Version 1.1.0 Release Notes

Released 05/24/2023

Available as Docker image: quay.io/telosalliance/forza:1.1.0

Most significant features of this release:

  • Audio - Add “Bass Texture” quick tweak control that shifts the balance of band 1 processing between multiband limiting and final clipping.

  • Audio - Add "Slam" preset

  • Web UI - Add mouse configuration to compensate for OS natural scrolling.

  • Web UI / Deployment - Support reverse-proxy by path of the http web UI.  

Other Functional improvements:

  • Deployment - Add default CMD to container

  • Deployment - Change EX_AOIP_INTERFACE environment variable to IFACE_AOIP and add IFACE_WEBUI. IFACE_WEBUI specifies the network interface on which to serve the http web-ui.

    Note: EX_AOIP_INTERFACE has partial backwards compatibility. If new features don’t behave as expected, update the environment variable to IFACE_AOIP.

  • Deployment - Change default web-ui TCP port to 80. Note: this is configurable using the HTTP_PORT environment variable.

Bug Fixes:

  • UX/Audio - Recalling certain Omnia Presets will no longer engage/disengage the BS.1770 loudness controller. It is now independent of all Omnia or user preset settings.

  • GUI - Fix behavior where SaveAs to an existing preset name that is not the last saved preset would create presets with duplicate names.

Security:

  • Remove unneeded npm modules

  • Update all npm modules

  • Update Container base to ubuntu:jammy-20230308

  • Update nodejs to 18.15.0
