We are working on the next release of the client. For now we have updated builds for the Windows client (x86 32/64bit) and a new OSX M1 build.
This build fixes a problem with the Windows client crashing during event playback.
This release fixes two reported crashes. Additionally this release adds support for creating a (free!) bluecherry.app domain and will generate Let's Encrypt SSL for you. The subdomain / Let's Encrypt process takes approximately 60 seconds to complete.
Watch our short YouTube video for information on this using this new feature.
Once you generate a Let's Encrypt SSL you can test out our Bluecherry App! Join us on Slack for a free invite on TestFlight (iOS) or our Android app.
Note - A Bluecherry perpetual license is required to use this feature, it is not avoid in the community edition.

As always you can download the client on our website, www.bluecherrydvr.com/downloads or run ‘sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install bluecherry-client’ on Ubuntu / Debian systems. Optionally you can build the latest client yourself by downloading the source code here (https://github.com/bluecherrydvr/bluecherry-client)
This release focuses on tracking orphan video / image files that are left over on the server taking up unnecessary space. When running 2.8.9 you may see the following in the bluecherry logs:
bc-server[21782]: I(): Initial media cleanup finished: removed(2122), archived(0), errors(23), others(0)
If you see an error in the log file it is safe to ignore this.
Note: This will be the last 2.8.9 server release. We will be releasing 3.1.0 release candidates starting May 24, 2021.
Customers that have an existing version 2 license can contact Bluecherry for a coupon code to upgrade to version 3 for 50% off.
Attention!
Due to a issue with Ubuntu 18.04 installing mysql-server-5.7 at the same time as the bluecherry 3.0.6 update the first upgrade will fail.
The preferred method is to run these commands:
sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.7 ; sudo apt-get install bluecherry
