List of improvements
Users can now subscribe to session notifications. If session starting time is set, subscribed users will receive an email notification 1 day and 1 hour before session start and at session start if the host chooses so. Session host, can also send custom notifications at any time.
When sending session invitations from groop web pages, entered email addresses are saved for the user, and presented as autocomplete options the next time user wants to send email invitations.
In the settings page you can now set the limit for the download cache. Default remains at 64Mb as before.
When the client is trying to connect to a video stream, an animation is displayed in the video window (instead of blank screen).
When images are inserted into the presentation, the upload progress is now shown inside the image.
In the session menu, there is now an option to send session notifications. The email list for notifications is automatically filled with the addresses subscribed for session notifications.
Zoomed/normal view can now be toggled with the F12 key.
When viewing slides in 1:1 mode, there were pixels missing.
Authenticate dialog that is shown when you are trying to join the session that either has not yet started, or requires authentication to join was not working properly. It has been replaced by a more user-friendly dialog that allows different methods of re-authentication to try start /join the session.
If an authenticated user joined the same session more than once at the same time, the behaviour was undefined. Now the older client gets disconnected.
When a user with a low screen resolution was sharing content, the GUI became to big for the screen in sharing mode. This has been fixed by disabling other widgets to make more space in such case.
The tool-tips for files now show all the file information.
When uploading a file with the same filename, it was sometimes possible to overwrite previous files without knowing. Defect was fixed so that now, every time your action would cause a file to be overwritten a dialog appears requiring your confirmation of the action.
Parts of sound were sometimes lost, resulting in poor audio quality. The defect has been fixed.
When stream data was being congested on the server, and the stream was stopped, the queued data was still being sent to the client causing even more network congestion. The defect was fixed so that now when stream is stopped all stream data is dropped by the servers.
When in presentation layout the podium video window was shown even if nobody was on podium. This has been fixed, so that now the podium video window is not visible in this case.
When switching from hands-free to push-to-talk audio mode, the guess speech filter was left enabling, causing problems with the sound. The filter now gets disabled when switching to push-to-talk, and enabled when switching to hands-free. There is also a notification about this.
The preferred audio mode was also not saved. It is now saved.
