Installing SVN Builds (1 Viewer)

[dachande663]

Hi All,
I've been using MP for a few weeks now and haven't had too many problems. I recently switched to RC3 so I could use TVEngine 3 and have been impressed by the new features. I've been trying to keep my installation up to date so have been installing the svn builds, but I don't do everyone one, I normally wait for the weekend. My question is, do I need to install every SVN build or does each release contain all the changes made since the last release candidate? Thanks to anyone who can answer my question.

As far as I know you only need the latest, which contains all the changes since the last RC.

Thanks, I just wasn't sure if I was missing things in the older updates.

That's right.
You don't need every SVN.
Every snapshot currently contains all files (not only the ones that have changed).

One final question, with the TV Engine builds it says I have to uninstall the old one first then install the update. Will this lose my settings and is there an easier way of doing this? Thanks again.

Your TVserver settings are saved in the database and thus are kept from one version to the other.

A few weeks ago I experimented at the moment when TVserver SVNs were not that stable. At that time I lost my settings a few times. But for the last few weeks it works like a charm.

Don't forget to remove and then reinstall both server and client-plugin.
