BigBlueButton 2.6.0-rc.2
Pre-release
This release candidate iteration of BigBlueButton 2.6 contains several whiteboard, polling and layout fixes. We also include updated versions of the recording playback packages.
Also note that we have recently merged the sizeable changes in bbb-install-2.6.sh "Added installation of Greenlight-v3 and removed the previous of Greenlight-v2" bigbluebutton/bbb-install#591 -- this is likely going to be your first time with Greenlight-v3. Feedback is greatly appreciated!!
BigBlueButton 2.6-dev is under active development. While we don’t recommend setting it up in a production environment, we do encourage administrators to try out the build with others and give us feedback on our bigbluebutton-dev mailing list.

Release name
In case an administrator does not want to update to the latest focal-260 version. Use as substitute to the -v argument in bbb-install.sh command
focal-260-2.6.0-rc.2
We still recommend using -v focal-260.
