The Apache Software Foundation has announced the release of the Apache OpenMeetings 6.3 web conferencing server, which allows you to organize audio and video conferencing over the Web, as well as collaboration and messaging between participants. Both webinars with one speaker and conferences with an arbitrary number of participants simultaneously interacting with each other are supported. The project code is written in Java and distributed under the Apache 2.0 license.
Among the additional features: tools for integrating with a calendar-scheduler, sending individual or broadcast notifications and invitations, sharing files and documents, maintaining an address book of participants, keeping a record of an event, joint scheduling of tasks, broadcasting the output of launched applications (demonstration of screencasts), conducting polls and surveys.
One server can serve an arbitrary number of conferences held in separate virtual conference rooms and including its own set of participants. The server supports flexible permissions management tools and a powerful conference moderation system. Management and interaction of participants is carried out through a web-interface. MySQL and PostgreSQL can be used as a DBMS.
The new release focused on fixing bugs and preparing to migrate to JDK 17 (JRE 11 will be deprecated in the future and JRE 17 will become mandatory). Problems with work in new versions of the Safari browser are solved. The libraries supplied with the kit have been updated to the latest versions. Of the visible changes, the unification of dialogs for confirming operations was carried out.
