In BigBlueButton 2.6.17 we added a new configuration property for bbb-apps-akka package under `services` called `checkSumAlgorithmForBreakouts`. By default the value is `"sha256"`. It controls the algorithm for checksum calculation for the breakout rooms join link. In case you overwrite bbb-web's `supportedChecksumAlgorithms` property removing sha256 you will need to set a supported algorithm here too. For example if you want to only use `sha512`, set `supportedChecksumAlgorithms=sha512` in `/etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-web.properties` and also set `checkSumAlgorithmForBreakouts="sha512"` in `/etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-apps-akka.conf` and then restart BigBlueButton.
#### Removed support for POST requests on `join` endpoint and Content-Type headers are now required
In BigBlueButton 2.6.19/2.7.7 POST requests are no longer allowed for the `join` endpoint. To ensure they are validated properly, a `Content-Type` header must also be provided for POST requests that contain data in the request body. Endpoints now support a limited set of content types that includes `text/xml`, `application/xml`, `application/x-www-form-url-encoded`, and `multipart/form-data`. By default each endpoint only supports `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` and `multipart/form-data`, but individual endpoints can override this and define their own set of supported content types. The `create` endpoint supports all of the four previously listed content types while `insertDocument` supports only `text/xml` and `application/xml`. Any requests with a content type that differs from the set supported by the target endpoint will be rejected with a new `unsupportedContentType` error.
