+
+3.1.5
+-----
+Fixes:
+- The player went to a locked state when resuming playback after a period that was long enought to send the
+netConnection to an invalid state. Now when resuming playback on an invalid connection the clip starts again from
+the beginning. This is only when using RTMP connections and does not affect progressive download playback.
+- Custom netConnect and netStream events did not pass the info object to JS listeners
+
+3.1.4
+-----
+Fixes:
+- player did not initialize if the controlbar plugin was disabled and if the play button overlay was disabled with play: null
+- works properly without cachebusting on IE
+- RSS playlist parsing now respects the isDefault attribute used in mRSS media group items
+- Fixed passing of connection arguments
+
+3.1.3
+-----
+- enhancements to RSS playlist parsing: Now skips all media:content that have unsupported types. Now the type attribute
+of the media:content element is mandatory and has to be present in the RSS file
+- Possibility to pass a RSS file name with playFeed("playlist.rss") and setPlaylist("playlist.rss") calls.
+- changes to the ConnectionProvider and URLResolver APIs
+- Now automatically uses a plugin that is called 'rtmp' for all clips that have the rtmp-protocol in their URLs.
+- Added possibility to specify all clip properties in an RSS playlist
+
+Fixes:
+- the result of URL resolvers in now cached, and the resolvers will not be used again when a clip is replayed
+- some style properties like 'backgroundGradient' had no effect in config
+- video goes tiny on Firefox: http://flowplayer.org/forum/8/23226
+- RSS playlists: The 'type' attribute value 'audio/mp3' in the media:content element caused an error.
+- Dispatches onMetadata() if an URL resolver changes the clip URL (changes to a different file)
+- error codes and error message were not properly passed to onEvent JS listeners
+
+3.1.2
+-----
+- The domain of the logo url must the same domain from where the player SWF is loaded from.
+- Fullscreen can be toggled by doublclick on the video area.
+Fixes:
+- Player was not initialized correctly when instream playlists were used and the provider used in the instream clips was defined in the common clip.
+- A separator in the Context Menu made the callbacks in the following menu items out of order. Related forum post: http://flowplayer.org/forum/8/22541
+- the width and height settings of a logo were ignored if the logo was a sWF file
+- volume control and mute/unmute were not working after an instream clip had been played
+- now possible to use RTMP for mp3 files
+- Issue 12: cuepointMultiplier was undefined in the clip object set to JS event listeners
+- Issue 14: onBeforeStop was unnecessarily fired when calling setPlaylist() and the player was not playing,
+ additionally onStop was never fired even if onBeforeStop was
+- fixed screen vertical placement problems that reappeared with 3.1.1
+- The rotating animation now has the same size and position as it has after initialized
+
+3.1.1
+-----
+- External configuration files
+- Instream playback
+- Added toggleFullscreen() the API
+- Possibility to specify controls configuration in clips
+- Seek target position is now sent in the onBeforeSeek event
+Fixes:
+- The screen size was initially too small on Firefox (Mac)
+- Did not persist a zero volume value: http://www.flowplayer.org/forum/8/18413
+
+3.1.0
+-----
+New features:
+- clip's can have urlResolvers and connectionProviders
+- Added new configuration options 'connectionCallbacks' and 'streamCallbacks'. Both accept an Array of event names as a value.
+ When these events get fired on the connection or stream object, corresponding Clip events will be fired by the player.
+ This can be used for example when firing custom events from RTMP server apps
+- Added new clip event types: 'onConnectionEvent' and 'onStreamEvent' these get fired when the predefined events happen on the connection and stream objects.
+- Added Security.allowDomain() to allow loaded plugins to script the player
+- Added addClip(clip, index) to the API, index is optional
+- Possibility to view videos without metadata, using clip.metaData: false
+- Now the player's preloader uses the rotating animation instead of a percent text to indicate the progress
+ of loading the player SWF. You can disable the aninamtion by setting buffering: false
+- calling close() now does not send the onStop event
+- Clip's custom properties are now present in the root of the clip argument in all clip events that are sent to JS.
+
+Bug fixes:
+- The preloader sometimes failed to initialize the player
+- Allow seeking while in buffering state: http://flowplayer.org/forum/8/16505
+- Replay of a RTMP stream was failing after the connection had expired
+- Security error when clicking on the screen if there is an image in the playlist loaded from a foreign domain
+- loadPlugin() was not working
+- now fullscreen works with Flash versions older than 9.0.115, in versions that do not support hardware scaling
+- replaying a RTMP stream with an image in front of the stream in the playlist was not working (video stayed hidden). Happened
+ because the server does not send metadata if replaying the same stream.
