1.23.0

Major Fixes & Changes

New Shared Web Sample

We refactored our engine integration samples to use a single shared web sample. This JavaScript web sample requires much less code, making it easier to understand and debug. See the 1.23.0 Upgrade Notes for more information.

Unreal and Unity Integration Changes

We moved the generic code for integrating the Genvid SDK with Unreal Engine and Unity to a dedicated folder in engine-integration. See the 1.23.0 Upgrade Notes for more information on upgrading your game.
