Preamble

This changelog file keeps track of changes made to the linphone-sdk project, which is a only an unbrella project that bundles liblinphone and its dependencies as git submodules. Please refer to CHANGELOG.md files of submodules (mainly: liblinphone, mediastreamer2, ortp) for the actual changes made to these components.

Added

• RNNoise dependency for noise suppression feature.

Changes

• MAJOR CHANGE: most git submodules have been removed and incororated within the linphone-sdk git project. Only external dependencies remain as git submodule within the linphone-sdk project. The switch to release/5.5 branch requires manual removal of former submodules, because git is not able to this task automatically. For that reason, doing a fresh git clone of the linphone-sdk is the recommended solution.
