I'm not sure about that. Have you tried it? At present there have been around 153 commits in the six months since 2.98 that aren't translation updates. 150 commits in six months is less than one per day. Most of them pretty obviously have no impact on plugins, since they're contained within plugins or within parts of rhythmbox that aren't really exposed to plugins. If you had any questions about any of them, I could answer them relatively quickly. > Please, please, please throw up a mailing list thread when you are > considering/have decided fundamental changes to the API - at least we have > an early sight and can advise you on the extent of any impacts as well as > factoring in design changes to our own developments. What information do you want that isn't already available in the git repository? There's plenty of time for feedback and revision once a big change has been pushed to the public git repo. I generally don't do releases immediately afterwards because I like to give the bugs a chance to make themselves known before I start shipping them. If this is something you care about, you can help too. _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
