v2.7.8

This iteration of BigBlueButton 2.7 contains a couple of security patches. Several client fixes and dependency updates were also included.

Important: We removed support for POST requests on join endpoint and also Content-Type headers are now required

In BigBlueButton 2.6.18/2.7.8 POST requests are no longer allowed for the join endpoint. To ensure they are validated properly, a Content-Type header must also be provided for POST requests that contain data in the request body. Endpoints now support a limited set of content types that includes text/xml, application/xml, application/x-www-form-url-encoded, and multipart/form-data. By default each endpoint only supports application/x-www-form-urlencoded and multipart/form-data, but individual endpoints can override this and define their own set of supported content types. The create endpoint supports all of the four previously listed content types while insertDocument supports only text/xml and application/xml. Any requests with a content type that differs from the set supported by the target endpoint will be rejected with a new unsupportedContentType error.

We welcome any feedback about this release on our bigbluebutton-dev mailing list

Note that BigBlueButton 2.7 runs on Ubuntu Focal (20.04).
