BigBlueButton 2.7.3

This iteration of BigBlueButton 2.7 contains several fixes.

We welcome any feedback about this release on our bigbluebutton-dev mailing list

BigBlueButton 2.6.14

This 2.6 iteration contains changes to BigBlueButton to support and actually require both a newer Java version (upgrading from 11 LTS to 17 LTS) and a newer NodeJS version (upgrading from 16 to 18 LTS). The upgrade of Java should require no additional input from the administrators, however, for NodeJS you will need to upgrade to the newer version in order to upgrade BigBlueButton. Users of bbb-install-2.6.sh have this part covered. For more information check https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/new-features#nodejs-upgrade-introduced-in-bigbluebutton-2614-backport-from-bbb-27 and https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/new-features#java-upgrade-introduced-in-bigbluebutton-2614-backport-from-bbb-27.

A couple of whiteboard improvements are also included.

Note: Traditionally we skip from .12 to .14, thus avoiding any iteration 13. For reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/13_(number)#Bad

BigBlueButton 2.6.12

This 2.6 iteration contains several fixes to the client (mostly whiteboard) and core. Fixes were also made in a few dependency components so new versions of these dependencies have been pulled in, namely FreeSWITCH 1.10.10 (with 6 months of patches) and Meteor 2.13 (NodeJS for bbb-html5 bumped to 14.21.4 from Meteor's ESM). A security patch pertaining to insertDocument api is also included.

Note that a new version of libopusenc - 0.2.1-1bbb2 has been pushed to PPA https://launchpad.net/~bigbluebutton/+archive/ubuntu/support to fix an issue that could cause freeswitch to crash. See https://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/libopusenc/-/merge_requests/4 for more info.

Note that a new version of libopusenc - 0.2.1-1bbb2 has been pushed to PPA https://launchpad.net/~bigbluebutton/+archive/ubuntu/support to fix an issue that could cause freeswitch to crash. See https://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/libopusenc/-/merge_requests/4 for more info.

Note that BigBlueButton 2.7 runs on Ubuntu Focal (20.04).

BigBlueButton 2.7-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

Passing -v focal-270 to https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bbb-install/blob/v2.7.x-release/bbb-install.sh will always install the latest released BigBlueButton 2.7 version.

If for some reason you would like to install this specific release, pass -v focal-270-2.7.0-beta.3.

We still recommend using -v focal-270 as this repository is continually updated with each BigBlueButton 2.7 release.

Client build: 101
