Beta release. A follow-up to beta.1. No database migration, no configuration change, nothing to do on upgrade.


The account controls are reachable from every page

The Log out button was rendered only when the active page was not the dashboard. The dashboard is the page NeXroll opens on, so the page most people sit on was the one page with no way to sign out. It now appears in the header everywhere.

At the same time, every page except the dashboard drew two user icons: the initials avatar, and a second name chip carrying its own person icon beside it. The header now has one avatar, whose tooltip names the signed-in account, and one Log out button.

The Log out button also keeps its label rather than being squeezed into the header's 29px icon-button width. Below 640px it collapses to an icon.

Note that these controls only appear when authentication is enabled. An install with no user accounts has no session to end, and shows neither.

The dashboard no longer ships three pairs of tiles that showed the same thing

Sixteen tiles become thirteen. Nothing was lost in the process.

Two tiles were both named "Storage." They rendered the same storage breakdown in two different styles. The duplicate is gone.

"What's next" and "Upcoming schedules" were the same list twice, and they disagreed. One dropped any schedule whose time had passed unless it was active at that exact moment; the other kept ongoing schedules with a past start and no end date. The same queue could therefore read differently depending on which tile you happened to look at. They are now a single Upcoming schedules tile using the more forgiving filter, and the number of rows follows the tile's width and detail level instead of being fixed at four.

"Currently Showing" duplicated the left half of "Current & next schedule." It has been retired. The two things it had that the surviving tile did not have -- the preview of what is currently applied to the server, and the playback mode, blend list, and gap-filler state -- have moved into it.

The Customize dialog now describes the Scheduler, Schedule counts, and Media servers tiles as detailed views of what System health summarizes, rather than reading as separate features.

Your layout is safe. A stored layout that still names a retired tile drops it on the next load, in the backend, in the browser's saved copy, and at render time. No layout needs to be rebuilt by hand.


160 tests passing.

Upgrading from beta.1: run the installer over your existing install. Everything else carries across untouched.
