Red5 Pro Release 2.1.0 – Improved Autoscaling

The new year is all about self-improvement and looking forward. As such, our developers caught the spirit and churned out a new release for both server and mobile SDK. They improved the performance of our autoscale solution and load balancing stream manager, added Flash to HLS audio support (so you can video call your parents more often this year), and updated the mobile example applications.

Having already started down the path of self-improvement, it’s time to continue looking forward to future improvements. What do you want to see added to Red5 Pro? Let us know!
