Version 3.0.0-b1 is released
Posted: Fri Oct 18, 2013 9:09 am
General:
This adds advanced monitoring to directories, which creates the "Recently Played" and "New Media" folders, improves video compatibility, fixes several bugs and more!
We are getting very close to the final release of 3.0.0 and this is probably already more stable than the 2.x releases, so you are encouraged to use it.

Changes since 3.0.0-a5:
Upgrade Notes:
For all versions:
Some configuration options for 3.x are not compatible with the 2.x releases, and a lot of them were renamed between 3.0.0-a1 and 3.0.0-a2, so it may be wise to make a backup of your configuration before installing.
It is recommended (but usually not necessary) to delete your UMS.conf file prior to installing this version. Windows users can choose the "clean install" option while installing instead.
