Our focus for this release was to squash bugs while we work on some other exiting features that will be available in the coming months.

### **New Features**

📂 **Greater Control Over Channel Downloads** We’ve updated the download settings for Channels to provide more granular control. Administrators can now select exactly which download formats are offered: transcripts, podcasts (.mp3), vodcasts (.mp4), and media packages (.zip).

🗄 Archive Revisions Changes:This update introduces a 7-day retention period for Archive revisions. After 7 days, revisions will be automatically removed, freeing up storage space.

### **Fixes**

| Log Number | Application | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| MDST-3475 | Transcoder | Fixed the issue in the transcode service where AV lip sync was off after editing presentations created using Mediasite Capture. |
| MDST-3505 | Transcoder | Fixed an issue in the transcoder where MP4 files containing trailing padding bytes would fail to upload. |
| MDST-3474 | Video Platform | Improved AV synchronization in Mediasite Capture, addressing a slight delay that could occur when recording camera and desktop audio together. |
