The Miro team has released the first Release Candidate of Miro version 2.5. There is not much information on what Miro 2.5 is supposed to be, but it seem much emphasis has been made to make Miro faster to launch and easier to hack on.
This open source, free HD video player has packages of version 2.5 rc1 for Mac OSX, Windows and Source code for those interested in compiling. For now there are no RPM or DEb packages for Linux
