Hi, On one hand we have a ready branch, solving a seek issue in the most common mp3 format. On the other hand we have the fear of introducing critical bugs and loosing reputation because of this.
The branch meets all quality requirements, It was reviewed (every single line) and has unit test. It was improved by > 100 comments during a review phase of nearly three month. There is only one thing missing, results from a comprehensive test with all sorts of files. The problem is that we will never get this results. Not before releasing a 1.12 beta, and not before releasing a 1.13 beta in three month or two years. During my review I got the impressin that this branch is a stably win and will probably fix more crasher bug than it introduces. So what about this: * Lets schedule publish of the beta next week * Merge the API branch now, wait for binaries and revert it. * Ask all on this list to compare the API build with the previous master. * Count crashes from the patched API version with the unpatched version. The winner is the new alpha. Take the API version on draw What do you think? Kind regards, Daniel Am 27.03.2015 um 10:52 schrieb Tuukka Pasanen: > Hello, > We deficiently should get into beta stage.
