What's Next?

The Release Planning and Backlog project highlights issues that are a top priority. Expect to see these in an upcoming minor or patch.

The LL-HLS project is still open. A lot of great feedback came in at the eleventh hour. The availability of sample streams and community contributions will be a significant factor in moving the project forward. The only features not implemented in v1.0.0 are "Hinted Part and Map Preloading" (EXT-X-PRELOAD-HINT). Bugs and enhancements will continue to be added to this project as necessary.

Some have asked when and if v0.15 will be released. While there is a version milestone set and a patch/v0.15.x branch in GitHub for that release, there has been no date set. Work on v0.15 has been paused indefinitely. Please test upgrading to this release. If something is preventing you from upgrading but still a problem in v0.14.x, file an issue explaining why upgrading does not work for you.
