New version coming soon, download milestone

I've just noticed (actually I have been checking regularly since Tubecaster has been listed on Uptodown.com ;-) that Tubecaster has now been downloaded over 2000 times! This may not be a lot compared to some big name open source projects but I'm absolutely thrilled that people have found it useful and that some use it as their regular YouTube video downloader.

What surprised me even more is that I've barely even told people about this software - there is so much I want to add to it still, it only has about half the functionality I have in mind for it.

October will be a year since I released the first working version of Tubecaster and I'm feeling inspired to do some more work on it. The Linux version is 99% ready to go but I am just ironing out the last little bug or two then I just need to go ahead and create the packages (just an Ubuntu .deb package at this stage).

Version 1.9.4 will be ready soon, hopefully within the next couple of weeks, and will have the following key features:

- Linux support
- Proxy server support
- Ability to remember the last file format used (i.e. if you choose MP3 this time it will be the default for next time)
- New video format: MPEG

I'm not aware of many (I haven't found any but surely there must be at least one?) Linux apps like Tubecaster so I'm hoping that it will fill a need in that space.
