Request For Comments: Snakeoil 1.2.0 (Gear Isolation)

[agent_kith]

So U5 shows an early preview of what is to come for Gear Isolation. Right now you can setup your Qobuz and Tidal configuration in that tiny options text box. Not ideal. Which is why in Blind Testing U6, I hope to revamp the GUI to make it a lot better. Obviously as always this will be available only in activated editions.

So what's are the other features planned for U6?

1. Bridging. Seems more and more people want to bridge their multi NIC PC to play their music. Setting the bridge up is actually pretty straight forward. Designing the Web interface to do this less so. Which is why the configuration isn't available. Well, you can do this in U6.
   
2. Convolution. Thanks to Snoopy8's walkthough (i'd split his post into a dedicated thread in the walkthrough sections when I can), this will hopefully make it's way into the next update. And once in there, we'll slowly expand and build on it.
   

All these will be available only in activated editions for now. When Isolation Gear is official, these will slowly make it's way out to the free edition.

Speaking of activated, I'm going to move the "Ubuntu Update" command to activated editions only. As it is still buggy so will need to be sorted out properly before public release. So when you become a patreon or a PayPal donation, you're really signing yourself up to be a alpha/beta tester too. And again, I appreciate the generous gesture.

You can always checkout the current Snakeoil roadmap to know the progress of the development, and where the project is heading. Any suggestions, raise them here.
