Hi,
 
it took more than a year of hard work, but finally we have a new 
dvd::rip stable release again. Thanks to all the people who helped with
this release by testing, sending bug reports, making suggestions or 
translations of the user interface.
 
  http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/dist/dvdrip-0.98.0.tar.gz
 
Just a few highlights what changed since the latest stable release:
 
    * A new shiny GUI with many improvements using Gtk2
    * Installation & initial setup improved
    * HAL support for DVD device selection
    * Extended progress window with all details of job execution
    * Pause & resume a running transcode job
    * Subtitle preview grabbing during ripping
    * AC3 passthrough for on-the-fly processing and DVD images
    * Cluster mode improvements, e.g. consideration of node speed
    * Clip & Zoom windows improved, with details about clipping constraints
    * Support for h264 video codec
    * Faster TOC reading
    * Online documentation updated
    * ... and many, many bugfixes ;)
 
Change log entry: (Changes since 0.97.13)
 
0.98.0 [stable branch] Sun Aug 20 2006, joern
    Features:
    - Improved TOC reading: when lsdvd fails (version 0.16
      sometimes does), fallback to tcprobe.
    - Select longest title after TOC reading.
    - Select nice value 19 by default.
    - Improved installation procedure: most required Perl
      modules are shipped with the dvd::rip tarball and installed
      together with dvd::rip if missing on the system. Refer
      to the installation docs for details.
 
    Bugfixes:
    - Fixed wrong "Ripping stopped short" warning on NTSC
      movies whith wrongly detected framerate on TOC reading.
      Thanks to Ben <ben AT starlitworld.com> for his hints
      on this topic.
    - transcode options addition didn't work since Event::ExecFlow
      is in use, reported by Kyle Husmann <kyle.husmann AT gmail.com>
    - When default container preference was changed after reading
      TOC, audio widgets weren't setup up properly (e.g. vorbis
      missing for OGG containers) right after ripping.
    - Grabbed subtitle preview images didn't show up immediately
      after ripping, only after reselection of the subtitle.
    - Fixed some missing widget deactivation when no title
      was selected.
    - Preferences: missed updating the checking result text
      after creating a data directory.
    - Frame rate popdown listed wrong format depending on the
      selected system locale (e.g. 23,976 instead of 23.976)
    - Framerate / count corrections didn't show up in the TOC
      right after ripping, only after reopening the project file.
    - Changed transcode version suggestion to 1.0.2.
    - Don't reset all transcode settings to defaults after
      ripping, just these which may be affected due to
      attribute changes (e.g. correctly detected frame rate).
    - No "Save file" request appeared after ripping, even if
      ripping changed attributes and settings.
    - Cluster mode: when creating the first node, dvd::rip
      complained about creating the master node first.
 
Regards,
 
Joern

I'll work on an ebuild in my spare time, but if anyone wants to beat me to it, feel free :)
