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 TrueConf?

Mobile and calendar add-on tweaks dominate; the AI summarization story shipped last month is the real signal.

TrueConf's recent feed is heavy on marketing posts (Top Performer award, market overview piece) and small companion-tool updates — calendar add-ons, the Calendar Connector for Exchange. The substantive product moves are TrueConf 3.2 for Android (voice messages, PIN-protected app access) and, from April, TrueConf AI Server 1.0.2 adding meeting summarization on top of transcription.

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.

5.0

Mobile and calendar add-on tweaks dominate; the AI summarization story shipped last month is the real signal.

◆ Current state

TrueConf's recent feed is heavy on marketing posts (Top Performer award, market overview piece) and small companion-tool updates — calendar add-ons, the Calendar Connector for Exchange. The substantive product moves are TrueConf 3.2 for Android (voice messages, PIN-protected app access) and, from April, TrueConf AI Server 1.0.2 adding meeting summarization on top of transcription.

◆ Where it's heading

The on-premise video conferencing positioning continues to lean on enterprise-friendly extras — calendar integration, security patches, AI summarization that runs on customer-controlled infrastructure. Most of the cadence is incremental; the AI Server work is the only line of investment that could meaningfully change the competitive frame against cloud-first conferencing.

◆ Prediction

Expect AI Server to keep extending (action items, multi-language transcription, integrations with the meeting client UI). The core server and mobile apps will continue their slow stability-and-feature cadence.
