new (sub)versions come out regularly and before we can take them in production we need to test them to see how they behave with our customisations. Let me open this thread as a place where we can discuss the new gems that are in the newest version, and see when and how we can best test them, and when in production.
version 2.5 is exhaustively explained here: BigBlueButton : What's New (edited: but is a Release Candidate, not an Official Version)
Before diving in, maybe @dvdjaco@elon@Yurko could remind us on what version we are currently in production? There were plans to run a dev server, or maybe tech.circle has that already without us knowing
Especially given the SSO work @elon is doing, I suppose that’s an excellent opportunity to test out the latest version? What’s your plans?
