BallroomDJ 4 : 4.17.5 released

Post by bll »

2025-11-24
4.17.5

MacOS: This release adds support for the pkgsrc and homebrew package managers.

I had changed the server (ballroomdj.org) configuration to try and mitigate the DDoS attacks coming from Tencent. This broke some functionality.
These changes have been reverted, and the support function and mobile marquee (internet mode) are working again.

Also note that forum registration has been fixed.

Automated tests were run on:
  • Linux
    • MX Linux 23 [Debian 12] (VLC3 and GStreamer)
    • MX Linux 25 [Debian 13] (VLC3 and GStreamer)
    • OpenSUSE Leap 15.6 (VLC3 and GStreamer)
  • MacOS
    • MacOS Sequoia (intel) (VLC3)
    • MacOS Tahoe (applesilicon) (VLC3)
  • Windows
    • Windows 10 (VLC3 and Windows Media Player)
Change Log: wiki: BDJ4 Change Log

MacOS users, be sure to run the version 23 pre-install script.
