4.1.0-rc1 released

We are pleased to announce the first release candidate for the 4.1 version of the Xibo CMS. The codename for this version is “Giacobini”.

21P/Giacobini–Zinner is a periodic comet in the Solar System. It was discovered by Michel Giacobini, who observed it in the Aquarius on December 20, 1900.

4.1.0-rc1 is a development preview only and should not be used in production. We recommend testing this release with a fresh installation of Xibo.

Install / Upgrade

Instructions for installation/upgrade can be found here.

Please note: it is difficult to get PHP-ZMQ working on PHP8.1 under Windows/IIS; this community post outlines a method for doing so.

Players

We recommend using player software of the same version as your CMS. The latest player software is available here.

Earlier versions of the player will connect to a v4 CMS in legacy mode.

Please note: Xibo for webOS and Xibo for Tizen players require v3 R308 and above to function with a v4 CMS. View the latest player software here.

Feedback

Xibo is built on feedback from our users, community and customers. Please let us know what you think of v4.1 in the comments.
