After much time I finally decided that lyricue 3.x is at the point I can call it 3.1 🙂
Since the release of 3.0 a lot of fixes and updates have gone in.
The main things are:

Works on Ubuntu oneiric, natty, maverick and lucid
Handling of non-alpha characters in filenames has been fixed up
You can associate font/shadow colours with a specific background (with a preview) via the media manager
Dramatic speed increase in advanced search
You can press enter to quickly add the first item found when searching the songlist
Lyricue can directly play DVD titles
Display live video feed as background
Online documentation included in the application itself
Video backgrounds play silently for a few seconds in the preview windows
Smarter adding of image, video and music files to the playlist
Imports pptx files (via workaround)
Better handling of different multi-display setups
Configuration now stored in the database directly
Preview window added to edit/add song screen

Lyricue 3.1.0 has the following changes since 3.0.41

Fix handling of apostrophe in presentation filenames
Add text overlay in background manager so it is easier to check text colour

Download the source from www.lyricue.org/archive/lyricue_3.1.0.tar.gz
