BigBlueButton 2.3-beta-2 released

[Anton Georgiev]

We are pleased to announce 2.3-beta-2, the latest release to BigBluebutton 2.3-dev.

This 2.3 release includes multiple bug fixes, accessibility, usability and configuration improvements. We aso improved presentation conversion, detection (and notification) of connection issues, and added support for dynamic audio device switching!

 Note that unified-plan was set to default for WebRTC audio, overriding plan-b.

The full release notes for 2.3-beta-2 are here

https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/releases/tag/v2.3-beta-2

To try out 2.3-beta-2, visit

https://test23.bigbluebutton.org/

Or, better yet, grab a Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit server and install the latest version yourself (it will take only a few minutes):

   https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/dev/dev23.html

Note that the repository used to install is now `bionic-230` rather than `bionic-230-dev`, so please double check the command you use for the update. Check the instructions in the link above.

As always, we welcome feedback on this latest update.

Hi all,

I wanted to report a minor issue I ran into today when I uninstalled BBB2.3-alpha and then installed BBB2.3-beta2:

After the installation with bbb-install.sh was done, I did not immediately check if everything was ok and by the time I did, I saw that the freeswitch process was using 200% cpu load without any meetings running. When I checked the freeswitch log directory it already had several GBs of error logs in it after just 60 minutes since the install. They were full with this:

BEGIN EXCLUSIVE
2021-04-03 10:49:38.379102 [CRIT] switch_core_sqldb.c:2171 ERROR [attempt to write a readonly database], [db="/dev/shm/core.db",type="core_db"]
2021-04-03 10:49:38.379102 [ERR] switch_core_sqldb.c:732 [db="/dev/shm/core.db",type="core_db"] NATIVE SQL ERR [cannot commit - no transaction is active]
COMMIT

Permissions for the mentioned file were:

root:/dev/shm# ls -l
total 344
-rw-r--r-- 1 meteor daemon 352256 Apr  3 09:34 core.db

After checking with my old BBB2.2 server I saw this file should be owned by freeswitch and not by meteor. After changing the owner and restarting BBB2.3-beta2 everything now works fine as far as I can tell.

I'm not sure if this problem is related to me uninstalling 2.3-alpha and the reinstalling 2.3-beta but I guess it could be avoided by making sure in the install script that this db file is owned by freeswitch.

Best regards
Oliver

Thanks for reporting this, Oliver!

I checked a few servers here that run 2.3-beta2 and they both have

ls -l /dev/shm/

total 476

-rw-r--r-- 1 freeswitch daemon 487424 Apr  5 13:07 core.d

We received reports of similar file ownership issues and we are yet to address some of them.

I opened issue https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/issues/11887 to track and resolve this as part of 2.3.

Same here working pretty well so far :). Only thing I noticed, it's not working on Edge (you can't join a conference)
