WebRTC in action

  • Firefox 22 and Flash security updates
  • Fixed an issue whereby the installer would not show up on a small subset of machines
  • Upgraded to syslinux 6 which should make the boot experience slightly smoother
  • Re-introduced support for allowing popups via the prefs= API
  • prefs= API has been beefed up so you can practically script Firefox to do whatever you want using autoconfig files
  • Removed the proprietary Google talkplugin in favour of WebRTC e.g. https://talky.io/
  • ttf-liberation fonts are back to improve compatibility with Windows renderings

In other news we are working on a Webconverger Raspberry PI port, FINALLY! With the caveat that it will only be used in Web signage use cases (Neon!) and not as a kiosk browsing machine. We were recently interviewed about Neon if you want to learn more.

We also recently contributed a linux.com blog explaining the nuances that go into Webconverger, that make it the best Web kiosk software.

Please download the latest release and we would love to hear from you!
