In this iteration we have continued to improve the new GraphQL related core components. Various client side fixes are also included. Poll answers in the live session have an improved look. Support for Colabora Online for document conversion was added. Below is a list of the pull requests in this iteration, grouped by component.
Note that BigBlueButton 3.0-dev runs on Ubuntu Jammy (22.04).
BigBlueButton 3.0-dev is under active development. While we don’t recommend setting it up in a production environment, we do encourage administrators to try out the build with others and give us feedback on our bigbluebutton-dev mailing list.

Most fixes from BigBlueButton 2.7.x are here up to and including v2.7.4 (.2 onwards have been manually ported as we no longer merge the 2.7 branch directly into the 3.0 branch) Remaining work: see #19489 #19490
Big THANK YOU to all comminuty members who helped for this release - both through sending pull requests and through reporting bugs or requesting enhancements! 🎊
