I agree recent SVNs have started to shape up really well. I had a strange problem with BBC1 idents jerking for over a year, never bothered to report it but found it fixed a months ago. The music section is loads better, the TV server is simply amazing in concept and execution.
A huge and congratulations. It's sad to see that some open source coders never make it/brave it to go 1.0, so this is also worthy of respect.
1.0 is a far more symbolic gesture than anything to do with technology, and it's great to see confident actions.
I just would like to say its been a long road to this point and I would like to say thank you so much for making my Movie watching experiences so much greater with this great piece of software. I love the overall effect when I show this off to all my friends and family thanks again.
