Today we are proud to announce that OpenLP 3.1.0 "Superb Seth" has been released. On the surface, this might not
seem like such a big release, since there seem to be very few new features, but if you dig a little deeper, the
sheer number of bugs squashed tells another story. We have also made a number of changes under the hood to help
carry OpenLP into the future.
Since version 2.0, OpenLP has supported the concept of "plugins" or "addons", but due to some limitations, these
plugins have always had to be deeply integrated into OpenLP. With the release of 3.1, OpenLP now has support for
community plugins, so that users can write their own plugins without needing them to become part of OpenLP.
As more and more churches are using OpenLP in a distributed fashion, more and more people are running into issues
when using OpenLP from multiple locations at the same time. In order to ease their pain, we have implemented a
locking mechanism which prevents more than one user from using OpenLP at the exact same time. Hopefully this will
tide users over until OpenLP has a better mechanism for sharing data.
It is because of Yahweh's loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his mercies don't fail. They are
new every morning. Great is your faithfulness.
"Yahweh is my portion," says my soul. "Therefore I will hope in him."
Lamentations 3:22-24 WEB
Known Issues
------------
Please read through the following issues carefully, so as to reduce the burden on the OpenLP developers.
Windows 7 and 8 are no longer supported
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Microsoft does not support them anymore either.
In order to make use of newer technologies, features and optimizations in the libraries that OpenLP uses, we
have had to drop support for Windows 7 and 8. Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 7 in January 2020 and
Windows 8 in July 2023, and Python stopped supporting Windows 7 with the release of Python 3.9 in October 2020.
This also makes life easier for our tiny development team.
macOS incorrectly reports OpenLP is damaged
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
macOS reports OpenLP as damaged, due to the OpenLP app not being signed. 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. In some cases, you may need to prepend ``sudo`` to the above command
4. This should allow you to start OpenLP normally
"VLC not installed" error on macOS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OpenLP uses VLC for video and media playback. At this stage VLC is not bundled with OpenLP, so you will need to
download and install it yourself.
You can download VLC from the `VLC website`_.
Main View does update in Ubuntu 22.04, Linux Mint
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The main view in the web remote does not update automatically on Ubuntu 22.04 due to Ubuntu/Mint 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`_.
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.
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.
Download
--------
To download OpenLP 3.1.0, go to the `Downloads </#downloads>`_ section of the homepage.
.. admonition:: **Please Note**
:class: note
Linux releases of OpenLP typically trail a little behind the Windows and macOS releases, due to our team not
building them. Please be patient, and reach out to the package maintainers if the package is still not up to
date after 2 or 3 weeks.
