	LinuxMCE 0704 for Kubuntu Feisty is a significant change over 1.0. The number of users reporting a successful installation is now 86% vs. 27% with version 1.0. It's integrated into the KDE desktop, so you can use it like a normal Linux app. The recordings and EPG is now sync'd with MythTV. There is a new DVD installer that will install both Kubuntu and LinuxMCE on a clean PC in under 20 minutes with only 3 keypresses. And the new setup wizard has video clips and will let you setup everything, including MythTV's PVR in under 5 minutes. The new demo [[Video]] is a complete walk-through.

	There’s a major new release of the free, open source project LinuxMCE that includes whole-house HD PVR, movie, music and photo server, integrated telephony and smarthome. All a/v source devices, DVD jukeboxes, and online media are shared through the home so you can put all your a/v gear in a rack in one room, with only thin clients in the rest of the rooms. It includes a gyro-controlled UI that lets you navigate long lists of media and the TV’s EPG by waving the remote, like a Wii, for fast, smooth control. Also wave the remote to scan through your media and adjust volume and lights.
	You can watch a demo on <a href=”http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2176025602905109829”>Google Video</a> or download the original video in high-def at <a href=”http://linuxmce.org>linuxmce.org</a>. Installation is 25 minutes and every step is shown in the video starting with a clean PC.

	===Version change==		===Version change===
	The version scheme changed because each LinuxMCE release will be tied to a particular release of a certain distro. One of the most common problems reported with LinuxMCE 1.0 was people were installing it on the wrong distro. Now I made the version of LinuxMCE correspond to the version of the distro it is released for. So LinuxMCE 0704 works with Kubuntu 0704. The next release with be LinuxMCE 0710 for Kubuntu 0710 when it's released. The new update mechanism will allow for an automatic upgrade.

	==New Launch Manager and conf file management==		===New Launch Manager and conf file management===
	A new Launch Manager allows you to start and stop LinuxMCE like a normal application, and also control the startup sequence. Additionally, whenever LinuxMCE needs to make changes to your configuration, such as setting up network booting for any thin clients, it will make a backup of your existing conf files, notify you of the changes, and let you manually edit them. Thus, for a total Linux newbie, LinuxMCE can still be a fully automated 'black box' solution requiring no knowledge of Linux internals, but it will no longer frustrate advanced Linux users who don't want their configuration settings overwritten.

			===New Update Mechanism===
			Previously LinuxMCE could become broken when Ubuntu pushed an update because LinuxMCE included some kernel modules that didn't stay sync'd with Ubuntu's kernel, and the traditional apt-get install/update system doesn't allow for atomic updates in a specific order. LinuxMCE now has its own update mechanism that will update all required modules in parallel so updates should no longer be an issue.
