SourceForge recently moved to Chicago while also doing some changes to its infrastructure (especially web content). For this reason the Remuco web site has been down for some time. Sorry for that .. I hope now everything works like before.

This release has a minor technical enhancement. The Remuco Rhythmbox plugin now communicates with the Remuco server asynchronously which reduces the risk that the plugin blocks the Rhythmbox UI while communicating with the server.

Remuco client 0.5.1 has just been released. This release brings some bug fixes and internal improvements. You most probably need this new release if the canvas variant only displayed a white screen (e.g. on Sony Ericsson M600i) and if the client crashed after running a long time (this was a memory problem which has been fixed now). ... read more

The new Client version introduces a new user interface based on Canvas.

So the client can now be used via a mobile's joystick and numpad and the interface looks quite presentable now. This interface is themeable and 2 different themes are already included in the client.

However, since this new UI might look bad on some devices (with too small or too large screens) the client release package also contains a variant with the traditional UI which should fairly work on every mobile.... read more
