Normally you may upgrade between test releases up to the final stable release.
Skins
Generally, Default/wide skins should be used in test releases. Although there are exceptions when a new skin feature is added but not implemented in the Default skins. However do not expect skins to be updated instantly to support these test releases. Contact the skin developer directly via our Skins Forum
Source code
MediaPortal is open source software and now uses Git (GItHub), a revision control system to maintain current and historical versions of our source code. To learn how to access the source code, see GitHub (Git)
Snapshots
Instead of SVN snapshots or nightly builds, test builds are now provided in our forum: Area 51 - Testing Area. This forum stores test builds of bugfixes and features that are currently in development.
Stable Releases
Stable releases are only issued once we feel confident that all bugs have been resolved during the release process.
To download the latest stable release, always consult our Download page.
