Bug Description
The Basenji 0.8 release available in precise has some nasty bugs that have been fixed in Basenji 0.9 (available in debian unstable).
In particular:
- Frequent crashes because of unstable libextractor 0.5 dependency
- Windows can't be closed in GNOME 3
The 0.9 release has been tested in Basenji's unstable ppa for a couple of month without any bugreports being filled.
Release notes:
Basenji 0.9 mainly brings stability fixes - in particular Basenji's metadata backend, libextractor, has been replaced by taglib#. Being used by popular programs like Banshee and F-Spot for years, taglib# is a very well tested library that reliably serves metadata for image, video and audio files. Even if taglib# chockes on a file, it can't crash Basenji (like libextractor used to do) since it's completely written in managed code.
* Migrated to taglib-sharp
