About Ant Media Server
Ant Media crossed the 3.0 line with AV1, eight CVE patches, and a breaking API cleanup.
Ant Media Server has just shipped its 3.0 series. The cut version, 3.0.1, packed an AV1 codec path, removed long-deprecated methods (potentially breaking integrations), patched roughly eight CVEs in the parent and management console, and added Strict-Transport-Security headers and daily SSL renewal checks. Two follow-up tags (3.0.2, 3.0.3) appear to be quick rebuilds rather than feature releases. The recent 2.17.x line had introduced server-side ad insertion (SSAI with SCTE-35), a v2 WebRTC web SDK, and LL-HLS cluster play.
