v2.25 (June 7th, 2021)
PUN2: v2.31 (931c31a) [RT/lib:4.1.6.0]
PhotonVoiceApi: revision 6086
CHANGED: [BREAKING] Voice.AudioInEnumerator code changed, some methods and a property were removed.
REMOVED: [BREAKING] obsolete method Recorder.Init(VoiceClient, Object).
FIXED: Speaker.OnRemoteVoiceInfo (linking) return value (Initialized & either (should not start playback OR playbak started).
ADDED: Recorder.PhotonMicrophoneDeviceIdString in UWP/WSA context as ID is string in this case and not int.
ADDED: generic unified Recorder.MicrophoneDevice to get or set microphone device (using enumerator via Recorder.MicrophonesEnumerator) no matter the microphone type.
CHANGED: Recorder.PhotonMicrophoneEnumerator is now obsolete, use the new generic unified non-static Recorder.MicrophonesEnumerator which works for all microphone types even Unity one.
ADDED: Unity.AudioInEnumerator as Unity microphone type devices can now have its own enumerator (wrapper around UnityEnginer.Microphone.devices)
ADDED: [Editor only] shortcut editor button from Recorder inspector to add WebRtcAudioDsp component if missing and supported.
FIXED: [DemoVoiceUI] hide Photon mic toggle when platform does not support Photon mic type.
FIXED: WebRtcAudioDsp.AEC was being ignored on iOS & Android.
ADDED: support for native microphone capture (a.k.a Photon microphone type) for UWP/WSA via native plugin, it also supports microphone enumeration.
CHANGED: WebRtcAudioDsp auto self disable (and log error) on platforms not supported. Inspector will show message if target platform is not supported.
FIXED: minor, extra misleading debug log removed, OnApplicationFocus should call HandleApplicationPause and not OnApplicationPause.
CHANGED: Recorder.AutoStart won't happen if recorder was previously stopped explicitly using Recorder.StopRecording().
CHANGED: Recorder.AutoStart will cause recording to start if set to true and conditions are met.
FIXED: warning due to auto start recording attempt when it's not expected.
CHANGED: Speaker playback is now handled via Service calls inside VoiceConnection.Update for linked speakers only. (used to be via coroutine inside Speaker itself) This fixes playback when Speaker is not enabled or not active in the hierarchy and Speaker.PlaybackOnlyWhenEnabled is false.
FIXED: inverted condition in Speaker.StartPlaying which could cause playback to not start.
ADDED: [MAJOR CHANGE] Recorder.RecordOnlyWhenJoined and all necessary code. Default is true. The recorder's AutoStart will be 'delayed' so PUN integration (PhotonVoiceView has time to set recorder.UserData) and permission request work properly.
FIXED: [DemoVoiceUI] potential NullReferenceException in RemoteSpeakerUI.OnDestroy.
ADDED: [Editor only] VoiceConnection and PhotonVoiceNetwork inspector will display asset version info on top. Unfold it to get Photon Voice version, etc.
CHANGED: [Editor only] extra logging parameter IgnoreGlobalLogLevel hidden by default in VoiceComponent inspectors, main built-in components show it via custom editors.
CHANGED: [PUN Intregration] Voice client uses the same SerializationProtocol as PUN client.
REMOVED: [Editor only] ExitPlayModeOnScriptCompile editor script as no longer needed in Unity 2018.x.
REMOVED: unused third party utility script SavWav.cs.

NOTE: [BREAKING] a client workaround used to connect to self-hosted Photon Server v4 is removed. You now need to explicitly set the LoadBalancingClient.SerializationProtocol to 1.6 before connecting to self-hosted Photon Server v4. v5 is OK. (See PUN2's changelog for more details)
FIXED: [Editor only] minor, two more CS0649 warnings.
ADDED: [VoicePunDemo] a workaround to avoid NullReferenceException.
CHANGED: [VoicePunDemo] CrossPlatformInput StandardAssets updated.

ADDED: [BREAKING] PhotonVoiceNetwork.UsePunAuthValues (default true): if used Photon Voice client will use the same AuthValues as PUN client. AuthMode and EncrytionMode are applied also now.
ADDED: PlaybackDelaySettings which makes old PlayDelayMs/GlobalPlaybackDelay obsolete. Playback delay is now finetuned using 3 parameters. This should help fix the "high pitch" issue when player tries to catch up and does resampling.

ADDED: [Logging] info log entries when subscribing and unsubscribing from audio config/device changes callbacks.
FIXED: [PlayStation] Speaker.PlayStationUserID set before Speaker initialization. This fix is good unlike previous ones.
FIXED: [Editor only] Recorder editor exception in WebGL context. UnityMicrophone.devices (also UnityMicrophone.IsRecording) now returns a value instead of thrown NotImplementedException.
