However as an end user, I would have liked a visible or audible reward for having upgraded. [...] Therefore, the "tester" should be rewarded with some new feature that makes the process "feel" worthwhile in my opinion.
I like the idea of getting rewarded, get colorful presents or even gift packs :-)
This is my way to keep my rewards as big as possible:
I read the
Changelog and count the
News or
Bugfixes.
If I luckily find a topic I which I proposed somewhere in the forum, I count it double :-)
Then I decide if I might upgragde or not. (running system vs. maybe not running or instabil system)
In My case:
New ID3: add custom ID-tag reading/searching
New ID3: add multitag support for genre
New ID3: add multitag support for mood
New SCAN: settings to ignore symbolic links
New SCAN: settings to ignore files/folders during scan
New SEARCH: Apache Lucene 8.0.0 implementation (better search capabilities)
New SEARCH: improved search results
New GUI: option to show multivalues (genre, moods)
New GUI: use embedded cover art
New GUI: individual sorting on tables
New SCAN: improved folder scanning
As well as
New DLNA: new experimental implementation in courtesy of Allen Petersen
New SCROLLBAR: refactor implementation
Bugfix PLAYQUEUE: fix lost snyc after rerangement
Bugfix SYSTEM: fix exception without internet connectivity
Bugfix THEME: fix browser issues
Internal upgrades are mostly ...erm... internal and won't show any fancy banner/icons/stars aka new working menu-items.
When I upgrade to betas, I expect more bugfinding and troubleshooting than a smoothy running alltimes best working piece of software.
I guess and hope, that the new logo is not all the news we will find while listening to our music with MadSonic ;-)
