I would suggest trying it: it is very nifty and I don't think any of the blockers are of the completely-non-functional-type.
This also lets you find your own "I can't rely on this until..." blockers and get those bugs in. If you can deal with a couple weeks of "should I trust this?" doubts in your head (just remember: it is about the music) you can be sure that any critical bugs you find will get fixed asap. You can always go back to 6.5.x if it really annoys you. (And the new Default skin did annoy me for a while, but I grew to like it, and use it more than the also nifty improved Fishbone.) There is a distinct advantage in testing-right-before-release: the software is very much in Bugfix Only mode, so it is the perfect time to go bughunting. You just need to have patience and a bit of risk, though, really, mine has been working fine except for some deb packaging mishaps a couple weeks ago. But I'd rather see you find bugs that drive you nuts now than to wait until it is released and you have to install a nightly snapshot for any bugs you find. (As with all software, there will be bugs. Those of us who were subjected to Program Correctness classes in CS got told that if we actually -used- anything we were taught in that class in the real world, we would be fired for non-productivity. Spending a couple hours to prove 10 lines of code were exactly correct is not a good use of time.) Sadly, the smack-things-with-a-hammer-until-they-break is the most efficient method of testing software. Get a hammer and smack away while people are chomping to get things fixed immediately. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43404 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
