Highlights

• Improve stability in Conferencing under High Load: When there is an instant number of participants join/leave the video conference, some participants could not be heard or watched. It's fixed and with this fix, your conference calls are more stable under high number of attendees 🤙 🎸

• Improve Stability in Cluster : Some nodes in the cluster rarely cannot get the secret-key for cluster communication and they should be restarted to work in a cluster. It's fixed and with this fix, all your nodes are more stable to join/leave the clusters on the fly. 💪 🚀

• Better HLS playback in Bad networks: In bad network conditions, WebRTC ingest is missing some audio and video packets as expected. With this fix, We've handle the missed audio video packets better and we provide a better watching experience for HLS playback 🎉 🎦
