Highlights

  • Spec-compliant AMF0/AMF3 (#415, [#497], [#498]):
  • The codecs are cross-checked against Mini-AMF 0.9.1 and Apache BlazeDS 4.7.3, with golden test vectors from both.
  • Fixed: reference handling, the AMF0-to-AMF3 switch scope, Vector and Dictionary decoding, the Vector encoders, XML documents and string length limits.
  • Fixed: Flex shared objects with AMF3 encoding, Flex message parameters, and status objects on AMF3 connections.
  • RTMP:
  • Data messages on stream 0 decode as calls (#498).
  • The connect result carries fmsVer, capabilities and the Enhanced RTMP fourCcList, info maps and capsEx (#498).
  • Timestamp discontinuity offsets are applied once per message (#486).
  • WebSocket:
  • Origin checking is on by default, and only same-origin handshakes are accepted (#495).
  • Handshakes are bound to the serving application (#488).
  • Containers are removed when their context is destroyed (#494).
  • Resource limits (#488, [#494], [#496]):
  • Recording size, duration and free-space limits, including append mode.
  • Per-application recording budgets, principal quotas and an opt-in retention policy.
  • Shared-object count, size, memory and disk budgets, and idle eviction of persistent shared objects.
  • MediaBunny limits per application, plus a per-address cap.
  • Fixed: a recording writer thread leak.
  • TLS: TomcatConnector accepts PEM certificate and key files (#487).

Upgrade notes

  • WebSocket origins (#495): browser pages served from a different origin than Red5 need their origin in the allowedOrigins context-param. Reverse proxies must pass Host or X-Forwarded-Host. Set crossOriginPolicy=false to restore the old behavior.
  • AMF wire changes:
  • AMF0 dates are written with time-zone 0.
  • AMF0 XML documents carry a U32 length.
  • Vector<Number> and Vector<Object> are prefixed with the AMF3 switch marker. Older Red5 peers that sent them without it no longer decode.
  • Status and error objects on AMF3 are anonymous objects with the same members as AMF0.
  • Connect _result: the properties object carries fmsVer (now RED5/2,0,49,0), capabilities and the E-RTMP keys (capsEx, previously CapsEx). The information object always includes objectEncoding.
  • Data messages on stream 0: a message named on* is delivered as a call instead of being dropped. The server no longer answers a peer's data message with _result.
  • New limits are off by default. See red5.properties (fileconsumer.*, recording.app.max.bytes, so.*) and the commented examples in the live webapp. The one exception is so.max.name.depth, which defaults to 16.
