This is mostly a bug-fix release.  In particular, it fixes a deadlock that
may occur when massive numbers of users join a group simultaneously; is
never happens in real-world usage, but is easily reproducible during
automated testing.  There have been more tweaks to the code that saves
videos to disk, it behaves a little bit better in the presence of packet
loss, but is still not as good as it could be.  The only user-visible
change in this version is the ability to show raised hands, thanks to
Sascha Silbe.
