libmtp crashes (1.5 backport request)

[jane]

Hi,
I have an iriver clix, and my libmtp doesn't work with it properly. but i think from reading the libmtp pages, that this is exactly the problem fixed between 1.3 (in feisty) and 1.5 (now in gutsy). Could there please be a backport of this to feisty?
thanks!!

Backports are for new features, not bug fixes. Are their new features that would warrant a backport?

Scott- sorry I didn't see the quesion a month or so back.
Are there new features?.... well, it depends whether you count on getting anything to recognise my hardware as a new feature. obviously it would be a massive new feature for me (and would allow me to have a whole new feature in my pocket...) but, unfortunately probably version 1.5 is a bug fix over 1.3. The changelog summaries detail this:

On the other hand, perhaps someone would consider 0.2.1 to have "new features" worthy of a backport, if version 0.1,5 doesn't cut the mustard?

I've just seen that a 0.2.1 backport request has also been made: https://bugs.launchpad.net/feisty-backports/+bug/135363
