v0.1.5​

Release Date : 20th Feb 2025

Change Log :

1. Enhanced Meeting Connection Flow:​
  • The CONNECTED state will now trigger only after both WebSocket and media connections are successfully established, ensuring a more accurate meeting state. Previously, it was triggered upon WebSocket connection alone.
2. New RECONNECTING State:​
  • Introduced a RECONNECTING state that activates if the network connection is lost during a meeting. The SDK will automatically attempt to rejoin, improving reliability.
3. Simplified Disconnection States:​
  • The FAILED, CLOSING, and CLOSED states have been removed. All disconnection scenarios will now be handled by the DISCONNECTED state for a more streamlined experience.

Bug fix :

Change Log :

  • The SDK now supports a maximum frame rate of 30 FPS for screen sharing, providing a smoother user experience.

v0.0.87​

Release Date : 21st May 2024

Change Log :

  • The default value of the preferredProtocol property in initMeeting() has been changed to UDP_OVER_TCP. This means meetings will attempt to use UDP for faster data transfer, but will gracefully fallback to TCP if UDP encounters issues in your network environment.

  • A new option, TCP_ONLY, has been added to the preferredProtocol parameter of initMeeting(). This option allows you to force meetings to use the TCP protocol only. TCP prioritizes reliable data delivery over speed, making it ideal for networks prone to packet loss.

Bug fix :

  • Enhanced error handling to gracefully handle situations where the WebSocket is not available.
