Hi Everybody!

Development of version 0.20 is well under way; i wanted to let our users know how we are doing feature wise:

Completed Tasks:

iTheater Multiple Monitor Support

We have now the ability for the user to pick which monitor to use with iTheater. This was a much requested feature for all of you folks that hook up you mac to your television or other monitor. This is currently only configurable via preferences

Introduction of the iTheater Status Bar Item

Another great thing is the addition of an iTheater icon into the status menu; this helps because you have access to iTheater and its preferences via this menu or a user configurable hotkey shortcut.
(currently we are only supporting keyboard shortcuts, but there will eventually be support for apple remote and wii remote)

Thank you for your support!

Today we released iTheater 0.1.4! This version of iTheater is developer-friendly. Now anyone can develop plugins and modules for iTheater. Get it here

Here’s whats new:
Architecture:
- Created iTheater.framework API
- Added third party plugin support
- Added third party module support

Preferences:
- Added dynamic module/plugin preferences
- Facelift for the prefpane
+ Added tabbed design
+ Modified overall layout
- Added iTheater startup/shutdown tansitions
- Added ability to change iTheater sounds

Misc:
- Added caching capability for web-based modules/plugins
- Created uninstaller for iTheater

Documentation:
- Added plugin development guide to wiki
- Added module development guide to wiki
- Added code examples to wiki
- Created test environment program for modules/plugins

We should be done with 0.1.4 by the end of the month. Basically iTheater has gone under a big rewrite so now its all modular making far easier for development.

But we need more developers to work on our core modules after 0.1.4.

What do we need?

We need people, who want to work on these modules,

Music Module (developer that would supplant our main developer in the future)
Images
Weather
DVD
Apple Remote
Movies (co-developers, to help our main developers)

Also after 0.1.4 is out, it should open the doors for people to develop there own plugins for itheater

Thanks
