Public bug reported: Binary package hint: banshee
Banshee 1.5.3 (currently in Ubuntu) is 1.6.0 beta 3, 1.5.4 is beta 4. While there are a number of new features and enhancements with this release, the main reason for including this in Lucid should be for the bugfixes. This supports the Lucid goal of being a stable (LTS) release. Testing: I tested with Debian built binaries (amd64), upgrading from 1.5.3-1. Did general testing of: playback, media keys, edit tags, playlists, sorting, browsing, play queue, Last.fm, video. Everything seems to work. I tested for an hour so far, and will continue to use it daily. I had crashing/freezing problems with 1.5.3-1, which I have not experienced so far with 1.5.4-1. While I haven't done enough testing to indicate the problem is resolved, it seems that at least there are no additional regressions. Dependencies: libtaglib2.0-cil got a version bump to 2.0.3.6+dfsg-1 in Debian, so I tested with this version.
