IE11: ⚠️ This release has an issue with IE11 which has been addressed in v0.10.1. Please use that version instead if it concerns you.
TLDR
Many stability and efficiency fixes. Also, a lot of work done around subtitles.
Also: Improved alternate audio-track support, proper support for backup audio/video-track fallback behavior by media-group-IDs (so that e.g the same-level video-stream of the new group ID will be used in case of audio-fallback and vice-versa), support for various mp4 suffixes, no more unnecessary buffer-stall errors, and a few more things.
Note
While we didn't want to hold back on releasing the current stable state, issues related to gaps at start, seeking into gaps, and buffer-stall errors on seeking are still present in this release (regression from 0.8.x). We are planning to address them with the necessary time, as this requires a clean solution in order to avoid another regression in the area. We are hoping to release 0.10.1 asap with a fix for them:
