RasPlex 0.4.0-rc2 has been released!
 
Check out the release notes and download it at https://github.com/RasPlex/RasPlex/releases/tag/0.4.0-rc2
 
If you are running 0.4.0-rc1, you should be able to update by simply selecting the "prerelease" channel, and selecting "check for updates". Then just let it install, and reboot. Please let us know if you have issues with updating, as it's a new system we are testing out (and while we've tested it thoroughly, very nervous as this is the first time it'll be running live!)
 
As always, please report bugs at tiny.cc/rasplex-bugs, not on facebook :)
 
A couple notes:
 
We've added a troubleshooting / known workarounds page:
 
https://github.com/RasPlex/RasPlex/wiki/Troubleshooting
 
Please check this before filing bugs. If you are experiencing the calibration issue on updating from a previous release, please do a fresh install.
