Hi there,  
I’ve moved this to a new thread to keep the other one focused on communication. And welcome @Podder and @Sean_White to our forum! 🙂 If you want, it’d be cool if you [share your AntennaPod story here](https://forum.antennapod.org/t/how-are-you-part-of-the-antennapod-community/35)!

Now, on topic: it’s been a long wait indeed. Large part of the wait was also caused by the new logo - it took us a lot of time processing all the voting data and get to a version we are really happy with. I ~~might have been~~ certainly was too optimistic on how fast we could wrap up that whole process.

But, with the great help of @ByteHamster I drew up a list of all the changes in 2.0.1 (vis-à-vis 1.8.1). And I must say: it’s quite impressive! You can have a look here, below (wanted to upload an odt file, but that doesn’t currently seem possible).
