Well, since none of the developers who are busy actually hammering out code responded, I'll give you my impression:
I'm using version 7 in my "production" setup and it's working well. I originally started running the trunk code since that was the only place where the new flac "picture" metadata type was supported. Since that support has now been merged into the 6.5.x code, I really don't have a credible reason to be running the trunk anymore. It's just inertia on my part, I guess. There are still major holes in the current trunk code where planned features are only sketched in at this point. For instance, version 7 will have an all new plug-in system that is supposed to be something like Firefox's extension manager. Plug-ins written specifically for version 7 work just fine, those written for 6.x don't work at all. The code that will manage downloading and installing plug-ins hasn't been written yet, so any 3rd party plug-ins have to be added manually. In general, expect to get your hands dirty working with version 7 at this point. So, with that, I guess most folks would say that the trunk is still "alpha." -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36372 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
