Latest BBB version

Technology Operations Systems
#1

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.

The latest releases are here: Releases · bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton · GitHub

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 :wink:

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?

Want to point out this is a Release Candidate, not an official release.

We currently do not have a additional BBB for users to test out.

We agreed not to attempt this until SSO is in place, then we don’t have to try to manage accounts on multiple BBB servers.

thanks for correcting me on that @Yurko :wink: I understand that BigBlueButton 2.4.7 is the latest official release, right? And where are we at atm?

What you say about using SSO makes much sense, so the SSO integration automatically allows meet.coop accounts to access.
