Release features vs beta features
Relay1.1.1 includes shipped features like the new home screen, startup file pinning, auto-save improvements, per-tab canvas sizing, and DiGiCo workflow upgrades.
Those are part of the main release track.
Beta features stay separate. In the current 1.1.1 cycle, the biggest example is the YouTube Live Stream Monitor, which should still be treated as test-only until it moves into the main release set.
Where beta shows up
- the
Betapage inRelay > Settings - beta-badged modules in the module catalog
- beta-only device or model support
- beta-gated automation graph features
- beta or debug-only wireless diagnostics controls
Current beta-sensitive areas
- NDI Feed remains a beta-sensitive module and should be validated on the real production network
- YouTube Live Stream Monitor is currently beta-only and should be tested with your real account, stream state, and dashboard persistence flow
- Shure and Live Transcription modules carry beta sensitivity in current builds
- Sennheiser module availability is limited to beta or debug builds
- beta-only Shure models include
ANX4,ADTD, andADTQ - graph features like
If / Else,Variable, and theVistadestination are beta-gated - text-module behavior and graph runtime behavior deserve extra validation in real-world testing
Beta tools in Settings
The Beta settings page currently includes:- wireless diagnostics upload to Sentry
- beta feedback submission
- verbose wireless logging toggles for Shure and Sennheiser families
- beta update visibility
Best practices
- isolate one beta variable at a time
- test with the real device or service involved
- validate behavior in both Canvas View and Live Mode
- keep a fallback plan before using beta workflows live
Reporting beta issues
When a beta feature behaves incorrectly, document the expected behavior, the actual behavior, reproducible steps, and any available logs or screenshots, then send the report tosupport@ondeckapps.com.
