**mediasoup-client 3.10.0 has been released** and it comes with a new and much better browser detection system that makes it possible, for example, to use mediasoup-client in Safari on iPad in “desktop mode” with automatic detection (this failed in previous mediasoup-client versions).

In order to use the new detection API, the application should migrate some API calls to new ones:

1. Instead of using [mediasoupClient.detectDevice()](https://mediasoup.org/documentation/v3/mediasoup-client/api/#mediasoupClient-detectDevice), use the new [mediasoupClient.detectDeviceAsync()](https://mediasoup.org/documentation/v3/mediasoup-client/api/#mediasoupClient-detectDeviceAsync).
2. Instead of creating a `mediasoupClient.Device` using the [Device constructor](https://mediasoup.org/documentation/v3/mediasoup-client/api/#Device-constructor), use the new async [Device.factory()](https://mediasoup.org/documentation/v3/mediasoup-client/api/#device-factory) class method.

Obviously, due the async nature of the new APIs, some changes maybe needed in your application. You can no longer create the mediasoup-client `Device` instance within the constructor of your classes but instead need to do it within async methods or factory functions. Or if you have some async `connect()` or similar method in your class, you can create there the `Device` instance by using:

```ts
this.mediasoupClientDevice = await mediasoupClient.Device.factory();

```
