Allow configuring whether a VAD model runs before calling an external ASR API.
Running VAD can save API calls (and costs) when no audible sound is detected,
but comes with the trade-off of additional computational overhead.
Based on a request from our European partners, introduce new languages for the
transcription feature. Dutch and German are now supported, which is a great
addition.
It closes#837.
WhisperX is expected to support both languages.
Worked on a large PR (#827) and chose to consolidate all new features and
refactorings in the changelog at the end of the work instead of updating it per
commit. Not ideal—acknowledge this is bad practice.
The previous attempt to make the Deepgram configuration extensible
introduced unnecessary complexity for a very limited use case and
made it harder to add new STT backends.
Refactor to a deliberately simple and explicit design with minimal
cognitive overhead. Configuration is now fully driven by environment
variables and provides enough flexibility for ops to select and
parameterize the STT backend.
Implement Langfuse tracing integration for LLM service calls to capture
prompts, responses, latency, token usage, and errors, enabling
comprehensive monitoring and debugging of AI model interactions
for performance analysis and cost optimization.
Allow external platforms using the public API to create provisional users
with email-only identification when the user doesn't yet exist in our
system. This removes a key friction point blocking third-party integrations
from fully provisioning access on behalf of new users.
Provisional users are created with email as the primary identifier. Full
identity reconciliation (sub assignment) occurs on first login, ensuring
reliable user identification is eventually established.
While email-only user creation is not ideal from an identity perspective,
it provides a pragmatic path to unlock integrations and accelerate adoption
through external platforms that are increasingly driving our videoconference
tool's growth.
Reorder CHANGELOG section headings to follow standard Keep a Changelog format
(Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security) for consistent structure
that users expect when reviewing release notes.
Allow configuration variables that handles secrets, like
`DJANGO_SECRET_KEY` to be able to read from a file which is given
through an environment file.
For example, if `DJANGO_SECRET_KEY_FILE` is set to
`/var/lib/meet/django-secret-key`, the value of `DJANGO_SECRET_KEY` will
be the content of `/var/lib/meet/django-secret-key`.
This commit introduces a boilerplate inspired by https://github.com/numerique-gouv/impress.
The code has been cleaned to remove unnecessary Impress logic and dependencies.
Changes made:
- Removed Minio, WebRTC, and create bucket from the stack.
- Removed the Next.js frontend (it will be replaced by Vite).
- Cleaned up impress-specific backend logics.
The whole stack remains functional:
- All tests pass.
- Linter checks pass.
- Agent Connexion sources are already set-up.
Why clear out the code?
To adhere to the KISS principle, we aim to maintain a minimalist codebase. Cloning Impress
allowed us to quickly inherit its code quality tools and deployment configurations for staging,
pre-production, and production environments.
What’s broken?
- The tsclient is not functional anymore.
- Some make commands need to be fixed.
- Helm sources are outdated.
- Naming across the project sources are inconsistent (impress, visio, etc.)
- CI is not configured properly.
This list might be incomplete. Let's grind it.
