- 20/04/2004 : Drip-0.9.0 released. After the last RC version I've been using the program for personal
'production' purposes. In other words: I wanted to watch the video on DVD's, but needed it in avi/divx format. This requiered Drip to do it's job properly, for every DVD I wanted. Since Drip passed this test past 2 months, I guess 0.9.0 is ready ;)
It's been around 1 1/2 year since there was a release. No new big features, just fixes. But it's making 0.8.x release absolete: 0.9.0 does a far better job in single-run DVD backup. Enjoy!

|
- 30/11/2003 : Fixed 3 of the biggest bugs/problems in 0.9.0, and put 0.9.0rc2 online. DVD navigation is fixed
(for chapters that have more than 1 cell), Audio/Video sync has been fixed in 2 situations: at the beginning of a stream, and during gaps in the mpeg audio.

- 18/11/2003 : Welcome back people ;) Last update was more than 6 months ago.. things have been buzy.
I also started working on another OSS project (dp500serv) and I got kinda stuck with Drip. A few weeks ago I needed to backup a DVD, installed Drip on a clean linux system. Been using it as a user since then. I'll fix a few last problems as I encounter them.. and will release 0.9.0 final after I've the feeling it's OK. I wont add any new features anymore, and after 0.9.0 is done I wont work on this project anymore. It's mostly done anyway ;)

- 02/02/2003 : CVS version changed to 0.9.0cvs. It has the basiscs in place, but needs much work on
various features: 1. DVD chapter selection GUI , 2. Frame & audio framebuffers cleanup between multiple avi encoding. Let your test results be known on the devel mailing list.
|
- 04/01/2003 : The next version of Drip will take some time, so here's a preview. The idear is to add
