The todo list is stuff that must be done before the next "release" is ready to be released. These should all consist of detrimental misbehaviors or crashes or problems with the build system. For example, volume slider is not responding to real volume correctly would be one. Also, player forgets where theme is for no reason or crashes when you do a certain thing. I want to get a list of these problems with zinf compiled the recommended way. In windows this means no added optimizations, just stable nasm and vc6 and compilation via BuildAll.dsp. This is what will be packaged up on the site and this is what i care about. If someone in windows land wants to compile a different way and it causes problems, it's not gonna hold up this release unless they are giving me a patch to fix it. We need to test the linux client as extensively as possible to make sure no stupid bugs are left. We need to reformat and clean up code and all that but i think people have been waiting for a good release for too long and we can do that now and worry about how the code look later. any other OS's with zinf working correctly would be nice to know about too. Solaris 8 is one i think we work on. I'd like to bring all the README's and INSTALL's and such up to date. Build instructions need to be brought up to date. It's all about bug squashing from now on. So, anyone with bugs, just reply and add to the list. It has to be with the current cvs pull. I know there are a lot of issues with the windows port and selecting / adding files. I'm concerned about that .. and it's high on the priority list, but not exactly high enough to stop a release if they remain unresolved. I'm more concerned with streaming errors and bugs, because that's a strong point with zinf. Anyways when responding , feel free to remove all this text above, but keep the list appending. These are the types of problems i'd consider we cant release without being fixed: 1. anything that crashes/locks zinf besides playing corrupted or non-valid files. 2. a feature doesn't function and if a minor feature, cant be worked around. 3. preference options loss or resetting. so, lets get the list rolling. faster it's compiled the faster they can be squashed. If nobody really wants to, i'll also work on bringing the documentation up to date. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Dice - The leading online job board for high-tech professionals.
