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.

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.

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.

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.
