What points have to be done to finish 1.7.x and to get to 1.8.0.

In the years I've been using VDR, there has always been many development versions before Klaus has released a new stable so based on past experience, I wouldn't expect to see 1.8.0 any time soon. There are some big changes in 1.7.x and I guess it could go either way. He might want to release a new stable after the major stuff has been implimented and tested, saving the little things for the next development line. Or he could just take it slow & easy.

One nice thing I've learned is that most dev versions are pretty damn stable themselves. I've been running dev versions probably 90%+ of the time on my main vdr box. :)

Yeah, that too. Which has driven some of us crazy but I can't honestly say I'd be any different if I were Klaus. There's something about setting your own schedule/priorities that's more appealing then answering to peoples expectations. The good news is that he's willing to shuffle the TODO list if there's more urgent things to take care (as with HDTV and h264 support for example).

Like I said, I've ran mostly dev versions of VDR for years with little to no problems but be advised that your experience may vary.
