Notes:

We are very pleased to announce that the 2.13 series of JMRI test releases has resulted in a version that's good enough to be recommended for general use, including by new users. We're therefore making that version, "Production version 2.14" available for download today.

JMRI is now only available under the GNU General Public License. For more information, please see our copyright and licensing page.

Warnings

The way in which UserNames are edited in the tables changed since JMRI 2.12. Renames are now performed via a mouse pop-up menu and can not be directly edited.

JMRI 2.12 is the last release which is completely supported by Java 1.5. In this release, there are minor interface features, such as drag-and-drop of some items, that require your computer to have Java 1.6 installed. Computers with only Java 1.5 will still be able to use JMRI, including PanelPro and DecoderPro, in this release except for those features. Releases in the next cycle will require Java 1.6.

Known problems with this release

There are currently some connectivity issues for Users running Windows v7 64-bit and a Digitrax PR3 interface. If you are experiancing issues, then please raise a question on the yahoo group for assistance.
