WebRTC M75 Release Notes


WebRTC M75 branch (cut at r27678)

Summary


WebRTC M75, currently available in Chrome's beta channel and as native libraries for Android and iOS, contains 3 new features and over 50 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. Native libraries for Android and iOS are built on a weekly basis and are available on JCenter and CocoaPods; the Changelog is available here.


Features


  • RTCIceTransport and RTCDtlsTransport APIs

The WebRTC APIs for RTPsenders and RTPReceivers have been extended with attributes that give

information about the state of the underlying ICE transport and DTLS transport. These attributes are part

of the WebRTC 1.0 specification.

  • chrome://webrtc-internals using standard getStats() + new stats implemented

    • chrome://webrtc-internals now displays stats returned by the standardized getStats() API, which is the promise-based API in Chrome. These metrics are also saved when you “Create Dump”, but if you want to view the old non-standard stats (returned from the callback-based API) there is a drop-down menu that lets you choose. See PSA.


  • New standardized stats have also been implemented, particularly ones meant to be able to replace non-standard “goog” stats from the legacy getStats() API. For details, see PSA.


  • RTCPeerConnection.onnegotiationneeded

The negotiationneeded event informs the application that session negotiation needs to be done (i.e. a

createOffer call followed by setLocalDescription). This is not really a new feature, but prior to M75, the

event fired incorrectly. M75 fixes this issue and makes the event useful by firing it when negotiation is

actually needed, in accordance with the spec.


Deprecations


  • Support for user-info part of turn urls, i.e., the @ sign preceded by username (and optional password) in turns:nisse:sec...@example.org, has been deleted. This syntax was part of early internet-drafts, but was made obsolete by RFC 7065. Turn urls are used to specify the list of ICE servers for a PeerConnection. The work for this was tracked in issue 10422

of the WebRTC 1.0 specification.


I do not see either issue 953694 nor issue 944036 mentioned here or below. A change that is tagged as associated with these issues is still causing issues in M75 with iceConnectionState(change) not behaving properly.

Harald: can you (or anyone) explain how the release notes are relevant if they do not mention this?
They are a great place to repeat a "we changed things, please test and let us know if it breaks" (which should have been sent out earlier as a PSA).
