Hi guys,

A bunch were able to put in some serious Mixxx time this weekend and
we're very close to declaring development finished and releasing Mixxx
1.8.0. If you have any lingering changes that absolutely can't wait
for 1.9, please submit them by Tuesday. At this point, any changes to
the engine or other error-prone code are going to have to wait.

For those of you who are on board for your first Mixxx release, we
usually try to release when got the point where:
1) We're pretty sure we've fixed all the crasher bugs
2) The influx of new bugs has slowed, and we've caught up fixing the
most important ones. (It's a balance between how much time we can put
into Mixxx and polish.)

We think 1.8.0 is ready, and it's going to be a huge improvement over
1.7.2 for our users. :)

Over the next week, we still need to do the following:
- Try to do some formalized quality assurance checking on 1.8.0 (for
the first time):
http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/qa_procedure
- Update the manual on the wiki. I'll roll it into a PDF and put it in
bzr once we're happy with it.

If the QA testing goes well, we can proceed with packaging maybe by
next weekend. The new website's also done, and will go online when the
new release goes live.

Thanks guys!

Albert
