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.

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:

• Docker - Removed the dependency on imagemagick.org, which has been experiencing a multi-day outage that has been preventing the "docker-compose build" command from completing
• Docker - Fixed an issue that could prevent php.ini changes from taking effect
• Files - Searching from the search box now performs a title search across the entire project. To search other fields or just the current folder, please use an Advanced Search
• Fixed an issue that could prevent the new high quality thumbnail feature from activating correctly
• Files - Fixed a crash when viewing a shared folder link

Major New Features:

• Single-Sign On (Preview) - You can now have authentication handled by a third-party SAML provider. This can be enabled from the Configure page of the Admin Area. If you enter the wrong details and end up locked out, delete config/sso_config.php to disable SSO.
• UI refresh - darker color scheme, new fonts, new icons, layout improvements.
• Higher quality thumbnails and better handling of non-16:9 thumbnail sizes
• Redesigned login flow
• New permissions - modifying other users' files and modifying other users' comments. This allows you to modify others' assets without needing to be an admin
• Saved Searches - Save an advanced search to apply it as a file filter. (Note that while you can apply a filter that searches the entire project, in most cases you will want it to only apply to the current folder.)
• Template Projects - Create a template project with folders, saved searches, departments, users, tasks and workflows. These can be applied when creating a new project
• Custom Encoding Profiles - Change the frame size, bitrate, etc of the videos created by Kollaborate Encoder. (Requires Kollaborate Encoder 1.8.) This can be edited from the Admin Area of the webserver. Note that while you can create multiple proxies of different frame sizes, this is of limited utility right now because you can't switch between them in the player. We plan to offer more features to enable this in future.

Other Changes:

• Admin - Overhauled the UI of the Tools page
• History is now shown in the project navigation bar to increase accessibility of this feature
• Upgrader - Database tables / columns that already exist are now ignored. This can solve issues where you may have ended up with a partial upgrade

• Player - Improved JKL key behavior to be more in line with NLEs
• Files - New filters: Uploaded by Me and Uploaded by Others

• API - Fixed an issue where special characters in a folder name could cause duplicate folders to be created
• API - Fixed a crash when special characters exist in file title
