    Kurento:

    • 🛠 Backport memory leak fixes for lossy environments from upstream gstreamer
    • Backport Kurento/kms-elements#27: this adds two new options (externalIPv4/externalIPv6) which supersede the current externalAddress config to make it dual stack (IPv4+IPv6) friendly.
    • 🚀 Backport Kurento/kms-elements#26: add a new configuration option (niceAgentIceTcp) to allow disabling TCP ICE candidate gathering. TCP is usually closed on firewalls on regular deployments, so by deactivating them we halve the number of server-side * Kurento candidates while also speeding up connectivity.
    • Adjustments to Kurento's audio jitterbuffer: improves listen only audio quality.
