daily-react
0.25.0
- Added support for multiple concurrent recording and live streaming instances.
useRecording()anduseLiveStreaming()now accept aninstanceIdparameter for per-instance state.

Stopping or erroring one instance no longer clears state for others. - Added
networkStatusto the return value ofuseNetwork(). - Added support for the
cloud-audio-onlyrecording type. - The daily-react version is now reported through daily-js via the new
aboutClientAPI, so it's included in call logs regardless of which library creates the call instance.
