@pyrodex - the Team has settled on a different timeline structure - basically each month has a merge window for features and improvements, followed by a bug-fix feature-freeze, on a monthly cycle. We are hoping to pass review and hit the merge cycle for May. If that happens then 11.6 (Release 11-June) will have AE, and be in the nightlies
@jayhawk - it'll likely be in place at merge, so sometime during May near the end of the month.

Also, for anyone who wants to follow the review process in Git, pull request #900 is the pr. You can view it here.
For Windows stuff there's my repo (DDDamian on git) or you can track gnif's (gnif on git) for the complete picture with OSx, Alsa, Pulse, BSD, etc.

To be clear. Those will still be nightlies and not official releases each month.

Not sure if you now the answer to this guys but how is OSX doing with AE? Can it bitstream HD audio or is it still restricted by the OS?
RE: [Windows] AudioEngine testers - Windows platform only - DDDamian - 2012-04-25 19:09
T800 - TrueHD can be decoded, DTS-MA only core. Sorry, just an OS limitation we can't get around.

Yep, dot releases. There's a huge amount of work that goes into "official" releases like 10.0 Dharma, 11.0 Eden, etc - these are 11.5, 11.6 etc
The intent is to have more frequent inclusions of major work, meaning shorter cycles for inclusions and testing so things can be rolled in faster (like the ffmpeg version bump or AE) without waiting for a major release and the long debug cycles.

If we have a build to play with I am more than willing to test it, just hoping for no Schema changes in the DB that would prevent my system that doesn't need AE at this time to be moved to an AE build.
RE: [Windows] AudioEngine testers - Windows platform only - DDDamian - 2012-04-25 19:35
@pyrodex - build will be based on latest master (post-Eden), and uses myVideos61.db and myMusic20.db

Ok so I will have to move my 2nd htpc to AE since I use a shared mysql db. Thanks for the tidbit!

An option is to use portable mode (add -p after the command line in the shortcut) as it will create local databases and not mess with your main ones. Then simply add test files to the locally created library
