hi Tim- a couple of notes on your previous posts.
on checkins: If there is a bug that needs fixing on both branches, if feasible I will usually test and check the fix into both branches, 6.5 and trunk (7.0). on memory leaks: The Nokia770 and Touch skins I maintain make very heavy use of AJAX, which sends requests to slimserver in the background and updates elements on the page without the need to update the entire page (for example, when the current song changes). This makes for a much nicer user experience, but with AJAX comes a greater possibility for memory leaks. Internet Explorer is usually the prime offender in not handling memory correctly, but the Opera/N800 environment may have similar issues. That said, finding and plugging AJAX memory leaks is very difficult. If there is a real problem here, any specifics on how to reproduce it would be helpful, and opening a bug at http://bugs.slimdevices.com is the proper route for reporting it. on current development: I should note that I haven't touched any development on either branch in quite some time, as I do all of this work in my spare cycles, of which I've had very few in the past 6 weeks or so. However, there are a number of nice enhancements I've completed in 7.0, which I documented here: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?TouchNokia770ss7Enhancements The big thing left on my plate for 7.0 skin development is to become compliant with what's necessary to support the new plugin API, so things like Favorites and third-party plugins are better served via the skin. cheers, #!/ben -- bklaas "the Nokia770 skin guy" http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bklaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31398 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
