[Easyh10-devel] Release plan for 1.3

[nyaochi <ny...@ny...>]

Hi all,

First of all, I'd like to introduce Barry Wardell, who is working on the
Cocoa GUI frontend for EasyH10. He's already become a member of EasyH10
project as a developer and comitted his work continuously into the CVS.
I'd like to express a warm welcome to Barry on behalf of EasyH10 project
members.

It's been for about two months since the last release (1.2.1). The
version seems to be so stable that I didn't get any confirmed bug
report for 1.2.1. However, the firmware version 2.51 still has a trouble
of shuffle playback and some users complained that they didn't get all
music randomly played. To improve this situation by enhancing playlist
conversion, I'm planning a new version 1.3. Here's the release plan:
- (done) [common] Automatic shuffling playlist (*.sfl.*)
- (done) [common] Regular Expression Playlist (*.rep)
- (done) [Win32 GUI] Hebrew translation
- (nearly done?) [Cocoa GUI] Releasing MacOS binary with barrywardell's
frontend
- (not yet) [common] Converter for tuner presets
- (not yet) [common] Testing especially to check REP functionality and
build problem
- (skipping?) [Win32 GUI] Dutch translation if it's submitted.

The support of Regular Expression Playlist requires a dependency to
regex library and might break the build system. I confirmed that the
current CVS HEAD could be built successfully at least on Fedore Core 2.
It would be much appreciated if you could test the CVS version in your
platform and let me know the result.

Thanks,
Nyaochi
