It’s been several months, but a new release of TubePress is available for download. This version includes lots of new features and a significant overhaul of the code base, so it will be released as beta until we can confirm that it’s relatively bug-free. Please give it a test and report any problems over at the issues page or on the discussion forum. Here are the new features…

It also works with WordPress 2.5, though the options page doesn’t look quite as nice. Enjoy!
