Release date: October 29, 2024

Client SDK

Bug Fixes
  • [LS1-2428] Fixed audio instability regression introduced in 1.21.2 affecting iOS and macOS devices, where users experienced audio artifacts or complete audio unavailability

Gateway

Bug Fixes
  • [LS1-2416] Fixed idle client detection regression introduced in 1.20.0 that could cause clients to be forcibly unregistered and close all of their connections. This issue manifested in Client SDK logs as "604::Client does not exist" errors

1.21.3.60993

Release date: October 21, 2024

Client SDK

Bug Fixes
  • [LS1-2358] [Web] Resolved intermittent WebSocket signaling disconnections on macOS Sequoia (15.0, 15.0.1) that caused unexpected client unregistration. Implemented client-side keep-alive mechanisms and increased Gateway signaling timeout to 15 seconds to prevent "604::Client does not exist" errors and unwanted connection drops. Applications using affected macOS versions should upgrade to ensure stable WebSocket connectivity.

1.21.2.60893

Release date: October 18, 2024

Client SDK

Improvements
  • [LS1-2075] [Examples] Updated .NET example to include data streams for SFU Downstream Conenctions.
  • [LS1-2046] [Examples] Updated example applications to support data streams for P2P connections.

  • [LS1-2220] [Media-over-WebSockets] Fixed an issue that prevented audio from flowing from a client when the audio encoder value was set to 1.
  • [LS1-2218] [Media-over-WebSockets] Fixed an issue that prevented video from flowing from a client when a configuration value outside the range of an unsigned long was used.
  • [LS1-2028] [Android] Fixed an issue that prevented older Android devices from streaming their camera content, specifically on a Samsung A9+.
  • [LS1-2094] [iOS] Fixed an issue that resulted in an iOS crash when trying to process frames after a connection was terminated.
  • [LS1-2024] [MacOS] Fixed an issue where a key used in a DTLS certificate is too short causing the certificate to fail.
  • [LS1-2035] [Media-over-WebSockets] Fixed a client bug such that now it only displays frames at the rate they are being sent rather than updating it at a fixed 30 fps.
  • [LS1-2034] [Media-over-WebSockets] Updated client to support dynamically changing the bitrate during a session.

Console

Bug Fixes
  • [LS1-2131] Fixed an issue that prevented a user from entering a 4-digit CCV on the Cloud Billing page.
