Overview

daily-js upgrades its precall method to allow for easier and more accurate network performance estimates before joining a call. Also, daily-js and react-native-daily-js both add early support to build with multiple call instances. Lastly, dial-in and dial-out support more capabilities.

daily-js

0.67.0

Pre-beta: Multiple call instances

We've added pre-beta support for using multiple call instances within the same browser window context. You can opt-in to using this feature by setting allowMultipleCallInstances to true in your Daily constructor properties.

New precall test method

The new testCallQuality() method allows you assess a client's network performance before joining a call. The results returned by this test provide a measurement of the available outgoing bitrate, packet loss, latency, and round trip time. These values provide information to set appropriate send settings before a user joins their call. To learn more about this method, check out the docs.

0.66.0

Bugfixes

  • Fixed an issue where the call machine was not loading inside webviews on iOS 16.
  • Improved handling of an underlying Chrome bug with regards to screensharing. We have witnessed issues when sharing a tab with audio on Chrome where the audio track will end when switching which tab is shared using Chrome’s built-in “Share this tab instead” button. Previously, when this happened we would end the screenshare. Now, we will send a nonfatal-error (see example below) but will not end the screenshare so that video can continue. However, a user will have to restart the screenshare in order to recover audio. We have filed an issue with Chromium.

react-native-daily-js

0.65.0

Pre-beta: Multiple call instances

We've added pre-beta support for using multiple call instances within the same browser window context. You can opt-in to using this feature by setting allowMultipleCallInstances to true in your Daily constructor properties.

daily-android

0.21.0

Advanced firewall controls

daily-android now supports an IP proxy and the ability to override Daily's TURN servers with your own. These new features will help customers who have users in a locked down network environment. Rather than provide an extensive allow list, these new features can help simplify the network requirements for your customers' environment.

daily-python

0.10.0, 0.10.1

Release notes

These releases contain a few small features and bugfixes. For more information, check out the release notes.

daily-react

0.19.1

Bugfixes

  • useParticipantIds(): when using a custom filter or sort it was possible that useParticipantIds() would return stale state until a participant-updated event was emitted.
  • useActiveSpeakerId(): the internally stored id of the last active speaker is now correctly reset when receiving a left-meeting event.
  • useParticipantProperty(): when embedding a Daily React app inside Angular's NgZone, attempting to resolve a MediaStreamTrack property could result in a recursive loop, due to NgZone's monkey-patching behavior on certain browser objects.

Daily Prebuilt

Improvements and fixes

  • Improved the handling of audio when receiving an incoming call for iOS 16 users.
  • Fixed an issue where raising and lowering hands wasn't immediately visible in the UI.
  • Fixed an issue where the call machine was not loading inside the webview on iOS 16.

Media Services

Dial-in & Dial-out

  • Added domain config pin_dialin,which allows assigning phone numbers for pin dial-in.
  • Added the /release-phone-number/:id endpoint to delete a purchased phone number.
  • Added a new dialout-answered event, which is emitted when a call is answered.

VCS

  • Added more audio-specific options for the VCS simulator (make audio-only participant dominant, and associate with screenshare track)
  • VCS baseline composition bug fixes for audio-only participants with the dominant flag set (i.e. active speaker): dominant mode + preferScreenshare now works as expected
  • Fixed the inconsistent behavior with preferScreenshare when in grid mode and the VCS baseline comp param videoSettings.grid.useDominantForSharing is enabled
  • New VCS param 'videoSettings.pip.includeWebFrame' allows WebFrame content to be automatically included as the primary content in the pip (picture-in-picture) layout mode

Batch processor

  • Batch processor returns a specific error if input audio is silent
  • Batch processor now uses the remux-mp4 operation to process recordings over 2GB in size

Additional

  • Fixed an issue where the /meetings REST endpoint no longer returned info for deleted rooms if the request included a room name.
  • The oldest supported version of daily-js is now 0.57.0.
