    Thank you, but why did you have to rush with the final?? I looked at 1.2.0 RC bug report forum, many bugs are still not resolved including two bugs I reported...
    I can understand that from an end users perspective it is strange to see a software release with known issues.

    But in software development, there is no such thing as a 100% bug free release.
    I guarantee you that you do not want to see the internal bugtrackers of companies like Apple, Microsoft, Nokia, DICE, Abobe, etc.
    You would not buy any software from them. ;)

    Our goal with every release is to make it as bug free as possible. But at a certain point, you have to draw a line, or you will never release a new version (development of 1.2.0 took us 14 months).
    1.2.0 is a great release. And that some issues were not fixed in that release does not mean that they won't in the future.
    We are already working on an small 1.2.1 hotfix, and discuss more/bigger fixes for 1.2.2 and 1.3.0.

    So I can assure everyone who is concerned, that our priority was and will be, stability.

    I just want to add my thank-you:
    Thanks to all of the people that put in their hard work!

    I just reinstalled my HTPC and installed 1.2.0
    It's a great release! Everything runs really smoothly.

    THanks Fellas,

    I've just upgraded from 1.1.3 and it all seem to be working fine and dandy.

    Note, I think there might be a small mistake in the instructions

    Upgrading to 1.2.0

    All MediaPortal installations starting with 1.1.0 RC1 can be upgraded to 1.2.0 RC, without losing your settings.
    If you are running MediaPortal 1.2.0 Beta or RC, then all your installed extensions (plugins and skins) will continue to work after the upgrade to 1.2.0!

    Is the '...can be upgraded to 1.2.0 RC, without...' supposed to ommit the RC? ie. '...can be upgraded to 1.2.0, without...'
    (Found on this page)

    Chur :)

    Just did an upgrade from 1.2.0 beta last night and all went fine! Thx to all developers.

    One note, though - the installer told me that I currently had 1.2.0 ALPHA instead of BETA, but obviously didn't impact anything

    Cheers,
    Craig

    Yes, that was part of the issue that delayed 1.2.0 final release by one week.
    But that wrong detection of alpha/beta could not be fixed anymore. At least we could ensure that the upgrade itself works.:)

    I made a clean new install of MP 1.2 (after removing and cleaning up 1.1.3) and I was greatly surprised that the ViewModeSwitcher Plugin is already inclded!Is this new? If yes, great idea, one ofmy favourites!

    Thanx for the great work, runs smoothly! no issues so far.

    After upgrade to 1.2.0 final from beta, i pressed "update sattelite list"
    then it removed all sattelite xml files.

    I had a copy, but does anyone know what's wrong?

    You are right, the one on the repository is correct, not sure how I ended up with a different version. See attached the incorrect version I ended up with.
