I don't know if doom9 uses to review open source projects. But i've
never seen reviews using experimental code. Koepi's builds are cvs
snapshots + the koepi's decision to include square me or ... i would
have never used that to test a codec. I'm not criticizing koepi, I'm criticizing doom9's choice.
When someone has to review the codec, it should use a stable release
(or the current stable snapshot, as our releases are not called
releases). I would have laugh if someone had tested mozilla 2 years
ago with a nightly build : "well mozilla is shit, it crashes all the
time, renders an html page in more than 1 minute..." or tested my
speedtouch usb driver cvs when i'm working on new features...
Perhaps the solution is koepi proposes a stable - use for review
binary... don't know.
