Version v5.0

We are proud to announce

tinyMediaManager v5

The main features of v5 are:

• Full macOS compatible builds now (signed, x64 and M1). The drawback here is, that we cannot offer inline upgrades for macOS any more
• Linux x64 and arm64 builds
• Docker x64 and arm64 builds
• System aware storage locations for your data (except for the portable versions on Windows/Linux)
• Completely rebuilt launcher which embeds the Java runtime now (no more unnecessary sub-processes)
• Episode group handling
• and much more

Since v5 this is a great step into the future of tinyMediaManager, you can not inline upgrade your v4 installation to v5. To import your v4 data, you can use the “import data function” under the menu “Tools -> Import data/settings from another v4 installation” to import your v4 data into your v5 installation.

Please review the increased system requirements for tinyMediaManager v5!
