Miro Community 1.2 status
- Miro Community 1.2 has shipped! Congratulations to the MC team!
Miro 4.0 status (roadmap)
- lots of flux in git-master, but the code is stabilizing
- working on metadata support, device syncing, performance enhancements,
extensions, streaming to other devices (ipad, ...), ...
- working on project infrastructure: wiki, nightlies, nightly runs of
unit tests, ...
- probably a release in May or June--we're working hard on it!
Will:
- Ubuntu Natty releases on April 28th. I've spent some time already
making sure that Miro works on Natty and we have a helper script
already. I'm planning to wait until it's out before I spend a ton
of time fixing issues.
- I want to set up a second PPA for testing on Ubuntu Maverick and
Natty. That'll alleviate issues people are having with missing
dependencies when testing Miro on Ubuntu. Planning to wait until
the release candidate cycle to set this PPA up.
- I'm mostly done with the new Add Files dialog, but there are some
outstanding issues I'm still working on.
- I plan to do my work on Windows for the next week.
Paul:
- Worked on ui tickets all week.
- Waiting on log files for device-related issues.
- Spent time on Miro Guide getting a development server going so
that he can spend some time on Miro Guide stuff.
Kaz:
- Working on issues in local branches.
- Working mostly on OSX next week.
Jonas:
Geoffrey:
- Working on sort ui issues for standard view.
- No big issues--mostly just cruising through bugs.
Ben:
- Worked on bugs--got a bunch of P1 bugs done.
Janet:
- Caught a cold and feels icky.
- Working on testing Miro and Universal Subtitles things. Feels
like the current round of bugs are smaller and less "this whole
thing is totally broken".
Order of business:
- Talked about where we're at with Miro 4.0. Lot of newly created
bugs over the last week, but we're done with new features. Bugs
are getting smaller and more specific. We're getting close to
a release candidate.
- Talked about setting up a miro-testing PPA for Ubuntu Maverick and
Natty. We're going to wait on this until the release candidate
phase.
- Talked about the plan for Natty. We've done some testing already
and some setup and Miro looks ok so far. When Natty releases (April
28th), one or more of us will upgrade and do more granular testing.
Will is working on an appindicator support extension. At some point
Will plans to look at what things we can do to fit into the Unity
and GNOME 3 interfaces better, too.
- git master is in pretty heavy flux right now and because of that
nightlies are probably unstable--use them at your own risk. This
will sort itself over time when there are fewer massive changes
being made. If you're interested in testing, but don't want to test
bleeding edge, then it's worth waiting until we hit the release
candidate portion of the dev cycle. We're currently thinking that'll
be in a couple of weeks.
- Miro is developed by a community of people including you! If you
can't contribute your time and work to development, testing, and
translations, please consider contributing funding
by donating. Your
money goes directly to ongoing development of Miro and related
projects like Miro Community
and Universal
Subtitles.
See http://pculture.org/about/
for more details on these projects.
- Did you know there's a Miro User Manual? If you haven't looked at
it yet, it's worth taking a look at. You can find it
at http://manual.getmiro.com/.
