Calliope Music Server and MP3 Jukebox / News: Recent posts

A long time in development, this release represents a host of new features, major architectural improvements, improved performance and stability. See the news page for details!

Primarily added an installer for linux-based systems. Loosely tested, but reasonably thorough, with an unistaller.

ln -s calliope1.0alpha-rc1 calliope
cd calliope/installer
./install

And away you go!
