hi all-

Yesterday I checked in a change to 7.6 that changes how home menu items
can be customized on squeezeplay-based devices (Touch, Radio,
Controller). The customization options for an item are now accessed via
a context menu. On squeezebox touch this is a touch-hold of an item, and
on radio, controller, and via IR remote this is the + button.

through the context menu for a home menu item, you can now:
- Promote items from home menu submenus (e.g., My Music, Internet
Radio, Settings) to the root (top) home menu
- Hide things from the root (top) home menu
- Reorder items within a menu

I did a rough demo of this that you can view here:

Items that are capable of this customization are the same as what were
previously listed in the Settings->Home Menu giant-menu-of-checkboxes.
In addition to the items that are by default at the top level home
menu, it includes:

My Music-><All Items in first My Music menu>
My Music->Random Mix-><All Items under Random Mix>
Internet Radio-><All items in first Internet Radio menu>
Extras-><All items in first Extras menu>
Settings-><All items in first Settings menu>
Settings->Audio Settings-><All items in first Audio Settings menu>
Settings->Screen-><All items in first Screen menu>
Settings->Brightness-><All items in first brightness menu>
Settings->Advanced-><All items in first advanced menu>
Settings->Advanced->Beta Features->

The items in My Apps do not have support for the context menu
customization yet, but I plan on tackling that specific issue next
week, as those items are clearly ones that users will want to
add/remove frequently.

Someday I'd like to be able to add any arbitrary "slim browse" item
(e.g., My Music->Albums->Some Album, Napster->My Library->Some Napster
album, Pandora->My Stations->Some Station, Facebook->News Feed) to the
home menu, but that's a tougher problem and much further on the
horizon. I opened a bug on that.
