v2.9.0

Minor Changes

• Add backupCodecPolicy to TrackPublishDefaults - #1399 (@cnderrauber)

  The default policy of backup codec is codec regression for maxium compatibility, which means the publisher stops sending primary codec and all subscribers will receive backup codec even primary codec is supported.
  It changes the default behavior multi-codec simulcast in the previous version, will not break the functionality of the previous version but only cause potential extra bandwidth usage. The user can set the policy to multi-codec simulcast to keep the previous behavior.
