Re: [Audacity-devel] Working on a BPM ruler

[Vaughan J. <va...@au...>]

Thanks, Barry. Sounds like a reasonable project.

We are officially in feature freeze, trying to fix all high priority
bugs so we can release a new stable 2.0 version instead of more betas.
So if you provide a patch, it's unlikely we'll add it to trunk until
after we release 2.0, unless it's easily contained in a compiler
directive so it's turned off for normal builds.
