This release provides a few improvements and fixes.
The detailed list of changes introduced in this release follows.
New Features
- If/when the Websocket connection is unexpectedly closed by the service while a RECOGNIZE request is in-progress, allow to implictly reconnect to the service (auto-reconnect), optionally restream the last audio data chunks (max-audio-data-chunks) and continue processing of the in-progress request.
- Allow to set maximum duration on a Websocket connection.
- Added support for sorting result alternatives based on confidence score (the highest first).
- Made separator of built-in grammar parameters configurable.
- Set the SSL security level to 1 by default. This setting applies to the use of the license server on Ubuntu 20.04 and does not affect other supported distributions.
Fixed Problems
- Fixed a possible memory leak occurred when two file entries (waveforms and/or RDRs) have the same creation time, which is a very rare occasion not involved in the regular operation.
