1. Automatic control of audio devices within PlanetKit
   • Starting with PlanetKit 6.0, audio devices are automatically controlled within PlanetKit.
   • PlanetKit uses audio devices only when necessary.
     • For example, the microphone is not used when muted.
   • You can determine whether PlanetKit is using the microphone through the microphone indicator provided by the OS.
   • Supported call types: 1-to-1 call, group call
   • Supported platforms: Android, iOS, macOS, Windows

2. Flag to indicate cloud call recording activation status to the callee during call reception

   • LINE Planet provides a cloud call recording feature.
   • In versions prior to PlanetKit 6.0, callees could only determine whether the cloud call recording was activated by the caller after the call was connected.
   • Now, with PlanetKit 6.0, callees can determine the activation status of cloud call recording while receiving a call.
   • For more information, refer to the following documents.
     • Android cloud call recording - Check whether the cloud call recording is enabled for an incoming call
     • iOS cloud call recording - Check whether the cloud call recording is enabled for an incoming call
     • macOS cloud call recording - Check whether the cloud call recording is enabled for an incoming call
     • Windows cloud call recording - Check whether the cloud call recording is enabled for an incoming call
   • Supported call types: 1-to-1 call
   • Supported platforms: Android, iOS, macOS, Windows

3. Removal of response type setting applied when the peer enables a video call during a 1-to-1 audio call

   • Starting with PlanetKit 6.0, the feature to set the local user's video response type (pause or send) when the peer enables video during a 1-to-1 audio call is no longer supported.
   • Now, when the peer enables a video call, the local user's video (request receiver's video) will always be paused.
   • Please refer to each platform's release notes for related migration guides.
   • For more information, refer to the following documents.
     • Android enabling a video call from an audio call
     • iOS enabling a video call from an audio call
     • macOS enabling a video call from an audio call
     • Windows enabling a video call from an audio call
   • Supported call types: 1-to-1 call
   • Supported platforms: Android, iOS, macOS, Windows

4. Adjustment of API location for per-participant audio volume control in group calls

   • Starting with PlanetKit 6.0, audio volume for each participant can be controlled through the PeerControl class during group calls.
   • This means that the volume for a participant in a group call is set to a single value.
     • Prior to PlanetKit 6.0, the volume for participants had to be set for each subgroup.
     • From PlanetKit 6.0, even if the same participant belongs to two or more subgroups, the participant's volume can be controlled with a single volume setting.
   • Supported call types: Group call
   • Supported platforms: Android, iOS, macOS, Windows

5. Support for virtual backgrounds on Windows

   • The virtual background feature is now available on Windows.
   • For more information, refer to Virtual background.
   • Supported call types: 1-to-1 call, group call

6. Mandatory configuration of PlanetKitCallKitSetting when building call/conference settings on iOS

   • Starting with PlanetKit 6.0, you must configure PlanetKitCallKitSetting with an appropriate CallKit type when building settings for making a call, verifying a call, or joining a group call.
   • You can set one of the following options: no CallKit integration, integration of PlanetKit internal implementation, integration of the application's own CallKit implementation.
   • Please refer to the call-related documents in the Code examples.

7. Android target version update

   • Starting with PlanetKit 6.0, builds and verifications are based on Android 15 (API Level 35).
