openHAB 2.0 beta2 available!

Announcements
1

All,

I have just created a new beta release for openHAB 2, which fixes many issues that were discovered in the beta1, most of them due to the switch to Karaf. Especially openHAB 1 add-ons had many issues and a lot of this has been fixed meanwhile. Thanks to everybody involved in testing (special thanks to @Lolodomo here!). There is still work to do, but I think beta2 is a huge step forward, so it makes sense to replace beta1 by it, so that this isn’t used anymore.
In any case, for testing I definitely recommend to always use the latest snapshot, since there is a frequent flow of fixes and enhancements.

Best regards,
Kai

Cool, thanks. What would you think about moving the project https://github.com/cniweb/openhab-syno-spk to https://github.com/openhab/openhab-syno-spk (with you of course staying the admin with full access to the repo)?

You can easily transfer repos through Github, just PM me if you want to coordinate that!

Is there any more information/fix on the “The element type “meta” must be terminated by the matching end-tag” error?
I am having it as well under Mac OS X with the latest Oracle JDK installation.

It is tracked under https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/issues/121
I do not see this on OS X…

Hello my name is Mark Ingle. I am new to this community. Recently I have purchased a ESP12E Dev board and set it up with OpenHAB 1.8.1 to get a simple LED test working. I noticed 2.0 Beta was available and I have latest snapshot running via start.bat. However I cannot get the landing page working…are there some instructions o check list for setting 2.0? I would like to contribute to testing if you need the help.

Thanks in advance for help!
