While historically there has been a lot of disagreemenet in UI, etc I'm
more interested in the core features, such as net radio, system
notification stuff, tag editing, etc. Discussion has been made about how
to approach 'unfiying' the split, and in particular the relative states
of the net-rb, rb and monkey-media HEAD branches. We were wondering if
anyone could give some idea of the relative states of these three
branches, in terms of:-
1. Library backend - People have said that rb CVS has quite a mature
backend, how true is this? what features does rb have over net-rb?
2. Monkey-media - The HEAD cvs has support for a xine backend, what
other changes does it have compared to the snapsot in net-rb? What
changes has the snapshot in net-rb had done to it?
I want to steer clear of the UI issue for now, but as a general point if
people wanted to change the rb HEAD to an interface similar to net-rb
(discounting the additional features that net-rb currently has), how
difficult to you think that would be?
While I can see from the Changelogs what files and routhly what has
changed, In these points I'm interested in the general changes made, as
well as changes from a technical point of view (class restructuring, etc)
Many Thanks
Dave Rigby
