We are pleased to announce the release of shaka-packager v2.0.0!

It has been almost a year since our last release. We have put in a lot of effort in v2.0.0. We did a major code refactoring and added a number of new features. Here are the highlights:

Enhanced HLS support.
- Support for attributes RESOLUTION, CHANNELS, AUTOSELECT and DEFAULT.
- Live and Event playlists.
- fMP4 in HLS (including byte range support).
- DRM: Widevine and Fairplay.
- I-Frame playlist.
Enhanced subtitle support.
- Segmented WebVTT in fMP4.
- Segmented WebVTT in text, for HLS.
Support generating DASH + HLS manifests simultaneously (#262).
AC3 / E-AC3 support.
Experimental multi-period support.
Raw key multi-key support.
Write manifests atomically to fix possible truncated manifests seen on clients (#186).
[WebM] Fix live segmenter overflow if longer than two hours (#233).

Please see the CHANGELOG for a full list of changes.

We also have a cool new documentation site: https://google.github.io/shaka-packager/html/.
