What’s new
Version v5.15 released
31st October 2024
Quobis WAC v5.14 has been released today, these are the main new features:
A new media server selection policy has been implemented, allowing to randomly choose a media server. This policy is added to the existing one (load-balacing), so customers can choose between any of the policies depending on the high-availability requirements.
SDK clients can now send a custom SIP header with a given value in outgoing SIP calls. This is useful for click-to-call and contact-center scenarios, where there is a need for sending some information to the remote SIP platform.
New retry mechamism implemented in the QSS-dispatcher communication: instead of giving-up after one attempt, a number of retries are done before telling the SDK that the call cannot proceed. This feature simplifies the client-side logic for call attempt retries.
More information is available in the Release Notes.
