Server Release 11.0.0

New Feature - WHIP and WHEP

Red5 Pro Server Release 11.0.0 introduces support for the WHIP (WebRTC HTTP Ingestion Protocol) and WHEP (WebRTC HTTP Egress Protocol) bringing standardization and increased connection speeds to WebRTC publishing and playback. WHIP and WHEP are based on the WebRTC HTTP Ingestion Draft and WebRTC HTTP Egress Draft respectively. More information can be found in our WHIP and WHEP Blog Post.
