Recent updates - October 2025

Kollaborate Server 2025.3.5 - Oct 7 2025

Important: The Docker image is configured to convert the current database to your MariaDB version automatically. As such, we would recommend backing up the database before upgrading to any version as you may be unable to downgrade otherwise. You can download the current database as a .sql file from the Tools section of the Admin Area. We recommend doing this BEFORE copying the newer version's files over.

Note: 2025.3.1 and higher have important changes to how files are stored on disk that makes them backwards-incompatible with earlier versions. See the release notes for 2025.3.1 for more details.

Changes:

• Fixed an issue that could prevent encoding jobs from completing (you might need to clear the queue in the Admin Dashboard and restart existing jobs)
