Hi guys, Over the last 9 days, we've seen 182 commits of bug fixes, artwork updates, and general polish to the 1.8 branch. Thanks to feedback from some keen testers on the Ubuntu 10.10, we were also able to find two bugs that would affect users of the new Ubuntu. The first one has already been fixed (a missing runtime dependency on QtSql's SQLite plugin) but the other hasn't been fixed yet because it's a Qt bug, and it won't be fixed until Qt 4.7.1 (won't be in Ubuntu 10.10):
RJ's found a temporary workaround that fixes the problem 99% of the way, and we now have to get that fix into Universe or Mixxx is going to look super ugly for our Ubuntu users. Since Ubuntu is well beyond the feature and beta freezes for 10.10, I'll be filing a feature freeze exception in Ubuntu to help get this fix in. However, since we've done a ton of testing and bugfixing since the RC, I think it makes more sense to try to push through a final 1.8.0 release instead of just one visual bug fix. The current Mixxx package in Ubuntu 10.10 is a 1.8.0 release candiate, but unfortunately I didn't append "RC" to the version string, and so I might have to call it 1.8.0.1 or 1.8.1 to get the updated package in. In order for all of this to happen, we should freeze and tag the 1.8.0 release tomorrow (Wednesday, Sept 22, 2010). Putting it off any longer is going make getting the freeze exception through more difficult, and so I think the time is right to call Mixxx 1.8.0 finished. Once we tag the release in BZR, it might take us a week before we make a public release because we still need to build binaries and prepare some PR stuff. Thanks, and everyone should give themselves a pat on the back. This is going to be an exciting release. :) Albert ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Mixxx-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mixxx-devel
