Lms 7.8?

[bobertuk]

Following a hint in another thread

Is LMS 7.8 just a continuation of 7.7 bug fixes or is there going to be anything new?

If there is something new going into 7.8 any news/hints about what it/they will be?

It will be a major update.

Make the thing nicer to use. Eg. my first checkin to SP 7.8 is to loosen
the upgrade/downgrade mechanism: when 7.8.0 is being released, but you
prefer to stick with 7.7.7 for a while, you might no longer see the
firmware screen whenever you switch from LMS to mysb.com.

If LMS still has that name by then anyway :-).

i think it would make a lot of sense for you guys to implement some bugs that have a lot of votes, why not do that? do you guys care about votes or no?

also, the antique home>whatever method sucks, as does the "one master list" that doesn't allow to browse by artist, or AA, or whatever on the fly.

why not redesign that so that there are a couple of default sort methods and user made sort methods?

We do. Probably not at the level some might want us to care, but still.
Keep in mind that even 100 votes only represent a very small fraction of
our users. Other important channels are eg. the questionnaire every new
customer is invited to fill in after he registers for a product.

Michael: for those of us who like to follow along at home, would you be willing to give us your best guess as to when we'll see enough changes that it will be worth running the new svn code? A week? Two weeks? Or would you rather not have us peering over your shoulder quite yet?

I, for one, always find it gratifying to watch you guys try out new ideas.

And the larger fraction live with the bugs and or don't know how to file a bug report or vote on one.

There seem to be missing bugs fixes from 7.7 tree.

Looking at the 7.8 tree in meld, it seems to be missing fixes for bugs 15001, 17422 and 17885. Both in the change log and in the code... is that intentional?

Thought I'd ask the question before the tree's diverge to far.

Thanks.

Phill.

Andy updated about an hour or two ago. Should be fine now.
