Here is another alpha release: 2.5.0-alpha4. It has numerous improvements and bug fixes comparing to the previous unstable version released one and a half year ago. As you can see from the changelog most changes were made by contributors, not me. You can see there most of the patches posted/mentioned on the forum. There is the play queue, lyrics displaying, the equalizer and more.

New alpha version is here. The list of new features is not very long although. I've called it "community release' because all changes except one were contributed. I know it's been long time from the last release, but we have it and this proofs that Open Source works and community exist :)

Here is MOC-2.5.0-alpha2. It comes with 2 new decoder plugins, few new features and many bugs fixed. Most of the biggest changes were made by contributors (as you can see from the changelog). Unfortunately (for MOC) I have a new job in a new town and even less time to work on MOC. This is why the release is delayd and many bugs are not fixed (you can see them in the TODO file included with sources). Here is full list of changes:

Here is it: 2.5.0-alpha1. This release wouldn't be possible without contribution from few people, mainly Hendrik Iben (MIDI and Modplug plugins) and Jack Miller (OnSongChange and other features and fixes), but there are more names in the changelog. I'm proud that MOC got to the point where my role is more like a maintainer than an author.

This release includes a demanded option: running a command when song changes. It should be useful for example to scripts that submit data to last.fm. If you think you need something more flexible or have any comments on that, please use the forum.

This is the last beta release for 2.4.0 version. It contains fixes for few bugs and few new minor features. Most important changes are fixes for displaying non-ASCII characters. Thanks to people who reported bugs.

2.4.0-beta1 has been just released. All features planed for 2.4.0 are implemented. Please test it.

Here is another unstable release. The hardest change for me was the UTF8 support. Please comment if you have problems with it. WMA is also here, but seeking does not work. Tilo Stritzky helped me porting MOC to OpenBSD, so this release should compile under OpenBSD 3.8.

If the development version of MOC fails to run with a message like:

FATAL_ERROR: Parse error in the keymap file line 39: unknown command

The problem is a change made in keymap commands.

Here is 2.4.0-alpha1 release. I've spent most of the time on redesigning the interface code. The change is not really visible for a user, but it was necessary for further development, the old code couldn't be maintained any more. This caused also that despite of the long time between 2.3.0 and 2.4.0-alpha1, there are less changes than in previous alpha1 releases. What you can see just after compiling and running this version is the change in the interface layout as you can see on screenshots. This is first such a change from the beginning of MOC. Please comment this version on forum.

Debian packages for MOC 2.3.0-beta2 are available, see the download section.
