foobar2000 v0.9 Release Candidate

A release candidate version of foobar2000 v0.9 is available for public testing.

Further release candidates / 0.9 final release date

Neither the release date for the next release nor the number of release candidates before v0.9 final is known at this point. We can understand that people are anxious to play with new stuff, but please be patient and don't clog this thread up with questions about release dates. All you're going to get is the canonical "When it's done" answer.

You will be informed whenever a new version is released.

Compatibility with previous versions

Components made for v0.8.3 and older will no longer load.

Public SDK

An SDK will be released to the public after foobar2000 v0.9 goes final. This is to simplify bugfixing by ensuring that the bugs and issues people report are all related to / caused by foobar2000 and its official components themselves and not unexpected behaviour of third party components.

Feedback

Please use separate threads for different issues. The thread title should give a good idea about the contents of the thread and contain a hint that it is about the 0.9 release candidate.

Installation notes
  • Please install into a clean directory. (The installer will block any attempts to install over an existing 0.8.3 installation.)
  • Disable “per-user settings” in the installer if you want to keep your old configuration. The configuration file is not compatible with v0.8.3 and older.

Release Candidate 2006-03-11 is out, mostly to re-test internal changes we made to workaround design issues discovered during SDK cleanup.
This is the last scheduled build before 0.9 final next weekend.
