[QUOTE="rekenaar, post: 502056, member: 27829"] [b]What is SVN?[/b] SVN is short for SubVersion. SubVersion is a versioning system popular amongst software developers to keep track of changes between them. Each time a change/fix is comitted to the repository, the SVN number increase. Our developers release regular SVN versions to the public. When used in that sentence, it just means that it is a newer version of MediaPortal that will contain all updates/fixes/additions up to that specific revision number. SVN versions should normally be used only for testing purposes, but sometimes it can give you a nice head start on new features if you are willing to take the risk. SVN releases are normally based on the latest full release and normally it is possible to apply a SVN version without losing existing settings. Sometimes you will read in mantis or in a developer's post that a certain issue is fixed in a certain SVN number. That does not mean it is immediately available for you to download and test. You might have to wait for the next public SVN release to be published. [/QUOTE]
