Version 20.1.5 LA

What's new in this release?

  • Epic CAL users on iPad no longer receive 404 errors
  • On some versions of iOS, if an iPad user clicked an Epic CAL link to join a VidyoConnect call, a 404 error may have been displayed. This is due to the Apple Safari browser switching user-agents dynamically under certain conditions. In this release, this case is accounted for by the VidyoPortal, and the user sees the Join Conference splash page rather than a 404 error.
  • Correct options displayed for Samsung mobile browsers
  • Although Vidyo does not support mobile WebRTC on the Samsung browser, users were erroneously given the option to join a conference on this browser. Starting with this version, the appropriate join options are now displayed for Samsung mobile browsers.
  • TURNS support for macOS, iPadOS, and iOS devices
  • When using the Apple Safari browser to join a conference via WebRTC, connections over secure TURN will now succeed without a certificate error.
  • Important bug fixes
  • In this release, we've addressed some important issues to improve usability and reliability.
  • System updates
  • For added security and stability, updates for multiple third-party packages and libraries are included as part of this release.

Important changes and new requirements

  • VidyoPortal VE version 19.2.0 and later requires 12GB memory allocation at a minimum for production use. Prior versions only required 8GB of memory.
  • ACTION TO TAKE: Make sure to review your configuration and adjust the memory allocation if necessary.
  • VidyoPortal version 20.2.x and later requires you to set the SOAPAction header for all SOAP requests; otherwise, requests may fail.
  • ACTIONS TO TAKE: Inspect any API integrations that may use the Vidyo Web Services APIs and validate that this header is appropriately set. We also highly recommend that you test any API integrations in a lab environment prior to upgrading to your production environment.
  • VidyoGateway versions 3.5.x and VidyoReplay versions 3.1.x do not work with VidyoPortal and VidyoRouter version 21.6.x. You must upgrade your VidyoGateway and/or VidyoReplay to version 20.2.0 or later in order to be compatible with VidyoPortal and VidyoRouter version 21.2.x and later. For help with how to upgrade, refer to the Upgrade Steps Lookup Tool article. To obtain the software package you need to download, refer to the VidyoGateway Packages or VidyoReplay Packages article.

Important notes

  • You can only upgrade to VidyoPortal and VidyoRouter version 21.6.8 from version 19.2.0 or later. You cannot upgrade directly from any previous versions as these versions are not supported.
  • DO NOT reboot your system during the upgrade as this could result in permanent loss of data.
  • For information on how to upgrade to VidyoPortal and VidyoRouter version 21.6.8 from the version you are currently running, refer to the Upgrade Steps Lookup Tool article. This article lists the steps you need to take for your particular version, including which Security Updates you may need to install.
