Release Notes

element-hq/element-call (io.element.android:element-call-embedded)

v0.17.0

What's Changed

Version 0.17.0 is large leap in landing the MatrixRTC spec. It is contains all the implementation proves required for the spec process.

The main changes are:

• It is not yet leveraging all 2.0 improvements but implements all necessary parts to be compatible.
• It is fully compatible with v0.16.0 and behaves the same
• if someone sends 2.0 events and uses features like publishing there media on their own SFU, this version will still connect with those users

Additionally it brings a lot of bug fixes and cleanups!

There is a full refactor of the CallViewModel (a major part of the codebase), an SDK version, and all the Matrix 2.0 features that cover security, reliability and convenience.

It is important to note that this release does not use any of the new Matrix features and MatrixRTC changes by default. So it is a fully compatible version that can be updated. Since it is compatible it allows a comfortable transition because it is compatible with future versions that enable the new spec by default.
