BigBlueButton 4.0.0-rc.3

BigBlueButton 4.0.0-rc.3 is a stabilization release ahead of 4.0.0. The one new feature is on the whiteboard, where the mouse wheel behaviour is now configurable, letting administrators restore the pre-4.0 direct wheel-zoom. Most of the iteration is fixes — an in-depth pass over LiveKit reconnection, recovery and resiliency, several bbb-web hardening changes around name length and database column types, and a large amount of work bringing flaky and disabled tests back into the CI pool. Below is a list of the pull requests in this iteration, grouped by component.

For production use we still recommend the latest release of BigBlueButton 3.0.x.

From BigBlueButton

BigBlueButton 4.0.0-rc.1

BigBlueButton 4.0.0-rc.1 is the first release candidate for 4.0. Audio and LiveKit work dominates this iteration: the LiveKit bridge gains multi-room sessions with a membership-based token model (including automatic token refresh), breakout listen-in reaches parity with the FreeSWITCH/mediasoup transfer flow, and the "LiveKit as the audio state source" refactor lands with a long tail of talking-indicator, mute-state, and reconnection fixes. Advanced Filtering becomes pluggable with a second WASM backend (WorkAdventure/DTLN) alongside BBBA. The whiteboard switches to scroll-to-pan with Ctrl+scroll to zoom, the Learning Dashboard now works inside breakout rooms, and the webcam grid can be disabled per server or per meeting. Shared notes collect a round of BlockNote fixes covering math, link editing, export indentation, and the slash menu. Under the hood this candidate upgrades FreeSWITCH to 1.11.3 (from 1.10.12), bbb-webrtc-sfu to 2.25.0-beta.0, bbb-presentation-video to 5.1.0-rc.4, and lettuce-core to 7.7.0. Below is a list of the pull requests in this iteration, grouped by component.

For production use we still recommend the latest release of BigBlueButton 3.0.x.

Upgrade notes

This candidate removes three configuration items that were already dead or deprecated. Administrators upgrading an existing 4.0.x-beta server should check the following:

  • allowDuplicateExtUserid is no longer recognized in bigbluebutton.properties. Use maxUserConcurrentAccesses instead.
  • clientLogoutTimerInMinutes was removed. It was never consumed by the HTML5 client, and its last reader (the /enter endpoint) was removed earlier in 4.0. If you customized /usr/share/bbb-web/WEB-INF/classes/spring/resources.xml in place, remove the <property name="clientLogoutTimerInMinutes" .../> entry as well — bbb-web will otherwise fail to start with NotWritablePropertyException.
  • The logoutTimer parameter on create was removed. It had no effect: the value was stored in bbb-web but never propagated to akka-apps or the client.
  • sharedNotesEditor on create is now validated. Values are stripped of control characters and surrounding whitespace, matched case-insensitively against etherpad / blockNote, canonicalized, and unknown values are now rejected rather than silently accepted.
  • Breakout rooms now always inherit the parent meeting's effective meetingKeepEvents value. An explicit meetingKeepEvents parameter and the server-wide defaultKeepEvents fallback apply only to top-level meetings.

New client settings in this iteration: public.kurento.pagination.gridEnabled (default true) and public.media.audio.audioWasmProcessing.provider (bbba default, or workadventureDtln). The webcam grid can also be turned off per meeting with disabledFeatures=webcamGrid.

BigBlueButton 4.0.0-beta.5

BigBlueButton 4.0.0-beta.5 brings a mobile layout overhaul (paginated webcams, compact bars, responsive dialogs, and side-by-side cameras and presentation on phones in landscape) along with automatic light/dark theme switching via prefers-color-scheme. Audio work continues with a new dedicated Audio settings tab, push-to-talk enabled in settings.yml, and better BBB<->LiveKit state reconciliation on reconnects. On the packaging side this beta adds the bbbctl admin tool and a bbb-coturn package, makes bbb-etherpad and bbb-pads optional, and carries a broad set of dependency upgrades. Below is a list of the pull requests in this iteration, grouped by component.

We strongly encourage administrators to update their existing 4.0.x-beta servers to beta.5! For production use we still recommend the latest release of BigBlueButton 3.0.x.

In addition to updating to this patched version, we encourage administrators to proactively rotate the API secret via bbb-conf --setsecret https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/administration/bbb-conf/#--setsecret-new_secret

More details included in the advisory below in the bbb-etherpad section.

From BigBlueButton

This beta defaults BigBlueButton's media stack to LiveKit (with the legacy SIP.js audio bridge removed), makes BlockNote the default shared notes engine (now with Markdown export, init-from-markdown, and an import modal), and upgrades the JVM libraries and applications to Java 21. Other highlights include search, pin management, and a list/grid view toggle in the apps gallery, a new design for sidebar notifications and the participant counter, larger rendering for emoji-only chat messages (jumbomoji), configurable plugin button styles, and removal of the BBB Recording IMEX library as well as of several deprecated create/join parameters (lockSettingsDisableNote, userdata-bbb_change_layout, per-user enable-user-reaction). On the packaging side, bbb-webhooks is now built together with the other packages and YAML editing in scripts moved to yq-go. Below is a list of the pull requests in this iteration, grouped by component. Pull requests already released in BigBlueButton 3.0.x (3.0.28 through 3.0.32) and merged forward into 4.0 are not repeated here - see the corresponding 3.0.x release notes.
