xibosignage/xibo-cms 4.4.0

on GitHub

The first release of Xibo 4.4.

Key features and improvements for this release:

• Scheduling Wizard: streamlined, step-by-step approach to scheduling content that standardises how events are created in the CMS.
• Scheduling media and playlists: schedule content more quickly with fewer required steps, while still adjusting optional settings later if needed.
• Schedule page enhancements: improvements to the Schedule page to make it easier to view and manage scheduled events across your network.
• Keyboard interactive actions (Android players only): a simple way to trigger interactive content with your keyboard, without the need for a touchscreen display.

MySQL 8.4

Xibo has updated its Docker configuration from MySQL 8.0 to 8.4.

Before upgrading, please ensure you have a full backup of your database. While every effort has been made to ensure your existing MySQL 8.0 CMS database will upgrade smoothly, having a full backup is critical to rollback if necessary.

Please also review this guide to check whether your MySQL database user credentials are compatible with MySQL 8.4, failure to do so could result in disruption to your CMS service while you recover.
