|
||||
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, it's finally here! Yes, OpenLP 3.0 has been released!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the
|
||||
Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
|
||||
|
||||
Colossians 3:23-24 WEB
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
One of our original goals with OpenLP was to move to faster releases, and while that didn't seem to
|
||||
happen for version 3.0, moving foward we are aiming to roll out releases much faster. With that in
|
||||
mind, we decided that the worst bugs have been fixed, and most people should be pretty happy with
|
||||
the 3.0 release.
|
||||
|
||||
Known Issues
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Before we dive into the new features, here are some known issues which may apply to you:
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning:: **Ubuntu 22.04**
|
||||
|
||||
The main view in the web remote does not update automatically on Ubuntu 22.04 due to Ubuntu
|
||||
shipping an old version of python3-websockets. This can be fixed by downloading and installing
|
||||
an updated version of the package from `the official Ubuntu archive`_.
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning:: **Wayland on Linux**
|
||||
|
||||
OpenLP at present does not behave well under Wayland so the recommendation is to run under X11.
|
||||
If you can't run in X11 (or prefer to run it in XWayland), you should start it with
|
||||
``QT_QPA_PLATFORM`` environment variable set to ``xcb``, although the Main View from the Web
|
||||
Remote will not work.
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning:: **Video backgrounds**
|
||||
|
||||
Video / streaming backgrounds and background audio in songs currently do not work together. You
|
||||
may experience either the video not working but the audio works, or the audio doesn't work while
|
||||
the video does.
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning:: **macOS**
|
||||
|
||||
macOS may report OpenLP as damaged. If you encounter this problem, you can try the following
|
||||
solution:
|
||||
|
||||
1. From Applications / Utilities run Terminal
|
||||
2. In Terminal, type in the following command::
|
||||
|
||||
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OpenLP.app
|
||||
|
||||
3. This should allow you to start OpenLP normally
|
||||
|
||||
New Features
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
One of the biggest changes in version 3.0 is that we completely rewrote the renderer, meaning that
|
||||
we were able to bring in efficient transitions between slides for text items (i.e. songs, Bible
|
||||
verses, custom slides). Transitions are available as part of themes.
|
||||
|
||||
Another major change in version 3.0 is the remote. Maintaining separate remotes for browsers,
|
||||
Android and iOS was painful and slow. In version 3.0 we rewrote the remote API, and have
|
||||
consolidated our work into the web remote. The web remote is also no longer bundled with OpenLP,
|
||||
allowing us to roll out updates to the remote separately from OpenLP itself. The old API's will be
|
||||
removed in a future release breaking the Android and IOS applications. Please migrate to the new
|
||||
Web Interface.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the two above, OpenLP now supports presentations on macOS, using LibreOffice,
|
||||
Microsoft PowerPoint for Mac and Keynote. Support of Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer has been removed.
|
||||
|
||||
Other New Features
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- VLC is now bundled with OpenLP on macOS and Windows, and there is no need to select a media
|
||||
players
|
||||
- Guide marks to show position within a clip and the ability to repeat the playing video
|
||||
- Motion (video) backgrounds in themes
|
||||
- Better screen detection and configuration
|
||||
- Performance improvements reducing start up times
|
||||
- The settings page has been updated, so a number of options have moved
|
||||
- All icons have been migrated from images to scalable monochromatic fonts to allow for the
|
||||
support of larger desktop displays and dark themes
|
||||
- OpenLP now ships with a dark interface/UI theme. On Windows and macOS, it can be enabled by
|
||||
enabling the dark theme on system. You can always force the dark theme by changing the Interface
|
||||
Theme in Settings
|
||||
- Media and Presentations now support being grouped by folders
|
||||
- Slide numbers in footer can be enabled in Settings
|
||||
- Songs can be searched by number
|
||||
- Chord support in songs (can be enabled in Song settings). The chords are shown in the "Chords
|
||||
View" section of Web Remote, which supports chord transposition and mobile devices
|
||||
- More song formats can be imported:
|
||||
- Singing The Faith
|
||||
- LivePresenter
|
||||
- ProPresenter 5 and 6
|
||||
- EasyWorship 6
|
||||
- ChordPro (for chords)
|
||||
- More bible formats can be imported:
|
||||
- SWORD
|
||||
- WordProject
|
||||
- Support for importing services from PlanningCenter
|
||||
|
||||
Updates and Bug Fixes
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
A lot more has been fixed, updated or improved, far too much to include here. If you're really
|
||||
curious, you can do a `comparison between 2.4.6 and 3.0.0`_ on GitLab.
