Pegasus ran out of the stable while nobody was watching.

The Media Browser team released Media Browser v2.2.3 (Pegasus) yesterday and I didn’t even notice it. It primarily consisted of some performance improvements and bug fixes. You can read all about it here.

A preview of meta<browser/> 2.0.

Posted by Jon | HTPC, Reviews | Friday 5 March 2010 2:43 pm

meta<browser/> logoI was lucky enough to be included in a very small group of alpha testers for the upcoming meta 2.0 metadata manager – ‘lucky’ being an understatement as this application is going to astound you.

Get your favorite torrent engine ready…
