Summary

What's new

This release introduces foundational infrastructure for upcoming Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC), with the key addition being the ability for admins to create, edit, and delete room attributes that will later power ABAC rules. It also rolls out a unified v2 encryption model across platforms, strengthens password requirements, adopts authenticated encryption for new data, improves key handling, and adds versioning to support a smooth transition, while the web password reset flow now enforces stronger custom passwords with automatic passphrases planned later. Voice calling received major upgrades, including better extension support in autocomplete, clearer transfer and DTMF behavior, presence-aware call UI, improved client session reliability, and a new Drachtio image underpinning the updated stack, plus real-time call state synchronization for all participants and automatic call summary blocks posted to the correct DM after calls end. Additionally, the expandable message composer preview item was stabilized ahead of the 8.0.0 release, and the livechat:saveUnit API method was prepared for deprecation to align with the new 8.0.0 architecture.

Bug fixes

The batch of fixes in this release improves stability across voice, teams, security, and UI. Voice calling bugs were addressed (missing buttons on small screens, LDAP extension sync, transfer restrictions, WebRTC renegotiation conflicts, and correct call summary labeling). Team deletion now properly removes associated teams when their main room is deleted, edited canned responses remain visible with consistent API behavior, and Outlook Windows notifications now show correct timestamps. Regressions were fixed for private channel Directory search and inconsistent favicons, multiple Email 2FA and TOTP edge cases were resolved, and Enhanced Navigation sidebar behavior was tightened. Other improvements include more reliable lead capture, corrected Omnichannel tag labels, safer delete confirmation handling, proper saving of cleared Bio fields, controlled room deletion with full cleanup/events, and correct editing of encrypted attachment descriptions.
