Yesterday, version 1.4 of the Hangouts API for developers was announced with notable improvements, including enabling apps to determine age restrictions, control over who is displayed in a Hangout On Air broadcast and more.

 Googler, Matthew Nichols announced the changes in his post with the highlights of the recent release:
Today we’re launching v1.4 of the Hangouts API! With this release, Hangout apps can now (for example):

- Control who’s displayed in the local user’s default video feed
- Let broadcasters decide who’s displayed in a Hangout On Air
- Get locale information for participants in a Hangout
- Determine whether a Hangout is restricted to users that are 18+ years old

The full list of API changes in v1.4 is available in the release notes:http://goo.gl/DjmLQ. They're already live in the developer sandbox and in public Hangouts so you can start building right away!
