Nuvola Player 2.1.0 has been released
Written for Nuvola Apps Runtime (Nuvola Player) by Jiří Janoušek on 2013-08-24
I'm happy to announce Nuvola Player 2.1.0, the first stable release of 2.1.x series that brings new features for users as well as for service maintainers and many bug fixes. Changes since 2.1 Beta 2 include updated translations and a few fixes [1]. The common changelog for 2.1 beta and stable releases is divided into three parts: user news [2], developer news [3] and bug fixes [4]. The Nuvola Player Flash Plugin Installer [5] has been created for this series to make installation of a compatible Flash plugin easier, see installation instructions bellow.

=== Crowd-funding ===
I'm trying to crowd-fund my work on Nuvola Player via Gittip [6]. If you like Nuvola Player and its features [7] and appreciate all the work that has been done so far, please consider setting up a small recurrent donation [6] to support further maintenance and development of Nuvola Player, thank you. If there are enough supporters, I will start porting Nuvola Player to WebKit2Gtk [8] (this should solve all issues with Flash plugin forever) and I will set up a website for voting for new features to be implemented in the next development cycle, so you will have influence on what I will spend funded time on. The current funding goal is 25 USD/week (100 backers with a minimal tip 0.25 USD). Nobody has contributed so far which makes me think Nuvola Player is not useful enough and I should invest my time elsewhere.

=== Installation: Binary packages ===
Nuvola Player Project provides binary packages for Debian Sid and Wheezy [9] and for Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04 [10]. Both the Debian and Ubuntu PPAs contain Nuvola Player Flash Plugin Installer. The installer's package for Ubuntu should be installed automatically by installation of Nuvola Player package, but the package for Debian has to be installed manually, see README [9] for reason and more information.

=== About Nuvola Player ===
Nuvola Player runs a web interface of cloud music services in its own window and provides integration with a Linux desktop (multimedia keys, system tray, media player applets, dock menu, notifications and more) to create more native experience than common web browsers.
