4.2.1 Released

We were thrilled with the reception to last month’s new major version release, 4.2. This version brought with it new features (including the Emergency Alerts and National Weather Service widgets) and a host of new improvements to enhance the user experience.

This latest patch will fix over 26 issues. The codename for this version is “Kopff”.

22P/Kopff is a periodic comet in the Solar System. Discovered on August 23, 1906, it was named after August Kopff who discovered the comet.

Install / Upgrade

Instructions for installation/upgrade can be found here.

The minimum version of PHP needed to run the CMS is PHP 8.1.

Please note: A new XMR service has been added which changes the way the CMS and XMR components communicate. ZeroMQ is no longer a requirement for the CMS container to run, but is still requried for XMR.

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.

Cloud hosted

If you have a cloud hosted CMS and have not opted out of minor version updates, this update will be applied to your v4.0 CMS instances.
