Changelog #036 2022-12-23

Dec 23, 2022

In this release, we've made a number of performance and bug fixes across our products. Happy holidays!

Improved logging to include prejoin logs. Additionally, added new logs for identifying when multiple daily instances are connected simultaneously (multiple daily instances is unsupported and leads to unexpected issues).
Added server-side support for detecting and warning clients when they are using a daily-js version that is nearing end of support, unsupported, or nearing end of life. Additionally, added a means to reject a client from joining if using a version that is past end of life.
Improved screen-share error handling. Screen-share errors now include more detailed information about how and why the error occurred.
Fixed background-blur bug where a failure caused the processor to get stuck in a busy state.
Fixed for slower background-blur frame rate.
Added better logging around fatal errors and ejections.
Improved the error messaging in streaming/recording API to clarify the UUID requirement when an invalid ID is provided.
Turned off debug level logging in large calls.
Added back the logging for Highest-videoFrameSize.
Improved logging for debugging cases where users are ejected.

Bumped the version of react-native-webrtc to get various fixes for Samsung devices.

Improved the robustness of receiving and playing audio tracks in large meetings with many speakers.
Improved the visibility of the notification snackbar by ensuring that it always appears over the main call area.
Added a number of performance improvements that result in less CPU use and smoother scrolling through the participant bar when in Speaker View.
Fixed an issue where Safari on macOS would crash due to overscrolling the participant bar when in Speaker View.
Improved error handling for screen-share errors.

Improved stability of live streams and recordings by borrowing resources across regions if the current region is saturated.
Fixed a number of bugs including one where our HLS pipeline would hang when using a portrait layout.

Added the omitAudioOnly parameter that allows one to omit audio-only participants from the composition. Similar to what is possible with omitPausedVideo (omit participants that have their video paused).

Fixed an issue where turning on a virtual background would drop the frame rate to 11fps.
