Development is quite active for both versions of MediaPortal. The following describes our release process.

Release Process

Alpha, Beta and RC (Release Candidates) Test Releases

These releases are ONLY for testing bug fixes and new features or changes to features (reworks).

Our current policy is to shorten release cycles with less fixes/features in each release. This facilitates more accurate testing and reporting.

Bug reports for these releases should be submitted to the appropriate sub forum:

Development > MediaPortal Alpha's, RC's and SVN-Builds - for testing ONLY!

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.
