  • #1022

Deprecated:

• The AbrManager configuration interfaces and plugin APIs which were
  deprecated in v2.2 have now been removed. Applications with custom
  AbrManager implementations MUST be upgraded to the v2.2 API now.
• The plugin interface for text parsers which was deprecated in v2.1 has now
  been removed.
• The remove() method on shaka.offline.Storage now takes a URI instead of
  a StoredContent instance. Applications which use offline storage SHOULD
  update to the new API. Support for the old argument will be removed in
  v2.4.
• The streaming.infiniteRetriesForLiveStreams config was removed.
  Applications using this feature MUST use the streaming.failureCallback
  config and the method player.retryStreaming() instead.
