Bug CSL-58 | Weather Bulletins Should Show Celsius Temperature as a Whole Number
Fixed an issue where weather bulletins set to show temperature in Celsius would only show temperatures increments of 1 and would always show a decimal of 0. Celsius weather bulletins now have their temperature values rounded to the nearest 0.5 degree value, and integer values will no longer show the decimal (ex: 20.0 will show as 20).

Bug CSL-110 | Carousel Installer Fails If Dependency Requires System Restart
Fixed an issue where the installer would report a generic error message when a dependency required a restart. We now detect the restart condition and inform the user that a restart is required. After the system restarts, the install will resume if needed.
Bug CSL-308 | Player Connection Test Fails Bulletin Information Download
Fixed an issue where players on new systems would fail the bulletin information download check due to the test file being moved. Players on properly configured systems now can pass the bulletin information download check.
Bug CSL-304 | Installer Can Write Files to the Wrong Directory
Fixed an issue where the installer would write some files to directories that are different from the target directory. It now installs all files to proper place.
Bug CSL-293 | RDA Commands Don't Move Bulletins in an Error State
Fixed an issue where sending an exclusive alert command through RDA would not properly turn off a bulletin that is in an error state preventing multiple active alerts to be active at the same time. The exclusive alert RDA command now properly turns off a bulletin that is in an error state.
Bug CSL-77 | Video Bulletins Can Show out of Position
Fixed an issues where video bulletins would show out of position for the first few bulletins cycles causing it to show black. Fixed another issue where a video bulletin would briefly show larger than intended. Video bulletins now show in the correct position and size.

April 12, 2017

Bug CSL-17 | Player Dependencies And BrightSign Firmware Can Install To Incorrect Location
Fixed an issue in the installer that would install the Player Dependencies and BrightSign Firmware to an incorrect path. The files are now installed to the correct location.
Bug CSL-13 | Render Logs Fail To Clean Up
Fixed several issues related to the clean up of render logs. Render logs are now cleaned up periodically throughout the day instead of nightly ensuring that the logs don't use all the available database disk space.
Bug CSL-18 | Allow Users To Set Page Width And Height For Webpage Snapshots
Users can now set the page's width and height when creating a web page snapshot. Additionally, the width and height now default to the zone's width and height. This allows a user to fully control how the snapshot will render in the image block.
Bug CSL-97 | Rendering Can Use Too Much Memory
Fixed a check in the Carousel Rendering service that was allowing rendering subprocess to exceed their memory limit. If a subprocess's memory usage grows too large, it is now restarted by the service.
Bug CSL-96 | Memory Leak When Starting Carousel Service
Fixed a memory leak when running migrations for templates and bulletins. This happened during the start of the Carousel service, and on large systems could use all the available memory causing slowness and crashes.
Bug CSL-95 | Systems Using Active Directory Can Take A Long Time To Load User Interface
Fixed how Carousel requests Active Directory users to greatly improve the response time when initially loading users.
Bug CSL-94 | User Interface Can Fail To Load When Using Active Directory Authentication
Fixed an issue where loading users from Active Directory would cause an API endpoint to fail. This failure prevented the user interface from loading. The users are now loaded correctly allowing the Carousel UI to load.
Bug CSL-93 | Carousel API v1 Support
