Hi Biquillo,

We are a little bit more careful with telling dates, because of the whole delay thing, but we do have plans to release an update this week. We are just closing the last bugs / packaging and it's going to be out.

A lot (and I mean a lot) of bugs were solved, Podcast was really improved (new download manager) and a lot of more things were worked on. I will wait for the release to put the real changelog also in the website.

So, question 1 was answered, and the question 2 with this release it's even near, but this time we focused more on the bugs (actually the plugin development is under work since the beginning) and I think we are approaching it =) but no promises.

Asian caracters is also under work, so don't worry that we will also fix this soon!

I love Canola, and I use as a my primary Multimedia App in my beloved Nokia N800 even it has some small glitches.
At the moment my most hated bug is the problems with the ID tags, all the rest I can survive with

I love show my photos to my friends using Canola, all of them ask my where I bought this device they want one

1) So, when will be released the new update?
2) and the version with the bindings to help developing Canola with plugins?

I have lot of ideas I would like to implement. I use my tablet as a dictionary a lot but don't like so much the interfaces of the existent applications so I would like to get the backends of them and use them in Canola. When I would be able to do it?

I think the future of IT tablets is in Canola, not in Maemo... hopefully in one of the next tablets we could see Canola installed by default on it. I mean, I like as well Maemo but Canola is much user friendly and has more UI love.

3) Are you going to add support for Asian characters? at least display them using manually installed fonts. I have some music with tags in Japanese and cannot see them.

Greetings from Tokyo, and keep on with the good work!
