BigBlueButton 2.6.0-rc.7
Pre-release
This release candidate iteration of BigBlueButton 2.6 contains several fixes to the client (including accessibility and whiteboard stability). The full list of changes is below.
We are transitioning to the new (docusaurus) docs (Big thanks to @tibroc for sync-ing and pipeline improvements this week!)
We are not going to be making further changes to the old docs. The old docs will be retiring shortly!
Also the video format for recording is now feature complete and is undergoing testing. Please give it a try and report any possible issues you encounter.
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.
