Thank you for reaching out. Beta versions, like the 1.3.0-beta.1 that includes CallCompositeRoomLocator, are crucial for testing new features and gathering early feedback. They are perfect for prototyping and exploring pre-release functionalities, though they may change before the final release.

If the rooms feature is urgent for your PoC, you're welcome to use 1.3.0-beta.1, keeping in mind the nature of beta software. We're targeting to have Rooms reach General Availability (GA) by June 2024, offering a more stable and fully supported solution.

We appreciate your feedback and encourage the use of beta releases for early exploration.

For any further questions or support, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Could we leave this open until it's released?

I dunno how much value it would be to fix the documentation to use a pinned version of the library, or at least mention in some way that the CallCompositeRoomLocator is only available in 1.3.0-beta.1 - as we wasted some time trying find the right version following the public documentation

But yea, we are aware the api is in preview, it would be good to have access to a more up to date version, to lower any friction transition to from 1.3.0 to later version, but we understand why it may not be possible.

Thank you, @jahead, for your suggestion. We'll keep this issue open for now. We're aiming for a new beta release before end of next week that will include the rooms feature, with GA of Rooms targeting to be released end of June 2024. Your feedback about versioning in the documentation is valuable, and we're looking into ways to clarify this in future updates to prevent any confusion.