+- the scrubber is disabled if the clip is not seekable in the first frame: http://flowplayer.org/forum/8/16526
+ By default if the clip has one of following extensions (the typical flash video extensions) it is seekable
+ in the first frame: 'f4b', 'f4p', 'f4v', 'flv'. Added new clip property seekableOnBegin that can be used to override the default.
+
+3.0.6
+-----
+- added possibility to associate a linkUrl and linkWindow to the canvas
+Fixes:
+- fix for entering fullscreen for Flash versions that don't support the hardware scaled fullscreen-mode
+- when showing images the duration tracking starts only after the image has been completely loaded: http://flowplayer.org/forum/2/15301
+- fix for verifying license keys for domains that have more than 4 labels in them
+- if plugin loading failis because of a IO error, the plugin will be discarded and the player initialization continues:
+
+3.0.4
+-----
+- The "play" pseudo-plugin now supports fadeIn(), fadeOut(), showPlugin(), hidePlugin() and
+ additionally you can configure it like this:
+ // make only the play button invisible (buffering animation is still used)
+ play: { display: 'none' }
+ // disable the play button and the buffering animation
+ play: null
+ // disable the buffering animation
+ buffering: null
+- Added possibility to seek when in the buffering state: http://flowplayer.org/forum/3/13896
+- Added copyright notices and other GPL required entries to the user interface
+
+Fixes:
+- clip urls were not resolved correctly if the HTML page URL had a query string starting with a question mark (http://flowplayer.org/forum/8/14016#post-14016)
+- Fixed context menu for with IE (commercial version)
+- a cuepoint at time zero was fired several times
+- screen is now arranged correctly even when only bottom or top is defined for it in the configuration
+- Fixed context menu for with IE (commercial version)
+- a cuepoint at time zero was fired several times
+- screen is now arranged correctly even when only bottom or top is defined for it in the configuration
+- Now possible to call play() in an onError handler: http://flowplayer.org/forum/8/12939
+- Does not throw an error if the player cannot persist the volume on the client computer: http://flowplayer.org/forum/8/13286#post-13495
+- Triggering fullscreen does not pause the player in IE
+- The play button overlay no longer has a gap between it's pieces when a label is used: http://flowplayer.org/forum/8/14250
+- clip.update() JS call now resets the duration
+- a label configured for the play button overlay did not work in the commercial version
+
+3.0.3
+-----
+- fixed cuepoint firing: Does not skip cuepoints any more
+- Plugins can now be loaded from a different domain to the flowplayer.swf
+- Specifying a clip to play by just using the 'clip' node in the configuration was not working, a playlist definition was required. This is now fixed.
+- Fixed: A playlist with different providers caused the onMetadata event to fire events with metadata from the previous clip in the playlist. Occurred when moving in the playlist with next() and prev()
+- the opacity setting now works with the logo
+- fadeOut() call to the "screen" plugin was sending the listenerId and pluginName arguments in wrong order
+- stop(), pause(), resume(), close() no longer return the flowplayer object to JS
+- changing the size of the screen in a onFullscreen listener now always works, there was a bug that caused this to fail occasionally
+- fixed using arbitrary SWFs as plugins
+- the API method setPlaylist() no longer starts playing if autoPlay: true, neither it starts buffering if autoBuffering: true
+- the API method play() now accepts an array of clip objects as an argument, the playlist is replaced with the specified clips and playback starts from the 1st clip
+
+3.0.2
+-----
+- setting play: null now works again
+- pressing the play again button overlay does not open a linkUrl associated with a clip
+- now displays a live feed even when the RTMP server does not send any metadata and the onStart method is not therefore dispatched
+- added onMetaData clip event
+- fixed 'orig' scaling: the player went to 'fit' scaling after coming back from fullscreen. This is now fixed and the original dimensions are preserved in non-fullscreen mode.
+- cuepoint times are now given in milliseconds, the firing precision is 100 ms. All cuepoint times are rounded to the nearest 100 ms value (for example 1120 rounds to 1100)
+- backgroundGradient was drawn over the background image in the canvas and in the content and controlbar plugins. Now it's drawn below the image.
+- added cuepointMultiplier property to clips. This can be used to multiply the time values read from cuepoint metadata embedded into video files.
+- the player's framerate was increased to 24 FPS, makes all animations smoother
+
+3.0.1
+-----
+- Fixed negative cuepoints from common clip. Now these are properly propagated to the clips in playlist.
