Virtual Studio Release August 29, 2024

We have been hard at work on some exciting changes to Virtual Studio and SceneForge and those updates are headed your way!  

The upcoming planned maintenance window is scheduled for the morning of August 2, 2024. 

There should be no interruption in service. The only thing you should notice is that systems installed locally, i.e., Virtual Studio Media Server and SceneForge, should automatically detect that an update is available and prompt to install it.  At that point, the update can be installed immediately or deferred to be installed later.
