CSL-1072 - Repeating Bulletins for BrightSign
Add repeating bulletin feature to BrightSign players. It functions the same as repeating bulletins on Windows or AppleTV players.
CSL-1081 - International Frame Rates
BrightSign players now support the ability to play PAL videos in the correct frame rate. The option to enable PAL videos was added to the advanced settings of the BrightSign players in the dashboard.
CSL-1082 - Dean Evans EMS Integration
Using EMS as a data source for Event Display bulletins is now possible again. This integration requires the EMS SOAP API (read only). Set up EMS as an external authorization in the system settings and then choose it as the data source in a Carousel bulletin.
CSL-1234 - Carousel Supports Transport Layer Security (TLS)
Carousel now supports Transport Layer Security. Properly configure IIS with a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS bindings and communication for the user interface and players will be secure.
CSL-1260 - API Authentication and Authorization
The Carousel API endpoints are now implementing a more strict authentication and authorization policy.
CSL-1366 - Carousel_Player.msi is not provided by the Carousel installer on new systems
Fixed an issue where the Carousel player software installer was not being put on the server using the offline Carousel installer to be made available for download.
CSL-313 - Removing a Zone Still Uses That Zone to Calculate the Overlap Warnings in the Channel Editor
Fixed an issue where zones that are removed from the channel were still used to calculate if zones were overlapping on the channel edit screen.
CSL-493 - SQL Collation not setting properly
Installing on a server with regional settings set to a value other than English/US no longer prevents the player software from working on Windows players.
CSL-1160 - iCal Validation Error with Certain Valid Feeds
Fixed an issue where Carousel would not be able to read iCal feeds with invalid line wrapping. The subsequent lines are now ignored and the #Description# or #summary# will be truncated to the first line.
CSL-1167 - Deleted Zones Can Appear Back in the Zone List
Fixed an issue where deleted zones would appear back in the zone list after they were deleted.
CSL-1171 - Text Block Field Size Not Being Saved
Fixed an issue with editing a template block's text field size from multi-line to one-line was not saving.
CSL-1216 - Block order does not save/persist in template
Fixed an issue where changing block order in the template editor would not always save correctly.
CSL-1290 - Carousel RSS ZONE feed publicationDate causes RSS bulletins to be rendered more often then they should
The RSS Zone feed now sets the publicationDate to match the most recently updated bulletin's LastUpdate value, rounded down to the minute. It would previously set the publicationDate to the current DateTime, which caused the RSS readers to refresh much more often than necessary.
CSL-1422 - Facebook "Search" field should be renamed "URL"
Due to recent changes in the Facebook API, we have changed how Facebook bulletins are created. Now, instead of searching for a page, you will be required to find the public page on Facebook and copy the URL into the bulletin settings.
CSL-622 - Uploaded Bulletins Do Not Respect Zone Settings for Public Site Display
Fixed an issue where the default value for displaying a bulletin on the public site was not being respected for uploaded bulletins.
CSL-1040 - Incorrect clock can show the wrong player status in dashboard
Fixed an issue where the player status could appear incorrect if the clock on the client machine was not in sync with the server. Now the status is decided by the server's clock so check in information is correct.
CSL-1170 - Icons on bulletin thumbnail (already created bulletins)
Added mouse hover text for bulletin action buttons.
CSL-1286 - Reboot prompt doesn't appear after a channel change in firefox
Fixed an issue where the BrightSign reboot prompt would not appear in a Firefox browser.
