We've released Banshee 1.0 Beta 2 (0.99.2), a bit over two weeks after 1.0 Beta 1 release. It brings some great new features and lots of bug fixes and performance improvements.

New in this release:

* Podcast extension
* CD Burning
* Auto Rip feature
* Over 28 bugs fixed since the last release

Remember, Banshee 1.0 beta releases can be safely installed and used in parallel with older Banshee releases, so there should be nothing stopping you from giving it a try!
