Version 2025.4

Release Date: 2025-06-04

Breaking Changes​

Attention! These things are very important:

  • SBS-3419: VisTool Embed
    With the update to Broadcast Suite 2025.1 or newer, web panels can no longer be embedded into LAWO VisTool due to an incompatibility with the integrated Chromium engine. This incompatibility will be fixed in an upcoming VisTool version.
    As an alternative, you can use the Broadcast Suite Agent to show web panels on Windows clients.

Features​

Let's explore what's new:

  • SBS-3459: Visca Over IP Actions
    The new VISCA over IP actions allow loading presets (VISCA Preset) and control (VISCA Power State) the power state of any VISCA compatible device
  • SBS-3471: New Index and Detail Page for Files
    On the new files index page in the technical menu, all files created by the Broadcast Suite can be viewed.
    Apart from getting information on the name, type, extension, size, and other specifications of the files, they can also be locked from deletion.
    The Lock/Unlock-button can be found on the index and the detail page for files, and on the index page for backups. Locking a backup from deletion simultaneously locks the corresponding file.

Panels​

The following features require the Panels add-on.

  • SBS-2906: WebAssembly (Wasm) Support for Web Panels
    Panels can now be opened in a Wasm client. With Wasm, the panel runs directly in the browser, reducing server load by shifting communication with the core and panel rendering to the browser.

    Each web panel can be opened either in the traditional way or using Wasm. To use Wasm, enable the corresponding setting and restart all projects (API, Core, and GUI). Once activated, you can select Wasm from the panel index using the View button.

    Please note that this is our first release using this technology. We welcome your feedback and experiences.

Improvements​

These things are much better now:

  • SBS-3403: HTTPS Handling
    When HTTPS is enabled, all communication between the Core, GUI, API, and Agents now consistently uses HTTPS. Relevant URLs are automatically adjusted to use the secure protocol, reducing the need for manual configuration.
  • SBS-3438: Connection User
    We have added the new default user connection_user.
    The connection_user is used to establish communication between the different projects (API, Core, GUI).
    This user cannot log in via the GUI or the API, and can also not be modified.
  • SBS-3473: We have created a new background job which deletes files that we have created in the temp folder when they are no longer needed
  • SBS-3557: Script Action Wait for exit
    The Wait for Exit parameter has been added to the Script action. For example, this allows the script to start another program without having to wait until the program is closed again.
  • SBS-3564: The node pairing dialog now supports the selection of the gRPC connection type
  • SBS-3580: Triggers are now alphabetically sorted in placeholders such as InvokingTriggersHtml or InvokingTriggersOneLine

Installer​

  • SBS-3577: .NET 9.0.5 in Windows Installer

Supervisor​

  • SBS-3553: Node Sync
    The Node Sync has been improved. A manual sync is now always possible, even if there are failed sync logs.
    The automatic sync now only checks for failed entries in its own cluster.
  • SBS-3554: The cluster create and edit pages now feature a Sync Mode (Automatic or Manual)