Beginning with this version the Carousel RESTful JSON API is officially supported. Visit http://your-server.com/CarouselAPI for API documentation.
Bug CSL-92 | Interactive Bulletins Display Black On Windows Players When Using Chrome
Fixed several issues related to positioning of interactive bulletins on Windows players when using the Chrome browser.
Bug CSL-91 | Editing A Video Bulletin Causes The Bulletin To Not Display
Fixed an issue where editing a video bulletin would cause the reference to the video file to be lost. This would cause Windows players to not be able to display the video, and BrightSign players to enter a reboot loop.
Bug CSL-90 | Using Arrow Keys For Positioning Blocks Does Not Always Work
Fixed an issue where the arrow keys would adjust the position of a block only when the Size and Position settings were open. The arrow keys can now be used to position a block whenever a block is selected.
Bug CSL-89 | Editing Notification Email Settings While Editing A Zone Can Prevent Saving
Fixed an issue where editing a zone's notifications settings would prevent the user from saving the zone because focus could not be taken away from the input.
Bug CSL-88 | Some Videos Loop Instead Of Transitioning To Next Bulletin
Fixed an issue where some videos would loop indefinitely preventing the player from transitioning to the next bulletin. Videos now play only once then transition to the next bulletin.
Bug CSL-87 | System Health Check Sometimes Fails When System Is Healthy
The system health check could sometimes fail when the system was under heavy load even though it was operating normally. We increased a timeout for a database check to minimize false positives.
Bug CSL-86 | More Clearly Distinguish Between Corrupt And Error States
We received feedback that the visual styling of bulletin corrupt and error states was confusing because they both use the same icons. Corrupt bulletins now use a skull and crossbones to distinguish it from the error state which uses an exclamation point.
Bug CSL-85 | Allow Selecting Individual Zones When Uploading Seamless Background
When uploading a seamless background, a user can now select which zones the background is added to.
Bug CSL-84 | Carousel Player Crashes When Performing System Check
Fixed a bug where the player would crash when checking the Display subsystem due to a dependency that was not yet installed. The player now installs the missing dependency before it is possible to run the check.
Bug CSL-83 | Include .NET 4.5 Dependency In Installer
The Carousel installer and Windows player now include and install the Microsoft .NET 4.5 dependency.
Bug CSL-82 | Fix Permissions Issues When Player Installs Dependencies
The Carousel Windows player now requests Administrator privileges when executing dependency installers fixing several installation issues.
Bug CSL-100 | Copying Uploaded Video Bulletin Results In Broken Bulletin
Fixed an issue where copying an uploaded video bulletin would create a broken bulletin because the source video file was not copied along with the bulletin. The video file is now correctly copied when copying the bulletin.
Bug CSL-28 | Installer Incorrectly Migrates Non-Standard Media Location
Fixed an issue where the installer would incorrectly migrate the Media directory location stored in the database to the parent directory of the Media directory. This failed migration would be repeated each time the installer was run, causing corrupt bulletins with each install. The Media directory location is now migrated correctly, and is only migrated when first updating to Carousel 7.
Bug CSL-114 | Uploaded Full Screen Alerts Do Not Activate Alert Mode
Fixed an issue where uploaded video and image Full Screen Alerts did not trigger alert mode in a Full Screen Alert Zone. Alert mode is now correctly triggered when these bulletins are added to the zone.

March 21, 2017

Bug 10282 | Allow Uploading Interactive Bulletins
Interactive bulletins can now be uploaded using the Carousel user interface and will be hosted locally on the Carousel Server. It is important to note that only static files including HTML, CSS, and images are supported. All uploaded files are prohibited from executing on the server.
Bug 10278 | Carousel Services Uses Excessive Amounts of Memory When Starting
Fixed an issue where the Carousel service would use excessive amount of memory when starting potentially causing poor performance or system hangs. The issue was the result of leaking images while validating media sizes during startup. The service now ensures the objects do not get leaked resulting in acceptable memory use.
Bug 10279 | Bulletins Are Moved Out Of A Group After Editing
Fixed an issue where a bulletin would be moved outside of its group after editing.
Bug 10277 | Carousel Installer Crashes When Clicking Finished After Installation
Fixed an issue where installer would crash when clicking finished. This bug was introduced by a change to the installer user interface to confirm if a user wants to exit the installer when an installation is in progress. When already complete, the exit action would trigger an infinite loop causing the installer to crash. The installer now exits normally.
Bug 10293 | Standalone Carousel Player Installer Does Not Install Player Dependencies
As of Carousel 7.0 the Carousel Player installer is provided in the Carousel user interface to make it easier to commission new players without needing to contact Tightrope Media Systems for download keys. A common problem was that the provided installer does not contain any of the dependencies required. To address this we now host all the dependencies on the Carousel Server, and the Carousel Player will download the dependencies from the server and install them automatically when first starting.
Bug 10292 | Installer Appears To Hang When Downloading Some Dependencies
Improved the experience when the installer must download some dependencies including firmware for BrightSign players. The installer now indicates what dependencies it is downloading and provides a progress indicator.
Bug 10291 | Installer Fails When Installing Server on x86 Systems
Fixed a crash when running the Carousel installer on x86 systems due to scheduling an installer command that only is only present on x64 systems.
Bug 10289 | Installer Does Not Accept Command Line Arguments For Silent Installs
Fixed an issue where the installer was ignoring arguments for selecting the different components that could be installed preventing the installer from doing silent installs.
Bug 10288 | Installer Can Fail When Installing For The First Time
Fixed an issue where the Carousel installer could fail when installing for the first time. The error was due to a timing issue when creating new user accounts and then trying to set permissions using those accounts. If the accounts were not fully available, the install would fail then run correctly the second time. We now delay using the accounts to allow the operating system enough time to finish creating the accounts.
Bug 10287 | Channel Lists Are Not Sorted By Channel Name
Fixed several drop down lists where channels were sorted by an internal ID and not by the name of the channel.
Bug 10286 | Server Health Warning Fails To Go Away After Problem Is Corrected
Fixed an issue where certain failed health checks would prevent the user interface from checking the system health in the future. The user interface now continues to poll for the system health and will remove the warning message if the issue is corrected.
Bug 10285 | Installer Provides Poor Feedback When Dependency Installation Fails
When an installation fails the Carousel installer will now update the failure message to indicate which dependency has failed as well as the error message provided by the failing dependency.
Bug 10284 | Installer Supports Install SQL Server On x64 Operating Systems
Made several improvements to detecting and installing SQL Server dependency when installing Carousel Server. The installer now passes through installation status for SQL Server to provide a better experience when installing Carousel. Please note that the installer only supports installing SQL Server on x64 systems. If SQL Server is missing on x86 systems Carousel server installation will be disabled.
Bug 10283 | Configuration Files Are Removed When Upgrading
Fixed an issue where configuration files that contain SQL Server connection strings and Active Directory membership configuration were incorrectly removed during an uninstall or upgrade. The installer now leaves these files in place. Additionally the installer makes a backup of these files during an upgrade.
Bug 10295 | User Interface Will Error When Server Can Not Be Contacted
The Carousel user interface now periodically checks that it can still connect to the server and will indicate to the user when it is offline or the Carousel server cannot be reached.
Bug 10294 | Installers Always Attempt To Run SQL Scripts On Default SQL Configuration
Fixed an issue where the installer would always attempt to run SQL migration scripts on the default SQL server instead of respecting the actual system configuration for SQL. The installer now loads the system's SQL connection string configuration and runs the SQL migration scripts on the configured SQL server.
Bug 10299 | Carousel Is Difficult To Install Without an Internet Connection
This release makes available a new offline version of the installer that has all required dependencies within two large downloads. The Carousel 7 portion of the installer allows installing Carousel Server without an internet connection. A separate SQL Server.offline file is also required if installing server on a system without SQL server already installed. The new offline installer has proven to work well for upgrades but there are known issues when installing on a new system. Please see the Carousel 7 Installer Known Issues Knowledge Base: http://kb.trms.com/article/known-issues-with-carousel-7-installer-295.html

