Version 21.6.1 LA

What's new in this release?

  • CDR obfuscation profiles
  • Super Admins can now use REST APIs to define CDR obfuscation profiles on a per Tenant basis. An obfuscation profile indicates what data should be obfuscated in the CDR (Call Detail Record) for each Tenant.
  • Super Admins can also create a default obfuscation profile via the REST APIs.
  • This customizability is especially useful for healthcare and GDPR customers who must follow strict guidelines on storing Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
  • For more information about the new APIs you can use to create CDR obfuscation profiles, refer to the "CDR Obfuscation Profiles" section of the Web Services API User Guide.
  • Multiple custom SIP headers in the InviteToConference SOAP API
  • API users can now pass multiple SIP headers to a SIP endpoint when sending a conference invitation.
  • The header is accessible when dialing through the VidyoGateway.
  • Prior to this release, only one parameter could be sent, which limited some use cases.
  • System updates
  • For added security and stability, updates for multiple third-party packages and libraries are included as part of this release.

Important compatibility information

As a reminder, we made some significant updates to the Vidyo Compatibility Matrix in VidyoPortal version 22.1.1. Please refer to the Vidyo Compatibility Matrix for On-Premises and the subsections below for more details.

Endpoint compatibility

  • Starting with VidyoPortal 22.1.1, the following endpoints are no longer supported:
  • VidyoDesktop
  • VidyoMobile
  • VidyoRoom HD-200, HD-100, and HD-50
  • VidyoClient 3.x-based applications

Important changes and requirements

  • VidyoPortal VE version 19.2.0 and later requires 12GB memory allocation at a minimum for production use. Prior versions only required 8GB of memory.
  • ACTION TO TAKE: Make sure to review your configuration and adjust the memory allocation if necessary.
  • VidyoPortal version 20.2.x and later requires you to set the SOAPAction header for all SOAP requests; otherwise, requests may fail.
  • ACTIONS TO TAKE: Inspect any API integrations that may use the Vidyo Web Services APIs and validate that this header is appropriately set. We also highly recommend that you test any API integrations in a lab environment prior to upgrading to your production environment.
  • Mobile WebRTC for iOS and iPadOS now requires version 13.7 or later. If you use older versions, the "Join via the browser" option will not display on the Join page.
  • VidyoGateway versions 3.5.x and VidyoReplay versions 3.1.x do not work with VidyoPortal and VidyoRouter version 22.2.x and later. You must upgrade your VidyoGateway and/or VidyoReplay to version 22.1.0 in order to be compatible with VidyoPortal and VidyoRouter version 22.2.x and later. For help with how to upgrade, refer to the Upgrade Steps Lookup Tool article. To obtain the software package you need to download, refer to the VidyoGateway Packages or VidyoReplay Packages article.

Important notes

  • You can only upgrade to VidyoPortal and VidyoRouter version 21.6.1 from version 21.2.0 or later. You cannot upgrade directly from any previous versions as these versions are not supported.
  • DO NOT reboot your system during the upgrade as this could result in permanent loss of data.
  • For information on how to upgrade to VidyoPortal and VidyoRouter version 21.6.1 from the version you are currently running, refer to the Upgrade Steps Lookup Tool article. This article lists the steps you need to take for your particular version, including which Security Updates you may need to install.
