MediaPortal 1.0 RC3 RELEASED As promised in the previous news, we are releasing MediaPortal 1.0 RC3 today. Before you scroll down to the end of the page to get your hands on the download, we would like you to read the following lines as they contain some important information regarding this release!
#A new Style! We are very happy to announce that with MediaPortal 1.0 RC3 we release the first version of the new default skin named Blue3. It's a completely redesigned skin which features some new and very cool animations, which were added to the SkinEngine recently. In MediaPortal 1.0 RC3 "only" the 4:3 version of Blue3 is included. But we've already started with the "wide" (16:9) version which will be part of the untested weekly svn builds soon. In MediaPortal 1.0 RC3 the "old" skins Blue2 and Blue2wide are still included, but they will be fully replaced by Blue3 and Blue3wide when finished. # Even though Blue3 is a 4:3 skin, we would like you to test it on 16:9 displays and share your opinion in the newly created Blue3 sub-forum about what we should change for the wide version in order to profit from the additional width of 16:9 displays...
# Bugfixes Since the last release our team was able to eliminate a lot of bugs in MediaPortal, TV-Server, Deploytool and the NSIS-installers.
Again, the great support from the community made this possible. Special thanks to the users that took some time to test issues and create proper bug reports by following the Support and Bugreport guideline...
