CasparCG Server v2.3.0 LTS Beta 1

CasparCG 2.3.0 LTS Beta 1

It's here, the first LTS version ever of CasparCG Server! Even if it is a beta release we have been all working hard to make this happen. As the name indicates we have been working and focusing on stability and reliability in this version. We have also done smaller improvements to the performance compared to the previous version.

CasparCG Server v2.3.0 LTS Beta 1 can be downloaded directly from this release (see attachments).

2018-12-29 - Version 2.2.0 Stable

Announcement

CasparCG Server v2.2.0 is now released.

Finally, we now have a really solid and stable new version of CasparCG Server. The primary focus in this release has been stability, cleanup and production reliability. To achieve this we had to introduce some breaking changes but in the long term, the server code will be easier to maintain and it should also make it easier to do pull requests against. You can read about changes done in the CHANGELOG.

CasparCG Server v2.2.0 Stable can be downloaded directly from this release (see attachments) or here.

CasparCG Client has got a number of pull requests that need to be merged, but before that the build servers need to be updated. Until then, the new CasparCG Client 2.2.0 RC can also be downloaded directly from this release (see attachments) or from here.

Happy new year!

Best regards,
Santa
