Hi RJ and all,

I agree with your blockers. In my opinion, there are also two more blockers.

First, we should not sheep Mixxx 1.12 with controller mapping that use 
controls that are deprecated in 1.12. This shows an ugly warning box to 
the user when selecting such a mapping.

Secondly, we have some anoying bugs with windows installer that should 
be resolved before releasing 1.12 or they will impact next version as well:
- When installing 1.12 on top of a previous version installation, old 
files from previous version are left. so skins from 1.11 shows up next 
to new resizable skins and uninstall entry in the program uninstallation 
control panel shows up "Mixxx 1.11" as well as "Mixxx 1.12". selecting 
one of them, regardless of which one, removes the Mixxx installation and 
let the other entry unusable. At least we should detect former 
installation and deny installation until the previous version is 
uninstalled or (best) add an upgrade path to the installer.
I didn't try, but I think we also have an issue when installing Mixxx 
64bits on top of Mixxx 32bits or vice-versa (different installation 
directories under windows).

- Uninstalling Mixxx leave files behind. Especially some, but not all, 
controller mapping in the Mixxx installation directory. on 177 files 
installed in the controller directory, 77 are removed and 100 are left 
behind. This is not understandable for users. We should either remove 
them all or none. I understand some users can expect that changed/tuned 
controller mapping files are not removed, but the Mixxx preference 
directory is the place to install custom mapping, not the mixxx 
installation directory (at least in my opinion). We must also be 
consistent across OSes on this behalf. Are modified controller mapping 
files left when purging package on ubuntu ? what happens on MacOSX when 
uninstalling ?

Regards,

sb
