show me the bugs!
I´m about to forbid myself from implementing new features for the time being. I have a rough schedule in my mind about where I want Focus to go and how and when to get there.
This means that I want Focus to reach what you could call 1.0 beta status in, but preferably before, september. For that reason I have to concentrate on fixing bugs and usability issues, concentrating on fine tuning things.
So this is a call to anyone having issues, either small or big, don´t hesitate to let me know. This is not limited to things not working (properly), usability issues are requested too. A good example of this is LoL´s comment about the pause/play button needing to be the default selected when bringing up the osd controls. A little thing that makes a big difference imo. It´s things like this you sometimes look over when working on the skin on a bigger scale.
Feature request will have to wait for the time being. I don´t mind you posting them, and at some point I will look at them, but I won´t be accepting nor dismissing them for now.
The above does not mean that I expect Focus to be final in september and that it won´t change anymore after that. But I would really like to start work on code cleaning/optimizing and resolution specific changes, and I need the foundations to be stable otherwise i´ll keep cross-fixing stuff and creating a chaos for myself. It´s expected that Focus will keep changing for a long time as xbmc itselfs keeps changing.
