Build - rust-toolchain.toml pins Rust 1.88, the minimum version of the Rust Video SDK. - Cargo.toml builds getstream._native from rustsrc/ against the SDK (stream-video-rust, branch fix/compatibility-fixes). - pyproject.toml uses maturin instead of hatchling, and uv cache keys make uv sync rebuild after Rust changes. - release-please also updates the version in Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock. - AGENTS.md lists the native build requirements. Binding - Client/Call: join, leave, session_id and calling_state as awaitables and properties; SDK errors raise Error and RtcError. join() waits until a cancelled join has finished its cleanup. - events() and tracks(): async iterators that end when the call ends; participants() and call_state(). - Media: RemoteTrack.next_pcm()/next_video_frame() return numpy arrays without a copy; LocalAudioTrack/LocalVideoTrack, publish_audio(), publish_video() and update_subscriptions(). Logging - SDK tracing events and third-party log records reach Python logging through a bounded queue and one forwarding thread, so a thread that logs never waits for the GIL. - configure_logging(logger, level, third_party_level=WARNING); records keep the time of the Rust event. - Client(log_bodies=True) logs redacted request and response bodies.
SDK logs are now visible in pytest runs
Fewer requests get sent to the backend this way
- Call.stop_publish_audio, stop_publish_video, stop_publish_screen_share - Call.publish_screen_share (VP8) - LocalAudioTrack(pcm_queue_capacity) in seconds - __repr__ for participants, events, remote tracks and frames - AGENTS.md: sdk_logs is for assertions on records
- Emit SFU events, coordinator custom events, connection state changes, call_ended, track_added and audio from the SDK event and track streams, with stream-py payload classes instead of protobuf. - Join with an API secret or a user token; apply subscription configs. - Publish aiortc audio and video tracks through AudioForwarder and VideoForwarder (VP9 video, mono audio, unpaced AudioStreamTrack option). - Key participants_state by session_id, include the local participant and refill it after lost events. - Add RemoteTrack.video_frames(): an independent latest-frame stream for each reader, in place of next_video_frame(). - Remove local recording. - Add migration.md with the breaking changes versus 4.1.0.
Consumers import RemoteTrack, RemoteParticipant, TrackType, VideoFrameStream, VideoFrame and the emitted event classes from the public package instead of getstream._rust.
- A new video track reuses the stopped video sender; test added. - Set the extension version to 6.1.1, as in pyproject.toml. - Document the 20 ms minimum PCM queue and video republishing.
- add_tracks unpublishes the earlier audio or video track before it publishes a new one, so a new track no longer fails with MediaError when the earlier one is live or not yet unpublished. - Bump the Rust SDK revision to 147e04a.
- Delete the old join, signaling, reconnection and peer connection code and the attributes and methods that only it used. - rtc.join takes subscription_config explicitly; max_join_retries, drain_video_frames and other keyword arguments are removed.
- Delete the peer connection, signaling, coordinator WebSocket, reconnection, stats, tracer, location discovery and aiortc encoder patch modules with their tests. - Keep only the subscription config dataclasses in tracks.py and the audio helpers in track_util.py.
scipy, soundfile, websockets, websocket-client, structlog, tenacity and ping3 were used only by the deleted aiortc transport code.
A remote track that is dropped during a mute is delivered again as a new track_added when its media flows after the republish.
It plays back the browser participant's audio and shows their camera mirrored, through rtc.join, the audio and track_added events, RemoteTrack.video_frames() and add_tracks.
When the call ends without leave(), the SDK stops the published tracks. The forwarders kept writing, and the publish task ended with an IllegalStateError that nothing retrieved.
It writes the audio event of each participant session to its own WAV file.
- Cast the aiortc frames and their arrays to the types that the forwarders write. - Narrow the coordinator and client events by their class. - Require user_id in rtc.join and ConnectionManager, and raise TypeError for a call without an id.
getstream is a pure-Python package again. The webrtc extra installs getstream-rtc, which has its own version (0.1.0, in its pyproject.toml) and its own release-please package, and exports every class at the root of getstream_rtc. getstream._rust is removed.
The non-video tests no longer need getstream-rtc. forward_sdk_logs moves from tests/conftest.py to the conftest files of tests/rtc and getstream-rtc/tests. pytest loads the conftest of each tests/test* directory at startup, also with --ignore, so the binding tests could not stay in tests/.
The lint, type check and non-video jobs install every dependency except getstream-rtc, so they need no Rust toolchain. ty reads getstream_rtc from the source tree. A new Rust job runs cargo fmt, clippy and the unit tests in getstream-rtc/.
Rust SDK revision 49d4b22 has a stateful windowed-sinc StreamResampler. getstream_rtc exports it, and FrameResampler uses it instead of PyAV; PyAVResampler is removed. LocalAudioTrack.write_pcm raises the new PcmRateMismatchError for a frame at another rate than the first frame. migration.md lists the changes.
migration.md records more breaking changes and the open findings of the code review. uv.lock has newer versions of 109 packages, among them the CUDA 13 builds of the NVIDIA packages.

Cancelled join races with leave
High Severity
join() holds join_lock only until the cancelled SDK future is dropped on tokio, while leave() never takes that lock. Python observes cancellation immediately and can leave() after the drop has already reset the call to Idle, so a join that finished on the server may never be torn down and the participant stays in the call.

Malformed gitignore comment line
Low Severity
The protocol-folder comment was committed as the literal pattern \n+# Local protocol folder (handled by generate_webrtc.sh) instead of a # comment, so gitignore treats it as a filename pattern and the note is lost.

This section is an internal review backlog. It is not migration guidance. It cites exact source line numbers, which become wrong after the next edit. It also includes items that do not concern users, for example AGENTS.md style, test type annotations, unused test assets and CI timeouts. Users who read the guide after the release get a list of unresolved internal problems that has no owner and no tracking.
Do these steps before the release:
- Open one tracker issue for each open item.
- Delete Lines 421-606.

Build and publish getstream-rtc when its release is created.
This configuration adds an independent release, but the supplied .github/workflows/release.yml job runs only uv build and uv publish from the root. Plain uv build builds the current project, not every workspace member. A getstream-rtc release therefore has no matching published distribution, while the webrtc extra requires it. Add a package-specific wheel build and publication path for the supported platforms. (docs.astral.sh)

Summary
getstream.video.rtcno longer implements the WebRTC transport with aiortc. TheRust Video SDK (stream-video-rust)
now does the coordinator join, the SFU selection, the SFU signaling, the peer
connections, the retries and the reconnects. The new package
getstream-rtc(import name
getstream_rtc) wraps the SDK with PyO3.rtc.join()andConnectionManagerstay the public API.ConnectionManagerisnow a thin layer: it starts the SDK join, emits the SDK events under the
existing event names, and copies the frames of aiortc tracks into the SDK.
This is a breaking change.
migration.mdlists every change compared with4.1.0. This description gives the changes in behavior.
