Miro 2.0 rc1 released!

I built and posted Miro 2.0 rc1 builds in the sticky section of the nightlies page (http://pculture.org/nightlies).

We have a set of pre-release 2.0 release notes that still need updating but are pretty up-to-date at https://develop.participatoryculture.org/trac/democracy/wiki/2.0ReleaseNotes.

Please post any bugs to http://bugzilla.pculture.org/ with the version as 2.0-rc1. Please include as much information as possible. See GoodBugReports for more details.

To put this in some context, this is a HUGE release for us. We've been working hard on Miro 2.0 since May or thereabouts. It's good to get to the end of the development cycle. At the same time, there are things we're leaving on the table that we'll address in future versions.

Last call for translation help--if you're a translator and familiar with Launchpad, we could use your help! https://translations.launchpad.net/democracy.

I want to send a huge thank you for all the people who have contributed to Miro development thus far especially people I've worked with like Alex, Uwe, Keith, Pan, Robbt, Sedat, Lukasz, Arvid, Elmargol, and others.

Also, thank you to my life partner, Sadie, who has put up with me fixing bugs and doing a release candidate on my birthday.

Finally, happy birthday to me! w00t!

Happy birthday! And great work on Miro. What a better bday present than a personal accomplishment :)

Congrats on the RC1 release. Happy Birthday! You all are awesome for getting to this point. I've been a nightly follower for quite some time (albeit not a bug contributer) so great work!

Thank you! Miro 2.0 is a huge release for us. It's good to get it moving out the door even if it's not quite perfect.

This is awesome! The program and the feed lists finally load fast on my 5 year old XP-SP3 machine. Interface tweaks a great too. TODO list: - I'm only seeing music visualizations instead of video playback. Audio is just fine. - Reduce feed spacing (I'm always getting the scroll bar, where I used to see all my feeds in a glace) - In some areas the default windows interface color is still visible, where it shouldn't (downloading.

Nice! Any chance of a deb (Ubuntu, Intrepid) package somewhere? Anyone? :)

Please keep comments appropriate. I reserve the right to remove anonymous comments, flames, spammy, inappropriate, and other comments that I deem to be worth removing.

Note: New comments get placed in a "draft" status and will NOT show up on the site until I explicitly approve it. Usually that happens within 24 hours, but sometimes I go away and it takes a day or two.

Note 2: There is now a preview button for those of you who want to see a preview! However, it doesn't quite work the way you'd think it should work. I'll look into adjusting it some day.

Note 3: If you can't for some reason post a comment, send me an email: willg at bluesock dot org.
