WebSDK 2.0 Release Notes

WebSDK 2.0 currently only supports viewing and publishing to a channel; any developers that require room support should continue using version 1.0 until further notice.

v2025.0.1

Release Date: 2025.01.28

Enhancements

• Frame timecode information is now available to users via Encoded Insertable Streams. Its usage can be seen in this example.
• Updated type definitions and enabled all TypeScript strict rules, improving developer experience, development reliability, and reducing risk for unexpected runtime errors when integrating @phenixrts/sdk into an application, ensuring smoother adoption for developers.
• Improved intellisense performance when working with @phenixrts/sdk in IDEs such as WebStorm and VSCode.

Fixes/Updates

• Resolved an issue where soft reconnection entered the wrong state after a network loss in Safari.

v2023.2.22

Release Date: 2023.11.28

WebSDK 1.0 Release Notes

v2023.0.12

Release Date: 2023.11.30

Updates

• This version requires the use of tokens and deprecates actions such as joining channels with an ID or alias instead of a token.
• Support for the Admin API proxy client has been removed as of this release. If you are still using the deprecated Admin API proxy, you cannot use this or newer versions of WebSDK v1. If you have developed a fully token-based workflow (including token refresh), you may upgrade to the latest version at any time. To determine whether your implementation uses this feature, analyze your code to determine if you are setting an Admin API Proxy. If you are, please contact Phenix support via Slack for guidance.
• Chrome version 119 and above has changed where the codecID gets listed in their WebRTC statistics as part of changes announced here. Phenix has forced codecId to be in its previous same location so any legacy code relying on our statistics will still find the codec.
