0.57.3

Bugfixes

• Fixed non-fatal error with Chrome version 121.

0.57.2

Bugfixes

• Fixed issues with testConnectionQuality() and testPeerToPeerCallQuality() on Firefox. These fixes also fixed missing data in getNetworkStats() on Firefox.

0.57.1

Bugfixes

• Fixed the Types returned by the new testPeerToPeerCallQuality() method.

0.57.0

Features

• 📣 ☎️  Introduced support for SIP/PSTN dial out. Check out the documentation here!
• Video processing is no longer beta 🎉
• Video processing is now supported on Safari.
• Introduced a new local-screen-share-canceled event to indicate when a user cancels out of the browser’s screen sharing dialog (only works on Chrome)
• Added availableOutgoingBitrate to getNetworkStats() and metrics
• ⚠️ Deprecated testConnectionQuality(), renaming it totestPeerToPeerCallQuality() in preparation for a new and preferred pre-call test function, testCallQuality(). (testCallQuality() is in pre-beta and not ready for public use.)

Bugfixes

• Fixed logging of duplicate call object detection to ensure it reaches the logging endpoint.
• updateWaitingParticipants() failures will no longer error out the meeting
• Corrected TypeScript definition for layout.participants in streaming / recording
• Fixed breakage in ability to run apps from file: URLs
• Corrected TypeScript definition for events to include local-audio-level and remote-participants-audio-level events.

Other improvements

• Fixed npm packaging to correctly show the open source license (bsd-2)
• Updated “Something is amiss” fatal errors to be more informative
• Disabled overly sensitive auto-shutoff-cam-processor-on-high-cpu mechanism
• Updated generic “Error during call” fatal errors to provide more informative messages about what actually went wrong
• Added estimated bandwidth capacity, bandwidth measurement, and averages along with other underlying improvements to the testPeerToPeerCallQuality() pre-call function.
• Added support for providing custom background images to the video processor via an ArrayBuffer

0.56.0

Features

• Switched to a new video background blur/background replacement system. There’s no change to the existing updateInputsSettings() API.
• Added support for the new auto_start_transcription meeting token setting.
• Added a transcription-message event, simplifying receiving transcriptions. Previously, the only way would be to listen for app-message events from the sender 'transcription' (this approach still works).

Bugfixes

• Fix some insecure window.postMessage() calls.
• Fix bug breaking echo cancellation in Firefox >= 116.

Other improvements

• Added logging to allow better tracking of various join time actions.
• ⚠️ Breaking change: remove support for the detect_language transcription option, as it's not supported for real-time transcriptions. This change will require you to remove detect_language to use this version of daily-js.
• ⚠️ Breaking change: remove daily-js-provided transcription settings defaults, instead relying on the transcription service’s defaults. This allows the users to set only the settings they need without interference from our default settings. This is useful, for example, in the case of the nova-2 model, where a user should only need to specify the model without having to specify anything else. Since this change may alter your exact transcription settings, please double-check transcription behavior when migrating to this version of daily-js.
• Add support for punctuate and endpointing transcription parameters. Also adding support for an extra object which can be used to specify additional transcription properties.
• Silence annoying console errors when you leave() or destroy() your call object before you join().

0.55.1

Bugfixes

• Fixed issue with 0.55.0 npm package missing artifacts, including the typeScript definition.

0.55.0

Features

• Return transcriptId in the transcription-started event.
  • This transcriptId can be used to query transcription via REST APIs.
• Integrated Sentry for specific tracking of connection issues.
• Introduced the new method meetingSessionSummary() as a replacement for getMeetingSession() and event meeting-session-summary-updated as a replacement for meeting-session-updated.
  • These updates allow us to align the naming with other functionality, like meetingSessionState() as well as update the signatures to be more developer friendly.
  • Session summary info is now cached so that querying it is not an asynchronous operation and can be called at any time.
    • If called prior to ever joining a call, it will return an empty object.
    • If called after leaving but before any new call state updates (like preAuth'ing or joining a new call), it will return the previous session's summary.
• Deprecated getMeetingSession() in favor of meetingSessionSummary().
• Deprecated meeting-session-updated in favor of meeting-session-summary-updated.

