MediaPortal 1.1.0 RC2 RELEASED!

With the release of Mediaportal 1.1.0 RC2 we are one step closer to the final release.

Testing and bug reporting:

 

To ensure that 1.1.0 final is as bugfree as possible, we need your help!
Please take your time to test this RC2 carefully and report bugs you found in our related bug report forums.

Please do not post results of 1.1.0 RC 2 testing anywhere else.

Please follow the Bug report guidelines when reporting issues. If you don't, then the bug report will not help our developers and it will be removed to keep the forums clean.  

Help with Development:

 

If you are a developer, then you can help us to make MediaPortal 1.1.0 a great release. You can post your bug fixes directly in the dedicated ::submit patches forum:: . Our developers will review and add them to SVN once approved.

Please be aware that we do not accept new feature patches for 1.1.0 because we are in a Feature freeze.

SVN-Testbuilds 

The team decided that we will not offer any SVN-Test builds before the release of 1.1.0 final. Instead, we concluded to release RC versions of MediaPortal 1.1.0 in a short cycle. 

The road to 1.1.0 final

 

Our release target for 1.1 final is Summer 2010. An earlier release might be possible, depending on the amount of help we receive from the community.

Finally the installer

A short notice before installing: Please do not use this RC2 on a productive system. It is pretty stable but might still contain some glitches. ;)

 

*update 2010-04-05*

Based on userreports we noticed that there are problems withing the update feature.

Because of that we recommend to use the "fresh install" option rather than "update".
