This may have been requested already...

Could we get Listitem.Property(artist_path) and Listitem.Property(album_path) added in as well?

Thanks,

Updated with a change to the slider control. The nib texture now maintains aspect ratio, so make sure you test your skins to check it's not all messed up (it should still look the same for most stuff).

Cheers,
Jonathan

I'm trying to fix a skin (Big Alaska) to work with the latest nightlies...

this seems to no longer work:

Code:
<visible>substring(system.time,PM,right)</visible>

and always evaluates to false... what do I need to change?

edit: and the default date format seems to have changed as well. Any way to get the long date format (eg, Tuesday, August 9, 2011, instead of Tue, Aug 9, 2011)

I follow trac pretty close, but there are large amount of new skinning features and changes coming up for eden, that even I find it hard to keep track of them all. I realize that the developers have more than their hands full, but at some point could this thread begin to include/list/outline some of the changes and new features. I see the threads in here popping up every other day and it all sounds like great stuff, but I just don't want to lose track of all the changes I need to make or can be making. It can be over whelming when you actively have 4-5 skins you maintain and are working on.

@ekim232:
Providing detailed changelog is on my to-do list, but I still have important features/changes before that. If we push something that need skin modification we publish it but most of our changes doesn't require You to do anything (at very least we try to provide backward compatibility).
