Not SyncedWith me, I've got Nicholas once again,
from a Participatory Culture Foundation. -
Not SyncedThose are the guys who make
"Democracy Player". -
Not Synced-Nicholas, welcome!
-Hi, how are ya? -
Not SyncedDoing great, how about yourself?
-
Not SyncedBrilliant, thanks.
-
Not SyncedSo, you guys are on the cusp of
releasing Democracy Player 0.9.5, -
Not Syncedit just kinda rolls right off the tongue.
-
Not SyncedTell us a bit about this new release.
-
Not SyncedYeah, this is a big update for us,
-
Not Syncedit's the biggest update you'll see before
our 1.0 comes out. -
Not SyncedWe have a lot of important stuff in here,
a lot of it's behind the scenes, -
Not Syncedbut some of the stuff you'll notice
is a redesigned interface, -
Not Syncedit's smoother and simpler and slicker.
-
Not SyncedWe have some nice things like
the MAC users, -
Not Syncedit will generate thumbnails automatically.
-
Not SyncedIf you want to download a video and
don't have that yet for Windows or Linux, -
Not Syncedthat's something that
we're definitely working on. -
Not SyncedThere's proxy support,
better BitTorrent support. -
Not SyncedIt does a better job resuming downloads
if something gets interrupted. -
Not SyncedAnd all in all, I just think it's a
smoother and cleaner experience, -
Not Syncedand it's a big step towards
the update coming out. -
Not SyncedYou know, one thing I noticed is that as
each build keeps getting released, -
Not Syncedthe system seems to use less and less
RAM, and get faster and faster and faster -
Not Syncedin its ability to playback files
and download files. -
Not Synced'Cause I remember working with the beta,
I think it was 0.8 or something like that, -
Not Syncedand it was a pretty big RAM hog.
-
Not SyncedHow are you coming on with the
optimisation of Democracy at this point? -
Not SyncedThat's definitely a big focus for us as
you know with the past few versions -
Not Syncedwe've done a lot to reduce the number use,
improve the speed and that's -
Not Syncedgoing to be something
that we continue to work on. -
Not SyncedIt's not clear right now whether we will
be doing some big changes before -
Not Syncedor after 1.0, but, you know, over the next
6 months we're going to continue to see -
Not Syncedmuch better performance, but using less
resources, feeling faster more responsive. -
Not SyncedSo, we have to see that as important.
-
Not SyncedYou mentioned that this is one, at least
I believe you mentioned, that this is -
Not Syncedone of the final releases before 1.0
