The team behind Popcorn Time, after a brief hiatus, have returned with updates to their Windows, Mac and Android versions.
As the team says, the updates are mainly for the UI and for general performance and stability. Reads the post: "Getting this software to work flawlessly in one hell of a challenge and with these releases we're getting so much closer to this desired goal...
Also the content is of higher quality this time around, and we're doing our best to make sure you won't have movies that don't play, specific episodes in a series you're watching that get stuck.. We're doing our best to make sure the video will run smoothly without stuttering, looping, pausing... That the sound quality will be even higher than it already was, that the download will be quicker and that the overall watching experience will rock your world! Even more than before. It worked beautifully when testing it, and if it works beautifully for all of you... Well, we may be able to start fantasizing on crossing out the word BETA before the version number ;-)"

Here is the changelog for the Mac and Windows versions, which now move to beta 5.2:

New interface for Mac Os X!
Metadata errors fixed! (0/0 peers,0kb/s, 100% and then back to info page issues are under this category).

Initial download progress fix
Torrent engine stability updates
Seek and download bar fixes

Cache bug fixed.

And the change log for the new Android version, beta 2.5:

Updater improvements – From the next version on there will be no need for you to re-install every time we offer a new version!

Also notably, a version of Popcorn Time available for non-jailbroken iOS devices is still in the works, and a new "collaboration is really starting to bear fruits."
