Showcase Release Notes

Release notes for different Showcase versions are shown below.

Showcase 26.05

Released May 2026

Showcase 26.05 combines new authoring capability with a round of editor fixes and the operational improvements from the preceding point release: a new PIN Lock operator for gating widget actions and screensaver unlock, restored editor behaviour (slot-aware widget filtering, in-pane schedule binding, Widget Group tint indicators, and the Codice behaviour operators), an auth fix for sessions on plain-HTTP deployments, an import-pipeline fix so connected players pick up imported content immediately, a bucket-driven Demo Apps tab, a latch-group reset slot, an editor colour-save fix, a rebuilt Defaults page, and a built-in test fixture suite.

PIN Lock operator

Authors can now gate any widget action behind a PIN challenge. Add the new PIN Lock behaviour operator to a button or hotspot and the widget's action will only fire if the presenter enters the correct PIN.

PINs are managed centrally as Named PIN Groups under Defaults — give each group a name (e.g. "Admin", "Kiosk Override") and a 4-to-8 digit PIN. Operators reference the group by name, so updating a PIN once applies wherever the group is used. Alternatively, set a one-off Custom PIN directly on the operator if a group is not needed.

The PIN Lock operator has two trigger modes: On Action intercepts the widget's tap and shows the PIN dialog before the action fires; On Appear hides the widget entirely until the correct PIN is entered. A third attachment point, Menu Access Gate, locks the press-and-hold gesture that opens menus from the Menu Layer.

The existing screensaver Screen Lock now supports the same PIN Groups and accepts 4-to-8 digit PINs (previously fixed at 4 digits). Existing screensaver configurations keep working without changes.

Latch group reset slot

Widget Groups in latch logic mode lock HIGH on first activation and hold every trigger child HIGH until all of them go LOW again. With nothing to drive the children back down, a latch group could stick HIGH with no clean way to release it.

A new Resets slot now sits between Triggers and Outputs on a Widget Group. A button placed in the Resets slot clears the group on its next press: the latch releases, sequence progress resets, trigger children and the group signal return to LOW, outputs hide, and the reset button re-arms. Together with the Triggers slot this gives a full set/reset latch. Reset buttons stay visible at all times and are not counted in the group's logic evaluation.

Editor fixes and polish

The widget editor now correctly filters available widgets when adding to a slot, so the "Add widget" dialog only offers widgets that are valid for the slot you are filling.

Schedule binding is back inside the widget's properties pane. The Schedule picker on widgets like Browser, Book, and Image-movie lists every event from every schedule and binds the chosen event to the widget — no more navigating to the Schedules page to attach a schedule. A "+ Manage schedules…" entry jumps to the Schedules page when you need to create or edit events.

The Widget Group active/inactive tint indicator is restored. Set Active tint and Inactive tint on a group, and every child hotspot's visualisation glows in the chosen colour when its signal goes HIGH or LOW. Per-widget High tint / Low tint overrides still take precedence over the group default.

The eight Codice Behaviour operators (Scenario Load, Volume, Admin Override, Widget Trigger, Scrubber, Pen Palette, Spotlight, Loupe) now register cleanly in the editor and can be added from the Behaviour Operators slot. They take no per-instance configuration — all behaviour is driven by the Codice marker's service config.

Smaller editor polish: every slot now surfaces in the Slots section of a widget's properties pane; signal-name, condition-signal, and counter-target inputs autocomplete from names already declared in the structure; content-boundaries, marker-filters, and code-filter inputs validate their formats live; codice-lottery win-chance is now a 0–1 slider; sparkles can be placed on overlay and screensaver layers in addition to background; and the text-style drop-shadow-offset attribute uses the vector editor.

The Defaults page has been rebuilt as a single scrolling, by-type list of every component and its attributes, so authors can see the full set of out-of-the-box defaults at a glance. Any value you have customised away from the system default is shown in bold, and a table-of-contents sidebar jumps to each component. Typing the system default back into a field clears your override.

Two editor "+ Create new…" pickers (content sets and shared components) now open the new item's own edit page so you can configure it before it is bound, then return you to the structure with the binding applied — instead of silently creating an empty, unconfigurable entity inline. The Opening animation picker on finger menus, rotating menus and Codice content again lists the built-in Stars and Circular progress animations on fresh installs (these were missing after the server rewrite).

