Good question I don’t know but I think it has something to do with They want to target that version of the API that guarantees will have features that are present in that milestone release.

Regarding vulnerabilities, do you know any that were present in that version? I’m not sure about what you’re saying, but I think it depends on how it’s implemented. If they’re using old libraries it’s possible but if they’re using up-to-date libraries for the builds but just targeting the M94 release with respect to the interface for API compatibility they may have sidestepped any vulnerabilities in M94 binaries.

I don’t know the details, but does that concept make sense? That there is a distinction between the implementation and the interface.

I suspect it may simply be because the people who created this had a need for whatever features were in M 94 and wanted to target that to do the minimum amount of work to get a compliant implementation without supporting features they didn’t need.

I recently discovered that the main web RTC library for node doesn’t work with node stable currently (20x) so and has been seemingly not updated for two years and discontinued by the author so I went hunting for this and plugged it in today and it worked so I’m just sharing it here.



This is Sean, one of the co-founders of Roam. It was at M87 when we started our work. Our plan is to get it to current at some point, we just haven't had time yet and this met our immediate term needs. Some version updates were easy, some have API changes that require real work.

I would be happy to take pull requests, I'll turn on Github issues now.


Hey Sean! I'm Cris at Dosyago. Fantastic to meet you here and great to see the work you have done on this. It's good someone has picked up the torch for this useful library.

This is great news about your intentions for it! I'm glad you jumped on here and congrats on Roam!
