The release of Archiving API to production. The release of the iOS 2.2 and Android 2.2 SDKs to production. Support for x86 is part of the enhanced OpenTok Android SDK, ensuring seamless usability and quality on the upcoming generation of devices that run on Intel's x86 chipset architecture. By prioritizing high quality performance on x86, OpenTok will support more endpoints in preparation for the continued rapid expansion of mobile device consumption in the global market. The Video Driver capability, available in the OpenTok iOS and OpenTok Android 2.2 SDKs, gives developers the ability to completely customize both the input and output of video to the client SDK.
