• WebP is now used for hoverscrub thumbnails instead of AVIF

• Minor bug fixes, tweaks and optimizations

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: This version is a release candidate, meaning we consider it stable and well-tested with no known issues, but continue to monitor it on the cloud. If no new issues are found this will become the stable version.

Changes since Beta 1:

• Side-by-side comparison - load two players at once and compare them with playback synchronization for video/audio, zoom/pan synchronization for images, and page sync for documents. Switch between comments independently of whichever file is the active file. You can load any type of file alongside another for reference, but only files of the same type can be synchronized.
• New file viewers for PDFs and text files, with full screen support for both. The text viewer loads content dynamically, meaning it can display very large files, as well as offering features like line numbers and word wrap
• Annotations can be drawn on top of PDFs
• Comments can be added to particular lines of a text file
• The player page is no longer static, which means it loads faster and actions like setting workflows or switching between files can happen without a page refresh
• If the player can't play back and it shows a download overlay, it shows a message to explain why it couldn't play (e.g. if "force download" was set on the file)
• You can now click on the duration field of the video player to toggle time remaining
• Fixed an issue where some files would incorrectly appear to be unplayable
• Reduced browser memory usage
• Various UI and styling improvements
• Lots of small bug fixes, tweaks and optimizations
