Recent Updates

Kollaborate Encoder 1.8.1

  • The Docker image now uses Ubuntu 24.04 and ffmpeg 7.1

  • Fixed an issue where custom encoding parameters would not be received from Kollaborate Server

Kollaborate Server 3.9.1

Important: The Docker image is configured to convert the current database to your MariaDB version automatically. As such, we would recommend backing up the database before upgrading to any version as you may be unable to downgrade otherwise. You can download the current database as a .sql file from the Tools section of the Admin Area. We recommend doing this before copying the newer version's files over.

Kollaborate Server 3.9

Important: The Docker image is configured to convert the current database to your MariaDB version automatically.

You can download the current database as a .sql file from the Tools section of the Admin Area. We recommend doing this before copying the newer version's files over.

Note: Due to the need to build caches, the upgrader may take a while to run if you have a large number of projects and/or a large number of files.

Changes:

  • File Tags - Add tags to files to add additional context. Clicking a tag shows you all other files with that tag. Tags can be searched and both File and Upload Workflows can be used to automatically add tags to a file
  • Global Search - Search for files across all projects at once
  • Comment Tagging - Users can be tagged in comments by pressing the @ key, and there is a new alert sent when a user is tagged
  • Files - There is now an optional "Last Comment" table column that can be sorted, and a new filter for files with unviewed comments (i.e. new comments since you last viewed it)
  • Files - Support for adding a Duration column to the Files page for sorting by duration, as well as making it available as a parameter in the Advanced Search dialog
  • Overhauled the File Browser for improved performance when dealing with very large projects
  • Admin - Added a new Rebuild Caches tool
  • Player - Added a button to change hold timecode to the current playback position
  • Player - Hold is now reset if the user has only whitespace in the comment field

  • Comments - Show link users when a comment is marked as "to-do" or "done"
  • Uploaded AVIF images are now correctly recognized as images instead of generic files
  • Saved Searches - Editing a saved search no longer requires you to do a Save As under the same name - now just click the Update button
  • Projects - Project admins can now edit project tags
  • Docker - Improved proxy performance
  • Docker - Updated to Ubuntu 24.04
  • UI - Overhauled multiple interface controls, most notably checkboxes, which now behave more consistently
  • UI - Navigation links can now have sublinks for more easily locating important pages
  • Alerts - Added a new alert when a file is uploaded to a File Request link
  • Encoding - If more than one proxy type is set up and the workflow is set to remove the original file, the original file is removed only for the first proxy
  • Sharing - Show name of link instead of original folder name to link recipients
  • Sharing - Shared links are now removed when a file is moved between projects

  • Files - Fixed an issue where moving an empty folder might inadvertently move additional files
  • Files - Fixed an issue where deleting a department with only an empty folder inside could delete additional files

  • Various UI tweaks and improvements
  • General bug fixes, tweaks and optimizations
