What is a beta release?
-----------------------
A beta release is a release which is almost feature complete and is fairly
stable. However there may still be a few `features <http://wiki.openlp.org/Version_2_Features>`_
to complete, and `bugs <https://bugs.launchpad.net/openlp>`_ we've not yet fixed.
It is used by several people without serious problems. However there is a small
possibility that it could still crash occasionally or do unexpected things. It
is intended for those who want the latest version, and are prepared to give the
program a good test before using it in a live situation to ensure they won't
encounter any unexpected problems. If you want to have a look at the latest beta
release then just `download it <http://openlp.org/en/download.html>`_.
Upgrading
=========
Does 2.0 replace 1.2, or can they be run side by side?
------------------------------------------------------
Can I upgrade from any 1.9.x or 2.0.x release to 2.2?
-----------------------------------------------------
It is perfectly safe to install 2.0 on a system with 1.2. Both versions are
installed in separate places, so you can still go back to 1.2. You can even run
them at the same time!
No, you should first upgrade to the last stable release in the 2.0-series
(2.0.5) and then upgrade to 2.2 to ensure that data is correctly converted.
2.0 stores its data in a separate folder to 1.2, so your data is perfectly safe,
and whatever you do in 2.0 will not damage 1.2
Are 1.2 and 2.0 compatible?
---------------------------
No. However imports exist to transfer your data to the new version.
I have a computer that is quite old, should I upgrade?
------------------------------------------------------
2.0 does require significantly more resources than v1.2. Therefore if your
computer does not have much memory you may find 2.0 will struggle, `especially`
when changing between slides.
Why can I not see my 1.2 songs, bibles and themes in 2.0?
---------------------------------------------------------
This is an beta release, which means it is not finished and one of the things we
haven't completely finished yet is importing 1.2 data automatically. We plan to
do this `Version 1.9.6 (beta 2) <http://wiki.openlp.org/Version_2_Milestones#Version_1.9.6_.28beta_2.29>`_.
How do I transfer my 1.2 song database?
Can I upgrade directly from 1.2 to 2.2?
---------------------------------------
In OpenLP 2.0, go to the :menuselection:`File --> Import --> Song` menu.
In the Wizard that appears, click Next and choose "openlp.org v1.x" from the
Format list. Click the search button on the Filename prompt, and at the bottom
of the dialog, copy the following into the File name prompt::
No, you will have to install 2.0.5 first, then import the 1.2 data and then
upgrade to 2.2. See the 2.0 documentation for how to upgrade from 1.2 to
2.0.
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\openlp.org\Data\songs.olp
Does 2.2 replace 2.0, or can they be run side by side?
------------------------------------------------------
*(This must be in the popup file chooser dialog. Don't enter it directly into
the wizard).*
OpenLP 2.2 and 2.0 cannot run side by side. When running 2.2 for first time
any existing 2.0 data will automatically be converted to the 2.2 format.
Note that OpenLP 2.2 is not backwards compatible with 2.0. Once you have
upgraded from 2.0, version 2.0 cannot read the upgraded files. OpenLP 2.2 will
ask if it should make a backup on startup, which can be used in case you want
to downgrade to 2.0 again.
Click Open, then in the wizard just click Next and wait for the import to complete.
How do I transfer my 1.2 Bibles?
--------------------------------
In OpenLP 2.0, go to the :menuselection:`File --> Import --> Bible` menu.
In the Wizard that appears, click Next and choose "openlp.org v1.x" from the
Format list.
Click the search button on the Filename prompt, and at the bottom of the dialog,
copy the following into the File name prompt::
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\openlp.org\Data\Bibles
*(This must be in the popup file chooser dialog. Don't enter it directly into
the wizard).*
Choose the Bible, Click Open, then in the wizard just click Next, enter the
License details, and wait for the import to complete.
How do I transfer my 1.2 Themes?
--------------------------------
In openlp.org v1, export each theme by selecting it in the Theme Manager, and
then clicking the picture of a blue folder with red arrow on the Theme Managers
toolbox. This theme file can then be imported into V2 using the
:menuselection:`File --> Import --> Theme` menu.
I can't get my 2.0 theme to look the same as 1.2
------------------------------------------------
OpenLP 2.0 is a complete rewrite using a completely different programming
language so it would work on different types of system. There are differences in
how the old and new languages draw text on the screen, and therefore it is
unlikely you'll get an exact match.
OpenLP 2.2 cannot read service files created by OpenLP 2.0.4 and earlier, it can only
read service files created by OpenLP 2.0.5.

Why can LibreOffice Impress not be used on Mac OS X?
----------------------------------------------------
Why is there no presentations plugin available on OS X?
-------------------------------------------------------
Currently the presentations plugin does not support Impress on OS X. The
reason for that is that the interoperability component (pyuno) in LibreOffice on
Mac OS X cannot be used by OpenLP due to incompatibilities between the version
of Python used by LibreOffice and the Python version used by OpenLP.
Currently the presentations plugin is not bundled with OpenLP on OS X. The
reason for that is that the OpenOffice.org version on Mac OS X does not contain
the (more exact: does only contain a broken) interoperability component (the so
called pyuno bridge) which could be used by OpenLP. As soon as the
interoperability component works on OS X we can re-enable the plugin and bundle
it. We are really sorry for that.
Why can MS PowerPoint not be used on Mac OS X?
----------------------------------------------
Currently the presentations plugin does not support PowerPoint on OS X. The
reason for that is that so far we have found that the available method to
control PowerPoint on OS X is not good enough for integration with OpenLP.
If this changes we will look at including this feature.
