What's New in 2.10
Welcome to FORXAI Video Vision 2.10!
Summary
This release brings significant improvements to the platform, focusing on enhanced user experience, better security, and more powerful features. Let's explore what's new!
See Hub section regarding introduction of new application serving as an entrypoint to whole UI.
Following major functions were added in this release:
- Enhanced security allowing us to define access to core functions of Forxai Video Vision platform based on user roles
- Documentation improvement where documentation was split based on application and user roles
- Dataset Management which allow users to create collections of images, integrated with Virtual image feeder which enables replacement of real device by streaming images from dataset instead
- External storage which enables storing reporting exports on defined SFTP servers
Review breaking changes introduced, to ensure smooth upgrade process from older versions:
See information about hotfix updates:
Hub introduction
We've made several improvements to the main application interface, most notably the introduction of the HUB — the new centralized core of the platform. The HUB brings together all components, tools, and services of the FVV system into one unified space. It dynamically shows only the modules and features available based on the installed version and the permissions of the logged-in user, with unauthorized content completely hidden.
Additional enhancements include:
- The Licenses page has been moved from the Builder to the HUB and now features a simplified activation process. It includes a unique fingerprint value used for secure license validation and for obtaining new licenses directly from the main interface. Learn more about license management
Major Features
Major features introduced in this release are described below. This release includes other changes related to fine-tuning FVV capabilities, bugfixes, UX and other improvements which are omitted in this article.
Enhanced Security and Access Control
We've strengthened our security features:
- More granular control over user permissions
- Improved role-based access control (RBAC) system
- Better security controls for different user roles
Documentation
We've expanded our documentation to better serve all users:
- Comprehensive platform documentation for FM and FVV.
- FM documentation is separated for different users (userdocs/techdocs/manufacturingdocs).
Datasets Management
Datasets have been added to the platform, along with new features for flexible data handling and integration.
- Enhanced dataset management in the HUB
- Required for Virtual Image Feeder: A dataset must be created and selected to simulate a video feed
- File upload restrictions: Only .jpg and .zip files are currently supported

External storage
External storage support has been added to the platform for exporting data.
- SFTP client support with username/password authentication
- Generated exports can be stored directly to a configured SFTP destination
- Note: Created SFTP clients cannot currently be updated
Virtual image feeder
We've introduced the Virtual Image Feeder, a new component that enables camera simulation using pre-recorded image sequences. This feature is ideal for testing, development, and demonstration scenarios where a physical camera is not available.
Key capabilities:
- Simulates a live camera feed using pre-recorded images from uploaded datasets
- Supports playback controls: Start, Stop, and Resume
- Allows users to adjust playback speed for flexible testing
- Seamlessly integrates with dataset management
- Enables consistent and repeatable testing without requiring physical camera hardware
Note: Images in the Virtual Image Feeder are played back in the order determined by their filenames. To control playback sequence, ensure your image files are named accordingly.
Other improvements
Other notable improvements are described below:
Workflow improvements
- Dynamic node configuration validation
- Settings are validated on each change
- Autosave feature: Node configuration changes are now automatically saved as temporary (work-in-progress) states, so you no longer need to confirm each change in node settings. However, the overall flow configuration still needs to be manually saved to apply all changes permanently.
- NOT node behavior update: The NOT node logic has been updated for better consistency. Previously, when no input was provided, the node would return True. Now it returns Nothing when no input is provided. If you have existing projects using the NOT node, please review your workflows to ensure they still function as expected with this change.
New reporting capabilities
- Send reports to external storage via SFTP
- Currently supports username/password authentication
- Store multiple images from one or different flows
- Learn about reporting features
Compatibility
The Video Vision platform was tested on Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS.
This version powers minor release of Forxai Mirror v2.6.0.
Breaking changes
Following breaking changes were identified:
Dynamic AI Model Node Backward Compatibility
There is a known backward compatibility issue with the Dynamic AI Model node in this release. Due to changes in its configuration, existing flows using this node may not function correctly after upgrading. To resolve this, please remap (reconfigure) the Dynamic AI Model node in your flows.
Changes in hotfix 2.10.1
Fixed unintended side-effect of performance upgrade that caused screen freeze in very specific circumstances.
This version powers hotfix release of Forxai Mirror v2.6.1.
