  • The podcast update routine has been completely overhauled, solving several bugs. It's now using multithreading, and it will also update existing episode information.
  • General improvements were made to make sure that the app fits well on small screens in both portrait and landscape mode.
  • Episode images will now be retrieved from id3v2tag if available.
  • New episodes will be added to the queue in ascending chronological order (rather than descending) per podcast.
  • A switch has been introduced to optionally adjust the time left on episodes based on the current playback rate.
  • The episode details pages now have a context action to go straight to the list of episodes for that podcast.
  • It's now possible to sync with custom GPodder servers (i.e. other than the official gpodder.net instance).
  • Podcasts can now again be updated even when the sync server is unavailable. This was a bug in previous versions.

Next to some minor bugfixes, it is now possible to change the location where the downloaded podcast episodes and cached images are saved. These files can take up a lot of disk space, so it's nice to be able to store them elsewhere on systems with limited home folder disk space. The related settings now show the disk space used by episodes and images, and allow to clear the image cache.
