New Joost client v 0.8.0 released - Now also a beta for Mac

Kim Schulz, friday d. 16. february 2007


Tonight the cool Joost guys released a new version of the Joost client to their beta testers. Besides the usual Windows client, there is now also a version available for Intel-Mac's. This is the beta version of the alpha version they released for a small group of Mac users last week.
Among the new features in the windows version you will find:

  • better and more visual duration marker which now uses words (like "1 hour and 30 minutes left") instead of just numbers.
  • better Channel catalog which now includes all the shows available to the viewers location.
  • Trivia tracker for certain shows.
  • better and improved advert with interactive overlay
  • new codec (from CoreCodec) which improved performance quite a bit.

Since the Mac version is the first public (to beta testers) version, this mainly contains a fix for an annoying crash on exit, but it has also been more polished and the fonts have been improved.
There are still a small list of known issues in the Mac version, so if you plan to test it, you should read the release note before you start - but hey this is betatesting so there is supposed to be some issues :-)
