TURBOMEETING 8.0 RELEASE NOTES

3/20/2020

1. Ensured compliance with new MAC OS security policies, which broke the existing effortless workflow for installation, desktop sharing, camera and computer mic.
2. Fixed a rare PSTN audio conferencing integration issue, which showed the host had not started an online meeting even though the host had indeed started it.
3. Fixed audio issues with some devices that have more than two channels.
4. Fixed occasional viewer flashing issue for some PC users.
5. Ensured compliance with updated browsers for SSL certificate installation.

1. Improved Echo Cancellation. Significantly improved the Echo Cancellation function; in most cases, users can now utilize their computer microphones and speakers without using a headset.
2. Reduced CPU Usages. Reduced the CPU usages for HD video conferencing.
3. Refined MAC User Interface. Ensured that the MAC user interface is compatible with the PC user experience.
4. Transfer Host. Ensured that the current host is allowed to designate an attendee as a new host, enabling the current host to exit the session while the new host takes over and continues the session.
5. Introduced RemoteHand for Remote Support. Introduced Remote Support functions via HD video. With RemoteHand, the supporter can direct the remote supportee visually via webcam in order to fix countless applications including physical devices, large equipment, pipelines, electricity lines, city sewer systems, etc. Both the supporter and the supportee are able to annotate over video to pinpoint where issues exist and demonstrate how to fix them. Multiple supporters can also work jointly. See http://www.rhubcom.com/v5/TurboRemoteHand.html for more details.
   
   To further enhance the RemoteHand experience, this year, R-HUB will provide a hands-free, helmet-mounted, high-quality 1080p HD camera, which can be wirelessly connected to mobile devices. For now, users can enjoy this function and improve productivity right away by using mobile device cameras.
6. Extended the HD Webcam Viewing Number to 100. Users are able to see up to 30 webcams at a time; now they can also rotate the view to include up to 100 webcams in a single meeting.
7. Added Dedicated HD End Point Devices for Conference Rooms. A dedicated Linux-based device that will ensure a consistent HD video-conferencing experience for every meeting is now available for conference rooms. See http://www.rhubcom.com/v5/turbo_room.html for more details.
8. Refined Mobile Webcam Interfaces. These enhancements provide mobile users with a better experience when navigating HD webcams during meetings.
9. Increased Security Measures. Increased encryption key length to 352 bits for all types of data: screen, video, audio, files and chats. As a result, the existing SSL-only meeting traffic feature, which introduces disconnections and slows down speed, has been removed from this release. Users preferring to retain this feature, can contact the R-HUB Support Team to restore the function. Also, V8 will move from TLS 1.0 to TLS 1.2.
