Democracy Player now Miro

Back in March, the Participatory Culture Foundation announced that Democracy Player would be renamed as Miro, and the change is now official with a new release of the internet video player software, version 0.9.8 . The application's image has been totally revamped, including an overhaul of the official website and logo (of course), but the new technical preview version of Miro includes a dose of new additions and fixes, too:

• Keyboard shortcuts available on all platforms

• New 'report a bug' menu item added
  

• Veoh.com as a search engine added
  

• Additonal bug fixes and UI improvements

Miro 0.9.8 requires Mac OS X 10.3+ and QuickTime 7. Check out a demo of the software in action here.
