    • Version 0.3.7 reaches 100 000 downloads in just 5 days

    100 000 downloads

    Great news, Kantaris 0.3.7 has received over 100 000 downloads in the 5 days it has been out. That’s a mad number of downloads and I’m still puzzled over the cause of the increase. But I’m not complaining :P . If anyone knows anything that could contribute to the increase let me know. I would also like to thank everyone that has helped spread the word about the player.

    Kantaris 0.3.6 released

    This version only contains one major new feature; support for non-western characters in subtitles. So now you should be able to use your Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese,  … subtitles with Kantaris.
    Other improvements:

    • Added subtitles size setting
    • Speed up file loading
    • Saving downloaded subtitles in the “kantaris\cache” directory instead of in the “temporary internet files” folder
    • Double-clicking for full screen works again
    • Hopefully fixed a bug caused by bass_fx.dll in Vista 64-bit ( I can’t test it)
    • Fixed a bug with the listing of embedded subtitles
    • Uninstaller now removes file associations
    • Probably some more which I can’t remember right now.
