HI Frank
Just checking after a few months away.
Great to hear that progress is being made and I'm looking forward to 2.0! Yay.
Keep up the good work - I wish I had some useful skills to offer (but unless taking your tonsils out would be of any use I don't!).

I checked the doc's and it seems pretty well done for me

I too as a user and monthly contributor am anxious for 2.0 to make an appearance.

But I gotta be honest...0.3 serves my needs very well...it's better than any other alternative I've tried. Volumio lasted about 10 minutes on my spare SD card. All the yammering and ill will being pointed at the dev team for 2.0 to me is sort of misplaced. 0.3 is already better than the other choices IMHO. Improvement is icing on the cake but since I have a great system to use now I can be patient.

When 2.0 shows I'm sure it will be great. In the mean time I choose to use that which is already great.

I too agree, Rune is great and has continued to beat out most every other ARM player out there [Volumio, Moode, Picoreplayer etc] tried everything I can get my hands on and even made my own debian/MPD and debian/Squeezelite players. However I keep coming back to Rune.

Myself and probably countless others visit in hopes of an update. What I fear most is this project fading away into nothing. Linux has a long history of dead projects that started out great. I applaud the dev's for their efforts, but realistically this project should be handed over to other dev's with more free time. I can't blame the current dev's for putting their real lives/families etc. first. However this project deserves to live a stronger more active life which can be provided by new parents.

Thanks Rune team for getting this far, but please consider seeking out someone or people who have the time, energy and know how so that Rune can be more actively developed.

hello @AKX, another 8 Month after your last post here and I wanted to know how things are going? Is there anything to announce? any timeline or help you would need or we could offer to see the next version coming?
I hate to repeat myself but some better information flow would be great!

Yeah, so its at this point 3 YEARS later that I don't see a 0.4 beta. Rune Audio, if you're reading, this is appalling. Telling us that weeks was between us users and the release, was massively off, you were clearly not even close. Please, instead of lying, just honestly tell us. Your 0.3 software for raspberry pi is great, beside the fact that the wifi doesn't work. I'd have liked to have used 0.4, but am now switching to another raspberry pi music player because clearly you guys don't care about truthfully giving us release dates. I have searched the internet for 0.4, but apparently its not out. Very disappointed especially considering I loved using the Rune Audio software...