+- buffering animation is now the same size as the play button overlay
+- commercial version now supports license keys that allows the use of subdomains
+- error messages are now automatically hidden after a 4 second delay. They are also hidden when a new clips
+ starts playing (when onBeforeBegin is fired)
+- added possibility to disable the buffering animation like so: buffering: false
+- pressing the play button overlay does not open a linkUrl associated with a clip
+- license key verification failed if a port number was used in the URL (like in this url: http://mydomain.com:8080/video.html)
+- added audio support, clip has a new "image" property
+- workaround for missing "NetStream.Play.Start" notfication that was happending with Red5. Because of this issue the video was not shown.
+- commercial version has the possibility to change the zIndex of the logo
+
+3.0.0
+-----
+- Removed security errors that happened when loading images from foreign domains (domains other than the domain of the core SWF).
+ Using a backgroundImage on canvas, in the content plugin, and for the controls is also possible to be loaded
+ from a foreign domain - BUT backgroundRepeat cannot be used for foreign images.
+- Now allows the embedding HTML to script the player even if the player is loaded from another domain.
+- Added a 'live' property to Clips, used for live streams.
+- A player embedded to a foreign domain now loads images, css files and other resources from the domain where the palyer SWF was loaded from. This is to generate shorter embed-codes.
+- Added linkUrl and linkWindow properties to the logo, in commercial version you can set these to point to a linked page. The linked page gets opened
+ when the logo is clicked. Possible values for linkWindow:
+ * "_self" specifies the current frame in the current window.
+ * "_blank" specifies a new window.
+ * "_parent" specifies the parent of the current frame.
+ * "_top" specifies the top-level frame in the current window.
+- Added linkUrl and linkWindow properties to clips. The linked page is opened when the video are is clicked and the corresponding clip has a linkUrl specified.
+- Made the play button overlay and the "Play again" button slightly bigger.
+
+RC4
+---
+- Now shows a "Play again" button at the end of the video/playlist
+- Commercial version shows a Flowplayer logo if invalidKey was supplied, but the otherwise the player works
+- setting play: null in configuration will disable the play button overlay
+- setting opacity for "play" also sets it for the buffering animation
+- Fixed firing of cuepoints too early. Cuepoint firing is now based on stream time and does not rely on timers
+- added onXMPData event listener
+- Should not stop playback too early before the clip is really completed
+- The START event is now delayed so that the metadata is available when the event is fired, METADATA event was removed,
+ new event BEGIN that is dispatched when the playback has been successfully started. Metadata is not normally
+ available when BEGIN is fired.
+
+RC3
+---
+- stopBuffering() now dispatches the onStop event first if the player is playing/paused/buffering at the time of calling it
+- fixed detection of images based on file extensions
+- fixed some issues with having images in the playlist
+- made it possible to autoBuffer next video while showing an image (image without a duration)
+
+RC2
+---
+- fixed: setting the screen height in configuration did not have any effect
+
+RC1
+-----
+- better error message if plugin loading fails, shows the URL used
+- validates our redesigned multidomain license key correctly
+- fix to prevent the play button going visible when the onBufferEmpty event occurs
+- the commercial swf now correctly loads the controls using version information
+- fixed: the play button overlay became invisible with long fadeOutSpeeds
+
+beta6
+-----
+- removed the onFirstFramePause event
+- playing a clip for the second time caused a doubled sound
+- pausing on first frame did not work on some FLV files
+
+beta5
+-----
+- logo only uses percentage scaling if it's a SWF file (there is ".swf" in it's url)
+- context menu now correctly builds up from string entries in configuration
+-always closes the previous connection before starting a new clip
+
+beta4
+-----
+- now it's possible to load a plugin into the panel without specifying any position/dimensions
+ information, the plugin is placed to left: "50%", top: "50%" and using the plugin DisplayObject's width & height
+- The Flowplayer API was not fully initialized when onLoad was invoked on Flash plugins
+
+beta3
+-----
+- tweaking logo placement
+- "play" did not show up after repeated pause/resume
+- player now loads the latest controls SWF version, right now the latest SWF is called 'flowplayer.controls-3.0.0-beta2.swf'
+
+beta2
+-----
+- fixed support for RTMP stream groups
+- changed to loop through available fonts in order to find a suitable font also in IE
+- Preloader was broken on IE: When the player SWf was in browser's cache it did not initialize properly
+- Context menu now correctly handles menu items that are configured by their string labels only (not using json objects)
+- fixed custom logo positioning (was moved to the left edge of screen in fullscreen)
+- "play" now always follows the position and size of the screen
+- video was stretched below the controls in fullscreen when autoHide: 'never'
+- logo now takes 6.5% of the screen height, width is scaled so that the aspect ratio is preserved
+
+beta1
+-----
+- First public beta release
