A new fre:ac snapshot has been released and is now available for download. In snapshot 20130430 the playlist subsystem has been modularized and support for XSPF and PLS playlists added. It also features a new confirmation dialog for files to be overwritten in a conversion job. The new dialog is shown before the actual conversion starts and so eliminates blocking popups during mass conversion jobs.

The Linux packages should now work on most distributions and have been briefly tested on latest versions of Fedora, Mageia, Mint, Ubuntu, Debian and SUSE. Last but not least, fre:ac and BoCA components can now be installed in a Unix filesystem hierarchy. This greatly simplifies the build process and will allow to provide easily installable packages in the future.

Lots of bugs have been fixed since the previous snapshot and the new version should be quite stable already. However, please still remember that it is an alpha snapshot and probably not generally suitable for daily work!

The new snapshot is available in the downloads section.
