Aside from picking up a new team member to work on the homebrew app LuaPlayerHM7, developer homemister (working in collaboration with PiCkDaT) has released a new iteration to this highly useful program for the PlayStation Portable. LuaPlayerHM7 RC1 includes a host of new functions and convenient features which definitely improves on the previous build.

Here's a list of the changes that were included in the current version of LuaPlayerHM:
