|
It's finally here! After almost three years in development, the next major version of OpenLP has arrived!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A lot of work has gone into making this new version more stable, less buggy and easier to use, resulting almost 300
|
||
|
|
bugfixes and improvements. This version also sees some changes under the hood, in terms of moving to Python 3 and adding
|
||
|
|
unit testing to increase the quality of the codebase.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

Important Notes
|
||
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**OpenLP 2.2 is not backwards compatible with 2.0.5.**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Service Files created in 2.2 cannot be opened in 2.0.**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once you have upgraded from 2.0.5, version 2.0.5 cannot read the upgraded files. OpenLP 2.2 will make a backup on
|
||
|
|
startup, but it is recommended that you make your own backup too.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Upgrading from versions of OpenLP before 2.0.5 are not supported. You need to upgrade to 2.0.5 first, and make sure
|
||
|
|
you run OpenLP at least once before continuing to upgrade to 2.2.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are some known issues in OpenLP 2.2 that you should know about before upgrading:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Live Backgrounds does not work on Windows and Mac OS X
|
||
|
|
2. Playback of linked audio does not work on Mac OS X
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We plan to fix these issues in OpenLP 2.4. We're moving to a faster release cycle, which means that OpenLP 2.4 should be released in 6 to 12 months from now.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Thanks
|
||
|
|
^^^^^^
|

|

|
As leader of the project, I'd like to say a special thank you to the folks involved in this release. A special thank you to Tomas Groth, Jonathan Springer and Tim Bentley for their help, encouragement and preseverence.

So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
