[opus] Please report issues; and submit any patches you've made
The libopus reference implementation release as libopus 1.0.1 has been _really_ thoroughly tested by the people that work on it. This doesn't make it bug or issue free but it does mean that remaining issues are unlikely to be found by the people working on it? they're more likely to be found by people integrating it or putting it to use in environments we under test or didn't even imagine. So if people don't report them, they probably won't get fixed. (I'm mostly referring to straight forward software glitches; encoder perceptual improvements are still ongoing... but basic software QA now depends on public feedback) We're generally quite responsive to clear reports; often committing fixes, at least for straightforward software issues, within minutes at least if they're reported when the core developers are awake. There are a small collection of fixes post 1.0.1 already sitting in GIT: https://git.xiph.org/?p=opus.git;a=shortlog Around October first we will probably branch git master for a 1.0.2 release and then merge in all of the long-in-the-pipeline encoder improvements that have been in the works and develop them towards release. It would be better if all the 1.0.1 errata gets in before we do that merge so we're not having to apply them twice. So please, anyone with software issues to report, portability patches to other platforms, etc. get them posted. Thanks!
