BigBlueButton v2.2.26 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-09-25 // over 3 years ago
  • ๐Ÿš€ This minor release contains several stability improvements and further enhances sharing of webcams, screenshare and audio by adding configuration for reducing the number of ICE candidates, thus making it more robust and quicker to establish.

    Webcams, screenshare, listenOnly audio

    Backport Kurento/kms-elements#28

    • ๐Ÿ›  Fixed the networkInterfaces option to be dual stack (IPv4+IPv6) compatible and also work with network interfaces with multiple IP addresses of the same family
    • Added a new companion config ipIgnoreList: to be used alongside networkInterfaces to ignore unwanted IP addresses in the ICE gathering procedure. With the changes to networkInterfaces, private IP addresses will now also be gathered. If you don't need intranet connectivity with Kurento, add the private IP (and any other unwanted ones) from the interfaces in networkIntefaces to the ignore list and they won't be used.
    • Link-local IPs (169.254.* and fe80::*) are already ignored by default, so you don't need to set them up in the ignore list

    Note: For best results we recommend the usage of externalIPv4+externalIPv6+ipIgnoreList
