|Windows 8|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We've had a number of reports recently of users with Windows 8 being
|
||
|
|
unable to run OpenLP. Unfortunately from our side we have not had any
|
||
|
|
problems with our tests on Windows 8. If you have Windows 8 `please
|
||
|
|
contact us <http://openlp.org/en/support>`__ to let us know your
|
||
|
|
experiences, both good and bad. Even if everything is working perfectly
|
||
|
|
fine, we want to know that.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We also need a few technically-inclined people who are experiencing
|
||
|
|
these issues to help us figure out what is going wrong. You should be
|
||
|
|
comfortable with the command line as there are a number of technical
|
||
|
|
bits and pieces that you will need to do, such as installing Python and
|
||
|
|
some of OpenLP's dependencies.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Secondly, we have found two regressions in version 2.0, which have been
|
||
|
|
fixed but are waiting for a release. The first is an issue with
|
||
|
|
transparent themes which are `no longer
|
||
|
|
transparent <https://bugs.launchpad.net/openlp/+bug/1085609>`__, and the
|
||
|
|
second is a `bug in the export
|
||
|
|
function <https://bugs.launchpad.net/openlp/+bug/1085921>`__.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Interestingly, we never realised how much the export feature was used
|
||
|
|
until it was broken. We've had quite a number of folks reporting the
|
||
|
|
issue.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are experiencing either of these issues on Windows or Mac OS X
|
||
|
|
then we recommend downgrading to version 1.9.12, `which can still be
|
||
|
|
found on
|
||
|
|
SourceForge <http://sourceforge.net/projects/openlp/files/openlp/1.9.12/>`__.
|
||
|
|
Users on Linux can either patch their version of OpenLP with help from
|
||
|
|
us, or sit tight until we make a bugfix release.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We're hoping to make a release sometime in December.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Release Update**
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We're hoping to release version 2.0.1 on Sunday the 6th of January, the
|
||
|
|
first release of the new year.
