What happened
ElevenLabs released version 0.5.12 of its React Native SDK, introducing a new `multimodal_message` event to the WebSocket communication layer. This update also includes an upgrade to `@elevenlabs/types@0.6.1` to support the new event structure.
Why it matters
This patch allows your React Native applications to receive structured, multimodal data from ElevenLabs agents beyond standard text or audio streams. It simplifies the implementation of complex agent interactions that require synchronized data exchange or state updates via WebSockets.
What this enables
- If you are building real-time conversational interfaces, use the new event to capture and process non-audio data sent by the agent.
- If you use TypeScript, update your dependencies to leverage the newly defined types for multimodal messaging, reducing implementation errors.
