Improved User Manual
The Xibo Digital Signage solution has grown massively over the last 3 years – unfortunately the documentation has not followed suit… until now! We have begun work on consolidating all Xibo related material into one easily accessible manual. The first revision of the Xibo for Android manual is already available here [http://springsignage.com/manual/]. The rest of the open source solution will follow when we release 1.6.0. We hope you find the new documentation useful – if you have any feedback

Despite this being a significant development effort the end user will not notice any changes. This change will be rolled out over the next few releases with core functions/inserts/updates/deletes covered from 1.5 series, and all queries covered from 1.7 series. The advantages to PDO are many – the key ones for us are: * Potential to support different RDBMS (e.g

Using Xibo? Know your way around it well? Could you spare a few minutes each day to help others in the community and give something back? As Xibo has become more popular, the number of support requests in Launchpad Answers [https://answers.launchpad.net/xibo] has rocketed, to the point that the two main developers (Dan and Alex) just can’t answer every request ourselves.

Updated 1.4.2 and 1.2.3 releases now available
There was a small issue found with the installer in versions 1.4.2 and 1.2.3. It meant that people installing those versions may find their server key has been set incorrectly.

Once upgraded, you’re strongly recommended to check your serv