7.0.2

February 21, 2017

Bug 10248 | Media Uploads Do Not Respect Rotation Based on Camera Metadata
Carousel will now properly rotate media and bulletins based on the EXIF data contained in the image.
Bug 10247 | Carousel Always Defaults to a Crawl Zone When Logging In
Fixed an issue where a user's last zone selection was not being saved properly causing the user to always be redirected to a crawl zone when logging in. Carousel will now remember the last zone a user was working on and direct the user to that zone when logging in.
Bug 10246 | Uploader for Seamless Backgrounds Display Wrong Channel Dimensions
Fixed an issue where the uploader for seamless backgrounds would display the current zone's dimensions instead of the channel's dimensions. The uploader now displays the channel's dimensions.
Bug 10245 | Dynamic Bulletins With No Content Shown in Active Section of Manage Bulletins
Fixed an issue where RSS and Cablecast bulletins with not content would be displayed in the active section of manage bulletins even though they were not active on the zone. Bulletins with no content are now displayed in the Upcoming section of manage bulletins.‍
Bug 10244 | Saving a Template in a Zone With No Backgrounds Fails
Fixed an issue where saving a template in a zone with no backgrounds would fail. Templates will now use a generic solid background generated by the server if the zone contains no backgrounds.
Bug 10243 | Error Message When Browser Session Expires
Improved the experience when the browser session expires. Previously, a generic error message would be displayed to the user making it unclear what the problem was. Now the user will be specifically alerted when there login is expired and will be given the option to navigate to the login page.
Bug 10249 | User Interface Shows Zone as in Alert Mode Even If No Alerts Are Active
Fixed an issue where Carousel would consider deleted bulletins when determining if a zone was in alert mode. This could cause a zone to be marked as in alert mode incorrectly. Now only non-deleted bulletins are considered when determining alert mode.
Bug 10252 | Clone Tool Can Error When Importing Channels That Use the Same Media Multiple Times
Fixed an issue where the clone tool would incorrectly try to extract media to the same location multiple times causing an error when trying to import the channel. The clone tool now correctly determines conflicts and extracts the media to the correct path.
Bug 10251 | RSS Bulletins With Large Number of Pages Can Show Broken Image
Fixed an issue where the Carousel Renderer would delete the preview image for a bulletin when rendering it. This would cause the bulletin to appear broken until it was finished rendering. For bulletins with a large number of pages, this could take a noticeable amount of time. Carousel now updates the preview at the end of the render preventing a broken image.
Bug 10253 | Media Uploads Incorrectly Display a Success Message When a Media Upload Is Too Large
Fixed an issue where the user interface would incorrectly display a success message when an upload failed due to being larger than the servers maximum file upload size. The user interface now displays an error message informing the user that the file was too large.
Bug 10257 | Can Not Configure Custom Proxy
Fixed an issue where it was impossible to setup a custom proxy server for Carousel. The user interface incorrectly referred to a custom proxy as a manual proxy resulting in an error when trying to save the configuration. The user interface now correctly saves custom proxy configurations.
Bug 10255 | Database Script Can Add Objects to Wrong Schema
Fixed an issue where database objects such as stored procedures could be added to the wrong schema depending on the user account that ran the migration script. This would prevent Carousel from operating correctly. Objects are now added to the correct schema regardless of the account running the script.
Bug 10254 | Facebook Page Searches Are Not Sorted Correctly
Fixed an issue where Facebook page searches were incorrectly sorted by page category making it difficult to find the desired page in the search results. Search results are now correctly sorted by relevance.
Bug 10262 | Change Default for Text Outline in New Templates
Text outline is now disabled by default for new templates.
Bug 10263 | Remote Data Adapter Fails to Handle Picture Blocks
Fixed an issue with Remote Data Adapter (RDA) that was preventing picture blocks from being created or modified using UpdatePage and CreatePage commands.

Bug 10210 - Monitor Control Turns On and Off Repeatedly
At first we thought The Cheat was throwing a light switch rave with our monitors. After further investigation, it turns out it was just us moving the mouse. Whoops.
New 10211 - User Interface For Creating Webpage Snapshots
Want to show a web page in Carousel? Use the new webpage snapshot interface to select and crop just what you want the world to see and nothing else.
New 10212 - System Health Checks
Ever wonder how your Carousel server is feeling? Now you can ask with the new system health check! On top of giving you a menu to check on the details of the inner system workings, we'll also pop up an error if something really goes wrong.
Bug 10213 - Upload A ZIP of Images as Bulletins
Have a ZIP file full of images just waiting to see the world? Upload them directly in Carousel as new bulletins, we'll take care of the rest.
Bug 10214 - RSS Rendering Can Fail
We saw an issue where RSS feeds containing multiple line breaks would... break. Being the type of people who don't like it when things break, we fixed it.
Bug 10207 - RabbitMQ Installs Every Time
We were being a little too pushy with our check to make sure RabbitMQ was installed. Sorry about that, we'll give you some space.
Bug 10208 - Installer Closes Without A Prompt
The installer is now more considerate and politely asks you if you're sure you want to quit before exiting.
Bug 10209 - Some Facebook Images Don't Render
Sometimes we couldn't see images in Facebook bulletins, making for some odd conversation around invisible things. We tracked down the issue and placed an agent in charge of making sure it doesn't happen again. Crisis averted.
