Releases

udServer 1.16.0

Features

• New organisations are now created from an organisation type: collaborative (the built-in defaults), managed (view-only defaults plus starter roles) or blank (no permissions at all), so a new organisation starts with the access model it actually wants.
• A scene published for preview can now be opened from its share code alone, with no account and no license of the viewer's own. Publishing a preview link requires the Scene Share permission and a Studio license; withdrawing one requires only the permission, so an expired license can never strand a link that is already out.
• The udStream web viewer is now packaged with the server, so a deployment serves its own viewer and signs in against the server hosting it rather than udCloud. Bundled viewer build is udStream 1.9.3.
• Collaborative scene editing is markedly faster and more reliable. Scene changes are now ordered by a per-scene edit sequence and served from an in-memory queue, so an edit can no longer be skipped over while its write is still in flight, and a viewer's presence no longer writes a database row on every poll. A drag now reaches storage as the position it settled on instead of as every frame of it.
• WebSocket connections now close with a reason code rather than a bare disconnect, so a client can tell a rejected sign-in from a dropped network and stop retrying. A slow or stalled client no longer holds up traffic for everyone else, and a session is limited to a small number of simultaneous connections as a backstop against a reconnect loop.
• Updated the user guide.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed sessions licensed by email domain always being treated as udStream Studio regardless of the tier their domain entry actually grants.
• Improved handling of udSDK signatures to better support older udSDK builds
• Fixed a failed restore being able to leave the database committed and half-migrated, and then handing it back to traffic. A restore now either lands whole or leaves nothing behind, and the server holds maintenance mode if it cannot confirm the database survived.
• Fixed scene edits being held in memory until shutdown when a write failed and the server then went quiet.
• Fixed memory leaks when approving an SDK key and when changing a session's user.
• Fixed the scene viewer page showing a login box in states where it did not apply.
• Updated localisations.

Upgrade Notes

• The database is migrated from v227 to v232 on first start. Take a backup before upgrading.

udServer 1.15.1

Features

• Egress usage now breaks down three ways instead of one — by category, by project (organisation view) or organisation (server admin view), and by user — making it clearer where outbound traffic is coming from. Seeing a user's name and email alongside their volume requires the User List permission.
• Images and screenshots can now be pasted or dropped straight onto a work item as it is created.
• Work items now open on the kanban board by default.
• The login page now explains that signing in creates the account, as there is no separate sign-up step.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the admin pages reformatting a server or issued license when displaying it, which invalidated its signature.
• Fixed email unsubscribe pages not being shown in the recipient's preferred language.
• Fixed the project files list being narrower than its panel, which clipped ordinary-length filenames.

udServer 1.15.0

Features

• Added user licensing, managed by organisations rather than admins.
  • Licenses are issued as tiers (udSDK Basic, udStream Analyst, udStream Studio) with optional SolidScan and Strategic add-ons.
  • Each organisation has a seat allocation ledger, and administrators can assign, revoke and review licenses per user.
  • Seats can be purchased for an organisation directly through Stripe checkout, with several products bought in a single transaction.
  • A scene can grant a view-only Previewer license, so somebody can open a shared scene without holding a license of their own.
  • Added an organisation activity log, per-domain license tiers, and a phase-out report for legacy domain licensing.
  • Server administrators can manage any organisation's licenses from the admin organisations page.
• udServer can now act as a license issuer. The standalone udLicenseServer has been folded in: a server whose license carries an issuer key can register downstream servers and mint their licenses from the new License Issuer admin page.
• Added native backups without having to touch pg directly. An administrator can take a full server backup and restore from one, with the server held in maintenance mode while a restore runs.
• Added work items — per-project tasks and QA items with states, tags, comments, an edit history, and a drag-and-drop board.
• Added a WebSocket API. Scene updates are now pushed event-driven per scene instead of polled, which takes most of the latency out of collaborative editing.
• Added email support: a proper SMTP transport, a persistent send queue, localised content, per-user notification preferences, and bounce suppression. Organisation invitations, cancellations, acceptances, member removals and role changes all send mail.
• Organisations can now be joined without one-at-a-time invitations:
  • Organisations can claim email domains, so colleagues find and join on their own. Claiming a domain requires an address on it, and public webmail providers are blocked server-wide.
  • Added reusable, revocable invite links with optional expiry and use limits.
  • Requests to join can require approval, and appear alongside invites on the members page.
  • Added the Manage Joining organisation permission, and a Blocked joining domains server setting.
• Added project and organisation deletion, with a retention period before the data is swept and purged.
• Added egress logging: outbound bytes are recorded per request against a category, with usage reporting for both organisation administrators and server administrators.
• Projects can now keep files on a local or network-mounted drive, gated by a server-wide allowed storage root.
• Added better support for running behind a reverse proxy, so the real client address is used.
• Added legal documents: a deployment can publish its privacy policy, terms of service and subprocessor list, each either served by the server or linked out to an external URL.
• Scenes can now be created directly from the portal.
• A web UI consistency pass: navigation sync, a copy sweep, permission-aware controls that hide actions that would fail, and numerous small UX fixes.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed accepting an organisation invitation reporting a server fault: the user was added but their roles were never applied and the invitation was left behind.
• Fixed a login rejected because the account is disabled reporting a generic failure instead of the real reason.
• Fixed several scene synchronisation issues, including changes being missed when a scene's change window closed early.
• Fixed memory leaks in server configuration handling and in backups.
• Fixed permission strings being too short to hold the full permission set.

Upgrade Notes

• The database is migrated from v214 to v227 on first start. Take a backup before upgrading.
• udLicenseServer is no longer built or shipped; udServer performs that role now.

• The admin Server Config page can now apply a new license JSON at runtime; the license is validated, takes effect immediately, and is persisted across restarts.
• Added a Licensed Domains card to the Server Config page showing each licensed domain's session limit and premium status (hidden when the license has no domains).
