This is the first release of BigBlueButton 3.1-dev and it features a redesigned user interface. Plugins (apps) now have a dedicated location in the client - App Gallery - and can be pinned. Lots of effort was put in improving discoverability of client functionality.
Below is a list of the pull requests in this iteration, grouped by component.
Note that BigBlueButton 3.1-dev runs on Ubuntu Jammy (22.04).
BigBlueButton 3.1-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.

Big THANK YOU to all comminuty members who helped for this release - both through sending pull requests and through reporting bugs or requesting enhancements! 🎊
