The title basically says it all if you don't want to read my likely rambling thoughts, etc.
When I set this up there'd already been a beta tester group in place for some time & I didn't want to make this into a pay to beta test option. However it's come up a number of times now that that's what's expected.

WACUP beta build 1.7.1.11862 is now available to the beta testers & might finally have resolved the stability issues from the WACUP code that have been plaguing it over the last few months.

Not sure how this update is going to come out as it hasn't been the best of months with no beta build though there's been a lot of testing including some who've been running interim builds to help validate & resolve some specific & at times long running issues that have been affecting them & some others which as w...

Another month & another year of WACUP & it's fair to say it's not where I'd have expected things to be when I started on this 6 years ago with a plug-in pack that's now evolved into the potential of it's own player. So to those who've stuck around all of this time & who are helping to allow me to keep doing this, ...

Four in a row, woo :) Well another month & I suspect like a lot of us it's been another weird one in either not meeting the goals planned or things just getting in the way. However it's gone I can only hope it's been as best as possible whatever the circumstances. So onto this month's summary which I'm not sure how ...
2021-12-31 16:35:14 +0000 UTC View PostLikely the last one for the year & not where I'd expected to be but still a solid build sans some needed features, WACUP beta 1.5.11.9630 & yesterday's 1.5.10.9620 is now up for the beta testers.

Related to expanding the range of platforms, thanks to your support I did splash out on being a corporate supporting monster & picked up a discounted Raspberry Pi 400 during the black Friday 'month' that seems to go on where I am.s is stability is at a point that I'm happy with (as I hope is the case for the beta testers)...

Things that still need to be done before a new public preview build happens include:

2021-11-20 18:22:59 +0000 UTC View PostThis month has been an odd one as its not felt like it was productive since there were only 3 beta builds (9136, 9166 & last night's 9278) but on a quick review of those 3 changelogs & with an overall drop in the crash reports seen from the builds it has gone better than I thought :)

As a small treat to end &/or start the month off, #WACUP #beta 1.5.5.9278 is now available to the beta testers & along with 1.5.3.9166 it should finally get WACUP to the level of stability I want from it & am sure any user wants to have too😜

As some of you may know I've not been adding new beta testers for the past few months as almost 5yrs of people coming & going has left it in a mess.

In the gradual effort to not need bits of Winamp 5.666 to run it, #WACUP #beta 1.5.2.9136 is the 1st attempt to meet this goal.
There's limitations - no equaliser & modern skin support but it's a start.

2021-10-20 00:07:03 +0000 UTC View PostIt's fair to say this month & also August haven't really gone to plan when it comes to WACUP's development since the plan for July had been to have had a new preview build out which is still a way off due to recurring stability issues with the replacement local media library plug-in (aka multi-threading can be hard at tim...

Dunno what the hosting provider has decided to do last night as part of their maintenance work nor can I see any site files via ftp (empty dir) so I'm not happy (I do have recent local backups).