The Codice DB page columns are now resizable — drag the separators to widen the code list or the detail panel, and the widths are remembered for your session.

Editor colour edits now apply on the player

Colour attributes set in the editor — tints, background colour, foreground colour, Awesome BG colours and similar — could silently revert to the widget's built-in default on the player, even though the editor showed the saved value. Named and hex colours that happened to be stored in a player-compatible format were unaffected, which is why the problem appeared intermittent.

The editor now saves every colour in a single canonical rgba() form that the player parses reliably, and the player also normalises any colour stored in the older space-separated format on load, so existing content picks up its correct colours without re-saving or migration.

A related fix stops the editor showing a blank white page after a server update: stale cached asset requests now return a clean error instead of a broken page load, and the editor's main page is no longer cacheable by intermediate proxies.

Login sessions persist across inactivity on HTTP deployments

The refresh-token and CSRF-token cookies set on /api/auth/login and /api/auth/refresh had the Secure flag hardcoded. Browsers silently drop Set-Cookie headers with Secure when the response is over plain HTTP, so any showcase server install reached on http://host without a TLS-terminating proxy returned a 200-OK login but the cookies never reached the browser. The user's 15-minute access token kept them logged in until it expired, then /api/auth/refresh returned 401 (no refresh cookie in the request) and the editor showed "Your session has expired". The effect looked like an aggressive idle timeout.

The Secure flag is now controlled by the new COOKIE_SECURE environment variable on the api server, default true (correct for production deployments behind TLS). HTTP-only deployments opt out by setting COOKIE_SECURE=false:

# /etc/systemd/system/mt-showcase-server.service.d/cookie.conf
[Service]
Environment=COOKIE_SECURE=false

After applying, sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl restart mt-showcase-server. Symptoms of the bug present in the database: the refresh_tokens table accumulates rows from successive re-logins (one per login) with empty parent_id columns, and audit_log shows zero refresh.token_reuse events — silent refresh never reached the rotation logic.

This release also hardens two editor security touch-points: the SSO provider configuration form no longer lets the browser autofill an administrator's saved login credentials into the provider fields, and the Revoke all sessions control's description now matches its actual behaviour — revoking immediately invalidates every active session rather than letting existing tokens run out their window.

Connected players pick up imported content immediately

Importing a .showcase archive now propagates to connected C++ players in the same session: imported run-configs become launchable from the dashboard immediately, no player restart needed.

Previously the import handler fired a single blanket "something changed in the run_configs table" event after commit. The player resolves every event by id, and the placeholder id used in that event resolved to nothing — so newly-imported run-configs stayed invisible to the player until the next process restart. Launching such a run-config from the dashboard silently fell back to the Blank Screen with no error surfaced. The fix replays the importer's actual inserted IDs as per-id added / changed events after commit; the player's existing live-edit handlers pick them up.

Logic-group stability fix

Structures that drive widgets through Widget Group logic gates (signals creating and removing child widgets on every HIGH/LOW cycle) could gradually slow down and, after a sustained burst of activity, stop responding for several seconds at a time. The player now cleans up per-child logic state correctly as children come and go, so logic-heavy structures stay responsive over long sessions.

Editor Demo Apps tab now reflects the bucket contents

Import & Export → Demo Apps in the editor now lists whatever is currently in the public showcase-downloads bucket, not a hand-maintained catalog file. Adding or removing a demo archive in r2:showcase-downloads/demo-apps/ propagates to every editor's Demo Apps tab within five minutes (proxy cache TTL), with no code edit, package upgrade, or service restart required.

The previous server/demo-apps.json catalog file is no longer consulted. Deployments that customised it should move their entries into the bucket itself.

Built-in test fixture suite

A built-in test fixture suite ships with this release. Seven small .showcase archives exercise the structural features of the editor and player side-by-side, with no external assets:

Fixture	What it exercises
Testing - Logic Group Demo	Six widget-group logic-mode columns (none, and, or, exclusive, sequence, latch) with three hotspots and per-group output widget each.
Testing - Signal Routing Demo	signal-name publication and condition-signal + condition-value gating, HIGH and LOW, across toggle / timed / hold trigger-modes.
Testing - Behaviour Decorations Demo	snap-to-angle at three division densities plus close-after-idle with content-boundaries.
Testing - Schedules Demo	widget-event recurrence variants — one-shot, daily, weekly MWF, weekly all.
Testing - Launcher Menus Demo	content-hotspot launching floating-menu and rotating-menu via the content-widget-relative slot, three content-opening-duration values.
Testing - Teaser Animations Demo	menu-teaser-launcher + teaser-operator (wrap, bounce) and animated-content + fader-operator (fade/scale on-off, corners-only).
Testing - Screensaver Demo	screensaver overlay, screensaver-trigger, screen-lock with unlock-method documented for pin / codice / user-choice.

