Fixed potential memory leak with for video calls when the recorder (introduced in 2.6) was not in use.

• WebRTC r 18213
• Added QBRTCRecorder class. This class represents WebRTC audio and video calls recorder. Check out this link for more information on how to use it.

Framework:

• Built as dynamic framework.

  • Run Script Phase: Don't forget to add a RunScript Phase to your project, in order for framework to successfully compile when archiving.
  • Embedded binary: If you are not using CocoaPods and have QuickbloxWebRTC installed manually, don't forget to add it as Embedded binary.

  Developer comment: From now on framework is built and distributed as dynamic framework. You can read more about it here. This will also allow the use of use_frameworks! flag in pod file, that is using QuickbloxWebRTC framework as one of its pods.

• Added full bitcode support.

  Developer comment: QuickbloxWebRTC framework is now fully supportsbitcode. You can enable bitcode in your project (if no other framework you are using don't have it) and we are highly encouraging you to do it. You can read more about bitcode here.

• Reduced size of our framework from 84.3 mb to 67.4 mb.

  Developer comment: Bitcode support and dynamic framework itself have allowed us to reduce our framework size in ~21%.

Core:

• Fixed-session:hungUpByUser:userInfo: delegate method of QBRTCClientDelegate protocol not being called (thanks to neshyurik for reporting the issue).
• Fixed crash after accepting the incoming call that was cancelled by the caller.

Sample video chat:

• Improved screen sharing codebase in QBRTCScreenCapture class. Now using kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr8BiPlanarFullRange pixel format (better performance).
• Reduced size of icons in sample.

• Refactored internal parsers: performance increase.
• Fixed rare crash with collection, which was mutated while being enumerated due to access from different threads (thanks to ameenudheenirshad for reporting the issue)
• Added support for application groups. Use setApplicationGroupIdentifier: method in QBSettings class.
• Fixed issue with incorrect generic for reasons property in QBError (thanks to mosluce for reporting the issue)
• Reduced Quickblox SDK binary size.

1. Implemented last activity. You can get last activity in seconds for user that is in your contact list. Will return 0 if user is online. Fore more information: XEP-0012:

• Added lastActivityForContactListItem:withCompletion: and lastActivityForContactListItem:withTimeout:completion: methods to QBContactList class. Use them to get a last activity for contact list item.

2. [QBChat]:

• Added user ID validation in connectWithUser: methods.
• QBChat will now store a copy of QBUUser instance while connected (was the direct link).
• Fixed QBChat stored user not being cleared after disconnect (thanks intonarumori).
• Fixed disconnectWithCompletionBlock: completion block not being called if chat is not connected (thanks intonarumori).
• Fixed an issue that prevented group dialogs from being joined if chat did reconnect.

3. Implemented markMessagesAsDelivered:dialogID:successBlock:errorBlock: QBRequest. Use it to mark messages as delivered.

4. Deprecated read property in QBChatMessage class. Use readIDs to determine whether the message was read.

• Introducing refactored connect to chat. Now even faster.
• Fixed Join in group dialogs deadlock, whenever user was performing join in bunch of rooms at the same time.
• Added mutualBlock property to QBPrivacyItem class. By default user, who is blocking, can send messages and presences to the one he blocked without any errors. To achieve a two-way block set this property to YES. After that the user, who is blocking, will receive errors when will try to communicate with blocked user.
• Updated inline documentations and nullability pointers in various classes headers.

iOS 10 - In order for QBSession restoration from keychain to work as intended, you from now on need to turn on keychain share in your application project capabilities.
