/branches/sbergen suitable for user testing?

hi sakari, hi ardour-devs!

is the sbergen branch suitable for user testing at this point? the
commit messages have made me curious to try it out.
i don't mind gotchas in the export dialog, but is it likely that bugs in
other areas have been introduced? more specifically, will there be a
problem with sessions that are opened in branch and trunk alternatingly?

thanks and best regards,

jörn

The changes in my branch are only export and metadata related. So
anything that works in the 3.0 branch, should work in my branch also.
That being said, the 3.0 branch usually has problems loading 2.X
sessions and is quite unstable regarding audio.

Running sessions saved from my branch should not cause problems when
opened in 3.0. It saves some extra information into the session file
(metadata) and into instant.xml files (export setup). The metadata and
export setup gets lost when saved in 3.0. But, since export doesn't work
in 3.0 anyway I don't see this as a problem :)

Some people have already been testing it out, and I'm always interested
in getting feedback and crash reports. I try to fix all crashes ASAP,
but I can't promise anything regarding feature requests.
(#ardour@freenode is the preferred communication channel, you can always
write to me there, and I'll read it when I'm at my computer. E-mail is
ok too.)

Things are quite stable right now, but I'll soon be adding
multiplication support (i.e. exporting many specifications at once) and
stuff might get a bit unstable again...

Thanks for all the testers so far!
