The first package of our - now weekly build - SVN snapshots for RC1 has just been uploaded!
We are well on track for a RC2 release coming soon. As our roadmap reveals many RC1 related issues have been fixed already.
With the first Release Candidate of MediaPortal and TV-Server 1.0 we made a big step forward to the next stable release version.
We know that this is very exciting but please read the entire news before you start installing because it contains important information you need to know.
*The first release had a small problem regarding the TV-Server-Installation which could be fixed quickly so we've decided to release a fixed version (MediaPortal_Setup_1.0_RC1_Refesh.exe).*
We are preparing the final changes for the release of MediaPortal 1.0 RC1.
With this release we will make some fundamental changes.
It now contains MediaPortal 1.0 RC1, TV-Server 1.0 RC1 and the first version of our brand new DeployTool.
With this tool you are able to install every type of MediaPortal and/or TV-Server enviroment with just a few mouse clicks.
Automatic svn-builds have been suspended to ensure that they won't break current 0.2.3.0 installations. Once RC1 has been released the svn-builds will continue shortly after it with improved way of installing them.
Once we release MediaPortal and TV-Server 1.0 RC1, the svn builds will require these to be installed.
More details about the exciting RC1 release will be part of the release news next week.
Starting with the next build on Friday, the 4th April, we will use a new much improved installer script for the nightly svn snapshots. There were heavy changes for the installation routine so that there might still be some issues.
Keep in mind these builds are for testing purposes only and can cause much troubles, so DON'T use if stability is important for you.
The backup feature of the svn installer is rewritten, too. It should also work with Vista machines, now. But please backup you installation directory, the config files and databases by hand before using the installer.
Like always testing is much apreciated, bug reports and improvement suggestions are welcome, but don't moan if it is not working 100%, yet. ;)
