tl;dr -- let POLISH be the mantra of these days leading up to the beta and
1.12.0 release. Please file bugs and tag them polish
<http://goo.gl/kYSslD>or send pull requests fixing the minor nits and
annoyances that make Mixxx
seem amateur.
Hey Mixxxers,
Mixxx 1.12.0 is rapidly approaching. We want to get a beta out ASAP.
If you haven't been paying attention to Mixxx development, this release
will be EPIC.
https://launchpad.net/mixxx/+milestone/1.12.0
I know I say this every time, but this release is going to turn some heads.
To attract the most Mixxx converts and get positive press coverage, it's
important that everything is super-polished.
What are the little nits and minor annoyances that give you the impression
Mixxx isn't "pro"?
In this time leading up to the beta and release, I propose everyone focus
on polish. File bugs and tag them polish <http://goo.gl/kYSslD> or better
yet send pull requests.
Bugs tagged polish: http://goo.gl/kYSslD
Examples (already fixed):
* Hitting talkover if no mic is enabled silently does nothing.
-> Owen just added a popup warning to let the user know nothing is hooked
up.
* If you MIDI learn a control and want to undo it, you're stuck editing XML.
-> I just added an Undo button to the MIDI learning wizard.
* You have to rename libmp3lame.dll to lame_enc.dll on Windows. Why not
just look for libmp3lame.dll?
-> Owen just fixed this.
Examples of stuff still needing fixing:
* BPM scan fails on OS X with case-sensitive file
systems<https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1274891>
* Specific warning about DRM when trying to load DRM content. (Lots of
users complain we "can't load their iTunes" when they are trying to load
DRM files) <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1296927>
* Controls that were added but are missing from the MIDI learning wizard.
(I've been fixing some of these, submit changes to
ControlPickerMenu<https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/blob/master/src/controllers/controlpickermenu.cpp>
!)
* Export <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1296952> and
import<https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/723028>of controller
presets.
* Remember splitter layout in
library<https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/890482>
* Inhibit screensaver when using
Mixxx<https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1222098>
* Show total AutoDJ time remaining in ADJ
view<https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1293980>
AND MORE -- check the polish <http://goo.gl/kYSslD> list.
What are your minor annoyances with Mixxx? The low hanging fruit should
absolutely be fixed in Mixxx 1.12.0.
Please join me in making polish the mantra of the next month before we
release 1.12.0!
