Well... that is the 0.9.2 release of Kitty, after quite long time. I switched from Slackware to Debian and for this the release was delayed.
However I don't know if the next one will be as quick as these because I'm starting new projects in another languages that will absorb all my time.
This time I've to thank a bunch of people who are helping this project a lot.
Grentis, which is my "testers team". This time I've sent the package to him for testing... And it should work.
Bianca (my GF) which is ever near me, while the long silent developing hours. Thank you!
David R. for his bug report and their congrats. I'll keep an eye to Kitty.
Kurt Pfeifle for his invitation to the Klik mantainers team for kitty. I'm waiting your emails!
Daniel Faust for his suggestions. Part of them are now implemented.
Ize, which was writing a gentoo ebuild for Kitty. Someone is waiting for him!
jaykayess, for his suggestion. I've tried to do what you asked but needs too much time. It's faster to extend Akregator!
gohanz who is packing Kitty for Slackware. Thank you so much!
And thanks to all the score updater. It's exciting to see your support!

Hey, I love Kitty (sure beats Miro!). However, could you add a way to sort by date released? I mean, that's kind of the whole point of a podcast :-D. Also, is there any way to add Miro's channel guide?
Oww... You're breaking my heart. I've abandoned Kitty long time ago but hearing that is still used filled my heart. I don't know if I'll have more spare time to dedicated (I was half-unemployed when worked on Kitty) but I'd like to give to Kitty a rewrite (or an update).
Please do, there really is no podcast app for linux and especially KDE that can do video. Also there are podcasts that include other files with them like PDFs and images. There is a NEED for a podcast client that can download whatever the podcast is and contains and display/play it. iTunes does all this, but iTunes is OSX and Windows only.

where can I get that ebuild you are talking about ? why not offering it directly on this site. thanks
As I said, it was "build in progress" and seems to be no more completed by Ize. So... you can provide a good .ebuild for all the Gentoo community! :O)
Found an ebuild into the gentoo bugtracker! Try it! :) http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112569
will there be any update for this KOOL app?
Ehm! You're right. I'm really busy on another project and I'm not following this thing anymore. I don't know if I'll have more time so if someone wants to handle Kitty, tell me!
Hi, nice work. works much better than v. 0.9 but still needs a lot of work. just keep up. SUSE 9.3 RPMs: http://kaligames.de/rpms/kitty-0.9.2-1.suse9.3.i386.rpm http://kaligames.de/rpms/kitty-0.9.2-1src.rpm
A Slackware 10.2 TGZ Package is ready to download!!! http://www.slacky.it http://www.slacky.it/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=29&func=fileinfo&filecatid=598&parent=category
Oh! Thank you! I've credited you all of Slacky.it on my weblog @ http://www.kesiev.com . Thank you again! (I'm also italian, so "Grazie mille!")
Bad score? Ow! Please! Leave a suggestion and I'll se what is going wrong.
Do I always have to add an individual item to the collection? Can't I add a whole feed and have Kitty automatically download new content w/out my selecting each one?
Nice feat. It can make Kitty a fully featured aggregator/podcast player. I don't know if I'll have enough time for check all the suggested features but I hope that someone (asking me and keeping me into credits... ;) ) can grow this black cat... Who knows? However...
Thank you for your comment! It was added to the TODO file! ;)
Yes. A Bug report from the author? Eheh... sorry but I'm here to say that I've found a lot of bugs into the publishing code and around the code... And I'm sorry. The next version should be better. ;) Thanks to you all!
Nice app, but we (the gentoo users) miss a ebuild for kitty. It would be great you would distribute one.
A friend of mine said that an ebuild is on the way... Ize!
Cool Application now i can compile it with my Slackware 10.2 :) But where is the cat logo on the Kde Menu? I can see only Kitty (Poadcast Client) without logo. ;)
Bug found. The Automake gone crazy! I'll update Kitty in days... I hope.
klik://kitty for those who prefer to klik :-) (See http://klik.atekon.de/ or http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=12841 for a description of klik)
Hi, really cool app. Unfortunately it crashed while trying to tune in a video stream. I couldn't get a backtrace. One tip, you should save the settings, when the user makes them and not at program exit. Here is a suse 9.3 rpm: http://kaligames.de/rpms/kitty-0.1-1.suse9.3.i386.rpm
Probably is a bug I found between the 0.1 and the 0.9 version (try2 - the latest tarball don't work). Try this newer version when I'll submit the correct one and tell me if this don't work.
BTW... I really heave to say a big thaknkyou to all the pakager that are packaging kitty. Is an honour!
I have compiled version 0.9 try2 now: http://kaligames.de/rpms/kitty-0.9-try2.suse9.3.i386.rpm
