It's the final release.
Sweet. Congrats to the Devs. I'll be checking it out in a bit.

Where can I see the release notes? It seems like a change has been made to XBMCHelper also have you guys added a new keymap.xml for universal remotes?
I spent some time yesterday configuring my harmony remote based on the XBMCHelper and keymap.xml downloaded here and the key mapping seem to be different now.

XBMCHelper distributed with 9.04 is the old one, as the Harmony version only came along after feature freeze was started.
Thus, if you have a Harmony, follow the guide you followed yesterday to go back to the Harmony version of XBMCHelper.
Release notes as always are found here:

Thanks man!
dohh latest translate tickets not included :(
I upgraded my ATV 2.3 to the release Babylon. Had problems with smb but just deleted the xbmc folder in ~/Library/Application Support/ and all was great after that. You probably don't have to delete the whole thing but I wanted a fresh start in any case.
Thank's for this great app for the Apple TV ...

So now that the new release is out, will the new XBMCHelper go back into the main SVN branch?
uhhh. it always sat in the main svn branch. just not the release branch

Oh. I meant the Linuxport branch, it's the one I'm checking out regularly. Sorry, I'm not overly experienced with this beyond pulling and compiling my own builds :P
yes, and it was commited to that branch. it just was not commited to the 9.04_Babylon-osx-linux-win32 branch which is the 9.04 release branch.

Great, thanks for clarifying :)
EDIT: Built the latest SVN linuxport and the remote stopped working, even after a restart and reset of the remote settings (including killing the XBMCHelper process). Had to copy over the beta XBMCHelper from the other thread to get it to work again.

It's because it's named OSXRemote - it hasn't yet moved over the default one (I suspect due to AppleTV related things?)

For Babylon one has to use the binary from the XBMCHelper beta thread (or build from tags/babylon.../tools/EventClients/Clients/OSXRemote). Reason is that there's no gui/options for the new helper currently and it needs to start up with a different mode (->Harmony enabled).
For linuxport I'll add the stuff to the gui in the next days and after that we can replace the old helper with the new one.
HTH,
mdd
p.s.: ATV uses it's own IR-Helper tools
