For us developers, alpha means: no new features, but there's still a few days left to complete existing unfinished features. With the beta release, the code freeze will begin: only bug fixes accepted. Our main task (besides dealing with bug reports) is the review of all new features. An important thing that comes into my mind is the user manual. I have started it in doc/user.xml. Please help finishing it! That's a task which every experienced MPD user can contribute to, not just developers. I'm still accepting patches for new features, but they're going to be merged into a the experimental branch - which will be merged back to mainline for 0.16 development.

Re: [Musicpd-dev-team] MPD should obsolete manual db updates.
I'll express the same dissenting opinion I have on the bug tracker: I think this is a really bad idea, and if it's implemented at all it should be implemented carefully. When you have a large amount of music to add to the database (imagine you just found your long-lost CD album at the bottom of your closet..) you will generate a new database update every 5-10 minutes, if not several in a row every 5-10 minutes. (10 new files = 10 folder modification notifications, 10 songs per album, 1 minute per song to rip and encode, 100 CDs in my cd case right now.. all averages.) that will end up causing the mpd database to be re-written each time there's an update, which will cause the file system to reallocate the space for the database right then and there each time. this will probably lead to a high amount of database fragmentation on a fairly moderately full file system. Not to mention that updating the MPD database causes stuttering during playback on every system I have.
