The popular ‘do-everything’ cross-platform video player, Democracy Player, has finally been released as Miro. A news post on the website notes that Miro’s Public Preview 1 has been released, more appropriately known as 0.9.8. They urge that this is the most stable version to date, which means 1.0 is right around the corner. You can hit up their site and download the Mac OS X or Windows version, but at the time of writing, I could not download the Linux version due to the file missing from the server. Doh.
We have a new name (Miro) and a new logo designed by Jon Hicks (who did the Firefox logo). Our new website has been updated throughout with better, more focused, and more up to date info. Our forums are totally new and way better. The channel guide has move to miroguide.com and has a whole new look (it’s still designed to be used primarily inside the app).
