Well, that's what a "stable" version is by definition ;-) It gets actual bugs fixed (see the latest 1.4.6-1 maintenance patch), but other than that there are no more big changes. The new stuff goes into the 1.5 developer version and will ultimately result in a stable version 1.6 one day. > Now that is not a > problem on it's own, stability is good, but if the 1.5 devel > branch gets new features constantly with no feature freeze in > site...hopefully people understand where I'm going with this. We're not on any kind of schedule here. Remember that VDR is being developed (at least on my end) in spare time. The stable version 1.4 is well fit for every day operation (I really use it a *lot* - watching tv without it would be totally unthinkable to me ;-), and I'm gradually implementing new things in the 1.5 developer version. Right now I'm busy with the UTF-8 stuff. I admit that there have been (sometimes long) periods of time where there hasn't been anything new from my side, but that's because I do have a live besides VDR (well, at least a little...). > I'll once again remind everyone reading this that I don't > have all the facts concerning this project at hand and there > might very well be a roadmap which is strictly followed, and > if this is the case all is good and you can ignore this > message =) As I've stated on several occasions: I don't like official roadmaps. They tend to become sort of binding, and if - for some reason - a new release actually doesn't contain a feature that was promised on the roadmap, all sorts of complaints might emerge. I do observe the mailing list and all the suggestions and patches posted here or sent to me in private emails, but I like to be free to actually implement whatever I see fit at my own pace. Hope that's ok with you ;-) Klaus _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
