Enhancements

• Added CEA608/708 4 channel support
  • Closes Issue #2329 (cc3 closed-captions) - Thank you @ranuser9
  • PRs #2550, #2645
  • Adds config options:
    • captionsTextTrack3Label
    • captionsTextTrack3LanguageCode
    • captionsTextTrack4Label
    • captionsTextTrack4LanguageCode
• Added renderTextTracksNatively config options (defaults to true) which allows for disabling the addition of captions/subtitle TextTracks to the video element for 608/VTT tracks
  • Rather than a new TextTrack being added for captions and subtitles, NON_NATIVE_TEXT_TRACKS_FOUND and CUES_PARSED events are emitted so that the application using hls.js can handle rendering of the track and its cue points.
• Added support for #EXT-X-SESSION-DATA tag in master playlist
  • PRs #1846 - Thank you @theifish
  • Adds sessionData property to Hls.Events.MANIFEST_LOADED event
• Added removeLevel() method to API
  • PRs #1846

  • Remove a loaded level from the list of levels, or a level url in from a list of redundant level urls. This can be used to remove a rendition or playlist url that errors frequently from the list of levels that a user or hls.js can choose from.

• Remove unnecessary files form the NPM distribution
  • PRs #2605 - Thank you @radum
  • Only dist and src files are included in releases moving forward
