After long time of development the MP2 core is stable to be released as a first "Alpha" version!
To create a version to release, there are some steps to be finished before: Here's my proposal for features and fixes that should be done:
ToDo list for MP2 alpha release:
It's not final and subject for discussion and additions. Everyone feel free to add more points, or move them from "alpha" to "after alpha" or opposite
ToDo list after Alpha release:
As you can see, not all tasks are assigned yet (EVR presenter fixing). We need the knowledge of all the work done for MP1 to be used to fix MP2 presenter as well. Who can contribute here, please?
You also know that we have many talented skinners here, so I call all of them to create some drafts for splashscreens and icons here https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...ens-icons-mp2-alpha-release-95976/#post738649.
With your help the first Alpha release of MP2 will be a good start to many further improvements.
Let's rock!
