Radio Downloader 0.6

Today I have released a new version of Radio Downloader. This resolves an issue with available episodes for a limited number of BBC programmes not being found, as well as fixing the most commonly reported error encountered when downloading programmes.

This release also adds the ability to use sub-folders in the downloaded programme file name template, and a number of other fixes and enhancements, which you can find in the changelog.

Please Note: There is a data loss bug in older versions of Radio Downloader, which causes the program database to become corrupted when updating between versions. This is fixed in version 0.6, but reverting to an older release of Radio Downloader (which is normally something that I would advise against) will cause your database to become permanently corrupted!

Radio Downloader 0.5.10

I’ve just released a small update to Radio Downloader. This release fixes the problem with selecting new multi-episode programmes that I mentioned previously.

This release is the first to benefit from the recent changes to the installer - just download and run the installer, and the old version will be uninstalled automatically.

Radio Downloader 0.5.8

I’m pleased to announce the release of Radio Downloader 0.5.8. This fixes the problems with browsing for BBC Radio programmes, and adds the ability to specify the MP3 encoding options for BBC Radio programmes. It also includes quite a number of other bugfixes and enhancements which you can find in the changelog.

This release also removes the automatic update feature, as it was unfortunately proving too time consuming and difficult to support. However, Radio Downloader will still notify you of new versions, and you can be kept up to date with the new Radio Downloader news feed. To make the process of installing updated versions easier, I’ve streamlined the installer and laid the groundwork for future releases to be installed without having to uninstall the old version first.

Radio Downloader 0.5.4

Today I have released an update to Radio Downloader. This is mostly a bugfix release, which should also resolve the problem selecting or downloading any BBC Radio programmes - see the changelog for full details.

This release should also fix an issue experienced by some users, which causes updates to repeatedly fail.  If you are currently experiencing this problem, uninstall Radio Downloader and download and install the latest version (this will not lose the items in your downloads or subscriptions list).

If you find Radio Downloader useful, I would very much appreciate your donations to cover my costs.

Radio Downloader 0.5.3.1

Today I have made available a point release of Radio Downloader. This fixes a crash when minimizing the application (sorry!), as well as resolving a small problem with the statistics in the Downloads view.

Radio Downloader 0.5.3

I have just released an update to Radio Downloader, which mostly contains interface improvements postponed from previous releases. These should particularly benefit Windows Vista users, although there are also improvements for users on XP and 2000 as well.

This release also fixes some reported bugs relating to database compaction - see the changelog for full details.

I have also taken the opportunity to put together a help page for Radio Downloader, with some basic information to assist users.

Radio Downloader 0.5.2.1

Today I have made available a point release of Radio Downloader. This fixes a problem with selecting new BBC Radio programmes, as well as resolving an issue some users experienced when upgrading to the 0.5.* series.

Radio Downloader 0.5.2

Today I released a bugfix update to Radio Downloader. This fixes a problem experienced by some users when finding new BBC Radio Programmes. Check out the changelog for full details.

Radio Downloader 0.5.1

I have just released a minor update to Radio Downloader. This addresses the most pressing issues with the 0.5.0 release, namely adding a proper interface for finding BBC Radio programmes and reverting the file naming behaviour to the same as previous releases (but with new extra options).

Radio Downloader 0.5

Today I have released a major update to Radio Downloader. The main areas of change relate to how it stores data and interacts with plugins.

Due to the fact that the previous version had stopped working properly with the BBC’s Listen Again service, this release has been put out with a number of rough edges, which include the following known issues:

• Some BBC Radio subscriptions may be lost in the upgrade as there is not a one-to-one mapping with the old and new subscription systems.
• Recent episodes of successfully transferred subscriptions will be re-downloaded, as the program will not know they have already been downloaded.
• The interface for finding new BBC Radio programmes is very basic. This will be overhauled in future versions.
