Version 1.6.0 Released

Share

We are proud to announce that Xibo version 1.6.0 (Codename “Pons-Winnecke”) has arrived and is available for download. This is the first release in a new stable series of Xibo and we recommend that everyone upgrade.

The last stable release of Xibo first aired in Feb-2013, since then there have been 3 development preview releases and 2 release candidates! In its life time 1.4 Series has been downloaded over 200 thousand times.

1.6 has been a long time in the making, but during that time we have developed 13 new features and fixed 130 bugs.

Some of the highlights include:

  • A new manual
  • A new HTML 5 preview in the CMS
  • A theme engine for the CMS, along with a new default theme
  • A new file upload tool for uploading multiple files at the same time
  • A CSV importer for DataSets
  • Ticker based DataSets and improvements to the features on Ticker Items
  • An updated text editor
  • Embed a simple Clock or Date using the Text Media Items
  • General improvements to the presentation in the CMS
  • Started to switch to PDO for future support on other databases
  • CMS support for Transitions in the Ubuntu Client

The release notes are available in the manual  and you can download this release from our Launchpad project page here: https://launchpad.net/xibo/1.6/1.6.0.

We would like to take this opportunity to say a big Thank You to everyone involved in the Xibo Project Community. We couldn’t release Xibo without the help we get from people who reported bugs, submitted patches or donated money.

We have big plans for the future, so please subscribe to our RSS or follow us on Twitter or Facebook.
