LiveKit

Android platform audio support landed in the Rust SDKs, enabling microphone capture and speaker playout for Unity and other FFI consumers on Android.¹

TURN security tightened by default.² Server v1.12.0 stops relaying traffic to private IPs unless explicitly permitted via allow_restricted_peer_cidrs. TURN credentials now carry a configurable TTL (default 300 seconds); older credentials should be rotated.³ Backwards compatibility is maintained for this release only — the restriction becomes permanent in the next version.

Data tracks are now on by default.⁴ Server v1.11.0 promoted data tracks from opt-in to the standard configuration, alongside subscriber stream start event notifications and per-track stats.

Agents JS broadened provider and interruption support.

• Added a Perplexity plugin with Agent API support via responses.LLM⁵
• Added VAD-driven finalization for Speechmatics inference STT⁶
• Added user turn limit options to interrupt long user speech⁷
• Fixed realtime generation cancellation on speech interruption and backchannel boundary cooldown handling

Ingress gained direct WHIP-to-SFU routing.⁸ Version 1.5.0 added a config-selectable path that passes WHIP traffic straight to the SFU, skipping transcoding. The release also added SCTE-35 splice-event announcements as participant attributes for MPEG-TS/SRT streams, a media watchdog that closes stalled ingresses after 60 seconds, and a backpressure-aware synchronizer for SRT.⁹

CLI expanded cloud and scripting support. Bring-your-own-container support landed for agent deployments, alongside private-link region selection, lk docs search commands, and inference bearer token creation for the inference gateway.¹⁰¹¹¹²