A combined Testing - All Showcase Demos archive is also published — importing it once creates all seven run-configs in one transaction, useful for seeding a fresh server or a QA station. All eight archives appear in the editor's Import & Export → Demo Apps tab.

Showcase 26.4.1

Released on May 2026

New server

Showcase 26.4.1 ships a completely new server, rewritten from the ground up in TypeScript/Node.js (Fastify). The Ruby server used in 1.14.x has been replaced.

The key operational change for most deployments: PostgreSQL is no longer required. The new server uses SQLite, which runs in-process — there is no separate database service to install, configure, or manage. App data migrates automatically on first boot; no manual steps are required.

The new server is also the foundation for the authentication, analytics, and access-control capabilities described below.

New editor

The Showcase editor has been rewritten in React with a touch-first design throughout: 48 px tap targets, no hover-only interactions. It is functionally equivalent to the 1.14 editor with the following additions visible to authors:

• Media library — tree navigation, thumbnail previews, drag-and-drop upload, full-text search
• Live inputs — a Live Inputs folder in the Media panel exposes connected video device feeds from the C++ player; drag them into structures like any other asset
• Schedule management — full schedule CRUD in the browser
• Content Sets — named asset collections that can be authored, reordered, and assigned to Personal markers or content nodes; full CRUD with drag-reorder
• Widget Library — shared components importable across apps, with provenance tracking and cascade delete
• Defaults management — per-theme default attribute values editable in the browser
• Analytics dashboard — see Analytics and data gathering below
• Codice marker management — see Codice marker system below
• Import / export — embedded assets, WebSocket progress bar, demo app catalog, per-category import preview, archive versioning (see Import and export below)

Authentication and access control

Showcase 26.04.1 replaces the legacy single shared-password Basic Auth with per-user accounts and a five-role RBAC model (admin, author, presenter, front_desk, viewer). A first-boot setup wizard guides operators through creating the first admin on both fresh installs and upgrades from 1.14.x.

The admin UI gains a Users page (invite, role/status edit, unlock), a Security Settings page (TOTP toggle, lockout thresholds, fleet revocation), an Audit Log viewer, and SSO provider management for both OIDC and SAML. Day-to-day login flows now support password + JWT sessions with rotating refresh tokens, optional TOTP 2FA, magic-link login, password reset, and admin-issued invites — all with uniform success responses to prevent email-address enumeration. Front desk users see a stripped editor limited to MOTD / lunch menu / welcome / banner text-content widgets.

Operators get a new showcase-server CLI with subcommands for the recovery paths that should never depend on a working browser session: users:create-admin, users:reset-password, users:disable, users:enable, users:unlock, and keys:rotate-signing. Every CLI action writes an audit_log row tagged actor_ip='cli'. Full operator setup, env-var, SSO, TOTP, lockout, and fleet-revocation reference lives in Upgrading to 26.4.1.

User roles at a glance:

Role	What they can do
admin	Full editor plus admin portal — manages users, SSO, TOTP, security settings
author	Full editor — creates and edits all content
presenter	Library and launch view only — cannot author, can launch showcases
front_desk	Stripped editor — text-content widgets only (MOTD, lunch menu, welcome, banners)
viewer	Read-only access

License wizard

A new first-run licensing wizard guides operators through license activation on a fresh installation, replacing the manual file-copy workflow from 1.14. Existing licensed installations are unaffected on upgrade.

Analytics and data gathering

A new analytics subsystem captures visitor interactions and surfaces them in the editor's Analytics tab.

What is tracked:

• Widget lifecycle events — widget created, destroyed, asset loaded, PDF page viewed, video start/end, URL changed
• Visitor interactions — content added to or removed from personal space, widget emailed, object contact (touch down/up)
• Session bookends — device sessions (player connection lifetime) and app sessions (per app run)

Visitor identity: Showcase uses four identity tiers — registered visitors (Personal marker), unregistered guests (Guest Pool marker), employees/demo staff (Employee marker), and anonymous touch. Events are associated with the appropriate tier automatically.

