Development continues on the new version of the open-source Galleon application for TiVo. The software already let you listen to your iTunes collection on your TiVo, view local weather forecasts, read RSS feeds, and do a ton of other cool things. Now version 2.5.0 is out with a bunch of updates:

• Display photos from iPhoto
• Increased album art size for HD displays
• Added scalable backgrounds for HD
  
• Fixed lyrics downloading program
• Upgraded movie rentals application
• Added a screen saver to display cover art and track title for music player
• Bug fixes and HD optimizations

There are a few known issues, including a couple of items that still display a bit funny on HDTV screens, but we're just impressed at how quickly the updates keep coming. This is free and open source software and as far as we can tell, there's pretty much just one guy in charge of development.
