Moonshell 2.00 beta 3 released
A few changes.
Moonlight has posted news of beta 3 in the upcoming 2.00 version of moonshell. This version focuses mainly on UI updates but a few bugfixes are also present. Again the author stress formats and layouts will change before the final version so skin makers/translators should either hold off making new or be prepared to update their work.
For those who have not used moonshell before it is a multimedia application for the DS capable of playing several audio formats, DPG video, viewing images and reading text as well as launching homebrew on some carts.

The following is a crudely translated version of what appears on the release post
Added
Added the ability to pause video upon closing the lid of the DS.
Added support for cleartype fonts (default off) (?????????????????????????????OFF????????)
Added DLDI support for carts that do not support auto DLDI patching.
Added memory test on bootup.
Added MOD plugin (mod/it/mtm/s3m/xm/669/med/stm/amf/gdm/ult/uni/asy/imf/okt/stx), the author stresses it is alpha quality.
Added a plugin for GIF pictures
Added some more soft reset support (return to your cart firmware)
Added options the SwapDisp.txt to scroll the screen up or down the file list. (SwapDisp.txt ????????????????????)


Changed
Reduced the amount of memory the plugin system used.
Backlight does not immediately turn off on the lower screen when first playing a video.
MDX deleted due to issues with the plugin
BBtnStop.txt the B button can stop playback during the playback of a list of files.
CarSuply.txt adds a "car mode" (think "party mode" of various media players) (CarSuply.txt ????????????)
Clust64k.txt deals with special cases of disk formatting (read the file before using).
ChkDskT1.txt is able to log details of the disc check.
POffMEnd.txt adds a shutdown after playback finished feature (single song or playlist).
Use M4A.txt to enable AAC/m4a plugins, capable of playback of most AAC files.
Run ignore16.txt to force the adapter to ignore the memory card/similar (not recommended)

Fixed
Fixed a bug with multiple keys being pressed in quick sucession (????????????????????????????)
Fixed a stack overflow bug with the MP3 decoder.
Fixed a bug in the new bootloader, should be slightly faster.

Thanks wolf. Will definitely give them a try when my DS is fully charged.

May I ask what's the difference between the following:

Zip download from author (22.8 megabytes, no source)
GBAtemp download (19.9 megabytes 7z format and source included)

It's exactly what it says. The official download link is larger in size even though the GBAtemp one has the source included. You'll be able to open both up with any good extractor like WinRAR or 7-Zip.

The is no difference in Moonshell itself.
