Status of MediaPortal 1.2.0 Beta
Recently we had to decide if we either want to postpone some of the outstanding issues for 1.2.0 Beta to a later release in order to make it for the initial release target date, or give MediaPortal 1.2.0 Beta a few more weeks to deliver the version we planned to.
One of the main reasons for the delay is the new Plugin Compatibility Check, which we announced in the previous news. For 1.2.0 Beta, we wish to resolve all issues that require plugins to be recompiled and reinstalled so they only have to be done once and not again in future releases of 1.2.0.
Thus, we concluded that it is in the best interest of our community and MediaPortal to spend a bit more time on development and provide you with the quality product our great community deserves!
Those of you who want to keep a close eye on our development process, should monitor our roadmaps on Mantis.
There you will always find the current estimated date of release.
You may also keep an eye on our Twitter feed for short updates and information about 1.2.0 Beta development!
Hint: As soon as all projects (Installers/MediaPortal/TV-Server) hit 100% for 1.2.0 Beta, we enter a code freeze and do final testing. Usually this is 7 - 14 days before the public release.
