Release Notes Version 2.25
Executive summary:
In this release (2.25), we continue to maintain our 3-week release velocity, in order to support our clients, Ops teams and sales requests.
Apart from supporting key client & partner requests (Mountainwest, Viacom, Grabyo), we also ran a number of enhancements on clip-edit pages (scrubbing & navigation), clip ratings, clip thumbnail design, promo creation and also re-introduced bulk-clip edits (as a feature for further UAT); we also optimized queue handling for the various video processing tasks in the backend.
We also added minor enhancements to the filtering (tournament filters on stream/highlight pages), downloading clips from highlight with a single click and other process enhancements.
A major feature (rule based content generation) is in the works; and has been partially moved to production in this release; we target to complete this feature in the upcoming release.
I would like to thank the engineering (dev/QA), AI and program teams for all their efforts and acknowledge the continued guidance from our leadership in making our releases successful.
