CSL-2665 | Carousel Cloud Fails to Scope MDM Configuration Profile for Full Alerts - Fixed an issue where Carousel wouldn't use the MDM Configuration Profile's Site when creating the Mobile Device Group used to scoping the profile to players causing a "409 Conflict" and not applying the profile to the targeted players.

CSL-2448 | Expired EMS Bookings Continue to Show After They Expire - Fixed an issue where expired bookings would continue to show on EMS event display bulletins.

CSL-2515 | BrightSign Players Display Black if Font of Clock Bulletin is not Selected - Fixed an issue where BrightSign players would display black if a clock bulletin did not have a font selected by means of importing a bulletin with a font not installed on the server. It now displays the clock with a default font.
CSL-2527 | BrightSign FW Doesn't Revert to Supported Version Carousel Deploys if Beta Firmware is Manually Put on the Player - Brightsign Players will automatically synchronize their firmware version with Carousel's unless the player has its "Allow Software Updates" setting turned off in the Carousel UI's player dashboard.
CSL-2550 | Bulletin Scheduling Can Be Incorrect During Daylight Saving Time - Fixed an issue where zones with a custom timezone selected that were created since Carousel 7.0.0 were not respecting daylight saving time when scheduling bulletins.
CSL-2573 | Digital Date/Time Bulletins Show the Incorrect Timezone Offset - Fixed an issue where the 'z', 'zz' or 'zzz' timezone offset format strings would show the player's timezone information instead of the clock's timezone.
CSL-2600 | Windows Player Crash to Desktop Intermittently - Fixed an issue where an internal non-critical error could cause the Carousel Windows Player to exit silently. The Windows Player isn't configured to auto-restart out of the box so this caused the displays to sit on the Windows desktop, requiring user intervention.

CSL-2676 | Event Display can Display Events in Incorrect Timezone - Fixed an issue where events created in different timezones on an iCal source would be shown in the local timezone.

CSL-2609 | Set Accessibility Site to Disabled for Imported Channels - Imported channels will not have the Accessibility Site enabled.
CSL-2623 | BrightSign Players Don't Show Bulletins Added if a Zone Only has a Clock Bulletin - Bulletins added to a zone with only a clock bulletin will display as expected, without a player reboot.
CSL-2624 | Carousel Rendering Service Sometimes Fails To Start - Fixed an issue where the Carousel Rendering Service could fail to start while the system was starting up because it couldn't reach the database server.
CSL-2652 | Certain RSS Feeds are not Displaying Images - Fixed an issue where certain feeds would not display their images, support for embedded images including MediaRSS is improved.
CSL-2654 | BrightSign Goes Into Boot Loop if Trying to Play 4k and 4k is not Supported on Player - When a BrightSign player is scheduled to display a channel at an unsupported resolution, the display will show an error message saying it is an unsupported resolution. This will display until the channel has been changed.
CSL-2670 | Video Blocks in Portrait Channels are Rendered in the Wrong Location on BrightSign - Fixed a bug where portrait channels on BrightSign players would position video blocks incorrectly.
CSL-2684 | after upgrading 6.x to 7.x, user can no longer edit channels in the channel editor - Fixed an issue where editing a channel caused an error "The zone with Id 0 does not exist.". This could happen following an upgrade from Carousel 6 to Carousel 7.
