A/V conference now adds user metadata about the stream it is forwarding through XEP-0298.
This is parsed and added to metadata during confirmation on client side.
rel 448
- SDP can now be answered by component instead of frontend. This is useful for A/V
conferences component to handle A/V call jingle sessions.
- new `call_update` and method, and `content-add` action preparation. This is not yet used
by A/V conference, but it's a preparation for a potential future use.
- Add NS_AV_CONFERENCES to features as required by the newly proposed A/V Conferences
protoXEP.
rel 447
- `content-add` is now handled at this plugin level (implementation needs to be done in
apps and transports plugins).
- `get_transport` is now exposed.
rel 447
- jingle session management is now correctly handled, with id of the Galène client used as
prefix when necessary.
- Galène is now run only when component session is started, avoiding systematic run on
__init__.
- Galène ICE logs are displayed with high verbosity.
- Fix disco identity handling

when set, the `call_setup_cb` method will be used instead of calling the `call_setup`
bridge signal. This will be useful to incoming `Conferences` component to handle the
signaling internally.
rel 445
- ICE buffer is now sent also for initiator.
- If `ice_candidates_new_cb` is set in `session`, it will be used instead of using the
`ice_candidates_new` signal. This is useful to handle internally the workflow, and will
be used in incoming `Conferences` component.

this directory may be used to share files between backend and frontends. Normally, an
os-dependent temporary directory is created for that, but if this option is set, the
directory will be created in <local_dir>/<cache_dir>, which may be useful in some use case
(e.g. containerized frontends and backend).
- Generated password must now be named and are stored, so they are re-used on following
restarts. Password size can now be specified.
- New `not` filter for `!libervia_param` to inverse a boolean value.
- Former `front_url` field has been renamed to `web_url_path` as it is the URL path used
for web frontend. All Web frontend related field are prefixed with `web_`.
- `front_url` is now used to specify a whole front URL (notably useful if an app uses its
own domain). A list can be used to retrieve a key, like for `url_prefix`, and `https`
scheme is added if no scheme is specified.
- An abstract class is now used for App Managers.
- Last application start time is stored in persistent data.
This is an implementation of the protoXEP that will be submitted to XSF. It handle
establishment of a remote control session, and the management of A/V calls with XEP-0167.

This is a series of changes necessary to prepare the implementation of remote control
feature:
- XEP-0166: add a `priority` attribute to `ApplicationData`: this is needed when several
applications are working in a same session, to know which one must be handled first.
Will be used to make Remote Control have precedence over Call content.
- XEP-0166: `_call_plugins` is now async and is not used with `DeferredList` anymore: the
benefit to have methods called in parallels is very low, and it cause a lot of trouble
as we can't predict order. Methods are now called sequentially so workflow can be
predicted.
- XEP-0167: fix `senders` XMPP attribute <=> SDP mapping
- XEP-0234: preflight acceptance key is now `pre-accepted` instead of `file-accepted`, so
the same key can be used with other jingle applications.
- XEP-0167, XEP-0343: move some method to XEP-0167
- XEP-0353: use new `priority` feature to call preflight methods of applications according
to it.
- frontend (webrtc): refactor the sources/sink handling with a more flexible mechanism
based on Pydantic models. It is now possible to have has many Data Channel as necessary,
to have them in addition to A/V streams, to specify manually GStreamer sources and
sinks, etc.
- frontend (webrtc): rework of the pipeline to reduce latency.
- frontend: new `portal_desktop` method. Screenshare portal handling has been moved there,
and RemoteDesktop portal has been added.
- frontend (webrtc): fix `extract_ufrag_pwd` method.

Twisted auth mechanism are outdated, and as a result, Libervia was not supporting the
mandatory SCRAM-SHA auth mechanism. This patch implements it for SCRAM-SHA-1,
SCRAM-SHA-256 and SCRAM-SHA-512 variants.
Implement XEP-0343: Signaling WebRTC Data Channels in Jingle. The current version of the
XEP (0.3.1) has no implementation and contains some flaws. After discussing this on xsf@,
Daniel (from Conversations) mentioned that they had a sprint with Larma (from Dino) to
work on another version and provided me with this link:
https://gist.github.com/iNPUTmice/6c56f3e948cca517c5fb129016d99e74 . I have used it for my
implementation.
This implementation reuses work done on Jingle A/V call (notably XEP-0176 and XEP-0167
plugins), with adaptations. When used, XEP-0234 will not handle the file itself as it
normally does. This is because WebRTC has several implementations (browser for web
interface, GStreamer for others), and file/data must be handled directly by the frontend.
This is particularly important for web frontends, as the file is not sent from the backend
but from the end-user's browser device.
Among the changes, there are:
- XEP-0343 implementation.
- `file_send` bridge method now use serialised dict as output.
- New `BaseTransportHandler.is_usable` method which get content data and returns a boolean
(default to `True`) to tell if this transport can actually be used in this context (when
we are initiator). Used in webRTC case to see if call data are available.
- Support of `application` media type, and everything necessary to handle data channels.
- Better confirmation message, with file name, size and description when available.
- When file is accepted in preflight, it is specified in following `action_new` signal for
actual file transfer. This way, frontend can avoid the display or 2 confirmation
messages.
- XEP-0166: when not specified, default `content` name is now its index number instead of
a UUID. This follows the behaviour of browsers.
- XEP-0353: better handling of events such as call taken by another device.
- various other updates.
rel 441
the `C.META_TYPE_FILE` can't be used in this case as it is a preflight and we don't have
yet data such as progress ID. `C.META_TYPE_FILE` is used as a sub-type to help with dialog
management in frontend.
