OpenTalk v24.1.0

  • Release date: 2024-02-22
  • Release series: 24.1
  • Next release: v24.1.1

Release notes​

This is the first release that uses the new numbering scheme. The major version number indicates the year in which it was released, while the minor number is increased with each new release, which should happen roughly in a three-week cycle. The patch number will be increased for bugfix releases.

New features​

Client-side speaker detection​

Previously, the detection of speakers was implemented by querying information from the Janus server which processes the audio and video streams. This did not work as reliable as needed. In addition, the signaling protocol only allowed indicating a single speaker at the same time.

Speaker detection is now performed client-side in the browser, working a lot more reliable. Multiple speakers can now be recognized by OpenTalk at the same time, in speaker view the most recent speaker that went active is focused.

The migration guide for the OpenTalk Controller contains information about changing the configuration file for the new version.

Known issues​

This section lists issues that surfaced during the testing phase of this release but were minor enough to not let them delay the release. These will be fixed in a patch release. If you'd like to avoid being affected by these issues, you might want to wait for the 24.1.1 bugfix release.

Detected speaker remains active when muting themselves​

When a participant mutes themselves while being detected as an active speaker, the flag which indicates that the user is speaking is not cleared, resulting in the muted speaker being highlighted as if they were still speaking.

SIP contact header not set correctly​

You will recognize the issue by obelisk printing error logs either on start, or when attempting to accept a call.

The sip contact header is not set corectly. It is curently derived from the id header. As work around the id header can be set to sip:<local_user>@<local_ip>:<local_port>.
