the TODO list

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.
