[Gtkpod-devel] libgpod 0.7.94

[Christophe F. <cfe...@gm...>]

Hello everyone,

After a few months without a release, I uploaded libgpod 0.7.94
yesterday evening! This finally brings support for the latest iPod
Shuffle (the button-less ones) thanks to Adam Broschinski and the nice
spec on http://shuffle3db.wikispaces.com/
Nathaniel McCallum, Alan McGovern, Bertrand Lorentz contributed a CLI
binding which will be used by Banshee. And there were the usual
bugfixes, thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!

As always, donations (old iPods, money, ...) are very welcome since we
lack hardware to be able to tests, reproduce bigs, ...

I'll attach the shortlog below, enjoy,

Christophe
