Hi everyone,

We are pleased to announce the release of Shaka Player v2.5.14 and v3.0.2.  We fixed 7 issues in v2.5.14.  v3.0.2 includes all the same fixes that are in v2.5.14, plus 5 more that only applied to the v3.0 branch.  Here are the highlights:

  - Fix missing build/types/core in npm packages
  - Work around stalling playback on Tizen 3
  - Fix hang while shutting down Widevine DRM sessions
  - Fix initial bandwidth estimate on Tizen
  - Fix src= playback on Tizen 3
  - Fix HLS discontinuity bug, broken playback with ads
  - Fix disappearing captions with certain input patterns
  - Fix missing captions when switching streams

v3.0.2 also makes a couple of changes to our beta ads API:
  - Proxy all client-side IMA events through the ad manager
  - Fire a shaka.Player.Metadata event on detecting ID3 metadata

Full details are available in the changelog.  The upgrade guides for v3.0 can be found here: https://v3-0-2-dot-shaka-player-demo.appspot.com/docs/api/tutorial-upgrade.html