Screen-side and location tracking: Showcase uses orientation, screen-side clustering, and spatial proximity heuristics to group touch events by individual visitor even without a registered marker. This allows per-visitor interaction timelines to be reconstructed from anonymous touch data for post-event analysis.

Analytics dashboard tabs:

• Leads — visitor list with expandable interaction history per lead; staff-flag toggle to exclude demo staff from reports
• Sessions — session list with expandable event timeline
• Content — per-widget and per-asset interaction counts and frequency breakdown
• Export — CSV download for leads, events, and sessions

Webhook delivery: Configure an outbound webhook (URL, optional auth header) to stream events to a CRM or marketing automation platform in real time. Includes a test-fire button.

Codice marker system

The Codice marker system has been completely redesigned. The editor gains a new three-pane Codice DB interface (type list → codes → detail form), replacing the previous single-list view. Markers can be scoped globally or per-app, with collision detection preventing duplicate code assignments.

Eleven marker types are now supported:

Marker	What it does
Widget Trigger	Places a marker that activates one or more widgets. Configurable as global or app-local scope; one-shot or hold mode.
Personal	Identity marker — stores visitor name, email, optional PIN, companion URL, and an asset repository backed by a Content Set. Enables personalised content delivery.
Eraser	Erases annotations within a configurable rectangular or circular footprint.
Volume Controller	Controls audio level by rotating the marker — rotation angle maps to output volume.
Admin Override	Restores full admin toolbar on a specific widget, scoped to that widget only.
Dial / Scrubber	Scrubs media with X-axis movement; adjusts playback speed with rotation.
Loupe / Magnifier	Renders a circular magnified view of the content beneath the marker using shader-based magnification.
Spotlight / Reveal	Dims the entire display except a circular area around the marker, drawing attention to a focal point.
Pen Palette	Controls annotation tool colour — rotation maps to hue, X/Y position maps to brightness and saturation.
Scenario / App Load	Loads a specified content set or run configuration; supports exclusionary lock so only one scenario is active at a time.
Guest Pool	Provides a pool of visitor registration codes. Accepts range expressions (e.g. 1,5,10-100,200) and optionally treats unknown codes as new guest registrations.

Signal system and logic gates

Widgets can now emit and receive named signals, enabling rule-based interactivity across the structure tree without scripting.

• Any widget can be configured as a signal source (emits HIGH/LOW when a condition is met) or a signal target (changes state when it receives a signal)
• AND, OR, and NOT logic gates combine multiple input signals into a single output — for example, show a widget only when two other widgets are both active
• Configurable tints — each gate output can apply a colour tint when HIGH, allowing visual feedback alongside the state change
• Exclusive HIGH (radio mode) — a logic group can be configured so that only one child can be HIGH at a time, implementing radio-button-style exclusivity across widgets
• Counter widget — tap-to-increment counter with a configurable target value; emits a signal when the target is reached

New and updated widget types

New widgets:

• Loupe — displays a circular magnified view of the scene beneath the widget; zoom level is configurable
• Spotlight — a shader-based dark overlay with a circular cutout; focus the audience's attention on a specific area of the display
• Widget groups — organise widgets into named groups in the structure tree; collapse/expand for cleaner authoring; groups can expose a signal output driven by child state

Updated widgets:

• Browser widget — new transparent background attribute; loading spinner overlay during page load
• Input Visualizer — size and location are now configurable for all user roles; defaults to full-screen

Player updates

• Presentation mode toolbar — a restart button is now available in the presentation mode overlay, allowing the active app to be reset without leaving presentation mode
• Not-configured splash screen — when no app is running, the player displays all available IPv4 addresses to simplify first-time connection, replacing the previous blank screen
• Port conflict detection — the player surfaces a specific error if its configured port is already in use, rather than silently failing
• Widget clone naming — cloned widgets now use Windows-style (1) numbering instead of "Copy of"

Import and export

• Progress indicator — a live progress bar (via WebSocket) is shown during both import and export of large apps
• Demo app catalog — a built-in catalog allows demo apps to be imported directly from a server URL, without manually transferring archive files
• Per-category import preview — the import wizard shows a per-category breakdown and allows individual categories to be deselected before importing
• Archive versioning — exported archives now carry a version field; importing an archive from a newer Showcase version is detected and handled gracefully
