Release notes for the most recent version are shown immediately below, followed by notes from prior releases in reverse chronological order.
2023.0.5 Release notes
Full version string: 2023.0.5.1674228055
Release Date: 2023.01.20
2023.0.5 New Features
Timestamps throughout the Portal can be shown in user local time or in UTC, based on the setting in the time format toggle accessed via the bottom of main menu. This menu also provides a link to the portal release notes from the version number.
If a user is publishing using a "legacy inline wildcard token" (which has been deprecated), a notice is shown on the Channel's Streams page. Users that see this notice should contact Phenix support for assistance in updating their publishing workflow.
The user can refresh the streams list of the Channel Streams page, by clicking on the refresh icon of the refresh bar. Likewise, the user can refresh the member’s list of the Room Members page by clicking on the refresh icon of the refresh bar.
While the user is creating a token in Portal, the token is automatically updated on every change, so the Generate button has been removed.

Full version string: 2022.2.3.1648675734
Release Date: 2022.03.30
2022.2.3 Enhancements
View VOD Assets
VOD assets can be viewed from the Publishing History tab when publishing is complete. The assets are not available (button is grayed out, as in the top line of the example shown below) while publishing is in progress, and are not viewable from the Portal UI when assets are protected by tokens (published using the token-auth capability).

Clicking the VOD button on the far right will show the option to play the VOD asset:

When selected, the Portal plays back the asset.
2022.2.3 Fixes
Numerous user experience enhancements (e.g., consistent margins) to provide a better user experience.
Removed duplicate entries in publish history.
The publish-uri capability is no longer included in the web publishing permalink/token when not needed. This will prevent web-based publishers from being able to switch between media and remote URI sources when accessed from the Publish > Web page. A future release will no longer support publish-uri through Web Channel entirely, as the preferred method is to use the API.

Full version string: 2021.7.1.1627956950
Release Date: 2021.08.02

Token creation for Rooms
Token creation and token debug are now available for Rooms as well as for Channels.
The UI for both Channels and Rooms has been improved to use SD as the default publishing quality to match the default quality used when publishing via the API.
The "token-auth" capability is now available in the list of capabilities listed in the UI for creating tokens from the portal. This capability is used for protecting streams with tokens.

Time format now shown in ISO format
When initially displayed, the local time is shown as Day Month Date Year followed by the 24-hour time and UTC offset, for example:
2021-07-29 15:47:56
On mouseover, the UTC time is shown in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS), for example:
Thu Jul 29 2021 08:47:56 GMT-0700
