Isaac (et al.),

With all the changes to DB structure, file locations, etc., etc., just
wondering if we have an ETA for the 0.6 release. There are few maxims I place
more faith in than "release early, release often". But (!) I'd like to try
and figure out if the DB changes have stabilized enough so that I can add my
own (mythWEB preferences, a notion of favourites, etc., etc.) without being
so confusing as to be counter-productive.

Also, I'm assuming that the patches of the last few hours solved the libmyth
"globalsettings" problem (?). If not, do I need to provide details?

BR,

Thor

I want to have support for multiple recordings in 0.6. Starting work on that
is next on my list. I don't have an ETA, though.. It has been quite awhile
since the last release, but there really haven't really been all that many
user-visible changes. So, really, go ahead and make whatever changes you
want. I'll be sure to pre-announce the release in enough time to get
everything stable for it.

I kinda mean for that to be that way -- it's something I'll clean up a bit
when I make it into more of a traditional lib instead of just a loose
collection of classes. Have a MythContext that each program using the
library needs to initialize, etc.
