I'll be posting a link to a tutorial page how to use the Open APIs. They are essentially Broadcast Intents to control streaming and also to get currently streaming information. This allows other developers to build their own widgets or possibly integrate APIs to their existing applications such as an Alarm Clock.
Changes:
- Improved responsiveness of play/stop request
- Auto start and stop streaming bluetooth pairing options.
- Audio noisy after headset unplug fixed.
- Player volume now controls Android Media volume. No longer internal player volume.
- Media controls are now functional.
- Media controls next/prev favorite stations supported. [PAID ONLY]
- Favorite shortcuts support added. [PAID ONLY]
- Fast access to player with dedicated LIVE button.
- Open APIs for developers to use for building widgets or other apps.
- Better service life-cycle management****
- Improved media playback from dieing easily as some users reported
while browsing the internet or other memory and CPU intensive applications.*****
- Improved notification bar message updates
- Multiple bugs resolved
- Settings updated with more options
- Improved service state saving
- Improved radio station list. They are faster and responsive. Minimized memory used.
- Improved playlist parser
- Few translation fixes
- Improved sleep timer. It runs much acurate and fading is smoother.
- Random buffer end of file bug resolved
- Improved application database management
- Added confirmation messages for backup/restore user data.
- Case sensitive urls issue resolved.
- Removed GPS fine location permission. No longer turns GPS ON.
- Better activity history management

Thanks for the details. I have confirmed the issue with mini X10. From my test the device would not show the application when it ran Android 1.6. After update also the application was not visible.
We currently support the play/stop controls. Some applications take away the media controls and never get to XiiaLive. We are in a way upset that some applications are very aggressive in terms of these controls. We are most likely to provide these aggressive controls but always with an options to turn it off.
Upcoming update v2.1.6 contains this feature. STOP and START. Paid version will allow skipping favorites.
