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. ### Overview Guide Take a look at our latest guide which explores the User experience in v4: [Overview of v4 for Existing Users](https://community.xibo.org.uk/t/overview-of-v4-for-existing-users/30042). ### Marquee effect Based on your feedback, the marquee effect on Elements did not achieve the desired result in v4, so it has been replaced with a dedicated template called "Articles shown in a marquee". ## Fixes and Features This release is a bug release which contains 34 resolved issues. -

The latest player software is available [here](https://xibosignage.com/downloads). 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](https://xibosignage.com/downloads). ## Feedback Xibo is built on feedback from our users, community and customers. Please let us know what you think of v4 in the comments.
