WebRTC M70 Release Notes


WebRTC M70 branch (cut at r24472)

Summary


WebRTC M70, currently available in Chrome's beta channel and as native libraries for Android and iOS, contains over 15 new features and over 55 bug fixes, enhancements and stability/performance improvements. As with previous releases, we encourage all developers to run versions of Chrome on the Canary, Dev, and Beta channels frequently and quickly report any issues found. Please take a look at this page, for some pointers on how to file a good bug report. The help we have received has been invaluable!


The Chrome release schedule can be found here.


PSAs

Android SDK builds without video codecs by default

Android SDK doesn’t include video codecs by default anymore. If no video codecs are passed to createPeerConnectionFactory, no video codecs will be included. The purpose is to save binary size for clients that don't need video (e.g. audio or data only). This doesn’t affect clients that are already using injectable codecs. Original PSA here.


Features

Try out getDisplayMedia()

getDisplayMedia is an extension to the Media Capture API, allowing users to capture a user's display, or part thereof, in the form of a video stream. Different than the current capabilities, it doesn’t require any extensions usage. The initial working implementation is now available. Please try out and give feedback. To enable it, you can start Chrome with flag --enable-experimental-web-platform-features or turn it on via chrome://flags/. See bug tracker for details.

RTCPeerConnection.getConfiguration()

getConfiguration() returns the last configuration applied via setConfiguration(), or if setConfiguration() hasn't been called, the configuration the RTCPeerConnection was constructed with. The configuration also has a setting to detect if the RTCPeerConnection defaults to PlanB or Unified Plan which is useful during the transition period. For more details see the Chrome’s feature page.

WebRTC ContentHint attribute

MediaStreamTrack.prototype.contentHint is a property rThe ContentHint interface to tell Chrome about whether you attach more importance to showing motion or detail in your WebRTC video track, as specified in the W3C specification. See the original PSA for more details.

Hi there,
I can only see the branches up to `branch-heads/69`, but not `branch-heads/70`.
Am I missing something?

Hi Naoki,

The link to the M70 branch is at the top of the release notes: WebRTC M70 branch

Does that link work for you?

Hi Anatoli,

Yes, I can see all those commits in the link in the `master` branch, but I don't see `branch-heads/70` branch.
`git branch -r` shows 48 branches and the latest one is `branch-heads/69`. I was expecting 70's branch would show up.

Perhaps you need to update your branch. See more about getting and updating the source code here.
