8.1.0-beta.1

Fixes:

• Correctly implement HLS specification for EXT-X-MEDIA and GROUP-ID.

8.1.0-beta

Improvements:

• Added comprehensive MPEG-DASH manifest parsing capabilities with the new FFMPEG::DASH module.
• Added support for converting MPEG-DASH manifests to HLS (M3U8) playlists.
• Added support for configurable base URLs and segment queries in DASH manifests.

8.0.0

Improvements:

• Added support for retries in the FFMPEG::Transcoder class. This allows for more robust command
  argument composing and thus more stable outputs.

Breaking Changes:

• The FFMPEG::Transcoder#process! method will now fail if the expected output files do not exist after
  successful processing. This behaviour can be controled by passing checks: [] to the transcoder
  initializer.
• The FFMPEG::Status::ExitError class has been renamed to FFMPEG::ExitError.
• The FFMPEG::ExitError class now holds a reference to the StringIO output of the FFmpeg command
  (before it contained the String representation).

7.1.4

Fixes:

• Handle 0 for height when calculating display aspect ratio (ZeroDivisionError was raised before).

7.1.3

Fixes:

• Ensure consistent bit rates for all video representations in the built-in MPEG-DASH presets.

7.1.2

Fixes:

• Removed -reconnect_at_eof from FFMPEG::CommandArgs::NetworkStreaming to prevent retries
  when processing a file that is not a stream.

7.1.1

Fixes:

• Removed invalid option -reconnect_on_timeout from FFMPEG::CommandArgs::NetworkStreaming.

7.1.0

Improvements:

• Added new modular way of composing ffmpeg commands using the FFMPEG::CommandArgs::Composable module.

7.0.0

Full Changelog: v6.1.2...v7.0.0

7.0.0-beta.14

Improvements:

• Built-in presets now use the closest standard frame rate to the input file
  when the input file has lower frame rate than the preset.
• Increased the keyframe interval of the MPEG-DASH H.264 preset to 2 seconds by default.
  This results in a more efficient encoding process and smaller file sizes, while
  still maintaining a good quality.

Fixes:

• Fixed some audio timeline shifting issues with the MPEG-DASH H.264 preset due to which
  some players would skip to the end of the video upon loading.
