|
||
|
||
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."

||

|
||
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.
