What's Changed

Version 0.17.0 is a big fundamental change.
Lets start with the TLDR:

  • it implements everything required for matrix2.0
  • It is fully compatible with v0.16.0 and behaves the same
  • if someone sends 2.0 events and uses features like publishing there media on their own SFU, this version will still connect with those users

There is a full refactor of the CallViewModel (a major part of the codebase), an SDK version, and all the matrix2.0 features that cover security, reliability and convenience.
