New release and important notice to avoid MediaStream deprecation issues in Chrome

Important Notice: Upgrade to version 1.0.15
As of Chrome 45, Google has deprecated some MediaStream properties and methods. EasyRTC’s beta branch was already consistent with these changes. As of version 1.0.15 we have now merged the beta branch into Master. If you are using an old copy of EasyRTC, your code will have errors when used on the latest browsers. Google has warned that new versions of Chrome will stop accepting the deprecated methods as soon as November 2015.
Please update your projects with EasyRTC v1.0.15 master branch immediately to avoid issues: https://github.com/priologic/easyrtc
See the Google Chrome team’s notice for more details on the deprecation: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/07/mediastream-deprecations?hl=en
