Release date: March 5, 2022

Bug fixes
  • [LS1-371] Fixed a memory leak when network connectivity was lost in iOS and macOS native clients.
  • [LS1-459] Fixed a bug where a JavaScript client wasn't respecting the maximum bitrate requests from the server.
  • [LS1-492] Fixed a bug in Android AudioTrackSink where some audio frames weren't rendered properly, resulting in crackling or no sound.
  • [LS-6225] Fixed a bug that prevented proper Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) for Unity on Android.
  • [LS-6261] Fixed a bug in the Android build of the Unity example that prevented Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC).
