We plan to release RC2 in the next few weeks. We have made excellent progress and already nailed a lot of bugs since the release of RC1. We were able to do this because of the excellent help from the community.
On behalf of the Team I wish to thank you all for following the bug report guidelines. We received many excellent bug reports, maybe the best we ever have, and this is what has enabled us to move so quickly. So keep up the great work, you are making me a very happy man!
As a result, we have decided to not create any public SVN snapshots but instead publish RC releases in a short cycle.
As a bonus, we have decided to allow all users of RC1 to upgrade to RC2 and then to the final version of MP 1.1.0. You will not have to do a clean install of MP for the next releases.
Due to the fundamental changes before RC1, any upgrade of earlier versions is not possible.
RC2 is already looking like it will be a very stable release and if we do not encounter any problems, we hope to release MP 1.1.0 soon after.

We are very pleased to announce the release of Mediaportal 1.1.0 RC1.
Since the release of 1.1.0 Beta 1 we have done some major changes to increase the stability of MediaPortal 1.1.0, the compatibillity between our TsReader filter and 3rd party videocodecs etc.

The team would like to thank everyone who sent us patches!
We have been very pleased with the response from the community to our Submit Patches forum. In fact, I would say it has been a huge success. So many thanks to all of you who have contributed, and helped make MediaPortal even better.
However, some of our contributors in other areas have pointed out that the same attention was not being given to submissions for EPG Grabbers and Tuning Details, Localization files for MP and the Deploy Tool, or Movie Info Grabbers.
They were right! Those contributions were being submitted in the General Forum under Jobs and Tasks. As a result they were often overlooked by our Developers and did not follow the same procedures as our code/patch submissions.
Our developer Dukus is currently reworking the MediaPortal
Extensions Installer (MPEI) for the upcoming MediaPortal 1.1.0 release.
The reason for this rework is simple. The MPEI (a fast and very easy way to install skins, plugins and other extensions) is simply not used by the majority of community skin designers and plugin developers.
Now
Dukus is recreating MPEI from scratch to make it more powerful and flexible. This will allow everyone
to create even "complex" installation packages with ease.
But to achieve that he needs your comments and feedback.
If you want to help, then please have a look the new thread in our forums which Dukus created.
