All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.
- Experimental Forward Error Correction feature for video streams.
- Mkv and Wav file player and recorders file I/O is tunneled through bctbx VFS API.
- See commits for details.
- API to change media encryption in the fly
- refactoring and simplifications for the MSOgl filter (video OpenGL rendering)
- video corruption when Android MediaCodec runs out of buffers.
- absence of dummy stun packets when DTLS is used with "encryption_mandatory" preventing DTLS handshare to take place
- Audio route API to choose which device to use for capture & playback on Android & iOS.
- New camera capture backend based on Windows MediaFoundation
- MSMediaPlayer enhancements.
- VideoConference API and engine prototype (active speaker switching only)
- audio flow control algorithm improved, silent portions are dropped first.
- MKVPlayer supports seek in files without cue table.
- 'packetlosspercentage' is now configurable in opus encoder.
- misfunction in DTLS handshake over TURN
- fix arythmetic issue in clock skew computation, causing bad audio when the sound device outputs audio fragments not multiple of 10ms.
- iOS AudioUnit configured with bad sample rate issue.
- wrong selection of ICE TURN candidates when the TURN server is behind a firewall
- unsent TURN SenderIndication packets on iOS

Split the libmediastreamer library in two libraries: libmediastreamer_base and libmediastreamer_voip. For VoIP support, both libraries must be linked to the executable.
-
API change to the audio_stream_new, video_stream_new, audio_stream_start_full, video_stream_start functions to use different addresses for RTP and RTCP.
