v0.1.12​

Release Date : 21st May 2024

Change Log :

  • The default value of the preferredProtocol property in MeetingProvider 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.

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