Hello everyone. Due to the sheer number and magnitude of new user-visible features in the next Mixxx release, months ago RJ, Owen and I decided that this release will officially be Mixxx v2.0.
1.12 was just a code name. :D
We feel it's better than 1.11 in every way and contains such
long-awaited and much-requested features (four decks, effects and
resize-able skins most notably,) and so much work from you all to make
it happen that this version bump is well-deserved. We hope you agree.
There are a few tasks remaining that _must_ be completed before we can
release:
* User manual updates - text and screen shots, proofreading
https://github.com/mixxxdj/manual/issues
* String translations
http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/internationalization
* Manual translations
https://www.transifex.com/organization/mixxx-dj-software/dashboard/mixxxdj-manual
* Controller preset/mapping updates - we prefer you submit Pull
Requests but we'll check the forums for updates too
http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/hardware_compatibility
* Testing - especially any issues with file tags in the library and
live streaming/broadcasting
We will be releasing a Release Candidate (RC) in the next week or
two against which you should test.
So we can get this release done as soon as possible, please choose a
task above you have time and desire to help with.
We also want to outline our release policy moving forward. To ensure
timely future releases, at the time a new version is released, a branch
for the next release will be created, containing whatever complete
features that exist in Master/Trunk at that time. An alpha release of
that branch will then follow shortly.
This will allow us to release much more quickly (on the order of
months,) getting new features into users' hands much sooner. This will
also avoid feature-creep since we developers can rest in knowing that
our almost-ready feature that missed this version will be released in
just a few short months.
Thank you again for your continued interest in Mixxx and all of the time
and talent you've given and continue to give to the project. DJs
literally all across the world are extremely grateful!
The Mixxx leadership also sincerely wish you and your families a very
happy Holiday season.
Sincerely,
Sean M. Pappalardo
