Fishjam Release Notes: 0.25.0

Fishjam 0.25.0 is out! This release focuses on making cross-platform development smoother, adding a brand-new way for peers to communicate, and tightening things up under the hood.

React Native API unified with Web SDK

We’ve updated the React Native SDK with a new API that aligns with the Web SDK. If you’re building across platforms, this should feel immediately more consistent — fewer mental context switches, cleaner abstractions, and an easier path to shared patterns between your web and mobile apps.

Data Channels

We’re introducing Data Channels - a lightweight way for peers in the same conference room to send arbitrary messages to each other.

This opens up a bunch of new possibilities:

• in-call chat and reactions
• shared state / collaborative UI controls
• presence signals, moderation events, and custom app messages
• real-time metadata exchange alongside audio/video

Stability improvements and bug fixes

This time is no exception. This release includes a round of general stability improvements and bug fixes across the stack.

Happy coding!
