LiveKit keeps hardening its real-time core, this time tightening TURN auth.

real-timeinfrastructureauthenticationwebrtcmaintenance
◆Current state
LiveKit ships its real-time media server at a steady infra cadence, with v1.13.0 the latest tag. The visible work here is plumbing-level: authentication and connectivity rather than user-facing features.
◆Where it's heading
The single recent signal points at maintenance of the transport layer, removing legacy TURN auth behavior rather than adding surface. With only one entry in view, the broader arc is hard to read.
◆Prediction
Expect continued point releases tightening connectivity and auth; the backwards-compatibility removal suggests a cleanup phase ahead of a larger version.

    v1.13.0 drops backwards compatibility for TURN auth without TTL

    v1.13.0 removes backwards compatibility for TURN authentication without a TTL, a breaking connectivity change operators must check before upgrading. It fits the product's pattern of incremental transport-layer hardening rather than new capability.
