Less than two months ago xmp was dug out of its grave, and today I’m pleased to announce the availability of version 2.2.0 — the first stable release in more than six years (RPM packages for Mandriva 2008.0 are already available). This version fixes a truckload of bugs and adds support for many module formats, including some from Atari ST/Falcon, Acorn Archimedes and Apple IIgs. Other highlights are the MacOS X driver and the Audacious plugin.

There’s a lot of ugly things in the code that are still to be fixed, but this version is certainly much, much better than the previous stable. Let’s hope the next version doesn’t take nearly as much time to be released as did this one.

Update: Ok, so we have a patch already. This is needed to build the package in non-Linux systems, especially OSX.

Update 2: You may want to get xmp 2.2.1 instead.
