4.0.1 Released

We are pleased to announce the first patch to the 4.0 version of the Xibo CMS. The codename for this version is “Westphal”.

20D/Westphal 3 was a periodic comet with an orbital period of 61 years. It fits the classical definition of a Halley-type comet with (20 years < period < 200 years). It was originally discovered by the German astronomer J. G. Westphal on July 24, 1852.

Fixes and Features

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.

The minimum versions of Xibo for webOS and Xibo for Tizen that will function with a v4 CMS are v3 R308.

Feedback

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