Noteworthy Changes:

• IMPORTANT: The Screensharing whitelist is no longer needed to share your screen or windows. Please let us know if you find any problems!
  • Much of this work was front-end, UX/UI changes, including support to let the UI know what streams are "scary" to share (see bug 1284910). See the meta bug 1127522 for all the work that went into this.
  • Please read Jan-Ivar's blog post explaining the risks that users need to know about when sharing their screen or windows: https://blog.mozilla.org/webrtc/share-browser-windows-entire-screen-sites-trust/.
  • The new UI permission dialog for screensharing links to a SUMO article which is currently identical to Jan-Ivar's post, but our SUMO team will be tailoring it to a less technical user before Fx 52 goes to Beta.

• Added DTMF support. See bug 1291715, bug 1291714, bug 1313406

• Make Pulse Audio a hard dependency on Linux so that we reduce the problems and maintenance associated with maintaining multiple audio backends. See bug 1247056.

• Renegotiation and track replacement were dropping the video resolution to CIF in previous releases. That is fixed by bug 1303279 and bug 1307507

• Added support for ICE disconnected connection state, by monitoring timeouts for ICE consent requests. See bug 852665

• Added mediaDevices.ondevicechange support to Windows and Linux and enabled it by default. See bug 1297337 and {{bug|1300468}. (NOTE: Support for Mac was added in Fx51, but it's not ready to be enabled by default).

• Almost all of the cubeb landings are to address issues with libcubeb on Mac and Windows or to improve debugging on future problems

• Implemented active/inactive state for MediaStreams and support for stopping all MediaStreamTracks. See bug 1208316 and bug 1301675, respectively.

• Implemented 2 updates to match updates to the Web Audio spec: one to use linear interpolation when computing SetValueCurveAtTime events (bug 1265401) and the other to support ConstantSourceNode (bug 1308432

• We fixed a lot of our WebRTCintermittent failures (too many to list here, but they are all listed below), but we believe this will make the product more stable for users
