On June 10, Banshee 1.0 was officially released to the public.  Aron Bockover wrote on Planet Banshee :

It is my immense pleasure to formally announce the release of Banshee 1.0. After nearly eight months of vigorous, non-stop work (since the last major Banshee release), it’s here - and we couldn’t be happier!
 
I’m not going to highlight much of the release in this post since we have written up some rather dashing release notes, full of pretty pictures and exciting detail.
