BeyondPod Updates

What is new in this public release:

Fixed a potential application crash when feeds use "unconventional" URLs for their podcasts (3.1.1.0) - thanks to "MrIch" for reporting that.
Updated the handling of Atom feeds to support content generated by Google Reader.
Added a menu option to toggle grouping by feed in the Podcast view. This option is enabled only when showing all podcasts in the current category.
Fixed a bug where feed groups were not sorted correctly when the "Group by Feed" option is on.
Categories are now stored in the same file as the podcasts (TrackState.xml). This fixes cases where categories and the feeds assigned to them can get out of sync.
Fixed an issue where BeyondPod would fail to update on schedule when only WiFi is the only connection source available.
Added "Allow use of GPRS/EDGE/3G" connections in Tools > Settings > Global Settings. This setting lets you prevent BeyondPod from using the cellular connection for feed updates and downloads. (Useful if your provider charges you per MB downloaded.)
Added a "Force New Posts First" setting to Feed Properties. This setting is useful if some of your feeds add their new posts at the end of the feed (instead at the top).
You can now configure a custom http "UserAgent" string. Please refer to the Resources page for more details.
Added a setting to Feed Properties to allow for truncating the beginning of podcast names . Useful when long podcast names start with the same prefix like <show name>-<episode name>, thus allowing you to see more of the episode name.
"Allow Podcast Deletions" in Feed Properties now has a "Use Global Setting" option. The global setting is in Tools > Settings > General Settings.

Fixed an issue where BeyondPod would incorrectly report that there is no available space to download a podcast if you click on the "Download" link in content view for the first time. (3.0.0.2)
BeyondPod views now use a new "kinetic" (iPhone style) finger scrolling. (Keep in mind that the Feed Content view still does not support finger scrolling unless your device has TouchFlow.)
Improved the support for VGA devices and high resolution versions of the icons are now included by default in the install.
When a podcast finishes playing, the associated feed item is automatically marked as "read."
You can now delete downloaded podcasts directly from the Feed Content view. This feature should make cleaning up the library much easier, especially if you turned off the setting for automatic deletion of podcasts at the end of playback. (Thanks to Bjorn for suggesting that.)
Played podcasts have a slightly different icon to help distinguish them from un-played or partially played ones.
In Feeds View, if the Feed has podcasts, pressing the "Right" arrow key now starts playing all podcasts, the same way as if you click on the green feed arrow. This makes it a bit easier for non-touch screen devices to access this functionality. (Thanks to DeVeega for this suggestion.)
BeyondPod will now automatically check and notify you when new Public or Beta builds are available.
Added an option to create categories directly from the "Select Category" screen.
There is a new global shortcut to toggle between podcast and player view. The default key is "8," but it can be changed via Player Settings -> Change Button Mappings.
On touch-screen devices, BeyondPod will now automatically turn the screen off 10 seconds after you start the playback (only if using the Internal Player). You can change this behavior in Tools > Settings > Player Settings.
Added screen transitions between some of the views. You can turn off transitions via Tools > Settings > General Settings.
