Important Notes:

• This release will need to re-build your entire item cache as changes were made that are not backward compatible. This may take some time the first time you enter MB with this version so be patient while everything re-builds.
• When using experimental SQLite, the cache.db file will be deleted upon upgrading due to the above mentioned changes.

As usual the download is available at: http://code.google.com/p/videobrowser/downloads/list
