No changes have been submitted for this release.

Changes: A crash at start up due to loading of the gtk1 config file when present was fixed. A possible buffer overflow in the vorbis input plugin was fixed. Other fixes include a new and updated Swedish translation and an updated man page. As the GTK2 interface is working reliably, this should be the last release candidate before 0.99.80.

Changes: The player has now a fully working GTK2 interface. It includes the same functionality as the GTK1 interface and some new functions (loop song and loop playlist). The playlist window has been completely rewritten, and is inside the main window. The scopes plugins have been migrated. A lot of debugging has been done. All users are encouraged to upgrade and to use the GTK2 interface.

Changes: This is a feature enhancement and minor bugfix release. It added basic keyboard navigation (skip, pause, etc.), loop mode (looping inside a selection), and speed changes one musical semitone or comma a time using the keyboard (handy for changing the key or tuning the song is played back in). Pressing the play button or key during playback now returns to the beginning of the song. A desktop file was added. Support for FLAC 1.3 and 1.4 was added to the FLAC input plugin.

Changes: Fixes were made to the "work in progress" GTK2 interface to get it to compile. A new man page from Debian was added. Fixes were made in the GTK interface, the ALSA output plugin, the CDDA (CDROM) input plugin, the text interface, the flac and audiofile input plugins, and the jack output. The duration in the display is now correct when playing mono files. Important security fixes were also done.

Agreed. The ability to edit your play list in real time would be nice too.

Word up. I totally agree. "Salsa." yeah.

Alsaplayer breaths quality.
The only thing lacking now is propper no nonsense playlist management/handling this would make it much more popular and usable. ( things like recursive adding of directory's containing media etc. are a must imo)
The pitch controll is really impressive though !
