BigBlueButton 2.3-beta-4
This 2.3-beta-3 release includes multiple bug fixes and stability improvements.
Note - if upgrading from previous 2.3-beta install, edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/bbb-libreoffice-docker.prerm
to comment out the line (near the bottom)
docker network remove bbb-libreoffice
-> # docker network remove bbb-libreoffice
this should help you to uninstall the previous bbb-libreoffice-docker version
The whiteboard now has better support for writing via digital pen/style using a new whiteboard mode. See the screenshot below. Thanks @jonathansch1 and supporters!
Also the Randomly Select User feature is now animated, adding to the selection process. Thanks @hiroshisuga !

Packaging / configuration
- Disabled
diagnosticDataCollectionEnabled
in MongoDB - this was one of the causes for reducing the available write space for MongoDB used by bbb-html5. See #11185 for more info. Possibly there might be more changes in the near future, so we are keeping the issue open.
In /usr/share/meteor/bundle/mongo-ramdisk.conf
(...)
setParameter:
diagnosticDataCollectionEnabled: false
- note that exporting Shared notes to PDF, ODF or Microsoft Word is still disabled by default. Some more work is needed ot ensure it works well before enabling it in [next] beta
- changes to packaging in bbb-libreoffice-docker to properly clear any old bbb-soffice docker image
