Bugfix release

Fixes compatibility problems with Windows Vista when you try to build skins. No update is necessary if you're not on Vista.

0.7 Release

The big new features this time are support for local XBMC versions and Linux port !

Complete changelog :

• Linux port
• Support for local XBMC installations
• The main window and changelog dialog can be vertically scolled
• Some bugfixes

Installing on Linux (Ubuntu)

The preferred way is to run an SVN checkout : instructions are detailed here.
But, if you prefer, you can download the source package.
Then run in a console sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8 python-svn unrar to install dependencies. Finally, run python xbmcsm.pyw in installation directory to run XBMC Skin Manager !

Little bugfix release

A little release essentially to fix a bug with new Internet connection test which requires Administrator privileges (ping request). Now it's reverted to previous method (dummy HTTP request).
Like usually, you can download/upgrade it here.

XBMC Skin Manager v0.6 is out

After longs months, XBMC Skin Manager 0.6 is finally released.
This is both a minor and major update : minor because there is no important changes for users but major because the program has been completely rewritten from scratch and it's now a part of XBMC Skinning Project and source code is now available by SVN.
Changelog :

• Completely rewritten from scratch (lots of little adds, changes and bugfixes)
• XML compatibiliy with 0.5x is broken
• removed : XML tag langfolder (replaced by choicefolder type 2)
• added : XML tag choicefolder (2 variants), buildfolder
• changed : now real skin directory is auto-detected (even if skin name and directory are named differently). So now [BUILDdir] macro always works.
• Language files use same XML pattern as XBMC (thx to Nuka1195 for parser)
• Anonymous stats are sent about skins downloads (a stats page will appear soon)

Since XML files are now different, 0.5x's config.xml file is no longer maintained : I encourage you to download ths update.

XBMC Skin Manager 0.51

There is a little update for XBMC Skin Manager
Changelog:

• No more freezes while operations
• Distant resetting XBMC Skin settings (for incompatible skins)
• .BAT files with arguments supported
• Fixed : bug at xml update : the file were downloaded every time
• Fixed : bug at unbuilded skin uploading
• Changed : if the Internet connection test is succeed but not the SVN one, only SVN skins are concerned
• Updated WxPython to 2.8.6.1 Unicode
• Updated PySVN to 1.5.2 (SVN v1.4.5)

0.5 to 0.51 update : just overwrite existing files.
