About Greenlight
BigBlueButton's front door is in pure maintenance mode: security patches, gem bumps, translations.
Greenlight ships on a security-driven cadence rather than a feature one. The last four releases in the 3.8.2.x line are almost entirely gem updates, security backports and language file refreshes, with occasional small admin affordances like HTML in the maintenance banner or an env var to bypass host configuration. The one substantive batch in the window is 3.8.1's invitation flow work.
