Hi everyone,
Please note that this is a "fresh start" release candidate rather than an upgrade path from Concerto 2. We’ve focused on getting the fundamentals right and making the system production-ready.
We would love your feedback! If you find a bug or have a feature request, please head over to our GitHub Issue Tracker, join the discussion thread, or reply here.
Looking forward to your feedback,

18 years ago today, we installed the very first Concerto screen in the Lally School at RPI. It’s been quite a journey since then, and today we’re marking that anniversary with a major milestone: the first release candidate for Concerto 3.
Concerto 3 is a ground-up rewrite using Rails 8 and Vue 3. While the tech stack is modern, the goal remains the same: a powerful, easy-to-use community digital signage system. This release brings the core features you know; screens, feeds, moderation, and subscriptions while introducing some long-requested improvements:
* Pinned Content: Finally, a native way to lock content (like clocks or weather) to specific fields.
* WYSIWYG Template Editor: Edit your screen layouts visually without touching code.
* OIDC Support: Modern SSO integration for organizations.
* Remote Feeds: A new way to pull in dynamic content from external sources.
How to try it:
