Bug fixes and quality improvements
- Audio bleed-over: Fixed an issue where 3D ambient audio continued into standard video calls.
- Camera sync: Improved camera to display synchronization to prevent frame drops.
- Audio controls: Fixed mute and unmute state synchronization issues on touchscreens.
- Network routing: Improved station IPv4/IPv6 networking bridge to stabilize calls.
- Setup reliability: Fixed initial setup errors caused by vendor service timeouts.
- Authentication: Fixed an issue where an internal communication backup could cause stations to become unresponsive to new calls, or cause 3D calls to downgrade to standard video calls. The authentication process has been optimized with improved safeguards and reliability to ensure uninterrupted calling.
- More reliable system software updates: Safeguards are in place to ensure that temporary network blips don't leave stations in a bad state. This fixes an issue where a temporary network interruption could cause the touchscreen to become unresponsive and stall system updates.
- System reliability and uptime: Enhanced system reliability with automated recovery routines that can detect, power cycle, and restart an unresponsive touchscreen without manual intervention.
