This is the last minor release for the v20 release cycle! After this release you might see more frequent major version bumps.
What does this mean?
We are lifting ourselves from the difficult task of keeping protocol compatibility between different versions of headset app and streamer. For ALVR, the protocol compatibility is tied to the major version number, so major version bumps don't necessarily mean that big changes or features are released.
What should you do
You should update the ALVR streamer using the Launcher as soon as a new version comes out to keep things running smoothly. For people using the Quest store release, this is especially important since the Quest might force you to upgrade the ALVR app. People on Pico don't have yet a store release for ALVR, but they are still encouraged to update the ALVR streamer and headset app soon after a new release.
