most of the fixes relate to direct MP3 downloads, but there is also a fix for a crash caused by a missing My Documents folder. For full details, check out the changelog.
I’ve just updated the 8-Bit Software Magazine Online Conversion to include Issue 65. Another update is a fix for the mapping of fraction characters and pipes in the converted Mode 7 pages.
I’m pleased to announce the release of Radio Downloader 0.8. The main feature added with this release is that BBC Radio programmes are directly downloaded as MP3 instead of Real Audio. This requires far less CPU power, and is able to download BBC Local and Nations Radio programmes again.
The direct MP3 download does not currently support re-encoding the downloaded MP3 files to other bitrates and frequencies, so I have added a setting in the BBC Provider options to disable the direct download option for users who require this.
This release also brings a small number of other bug fixes and enhancements, which you can find in the changelog.
