What is SRS?

SRS opens a 7.0 line built on a Go proxy tier, and drops features it no longer wants to carry.

SRS shipped the stable 6.0 line's first release on 12 August and, three hours later, the first development build of 7.0. The 6.0 line is now in pure maintenance — the r1 changelog is seven merges of DVR, WebRTC and edge fixes. Everything new is in 7.0-d0: RTSP playback, RTMPS, IPv6 across every protocol, HEVC in both directions between RTMP and WebRTC, and HLS fMP4 segments for HEVC and LL-HLS.

What is Zoho Meeting?

Zoho Meeting ships steady weekly polish — almost all of it tightens the webinar email-notification flow.

Zoho Meeting maintains a weekly cadence of small fixes around webinar registration and notification email. Recent ships: prevent registration on canceled webinars, email registrants when a webinar is rescheduled, auto-send a post-webinar thank-you, notify presenters on new registrations and on analytics readiness, and copy presenters on the meeting-scheduled notification. The notification email templates themselves were redesigned in early March.

6.3

SRS opens a 7.0 line built on a Go proxy tier, and drops features it no longer wants to carry.

◆ Current state

SRS shipped the stable 6.0 line's first release on 12 August and, three hours later, the first development build of 7.0. The 6.0 line is now in pure maintenance — the r1 changelog is seven merges of DVR, WebRTC and edge fixes. Everything new is in 7.0-d0: RTSP playback, RTMPS, IPv6 across every protocol, HEVC in both directions between RTMP and WebRTC, and HLS fMP4 segments for HEVC and LL-HLS.

◆ Where it's heading

The project is trading breadth of legacy surface for a narrower, better-covered core. 7.0-d0 removes the embedded GB28181 SIP server, multi-threading, Cygwin, and most configuration hot reload, while introducing a Go proxy server and origin-cluster architecture alongside the C++ media core. Protocol coverage keeps generalizing — each release makes a codec or an address family a property of the server rather than of one delivery path.

◆ Prediction

Expect the 7.0 line to run a long alpha and beta train the way 6.0 did, with the Go proxy and origin clustering carrying most of the remaining work and 6.0 continuing to receive backported fixes in parallel.

2.5

Zoho Meeting ships steady weekly polish — almost all of it tightens the webinar email-notification flow.

◆ Current state

Zoho Meeting maintains a weekly cadence of small fixes around webinar registration and notification email. Recent ships: prevent registration on canceled webinars, email registrants when a webinar is rescheduled, auto-send a post-webinar thank-you, notify presenters on new registrations and on analytics readiness, and copy presenters on the meeting-scheduled notification. The notification email templates themselves were redesigned in early March.

◆ Where it's heading

This is mature-product maintenance work — operators get glue around the registration/notification flow they've been asking for, but nothing here suggests a strategic move. Whether Zoho Meeting is also investing in AI transcription, scheduling, or noise cancellation isn't visible from this changelog.

◆ Prediction

Expect more of the same: weekly notification and form-flow polish, plus eventual webinar-recording/transcription parity work as competitors raise the floor. No category-shifting move is signaled here.
