We want to deliver the best Mac Media Center, but in order to do so, we are going to need to take advantage of the core functionality that OS X offers us. Therefore, version 0.1.2 will be the last official release of iTheater that supports OS X 10.3. We look froward to continuing developing for 10.4 and the upcoming 10.5, but at this time the interest and resources for 10.3 development is just not feasible. We look forward to releasing some great stuff over the coming year that takes full advantage of all OS X has to offer!

Hello all,

Its been a bit quiet on the development front lately due to our main developer having a kid.

But we are now pushing on with 0.1.3, we have picked up some good new developers so hopefully we can crack down with this release.

We are going to be working lots on the setting panel (yes that means you can finally change that weather! and add your own folders to the video module) and really polishing off other modules like music (playlists and other things we have missed) and video.

To find out more about this release and the todo’s, check out our trac, trac.itheaterproject.com .

We are always looking more developers to join the project, so if anyone out there is interested drop us an email - ben@itheaterproject.com

Today we are releasing 0.1.2 full of some great new features and a more polished look. Very sorry but the setting panel is still being worked on and should be added as an alpha soon.

Check out before or the features page to find out what is new and download and enjoy!
