mediasoup-client 3.16.0 has been released. It comes with a new browser/device detection system developed by us.

In the past we relied on different 3rd party libraries to detect the browser model and version. Those have been:

- `Bowser`: [GitHub - bowser-js/bowser: a browser detector](https://github.com/bowser-js/bowser). This is not actively maintained.
- `UAParser.js`: [GitHub - faisalman/ua-parser-js: The most comprehensive, compact, and up-to-date JavaScript library to detect user's browser, OS, CPU, and device type/model. Also detect bots, apps, and more. Runs seamlessly in the browser (client-side) or Node.js (server-side).](https://github.com/faisalman/ua-parser-js). Its license is AGPL-3.0 meaning that we cannot use it in mediasoup-client (MIT license), otherwise applications using mediasoup-client should also adhere to AGPL-3.0 license.
- `browser-dtector`: [GitHub - sibiraj-s/browser-dtector: 🌐 A Javascript library to detect browser, version and platform](https://github.com/sibiraj-s/browser-dtector). Also unmaintained and not very good.

Now we have written our own browser/device detection system.
