Hi Owen, the Deere skin is no blocker for me. I have got the feeling (or I hope) that the skin artists are waiting for the beta release. We can call the release: Interface fixes, Ready for skinning.
The EQ Rack is almost merged, it feels wired to release Mixxx in this state. I hope I fix the remaining known issues today. Jus has done a GUI / concept review a second (code) review would be nice, any volunteers? A blocker for me are the memory leaks an the re-producible segfaults and other known party stoppers. I can have a look on the problems on Linux once EQ Rack is merged. Who will have a look on windows? A personal blocker for me is the missing non-chopped album art view for small screens. 100 pixel width is simply to much. An I can't deal with the upper snipped :-/ @Max, @Cardinot You have offered to work on it after merge. Do you make progress or should I jump in? Kind regards, Daniel Am 14.11.2014 um 15:21 schrieb Owen Williams: > We've been making really good progress recently (hurray covers!), and I > want to get a feel for what other people think about the current status > of the build as well as put some pressure behind a beta release.
