Re: [Banshee-List] Banshee 1.6.1 - late announcement



First off, congratulations Banshee team! This is just an awesome project. I'm a bit disappointed it hasn't made it into an Ubuntu release as a default app, it certainly deserves to be considered in my view. I'm sure they have their reasons though.

I have a quick question about the PPA's though, up to the 1.6 release I kept up with Banshee 1.5.x series through the Banshee Stable PPA here:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/banshee-team/ppa/ubuntu

I was under the impression that 1.5.x was an unstable series (even though it was as stable as ever for me)
and was planning to keep up with development by keeping that same PPA. It seems as if the 1.7 builds are
happening here, however:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/banshee-team/banshee-unstable/ubuntu

Previously I had never seen the unstable PPA used. Can someone clarify what is happening for curiosities sake?
Also, would all the changes happening in the current stable 1.6.x be reflected in 1.7.x as they come out?

Thank you

Dave
