<p><b>This is the third bug fix release in the 1.2 series of Xibo server and clients. It contains a single security fix.</b>
43
</p><p>Our thanks go to everyone who has helped out with testing and developing some of the new features in this release. Thanks also to everyone who sent bug reports, patches, translations or ideas. Special thanks to everyone who has supported us financially too by making a donation to the project.
44
</p><p>You can download this release from <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://launchpad.net/xibo/1.2/1.2.3">https://launchpad.net/xibo/1.2/1.2.3</a>
46
<h3> <span class="mw-headline" id="Requirements"> Requirements </span></h3>
47
<p>You are strongly advised to use 1.2.2 .net client, or 1.2.2a2 Python client with 1.2.2 server.
48
</p><p>You may however optionally use 1.2.0 client with 1.2.2 server, however media inventory will not work in that configuration. We recommend not using 1.2.1 client as there is a bug with video end detection.
49
</p><p>Xibo requires PHP 5.2.9 or higher. A full list of module requirements is presented at the point of installation - we'll even tell you which modules you're missing!
50
</p><p>Xibo now requires the PHP SOAP module to be installed and enabled.
51
</p><p>If your installation of PHP has SOAP WSDL caching turned on, you may need to delete the WSDL cache before the media inventory feature will function. On Linux servers, you need to delete files called wsdl* from /tmp. On Windows servers, delete files called wsdl* from your PHP installations temporary files directory.

<h4> <span class="mw-headline" id="Notes_on_the_Automated_Backups"> Notes on the Automated Backups </span></h4>
55
<p>We currently provide an automated backup as part of the upgrade routine. It's there as an absolute last resort fall back and restoring data from it is not trivial. Please ensure you take a full database backup using mysqldump or another appropriate tool before you undertake any upgrade. We may not be able to support you if an upgrade fails and you do not have a backup of the database before you started.
57
<h4> <span class="mw-headline" id="Upgrading_from_1.0_.28Halley.29"> Upgrading from 1.0 (Halley) </span></h4>
58
<p>There are significant database schema changes between the 1.0 series of Xibo and the 1.2 series. The upgrader will take a 1.0 series database and convert it to a schema suitable for the 1.2 series to date. Note that this is a one-way conversion. Please ensure you have a full backup of your 1.0 series database before upgrading. DO NOT RELY ON THE AUTOMATED BACKUP ROUTINE! Instructions for cloning a Xibo database are available here <a href="index.php?toc=developer&p=admin/release_notes_clonedb" title="Release Notes:Clone Database">Release Notes:Clone Database</a> if you would prefer to copy your database and upgrade that instead.
60
<ul><li> Backup your database
61
</li><li> Optionally clone your existing Xibo database and grant permissions (see <a href="index.php?toc=developer&p=admin/release_notes_clonedb" title="Release Notes:Clone Database">Release Notes:Clone Database</a> for details)
62
</li><li> Continue with instructions from 1.1.x below.

<h3> <span class="mw-headline" id="Known_Issues_and_Limitations"> Known Issues and Limitations </span></h3>
98
<p>Xibo is a young project. There are plenty of new features in the pipeline, but to provide a stable platform for users wanting Xibo now, the 1.2 series of releases are now feature-frozen (no new features will be implemented).
99
</p><p>Therefore there are the following known issues and limitations with Xibo 1.2.0:
101
<ul><li> The backgrounds of Text and RSS media items are not transparent if the background of a layout is a GIF image. Please use JPEG images as a work around. <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/xibo/+bug/348506">[2]</a> (applies only to .net client)
102
</li><li> Overlapping regions are handled badly. The existing server/client were never developed to support overlapping regions, but they do work in some circumstances which is why we have decided to leave this functionality intact, but with the caveat that they may not work as you expect. <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/xibo/+bug/321377">[3]</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://answers.launchpad.net/xibo/+question/64768">[4]</a> (applies only to .net client)
103
</li><li> Backgrounds of FlashMedia items are not transparent. This is a limitation of the Adobe Flash C# control. <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/xibo/+bug/341634">[5]</a> (applies only to .net client)
104
</li><li> RSS Tickers using "single" mode render incorrectly. (applies only to Python client)
