The Participatory Culture Foundation has announced the release of the Democracy internet-TV platform’s latest and greatest version (0.8.4.1), addressing many stability issues, adding some new codecs, and cleaning up the interface a little more, among other fixes. But man, what a version number. For those who do not know, Democracy is an internet-television browser, using a built-in RSS reader to display and download video-based content channels using bit-torrent technologies. The ability to grab podcasts, videocasts, video blogs and bit-torrent video feeds are present, and the video player can also be used as a Quicktime replacement, so you can re-watch season 2 of Lost, while downloading the latest episode of Rocketboom in the background. Best of all, it’s free (as in speech, as the slogan goes), open-source and works wonderfully under OSX.
