Bug Description

This current version has some serious issue since it was based off of the Master branch rather than the Stable branch.
The problems relate to unstable plugins, and features that were not ready for production.
Since Tursty is an LTS, only stable mature software should be in the repos.

These problems effect users in unpredictable ways that can lead to loss of user data which could be a potential security risk.

please fix this

[Impact]
Users of the Trusty version currently have half implemented features, and some that are broken. The Stable branch fixes those problems and protects the users from unexplained data loss. The Stable branch is the proper implementation of key features (like the Mixer), rather than the current unstable version

[Test Case]
Open LMMS look at the mixer. It is missing all the channels. This is a serious regression. Wattsyn is also an incomplete Synth, with many unpredictable results.

[Regression Potential]
Since there are half finished features in the Trusty version users that have not experienced any serious issues may have song files that wont work with the Stable version. However, backporting the version in Utopic would fix this issue, as it is version 1.0.1, which fixes those issues.

Hello Israel, or anyone else affected,

Accepted lmms into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lmms/1.0.0+stable-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

I just tested it! Thank you so much, this fixes the issue!
The mixer looks normal, there are no unstable plugins.
As a side note, I have tested this branch in a PPA previously, and generally have been recommending Ubuntu users to use that PPA.
This will be a huge improvement! Thanks again for your help in fixing this issue!

This bug was fixed in the package lmms - 1.0.0+stable-0ubuntu1

---------------
lmms (1.0.0+stable-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=medium

  [ Israel Dahl ]
  * Stable release instead of erronous master snapshot (LP: #1335542)
  * Backport two patches from stable branch:
    - fix-crash-on-close.patch
    - Fix-broken-command-line-rendering.-Should-always-che.patch

  [ Timo Jyrinki ]
  * Exact matching of the upstream tarball - auxiliary files and apply
    patches only during the build.
