Promote Voice Call Screen Sharing to stable and fix message loading issues
Voice Call Screen Sharing is now stable with the beta alert removed and in-room call interface enabled for all calls. Fixed silent background loading of entire room history and attachments, and resolved a reload loop when opening links to older messages.
Engine versions

22.22.3 - Deno:
2.3.1 - MongoDB:
8.0 - Apps-Engine:
1.66.0-rc.0
Minor Changes
- (#41954) Promotes Voice Call Screen Sharing to stable by removing the
betaalert from its setting and enabling the "In-Room" call interface for every call regardless of screen-share availability.
Patch Changes
-
Bump @rocket.chat/meteor version.
-
(#41454) Fixes the message list silently loading the entire room history — and downloading its attachments — in the background when a full-width contextual bar (such as the thread view on small screens) hides it
-
(#41499) Fixes a reload loop when opening a link to an older message (
?msg=): the room would flash the linked message and then keep loading until it hit the server rate limit (429) instead of settling. The room now opens positioned on the linked message, and when the linked message cannot be loaded the room settles on the most recent messages instead of retrying. -
