Maybe more frequent releases is the solution. Sure, there will always be bugs, I mean, what software doesn't experience growing pains/bugs? I saw you mention that you where considering a release in a month or so, and I encourage that. I personally don't think more frequent releases will cause problems, but will encourage more people to test new features/etc. It may cause more mail to the list, but it may also stop all the redundant messages asking how to fix something that's fixed in CVS. I also don't see shame in having a list of unfinished/known bugs in release readme's. After all, MythTV is still a 0.xx version project! :) > This whole thread is silly.

Enough already... I'm glad to see that the issue was fixed in a way similar to what I had suggested when it was first being discussed, that is, a pop up to notify the user of the error. All us end users need to thank the developers more often and stop bitching. Maybe they'll listen if you're not spewing nonsensical bullshit. Thanks Isaac & All (developers)! :) -Kenneth
