[Galene] ANNOUNCE: galene-0.7.0

[Juliusz Chroboczek <jch@irif.fr>]

Dear all,

Galene 0.7.0 is available by doing

  git clone -b galene-0.7.0 https://github.com/jech/galene

For more information about the Galene videoconference server, please see

  https://galene.org


The main feature in this version is support for stateful tokens, which
allow to log in without going through the username/password ritual.  You
may now say

    /invite user 2d

to create a link that allows logging into the current group and will
expire after two days.  If the username is an empty string, then the user
will be prompted for a username.

Please see the "/invite", "/reinvite", "/revoke" and "/listtokens"
commands in the online help, and the "unrestricted-tokens" option in the
group configuration.

There are some other more minor tweaks and features.  Here's the changelog.


10 April 2023: Galene 0.7.0

  * Updated the protocol version to 2.  Dates are now represented in
    ISO 8601 format, and there is a new "error" field in error messages
    that contains a machine-readable identifier.
  * Implemented stateful tokens ("invitations").
  * Made more errors non-fatal, which makes it possible for the client
    to recover in more situations.
  * Reworked the progress indicator used during file transfer.
  * Added Referrer-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options headers to HTTP
    responses (Galene was already generating HTML links with the
    "noreferrer" option).  Thanks to Alexandre Iooss.
  * Fixed a bug in the handling of leave messages.  (The bundled client
    never sends leave, it just disconnects, so the bug never triggerred.)
  * Changed the way simulcast tracks are selected to not depend on the rid.


Enjoy,

-- Juliusz
