Yes! We have just released Miro 2.5, a major update with new features, faster performance, audio podcasts, and lots of polish. Please help us spread the word, tweet about Miro 2.5.




Here are the biggest changes:

• Miro 2.5 launches 2 – 4 times faster (especially for users with lots of videos and feeds)


• New audio podcast section of the Miro Guide


• Better interface for audio playback


• Button to download from YouTube when you add as sidebar site – also see: 4 ways to download files (including torrents) from websites inside Miro


• Smarter handling of bittorrent files, especially videos


• New Library interface with ‘Video’, ‘Audio’, and ‘Other’ sections


• New keyboard shortcuts for virtually all functions (great for programming a remote control)


• Interface polish and refinement


• Easier hacking: the database layer was rewritten to use a simplified SQLite schema and we’ve created a new developer documentation site: Miro Developer Documentation v2.5 (more deets)


• Lots of bug fixes and tweaks


For a more complete list of what’s new and different, see the Miro 2.5 Release Notes.


Important Note: The refactored database sometimes takes a looong time (up to 12 minutes) to process on the first restart after the 2.5 upgrade. It’s especially noticeable if you have a large database, but will only happen once.
