When will there be a new release for the Nokia N900?

The FATAL repository hasn't been updated in a while :(

The last stable release (0.6.0) was made available for N900 (which actually is much more newer than whats available in desktop distributions) and 0.8.0 is around the corner so you'll have new rygel soon enough on your n900.

Oops, 0.6.0 was packaged but fatal never got to upload it. However, he is on it.

Okay well I hope he can get some time to do it, because I think it's a really great app, it plays really well with my PS3, especially pictures and photos. Even some (lower bitrate) divx movies too! I'm especially interested in subtitle support. But anyways thanks for this cool app and keep up the good work!
