What's New
Enhancements:
• Menu bar icon can now be disabled via the Preferences window (General tab)
Bug fixes:
• Fixes crash when deleting podcasts if you don’t have the option enabled to allow Downcast to auto-organize your downloaded media by podcast
• Fixes crash caused when resetting episodes (rare)
• Fixes crash caused when an audio device has no name available (will now be labeled Unnamed Device in the Airplay menu)
• Fixes crash caused when changing media folder location (only occurred if there was an issue finding the size of one of the files to be relocated)
• Fixes crash caused when trying to remove duplicates episodes from a feed during refreshing. This would occur only with mostly broken feeds missing so much data that we can’t find a unique identifier for an episode.
• Fixes issue where clicking the iCloud status bar item wouldn’t pre-select the iCloud preferences panel
