v0.1.12​
Release Date : 21st May 2024
Change Log :
-
The default value of the
preferredProtocol
property inMeetingProvider
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 ofMeetingProvider
. 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.
