The playlist rewrite I detail in this blogpost is an internal technical refactor, so you're absolutely right, it's not a relevant thing for the users.
It is independant of the UI. In theory, it could have been used with the old UI, but technically a big part of the old UI code would have needed to be rewritten to use the new core playlist.
Since a new modern UI is being developed, this was not worth the effort to do the work twice. So only the new UI will use the new playlist/player.

The master branch is a development branch. Everything has been merged recently to avoid that everyone work on their own branch and resolve conflicts all the time, and the new components need to interact (playlist, player, clock, media library, qt ui…). But it's in development, it's not a release.
- Krasnol 7y agoThank you for your work.
- stevekemp 7y ago12 years ago I wrote a blog post being annoyed that when using Xine in "random shuffle" mode - pressing "previous track" did not replay the previous track. https://blog.steve.fi/it_eats_the_pain.html https://blog.steve.fi/it_eats_the_pain.html If VLC can now do that properly, which I think is what I took from your blog post, that's a huge change which makes me very happy, and would make me switch back.
- rom1v 7y agoI'm glad that supporting "previous" in random mode will not be useless, then :)
