- A Sage TV plugin has been written by Anders Nolberger.
- A Meedio Plugin by Harald Wagner.
- A WinAmp title splitting plugin by Limbo.

5.3 Release Candidate 1 available (aka beta4)
LCD Smartie 5.3 rc1 (aka beta 4) is available for download. No further bug fixes are planned - read the readme.
There are only a few days left until 5.3 final is released and development on 5.3 is stopped.
Download 5.3 rc1 NOW, and report any bugs NOW - there's still a chance of it being fixed.
Development will then start on 6.0 - but at a much slower pace. So 5.3 final will be the last release for quite a while.
Changes since LCD Smartie 5.3 beta 3:
- Fixed bug in Rss code - didn't work with long urls.
- Plugins: Call SmartieFini just before unloading plugin (if
plugin has the function).
- Process commands even if the screen is not enabled.
- Fixed a crash that happened whilst in setup.
- fixed bug in screen 'interactions'
- Limit data updates from plugins to 300ms - unless plugin states a
different value.
- Profiled code, and made some optimizations.
- Fixed demo delphi plugin - was causing crashes! (Exceptions must
be caught by the plugin).
***You are strongly recommended to update your plugins before reporting bugs***
