Hi,

We are happy to release version 0.5 of the Banshee Mirage extension.
This version works with the latest stable Banshee releases (1.4).

Mirage is an automatic playlist generation extension for Banshee.
Mirage analyzes your music collection and computes a similarity model
for each song. After your music has been analyzed, Mirage is able to
automatically generate playlists of similar music.

New features include:
* Much faster song-analysis and playlist generation.
* Improved music similarity models.
* Integration of new songs in the Mirage playlist queue is now possible.
* Many playlist generation bugfixes.
* You can now easily save Mirage playlists to your music library.

Thanks to Bertrand Lorentz for co-maintaining the plugin && kudos to the Banshee
developers for this awesome music player!

Have fun
dominik.

Awesome, thanks and congrats on yet another great release. I think I've
ported all the changes over where relevant. Is there any way I could
have someone do a test with a C# build against some short test mp3s and
oggs that I've made? I would like to check how far my numbers are off in
Python, since I ended up doing things a little differently here and
there. I have a python unit test that takes these files and makes a
distance matrix from them, which I could send as inspiration.
Alternatively, I'm sure you have mp3s that you test against, if you
could send me those and the distances the new version computes between
them, I'd be equally pleased.

If not, shall have to get mono installed again, and get my hands dirty
on testing manually, which is also not a big problem. ;)

Anyhow, thanks again!
