Why 1.0?

This software now supports all the main streaming protocols (SRT / WebRTC / RTSP / RTMP / LL-HLS), a wide range of codecs, a series of innovative protocol-codec combinations (for instance HLS + AV1), and is deployed in production environments. The main objective of the project has been achieved, that is to provide a routing solution for real-time media streams to any user, from householders that want to manage their video feeds to developers that need to route media streams to and from microservices.

There are a couple of secondary features that will be certainly developed in the near future (native recording, native scalability, both can already be achieved by using external integrations) but other than that the focus will be on fixing eventual issues related to the existing features.

• Fix regression introduced in v0.22.0 that corrupted H264 / H265 streams when option udpPayloadMaxSize was not explicitly set or was set to a value greater than 1472 (#1702) (#1711)
