Kollaborate Encoder 1.8 - Jul 5 2024

Changes:

• Support for customizable encoding profiles (configure this in the Admin Area of the webserver)
• Support for larger hoverscrub thumbnails
• Fixed an issue where combining multiple audio channels could cause peaking
• Minor bug fixes, tweaks and optimizations

Kollaborate Server 3.8 - Jul 5 2024

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.

Major New Features:

• Single-Sign On (Preview) - You can now have authentication handled by a third-party SAML provider. This can be enabled from the Configure page of the Admin Area. If you enter the wrong details and end up locked out, delete config/sso_config.php to disable SSO.
• UI refresh - darker color scheme, new fonts, new icons, layout improvements.
• Higher quality thumbnails and better handling of non-16:9 thumbnail sizes
• Redesigned login flow
• New permissions - modifying other users' files and modifying other users' comments. This allows you to modify others' assets without needing to be an admin
• Saved Searches - Save an advanced search to apply it as a file filter. (Note that while you can apply a filter that searches the entire project, in most cases you will want it to only apply to the current folder.)
• Template Projects - Create a template project with folders, saved searches, departments, users, tasks and workflows. These can be applied when creating a new project
• Custom Encoding Profiles - Change the frame size, bitrate, etc of the videos created by Kollaborate Encoder. (Requires Kollaborate Encoder 1.8.) This can be edited from the Admin Area of the webserver. Note that while you can create multiple proxies of different frame sizes, this is of limited utility right now because you can't switch between them in the player. We plan to offer more features to enable this in future.

Other Changes:

• In-progress uploads are now stored on the storage volume instead of inside the webserver container. This solves issues if the webserver has limited storage space, with the added bonus of making the finishing stage much faster
• Admin - Overhauled the UI of the Tools page
• History is now shown in the project navigation bar to increase accessibility of this feature
• Upgrader - Database tables / columns that already exist are now ignored. This can solve issues where you may have ended up with a partial upgrade
• Admin - Added the ability to hide the Help link at the bottom of the page
• Player - Improved JKL key behavior to be more in line with NLEs
• Files - New filters: Uploaded by Me and Uploaded by Others
• Files - Only allow those with file modification permissions to manually set a file's workflow
• Custom file permissions feature has been removed. Please use departments to manage file access
• File rename events are now stored in history
• File move events for each individual file are stored in history when moving a folder
• History - Better support for accented user names
• Player - Original file extension is shown in the Metadata pane
• Files - Added the ability to import comments, metadata and captions by right-clicking a file on the Files page
• Upload Workflows - Fixed an issue where workflows set to the project root wouldn't apply inside departments
• Files - Fixed an issue where renaming a file and leaving the name unchanged would show an alert that the file already exists
• Files - Fixed an issue where it may exit file renaming unexpectedly if you rename immediately after uploading
• API - Fixed an issue where special characters in a folder name could cause duplicate folders to be created
• API - Fixed a crash when special characters exist in file title
• Advanced Search - Fixed an issue where "has versions" parameter wouldn't return results
• Files - Fixed an issue where version count wouldn't update when combining a new version
• Projects - Fixed controls overlapping long project descriptions
• Tasks - Fixed an issue where history description could be garbled
• Files - Upload speed is now shown in Mb/s
• Many small fixes and tweaks

We've just released Kollaborate Server 3.8, a major update to our self-hosted workflow and collaboration platform.

Single-Sign On (Preview)

Kollaborate Server now supports Single-Sign On (SSO), allowing enterprise users to have logins handled by a third-party authentication provider. When logging in with the identity provider, Kollaborate will link the login to any user accounts that already exist with that email address or otherwise create the account transparently in the background.

In order to facilitate this we have completely redesigned the login page. It is now simpler, more consistent and more reliable.

UI Refresh

We've changed the UI theme to be darker and added new icons and fonts. There are far too many changes to document, but some include relocating the user dropdown to the sidebar, new interface controls, and improvements to the layout of the player page.

Higher-quality thumbnails

Thumbnail images are now displayed at a higher resolution. In order to facilitate this we've completely redesigned how we display thumbnails, resulting in numerous improvements including more consistent handling of non-16:9 frame sizes.

