Test app features:

• Example player controls in the test app.

Deprecated:

• The following methods on Player are deprecated. They will be removed in
  v1.4.0:
  • getCurrentResolution() (replace with video.videoWidth & video.videoHeight)
  • getCurrentTime()/seek() (replace with video.currentTime)
  • getDuration() (replace with video.duration)

  • getVolume()/setVolume() (replace with video.volume)
  • play() (replace with video.play)

Broken compatibility:

• The license postprocessor callback is no longer given a Restrictions
  argument. See Player.getRestrictions()/setRestrictions().
• The suppressMultipleEvents flag has been dropped from DrmSchemeInfo, which
  changes the constructor signature. This flag interfered with key rotation.

Bugfixes:

• Buffer eviction no longer causes hangs on seek. (#15)
• Adaptation no longer causes hangs on looping and seeking backward. (#26)
• StreamStats no longer shows null for width and height before adaptation. (#16)

Features:

• The isTypeSupported polyfill has been removed and all EME APIs have been
  updated to the Feb 9 2015 EME spec. (#2)

  AdaptationSet for the purposes of language matching. (#20)
