###HTML5 SDK:

Please see the HTML5 SDK Migration Guide for detailed information on updates and upgrading from HTML5 SDK v3.5.0 to v4.0.0

  • Fixed – Conflicts when including SDK in app that already uses babel-polyfill

###iOS SDK:

  • Better packet queuing for low bandwidth publishing (requires server v4.0.0)
  • Fixed – Crash with ABR publishing on iOS 11
  • Fixed – A/V sync drift with two-way streaming

The following are now required for Apps that utilize the iOS SDK:

  • libz2.1.0.tbd – Could not add to SDK as only object files can be added as linked frameworks and/or libraries. Used in decode buffer.
  • VideoToolbox – Adding to the SDK still throws build dependency issues for applications. Needed for encoding/decoding.

###Android SDK:

  • Better packet queuing for low bandwidth publishing (requires server v4.0.0)
  • Improved latency