To convert your existing thumbnails, use the option to regenerate thumbnails for all files in the Tools page of the Admin Area.

New permissions

We've added two new user permissions: modifying others' files and modifying others' comments. This allows users to interact with others' assets without needing to be an admin.

Saved Searches

Advanced Searches can be saved and will appear as filters on the Files page.

(Note that we recommend saved searches are limited to the current folder in most cases. Searching the entire project should only be used for specific use-cases because it can be confusing to users when the filter is applied while navigating into subfolders.)

Template Projects

Create template projects that can be used to copy settings when creating new projects. The data that can be stored in a template are folder structures, saved searches, departments, team, tasks and workflows.

Custom Encoding Profiles

The encoding settings used by Kollaborate Encoder can be modified, allowing you to change bitrate, frame size and other settings. This requires Kollaborate Encoder 1.8 and can be set from the Admin Area of the webserver.

Note that while you can have Kollaborate Encoder create multiple proxies of different frame sizes, that is of limited utility right now because there is no way to switch between them and Kollaborate will always just play the highest-quality proxy. This will be more useful with features we are planning in future.

Other Changes:

• In-progress uploads are now stored on the storage volume instead of inside the webserver container. This solves issues if the webserver has limited storage space, with the added bonus of making the finishing stage much faster
• Admin - Overhauled the UI of the Tools page

Post Haste for Mac 2.8.3 - Mar 9 2024

Update: This build fixes a hang some users were experiencing at startup.

Variables can now be entered into parameter values on the New Project page, as well as default values and prefixes / suffixes in the Parameters pane of Preferences.

This allows you to create more complex naming conventions with repeating values, without having to enter redundant information. For example, you could add "[project number]-" as a prefix to all other parameters so that every subfolder in the path contains the project number.

Post Haste for Windows 2.4.3 - Mar 8 2024

Variables can now be entered into parameter values on the New Project page, as well as default values and prefixes / suffixes in the Parameters pane of Preferences.

This allows you to create more complex naming conventions with repeating values, without having to enter redundant information. For example, you could add "[project number]-" as a prefix to all other parameters so that every subfolder in the path contains the project number.

In Post Haste for Mac 2.8.3 / Post Haste for Windows 2.4.3, variables can now be entered into parameter values on the New Project page, as well as default values and prefixes / suffixes in the Parameters pane of Preferences

Variables allow you to take the value of a parameter and use that value as part of the path. To do this, surround the name of the parameter in square brackets, for example [client]. (Capitalization is not important but spacing is.)

Extending variable support to parameter values and prefixes / suffixes allows you to create more complex naming conventions with repeating values, without having to enter redundant information. For example, you could add "[project number]-" as a prefix to all other parameters so that every subfolder in the path contains the project number.

Post Haste is a free app for Mac and PC that makes it easy to create new projects from templated folder structures. To find out more, check out the feature list, read the user manual or download the app for Mac or PC.

Kollaborate Server 3.7 is a major update to our self-hosted workflow platform with thousands of code changes, mainly on the backend, to modernize and improve reliability. It also contains many new features, bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements.

PHP 8.1 and MariaDB

This version updates PHP to version 8.1 and uses MariaDB instead of MySQL, both of which improve performance.

Trash

Deleting a file now moves it to the Trash, which can be accessed at the bottom of the screen.

Project admins can restore or empty the trash, otherwise those files will be removed automatically after 30 days.

User interface improvements

New controls for entering timecode and copying text.

Color and theme changes

Many optimizations to theming, including better support for light-colored interfaces. (You may need to rebuild your custom theme from the Tools section of the Admin Area for it to display correctly in this version.)

User administration

View stats for a user, such as the projects they are part of and how many files they have uploaded.

You can now suspend users, preventing them from using the site but keeping their files, comments, etc, intact.

Comment importing improvements

You can now map timecode, author and comment to specific columns within a CSV, as well as getting the author name from the file if the format supports it.

Comments can be imported and exported as TSV (Tab-Separated Values).

Require MFA

You can now require the user to have Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) activated before they can access a project. Edit a project to switch this option on.

There are many more changes and fixes; view the full list here.
