| About | |
| ===== | |
| Apache Openmeetings [Incubating] provides video conferencing, instant messaging, white board, collaborative | |
| document editing and other groupware tools using API functions of the Red5 Streaming | |
| Server for Remoting and Streaming. | |
| Release Notes | |
| ============= | |
| see CHANGES file for detailed log | |
| _Restyled UI_ | |
| The UI has been re-factored to have a common look and fee. Additionally most | |
| of the icons are now loaded at runtime. That means you can change colors and icons at | |
| runtime without changing the source code. | |
| More info: http://incubator.apache.org/openmeetings/themes-and-branding.html | |
| _New Calendar_ | |
| The calendar was completely re-factored and got a new UI that was build from | |
| scratch that also adds some new functions. For example it is possible now to password | |
| protect invitations send via the calendar. Further the timezone handling has been | |
| re-factored and there is now also a SOAP/REST API to handle calendar Events | |
| ( http://incubator.apache.org/openmeetings/SoapRestAPI.html ) | |
| _Integration with Asterisk_ | |
| The application contains now modules to directly integrate OpenMeetings with Asterisk | |
| for SIP/VoIP integration. It enables you to dial in as well as dial out of conference | |
| room to SIP or landlane phones. | |
| More info: http://incubator.apache.org/openmeetings/voip-sip-integration.html | |
| _Install/Backup/Import via command line_ | |
| Additionally to the Web-Interface you can now do all basic operations via the console. | |
| Just cd to your OpenMeetings installation directory and type admin and you will see | |
| all options available (OpenMeetings service should be shut down while doing those operations) | |
| _Using SWF10 for Video Components_ | |
| All audio/video related components now use SWF10 for broadcasting and receiving | |
| audio and video signals. That makes it possible to use for example the echo cancellation | |
| feature build in the SWF10 Flash Player. | |
| There are a lot more improvements for example to recording, screen sharing and new layout | |
| options. To see the full list please review our Release Notes for Version 2.0: | |

| _Integration into Atlassian Confluence_ | |
| Same for Atlassian Confluence Wiki, you can watch | |
| a demo here: https://blogs.apache.org/openmeetings/entry/demo_video_about_upcoming_atlassian | |
| _Important Changes_ | |
| OpenOffice service does not need any more to be started. But you have | |
| to set the path to OpenOffice (or LibreOffice) and JODConverter tools in | |
| OpenMeetings configuration. OpenMeetings (and JODConverter) will start and stop the | |
| OpenOffice service when they need it. | |
| If you are using MySQL: MySQL driver is no more part of the distribution due to license restrictions. | |
| You will need to download the JConnector Driver on your own, see: | |
| http://incubator.apache.org/openmeetings/MySQLConfig.html | |
| _Upgrading from Version 1.9 or prior_ | |
| To update from an old version of OpenMeetings to 2.x | |
| you should use the integrated Backup and Import tool that exists since around Version 1.3. | |
| You should follow our documentation, | |
| see: http://incubator.apache.org/openmeetings/Upgrade.html | |
