Me and Owen asked to cut a branch and release a beta months ago. I'm getting particularly annoyed that I have to tell people to try the alpha which makes using mixxx a lot more pleasant with all the cool new stuff we already have in it. Unfortunately this puts of most people. > I just fear that Mixxx 1.12 won't be as good as it could be if we don't > merge ready things.

I would actually like to have more frequent releases. We could use a release cycle with a stable 'long term support' release only once every year or two years and some more cutting edge releases every 6 months or so. Evolution works in that way, they only publish a stable long term release once every two years. We already have a solution similar like this since we keep the master branch usable the whole time. We could cut a branch from it and just publish it saying that it might contain some party stoppers and that one should use version x.y if they want it to be as stable as possible. In the long term support version we could then backport fixes for segfaults or other things that we think are party stoppers. This way some users could have the latest and greatest while others are more conservative and we likely have a larger number of people who test mixxx between 'long term' releases. best Max. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VA_SF _______________________________________________ Get Mixxx, the #1 Free MP3 DJ Mixing software Today http://mixxx.org Mixxx-devel mailing list Mixxx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mixxx-devel
