Twilio Changelog

We now group items on your invoice by product and country. We also calculate subtotals for you and place that information in the beginning of the product and country sections. This enables you to skim the invoice to see trends and subtotals without having to find where each section ends or do the calculations yourself.

You will find this design starting with your Oct 2019 invoice. This new design is in public beta while we work on other changes to the invoice design. To learn more about your invoice, please see Reading your Invoice.

Single Sign-On (SSO) for Flex is now Generally Available. Flex SSO is used to login each user into the Flex UI and it handles the authentication and authorization of all requests from Flex to Twilio's APIs.

Breaking Change: We have now deprecated our original SSO Login URL (preview.twilio.com/iam), and we recommend all users update their SSO configuration. Details on the required configuration changes are available in our migration guide.

Note: An earlier version of this update indicated the deprecated login URL would be disabled on April 1, 2020.

Flex now supports Single Sign-On Identity Providers that disallow iframed logins. For enhanced security, some services prevent accessing their login forms if they are loaded from within another webpage. If you embed Flex within another application, you can now safely launch your SSO login from a dedicated popup window and avoid iframe restrictions.

You can enable the 'Login Using Popup' feature and set your Single Sign-On configuration within the Twilio Console.

You can now use Flex Plugin Builder from within the Twilio CLI. The Twilio CLI allows you to manage your Twilio resources from your terminal or command prompt, and now it can trigger commands from the Flex Plugin Builder to create, test, and deploy your Flex plugins.

Visit our docs to get started with the CLI's Flex integration.

You can now use the Programmable Wireless APIs to transfer SIMs that have not yet been activated to and from Subaccounts.

Please refer to the documentation for more details.

Flex Administrators can now enable pilot and beta features within their Flex instance through the new Pre-Release Features Page in the Flex administrator view. Most Flex UI releases include a number of features and improvements that are enabled for all customers. This page lets you try out new features in Flex before they are Generally Available.

Pilot and Beta features are not covered by Twilio Support Plans or SLAs. You can learn more about support for pre-release features in our Help Center. Details on how to enable these features are available in our Pre-Release Features Guide.

This release of Video Android SDK introduces the ability to select the region to use when joining a Room. The default setting uses Global Low Latency (GLL), a latency based routing algorithm that selects the region with the least latency. If you don’t want to use latency based selection, you can specify any of the supported regions to connect to via this new API.

Refer to this guide for more information about region selection.

For full changelog, visit the Video Android SDK release notes.

This feature is already available for iOS. For more information, visit the Video iOS SDK release notes.

You can now submit and query Media messages by using the Conversations REST API, opening up a host of use-cases for Media in your application.

How can you benefit?

• Implement Chat Bots that send images and other files
• Send notifications or system messages with images from the REST API
• Detect and manage media files in your backend with the Conversations Messages resource.
• Intercept and decline or transform inbound media from your customers by capturing the onMessageAdd webhook.

Media support in Conversations

The Programmable Voice Calls REST API now accepts TwiML when updating in progress calls. Prior to this change, you were required to provide an absolute Url that Twilio would use to return TwiML from your application. This change allows you to provide TwiML instructions when modifying in progress calls thus simplifying your application. For more details on modifying live calls checkout Modify Calls In Progress.

We have updated the Programmable Voice Conference REST APIs to improve performance and resolve some minor issues. There were some corner cases where the behavior of the Conference REST APIs was either not clear or not working as expected. These include:

• When fetching multiple Conference resources, the list returned is now sorted by the date created
• When fetching a Conference Participant resource, the status field returned is now populated with the correct status value
• Updating a Conference Participant resource with an unsupported combination of the fields hold, coach, and announce will now return an error code

The full list of the changes and clarifications are documented here.
