Rivendell version 4, in development for more than two years, brings many &ldquo;under-the-hood&ldquo; as well as visible changes to the system. This list is incomplete, but attempts to highlight the most important changes. Please edit this page if you see something missing.

* <font style="color:red">Bug fix</font>: Many bugs have been fixed; many more have likely been introduced
* <font style="color:green">Functionality</font>: switch to graphical programming library [https://www.qt.io/ Qt] version [https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/ 5].
* <font style="color:green">Functionality</font>: new layout of the RDAirPlay window: You may now resize the RDAirPlay window; note however that RDAirPlay has a '''minimum size''' of 1310x870 pixels. RDAirPlay also received a revamped level metering system; the side effect of this is that the meters are now oriented vertically instead of horizontally
* <font style="color:green">Functionality</font>: the minimum supported display (monitor) size is 1680 x 1050 pixels; displays smaller than this may cause problems with some Rivendell applications
* <font style="color:green">Functionality</font>: the &lsquo;Edit Markers&rsquo; window has changed significantly; see the current manual for instructions on setting, changing, and deleting markers from Cuts
* <font style="color:green">Functionality</font>: Rivendell v4.x aims for full compatibility with MySQL 8.0 and earlier versions in their default installation configurations.
* <font style="color:green">Functionality</font>: RDPanel, as well as several windows within RDAdmin now allow for dynamic window sizing
* <font style="color:green">Functionality</font>: Date and time presentation formats can now be customized on the basis of site perferences.
* <font style="color:green">Functionality</font>: It is now possible to disable grid processing on a service-by-service basis, thus permitting a complete schedule to be generated by an external music scheduler. See the &lsquo;Bypassing Grid Processing&rsquo; section in the &lsquo;Generating Logs and Reports with RDLogManager&rsquo; section of the Operation Guide for details.
*  <font style="color:orange">Documentation</font>: The documentation has been edited and brought up to date with respect to the current code and functionality of the system
