MMS 1.0.8.5
UPDATE 10. Jan, 2009: Please use MMS 1.1.0 - it's almost stable!
The current stable version of MMS is 1.0.8.5 and was released on the 20th of August 2007. It contains only bugfixes. There are no new features in it, and no changes to the config file have been made. So upgrading is 100% painless :-), like it was in 1.0.8.4.
For a download, click on the MMS-box, if you want to compile from source (meet the requirements first described in the
wiki):

here for more details.
My Media Systems becomes more and more a popular Media-Center solution for Linux. The fact that MMS was listed on the 10th of March 2007 among freshmeat's Top 20
Projects on the Horizon reflects this very well:
The design has been totally changed.
The new theme was created completely from scratch. All icons exist now also as vector graphics. This circumstance doesn't count now, but it opens the possibility to design MMS' look completely scalable in the future. So HDTV with a native resolution with 1920x1080 pixels won't be a problem anymore.
All background images in the different menus does have a symbol on it now, to reflect the menu you are in. Here are some sample screenshots:
