Typecast 3.6.0 Released
This release took longer than usual because I changed Typecast and Typecast WMC to a new network protocol. If you don’t use Typecast WMC, you don’t need to do anything. If you do use Typecast WMC, you just need to be sure to upgrade both Typecast and Typecast WMC to this version so that they can continue to talk to each other.
Other than that, there are some nice improvements to Typecast in this release. You can now change the frequency of listings updates to be from every six hours to 24 hours. (Schedules Direct publishes a maximum of four updates per day.) Typecast now automatically detects missing listings and automatically downloads updates for those dates and stations. I also fixed CTRL+C so you can once again copy a schedule’s information to the clipboard.