Bugfixes

• Trigger the transcription-error event if a meeting is moved while transcribing.
• Included the missing production environment in Sentry for tracking issues.

Other improvements

• Updated the name from DailyIframe to Daily.
• Improved the logic for triggering the cpu-load-change event based on scheduleDuration.
  • It now requires multiple schedule duration misses before triggering the event.
• Implemented optimizations to remove redundant information from metrics.
• Removed functionalities that had been deprecated for over a year:
  • Removed deprecated setInputDevices(); use replacement setInputDevicesAsync().
  • Removed deprecated setOutputDevice(); use replacement setOutputDeviceAsync().
• Add missing error type: 'ejected' to the meeting error thrown when a room is deleted out from under a user.
• Updated the redact transcription to support Array<boolean>. This allows [true] as a valid value.

0.54.0

Features

• Added network round trip time to getNetworkStats(). See networkRoundtripTime and averageNetworkRoundTripTime in docs

Bugfixes

• Fixed missing per-stream metrics on latest Safari
• Fixed issue with automatic device switching (on plugging in a new headset, say) a custom track was previously being used
• Fixed various issues related to calling things like sendAppMessage() prior to joining a call by either performing no-ops or throwing an error to indicate the call was done too early rather than getting cryptic console errors like null is not an object
• Fix some meeting move log messages.
• Fixed return type of getCallInstance()

Other improvements

• Update metrics rid reporting to work on Safari and Firefox
• Changed logging message when requested track differed from preferred track on the SFU. Now we log both the preferred and the requested in the same log line.
• Upgraded dependencies to resolve security threats

0.53.0

Features

• Implemented the byRemoteRequest off reason for screen track representations in the participants() objects.

Bugfixes

• Fixes on the client side to eliminate confusing logs & unnecessary calls to the server related to preferred received spatial layers.
• Fixed an occasional bug where after a meeting move a client could be stuck not hearing or seeing anyone.
• Fixed an issue causing outbound metrics to go missing after SFU reconnects.

Other improvements

• Added a log line indicating that a mediasoup video consumer started with a given preferred simulcast layer.
• The updateInputSettings() audio processor type of noise-cancellation is now generally available. The console warning indicating that this feature is in beta has been removed.
• Mark the startTranscription() detect_language property as deprecated.
• Mark the setInputDevices() and setOutputDevice() methods as deprecated. Replaced by setInputDevicesAsync() and setOutputDeviceAsync(), respectively.
• Mark the screenSimulcastEncodings property as deprecated. Replaced by the sendSettings DailyCallOption.
• Ease up a bit on the aggressive timeout when trying to start video processor.
• Lots of improvements to the metrics reported from the /logs endpoint, including:
  • Added lots of new stats, like roundTripTimeMax/roundTripTimeMin and all new LastValue stats for some metrics to report the most recent value.
  • Improved the packetLoss calculations to report packetLoss more accurately.
  • packetsLostPct is deprecated and replaced by packetLossPctAvg.
  • New values have been added which provide a more information about packet loss: packetLossPctMax, packetLossPctMin, and packetLossPctLastValue.
  • Improved accuracy of metrics around times when metrics aren't reported.

0.52.0

Features

• Added the ability to remotely stop a participant's screen share.

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug in Windows where if your cam is in use by another app your mic track never becomes playable.
• Fixed an issue where leave() or destroy() would fail if called between a load() and one of startCamera(), preAuth(), or join().
• Worked around a Chromium bug where, when you had the default mic selected in Daily, changing the default mic through OS settings wouldn't result in your actual mic input changing.
• Fixed an issue where your mic could seemingly get stuck in the unmuted state when there was a dial-in participant.
• Fixed an issue where if a client selected their default microphone, we would store the specific device in a cookie and lose the “default” specifier, resulting in always preferring that specific device rather than the default. For example, we would save "MacBook Pro Microphone (Built-in)" instead of "Default - MacBook Pro Microphone (Built-in)".
• Fixed a Firefox issue where toggling your camera off and on would cause remote participants to only receive your lowest simulcast layer from then on.
• Fixed issue preventing admins with hidden presence from being able to mute or eject participants.

Other improvements

• Eliminated 2 internal calls to Daily servers during call join in order to decrease the time to join a call.
