A reminder that per our November, 2013 announcement, the Centova Cast v2.x branch is deprecated and will be discontinued just over 2 months from now on November 1, 2014. We strongly recommend upgrading to v3.0 as soon as possible.

What does this mean?

As of November 1, 2014 (one year from the date of our original deprecation announcement), the following policy changes will take place:

No further updates of any kind will be issued for Centova Cast v2.x. Bugs in v2.x reported after this date will not be fixed.
The Centova Technologies helpdesk will no longer provide technical support for Centova Cast v2.x.
Centova Technologies will no longer provide paid installation service or maintenance work involving Centova Cast v2.x (with the exception of performing migrations from v2.x to v3.0).
Product licenses for v2.x will be unaffected (specifically, leased licenses will remain active as long as they are paid, and owned licenses will remain active indefinitely); the product will simply be unmaintained and unsupported by Centova Technologies.

What should I do to prepare?

We strongly recommend that all clients upgrade to Centova Cast v3.0 as soon as possible to ensure the ongoing availability of product support and maintenance.

OpenSSL security vulnerability

April 08, 2014

A new build of Centova Cast's web server is now available, which fixes a critical security issue in OpenSSL. All users are strongly urged to update.

This update addresses a critical security issue (CVE-2014-0160) in OpenSSL. While this issue is not specific to Centova Cast (in fact, it affects a majority of the HTTPS/SSL web servers on the Internet), Centova Cast does use OpenSSL for its SSL functionality and thus is affected by this vulnerability. Accordingly, we have immediately issued a new build of Centova Cast's web server using a fixed version of OpenSSL (1.0.1g).

A more comprehensive knowledge base including many new Centova Cast v3-specific articles
An improved, easier-to-navigate online viewer for our product manuals
Integration of our newly acquired product lines into our current web site
Automatic price estimates for product purchases in GBP, EUR, MXN, and BRL based on the selected currency

Centova Cast v2.x End of Life

November 01, 2013

With the release of Centova Cast v3.0.5, we have made the decision to begin retiring the v2.x branch of Centova Cast. Effective immediately, the Centova Cast v2.x branch is officially deprecated and will be discontinued on November 1, 2014.

What does this mean?

As of November 1, 2014 (one year from the date of this announcement), the following policy changes will take place:

No further updates of any kind will be issued for Centova Cast v2.x. Bugs in v2.x reported after this date will not be fixed.
The Centova Technologies helpdesk will no longer provide technical support for Centova Cast v2.x.
Centova Technologies will no longer provide paid installation service or maintenance work involving Centova Cast v2.x (with the exception of performing migrations from v2.x to v3.0).
Product licenses for v2.x will be unaffected (specifically, leased licenses will remain active as long as they are paid, and owned licenses will remain active indefinitely); the product will simply be unmaintained and unsupported by Centova Technologies.

What should I do to prepare?

We strongly recommend that all clients upgrade to Centova Cast v3.0 as soon as possible to ensure the ongoing availability of product support and maintenance.

Questions?

If you have any questions about this end-of-life announcement, please don't hesitate to open a ticket with our helpdesk.

Centova Cast v2.2.8 Released

November 01, 2013

Centova Cast v2.2.8 is now available, which resolves a few bugs and adds support for the Google Maps v3 API.

The Google Maps v2 API, used by all prior versions of Centova Cast v2, will be discontinued by Google on November 19, 2013. At that time, the mapping features in Centova Cast versions prior to 2.2.8 will cease to operate and will likely return an error message.

This update adds support for the more modern Google Maps v3 API. All Centova Cast v2.x users who rely on Google Maps integration are advised to update prior to November 19 to avoid any interruption of service.

The full list of changes in this release includes:

Upgraded to Google Maps API v3
Fixed a glitch in which pie chargs may render incorrectly with some combinations of data
Fixed bug in which weekly playlists may not start on time under certain circumstances
Fixed bug in which general rotation playlists hours may be shifted based on time zone settings
