LibreSignage v1.1.0-beta-1 release
This is the first beta release for LibreSignage v1.1.0. The full
changelog is included below.
This release includes a rewrite of the server-side API system and major
improvements to all server-side code. Integration tests were also
written for the API.
Another important new feature, made possible by the API rewrite, is the
support for HTTP caching slides. This should improve display performance
quite a bit.
You can begin testing this release by either building from source or by
using the prebuilt Docker images from Docker Hub. The readme has
instructions for building LibreSignage by yourself. Docker images will
appear in the Docker Hub repository as `eerotal/libresignage:v1.1.0-beta-1`
shortly after this tag is pushed into the LibreSignage repository.
Please report any bugs and issues you find in the GitHub bug tracker at
https://github.com/eerotal/LibreSignage/issues
