LinuxMCE-1004 - Changesets

This page outlines some information about the Beta, as well as outlining any changes and bugfixes we are applying, just like we did with the alpha2 page.

If a package needs to be built, put it under Upcoming fixes... As soon as a set of package is built, those packages move into a section called Update XXXXX where XXXXX is the svn revision at the time of build.

Upcoming fixes...

Note: Please put the name of the package file and the source and bin package number in this list, followed by a small description of what has changed! Hulu Player is not the name of the package, but lmce-hulu-player. It makes the life of the person, who needs to update the repo a lot easier. Thank you!
