It also requires the NList and TheBar MUI custom classes.

Changes in this release:

Version 1.4, 09/12/2005

CHANGE: Multiple item list selections are now retained after a check downloads
operation.
ADDED: Update channels and download new items menu option.
CHANGE: Removed the Exit toolbar button as it was superfluous, either close the
AmiPodder window or select Project/Quit instead.
ADDED: Added an editable MIME type field to the Edit Item window (useful for
videocasts with the wrong MIME type).
CHANGE: Modified readonly string gadgets in the Edit Item window to the correct
border (you can stil copy (RAmiga+C) from them).
CHANGE: References to "enclosure" in the interface now refer to "item" which
hopefully will make things a bit clearer for beginners.
ADDED: Option to prompt for the sync directory (requested by Paul Mellor).
CHANGE: Adding a channel now automatically does an update, removing the "click
update" step from the add process.
CHANGE: Updating a single channel now always downloads and processes the RSS
even if the last-updated dates match.
ADDED: New status of "Played".
ADDED: File name length limitation.
ADDED: Video support:
CHANGE: Now only tries to download and sync audio/ or video/ MIME types.
ADDED: Video player option.
ADDED: Separate path for video syncing.
ADDED: Option not to download or sync video files.
FIXED: Extended the string gadgets in the status window to cope with long URLs
and file names.
FIXED: Resolved a problem where spaces at the start of a URL caused an error on
update.
FIXED: The formatting of the error log so lines are properly separated.
FIXED: bug where closing the Edit item window with the close gadget did not
clear the busy pointer on the main window.
