We are pleased to announce the second patch to the 3.3 version of Xibo. The codename for this version is “Borrelly”.
19P/Borrelly, a periodic comet, which was visited by the spacecraft Deep Space 1 in 2001. The comet last came to perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) on February 1, 2022 and will next come to perihelion on December 11, 2028.
** UPDATE: 2023-01-13 **
We have discovered an issue with this release which causes high database load and players to stop updating with the CMS. This issue only effects users who have Layouts with Interactive Actions that "Navigate to Layout".
We recommend that effected users roll back to 3.3.1 and anyone using Navigate to Layout functionality skip this release and wait for 3.3.3.
Issue details are here:

Players
We recommend using player software of the same version as your CMS. The latest player software is available here.
v2 players will connect to a v3 CMS, but please be aware that new v3 features will not be supported.
1.8 players will also function but please be aware that v2/v3 features will not be supported.
The minimum version of Xibo for webOS that will function with a v3 CMS is v2 R206.
The minimum version of Xibo for Tizen that will function with a v3 CMS is v2 R202.
