## 🧪 new features

* support audio playback on *really old* apple devices c9eba39e
  * will now transcode to mp3 when necessary, since iOS didn't support opus-in-caf before iOS 11
* support audio playback on *future* apple devices 28c9de3f 95390b65
  * iOS 17.5 introduced support for opus-in-weba (like webp just audio instead) and, unlike caf, this intentionally supports vbr-opus (awesome)
  * ...but the current code in iOS is too buggy, so this new format is default-disabled and we'll stick to caf for now fff38f48
* ZeroMQ event-hooks can reject uploads 3a5c1d9f
  * see [the example zmq listener](https://github.com/9001/copyparty/blob/1dace720/bin/zmq-recv.py#L26-L28)
* chat with ZeroMQ event-hooks from javascript cdd3b67a
  * replies from ZMQ REP servers are included in the msg-to-log responses
