title: Xibo for Android R26 is now available
description: "Today we’re announcing 1.4 R26 of the Xibo for Android client – which makes the
client better than ever!

The client is still available on a free 14 day no obligation trial and available
to purchase directly from our website at 
https://springsignage.com/xibo-for-android/
[http://springsignage.com/xibo-for-android/]. The application is also available
directly from our download centre [http://springsignage.com/download/].

Instructions for upgrading from an earlier release can be found in the FAQ
[https://springsignage.freshdesk.com/solution/categories/74918/folders/122717/articles/72685-upgrade-to-the-latest-release]
.

Xibo for Android couples the flexibility of the excellent Xibo Content
Management and Delivery System with the power of the Android platform to bring
you a digital signage player packed with features at a fraction of the usual
cost.

Issues Resolved in this release:

 * Stability Improvements
 * Improved file handling
 * Fail safe for when the device reboots and the removable storage is not ready
 * Fix for some web page media opening the default browser
 * Support for Web page media using Basic Authentication in the URL
 * User configurable delay for starting the application after rebooting the
   device
 * Support for shell commands (requires root)
 * Improved detection for whether a layout is ready to play (requires 1.5.2 CMS)

Coming soon:

 * Improved client for our White Label Customers
 * Improved configuration options for when to show the “action bar”

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask."
