Hi, if we want to call out a new sound source API test phase, the easter days seams to be a nice period.
Are there any volunteers with a Windows or Mac buid environment? This is the link to clone the branch: https://github.com/uklotzde/mixxx.git Independent from the question if it should become part of the 1.12 alpha, it is a good idea to prepare test build for all platforms. @rryan: How do you thing about the temporary merge idea? Or is it just as easy to make our buildservers watch for Uwes branch for a night without messing with master git history? Or does anyone have a better idea?
