Re: Amarok v2.8.1

2014-05-09 Thread Dan Meltzer
I think that what's currently in git has been tested enough (with the
exception of the stuff I've just dumped it--hopefully non-invasive though)
that pushing a 2.8.1 to make Amarok functional everywhere, and then
starting in on some of the waitlisted features for 2.9 could be good.  I'm
going to try and get mac stuff working in a separate branch today, and then
ask for some testing/review of the cmake changes before pushing it.  If it
works for everyone on other platforms, we can think about pushing it for
2.8.1, otherwise I wouldn't mind holding off until 2.9... it's not like
there are a lot of people waiting eagerly to use Amarok on Mac.

Dan,

I think there are the minor fixes we planed a while back that should
go out as 2.8.1 ASAP, as we already missed the Kubuntu Trusty release
due to that delay, and there are some real nasty bugs that make Amarok
painful to use with 2.8.0. This would also give us more polishing time
for 2.9

One of the most annoying things is the GUI being not responsive after
the start due to some collection scanning, I get reports about this
almost daily

Wasn't that merged already?

Hi Dan,
first, thanks for all your recent work on Amarok, especially for

I'm all in, and given that I've submitted by master's thesis this
Monday (yay; there's still final exams for me in ~4 weeks), I could
even have some time to do the release (but I'd happily pass it on if
someone *wants* to do it).

I've also started poking with the my MTP collection rewrite, which
would hopefully be in a releasable state in a month or two. If this
goes according to the plan, we may even think of calling it just
Amarok 2.9.

BTW, it would be nice if Tatjana's AudioCD rewrite would be readied
before 2.9 as it would allow us to remove a deprecated framework.
Tatjana? Edward?

Amarok v2.8.1

2014-05-08 Thread Dan Meltzer
Hi Everyone,

I was talking With Mark this morning, and I think it would be prudent to
release an Amarok 2.8.1.  There aren't a lot of feature changes, but there
are a number of bug fixes, and just general runtime issues.  I Have a hope
to have amarok working better on os x before the release, but I wouldn't
consider it a showstopper either way.

Translators: a quick look shows not many strings have changed since v2.8,
and nothing has changed that recently.  Obviously the more translations we
can include the better, so if you have some free time to check in on Amarok
over the next week or so we would certainly appreciate it.

Dan,
