On May 30, Banshee 1.0 RC 1was released to the public. Banshee 1.0 RC 1 represents the sixth release since we began rewriting much of the core of Banshee. The primary reasons for this rearchitecting were to deliver much needed performance improvements, make features more powerful and mature, and allow us to add awesome new features like the Play Queue and video support.

Banshee now uses much less memory and has greatly improved startup speed.It can handle collections that are much larger in size without adversely affecting application speed or memory usage.

These core architectural changes also allowed us to cleanly implement many great new features and provides a framework for new features to be easily developed in the future.
