Hi,

We've just wrapped up the annual Campware developers' meeting, SummerCAMP
2005, where we've had a very intensive five days with developers and end
users from 11 countries.

One track of SummerCAMP had to do with LiveSupport, and I wanted to pass
on its updated and final schedule of releases.

===================================================

The LiveSupport 1.0 Release Candidate 1 will be released byJune 16, 2005.
It will include the following features and improvements over 0.9.1:

- Fixing issues related to GStreamer (Akos Maroy)
- LiveSupport Studio, including 'Live Mode' (Ferenc Gerlits)
- First draft of the end user manual (Robert Klajn, with design templates
from Charles Truett and hosted on Micz Flor's new DocMint documentation
system.
- Sample database with jingles, music from the Sue.Mi record label and
sample playlists, released under a Creative Commons license (Tomas)
- UI improvements on both LiveSupport Station and Studio
- Language support for English, German, Czech, Serbian, Hungarian,
Spanish, Dutch and possibly others
- Countless bugfixes, including:
Scheduler System V init script for source compiles (Akos)
- Easier localization for LiveSupport Station

===================================================

LiveSupport 1.0 "Adam" will be released by June 30, 2005. It will include:

- Completed user manuals
- Bugfixes after testing
- Additional language localizations (including possibly Arabic)
- LiveSupport Knoppix installer/demo CD with 1.0 preinstalled

====================================================

LiveSupport 1.1 will include:

- Conversion of LiveSupport SMIL playlists to RSS 2.0 + enclosures (for
syndication, interoperability with Campsite and podcasting)
- Smart playlists
- Recurring playlists
- LiveSupport Network
- Cue window
- Advanced Playlist Editor (possibly)
- Windows port of LiveSupport Studio (possibly)
- Mac OS X port of LiveSupport Studio (possibly)
- Improved documentation including videos

The date has not yet been set for LiveSupport 1.1, but is likely around
the end of summer.

There are a number of items we would like to have, but are unable to do on
our own because of limited resources. These include:

Support and ports to other platforms, including

- RPM packages (both Mandriva and Red Hat)
- Debian eBuilds (although I understand Stefan de Konink is working on
one)
- FreeBSD port
- Windows
- Mac OS X

We welcome your involvement in LiveSupport, and look forward to a very
busy summer.
