A big thanks to this article at The Open Sourcerer blog

We’re proud to release yet another gPodder version. This time, we call it the “Walk like a Panther” release for no obvious reason, and we also provide you with an official Maemo version of gPodder for all the Internet Tablet fanboys out there.

Here’s a list of the most important changes, for the full list of changes, please see the ChangeLog file in the released tarball. We’ve updated the list of contributors (patch writers, bug reporters and donators) in the about dialog for this version. If you know you should be on this list, but somehow aren’t, please get in touch, and we’ll add you.

You can grab the release tarball now, get the Maemo version from the Maemo repository (or use Application Manager if you already installed gPodder from the repository on your Internet Tablet) or wait until your distribution packages the new gPodder version for you Enjoy!

Thanks also to the people who sent donations during this release cycle – your support is greatly appreciated!
