1.0.0

New

• Example: drop a file into the desktop window to play it. The refreshed
  player adapts to narrow windows and keeps playback details in a separate
  panel. Use Space to play or pause and Left/Right to seek five seconds.

• Play and seek standalone MP3, FLAC, PCM/float WAV, ADTS AAC and Ogg
  Opus/FLAC without FFmpeg on Apple, Windows and Android. MP3 files can
  also display common embedded ID3 cover pictures. Android also
  supports Ogg Vorbis; Apple and Windows need FFmpeg for Vorbis.

• Play and seek FLV H.264/AAC, AVI and MPEG-PS, also without FFmpeg.
  With the FFmpeg backend, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 Part 2 and MP2 play on every
  platform; without it they depend on the platform's installed codecs.

• Windows: play and seek ASF (WMV/WMA) with system decoders, with or
  without the optional FFmpeg backend.

Fixed

• Windows: SDR video's colored edges no longer shift vertically during
  playback or after a seek.
• Android: affected H.264 decoders no longer stall for about four
  seconds and switch to software decoding on startup or seek.
• Software-decoded SDR video with FFmpeg uses smoother color
  interpolation, avoiding jagged color boundaries in low-resolution video.

1.0.0-beta.7

Fixed

• H.264 MP4s with B-frames whose muxer left out their display times
  (no ctts box) no longer jump back and forth between frames or drop a
  frame every keyframe interval.
• H.264 and HEVC MP4s whose keyframe index is wrong (it lists P frames
  or leaves out keyframes) now play from the start and seek to real
  keyframes without FFmpeg (the plugin's default on Windows). On Windows
  they showed a still picture until the first keyframe listed, up to
  30 s in, and seeks could lose hardware decoding.
• Windows: multichannel AAC whose channel layout is given by a program
  config element no longer crashes the app in builds without FFmpeg; its
  audio is skipped instead.

1.0.0-beta.6

Breaking

• LycheeVideo, and LycheePlayerView on Apple and Android, now draw
  text subtitles too. If your app draws subtitle itself, pass
  subtitleStyle: null (Apple: subtitleStyle = nil).
• Windows: LYCHEE_FRAME_D3D11_TEXTURE textures are reused for later
  frames, from 100 ms after the frame holding one is released. Keep the
  lychee_frame until you have drawn from it, not only a texture opened
  from its shared handle; the Flutter plugin already does.

New

• Add subtitle files and URLs (SubRip, WebVTT, ASS/SSA) to what plays with
  addSubtitle() (lychee_player_add_subtitle() in C): the file becomes
  a subtitle track, selected once loaded, its times counted from the
  start of the media. Tracks say whether they came from one (external).
  Files in GBK, Big5 or windows-1252 are recognized; pass encoding
  (such as 'Shift_JIS') for others.
• Shift all subtitles later or earlier with setSubtitleDelay()
  (lychee_player_set_subtitle_delay() in C).
• Style the text subtitles the views draw with subtitleStyle: font,
  size, color, outline, background and margin.
• Apple: LycheePlayer.subtitlePictures(width:height:unlessId:) copies
  nothing while the pictures on screen are still unlessId, so it can be
  called every frame; LycheePlayerView no longer copies picture
  subtitles every frame.
• PGS (Blu-ray) bitmap subtitles in Matroska and M2TS show without
  FFmpeg, the default on Android, iOS, macOS and Windows; before, only
  builds with LYCHEE_WITH_FFMPEG=ON showed them. DVB and VobSub still
  need FFmpeg.

Fixed

• Damaged or crafted files no longer crash the player, run it out of
  memory or hang it: Matroska (on 32-bit Android, armeabi-v7a), MP4,
  MPEG-TS, HLS playlists, SubRip and picture subtitles.
• Media can no longer make the player open what its source may not
  reach: an HLS stream from the network refuses local files as segments,
  keys or playlists, and on Windows no HLS playlist or IMSC subtitle
  opens a share (//host/share) on another machine, which would send it
  the user's Windows login.
• Live audio whose timestamps jump hours ahead no longer hangs the
  player; it waits in silence while the video plays on.
• Live audio no longer breaks up after a pause in the sender's audio or a
  change in its delay when Android, Apple or Windows decoders decode it.
• Video no longer stutters while the audio device starts or stops:
  pausing, resuming, seeking and switching tracks no longer hold up
  frames or other player calls.
• Software-decoded video handed out as CPU frames (Linux, Windows with
  CPU frames, hw: false) converts several times faster: 4K HDR no
  longer plays at a few frames per second.
• Builds without FFmpeg (Android's base AAR): fragmented MP4 without an
  index opens without reading every fragment, MP4 and Matroska without
  cues seek in a few reads, and poorly interleaved MP4 plays over HTTP
  without a new request for each switch between audio and video.
• HLS: fragmented MP4 segments play as they download, byte-range
  playlists no longer make a request per segment, and the next segment
  downloads while the current one plays.
• LycheeVideo no longer rebuilds five times a second while playing:
  LycheePlayer notifies only when its value changes, and
  LycheePlayerValue now compares by value.
• Windows: software-decoded video in Flutter no longer holds up drawing
  while its frames upload.
• Windows: HLS reuses its HTTP connection for playlists and segments
  instead of a new TLS handshake for each.
• Seeking in MPEG-TS, Matroska and MP4 over HTTP downloads much less: on
  Apple about a third as much for a large TS file, and it finishes
  sooner; on Windows about half; on Android it no longer downloads far
  past what it reads.
• Live HLS with subtitles no longer uses more memory the longer it plays:
  subtitles that ended over a minute ago are let go.
• MP3 audio no longer starts up to 70 ms late after a seek, nor Opus on
  Android up to 80 ms.
• Android: MP3 audio no longer plays 11 ms ahead of the video.

1.0.0-beta.5

New

• Live input reports how it plays: lychee_stats adds dropped video
  packets, late audio, audio silence, how far audio runs behind and the
  audio decoder, and the player logs them every 5 seconds.
• lychee_codec_supported() tells, before a stream opens, whether a
  codec can be decoded, in hardware or in software.
• Show players your native code creates in a Flutter Texture:
  LycheeHostTexture on iOS and macOS, lychee_host_texture_* on Linux
  and LycheeHostTexture* on Windows. Native code links the core as
  lychee::lychee in CMake (Linux, Windows) or through prefab (Android).
• getStats() (and lychee_stats) also report frames decoded, bytes read
  per track, the download rate, the startup time, rebuffering (count and
  time), seeks (count and the last one's time), how far video runs
  ahead of or behind the audio, the audio device's format and latency,
  the HLS variant playing with its bandwidth, and the audio decoder. The
  player logs when it rebuffers, how long seeks and the
  startup took, and a summary when it closes the media.

Fixed

• Frame counts in getStats() no longer start over after a track change
  or a decoder recovery.

1.0.0-beta.4

Breaking

• iOS, macOS and Windows: FFmpeg is no longer included by default, as on
  Android. MP4, Matroska/WebM, MPEG-TS and HLS still play; other formats
  need LYCHEE_WITH_FFMPEG=ON. Run flutter clean after switching.
• iOS and macOS: Swift Package Manager builds need Swift 6.1.

New

• Keep the FFmpeg choice in the app: LYCHEE_WITH_FFMPEG in
  gradle.properties, windows/CMakeLists.txt or the Podfile, or
  LYCHEE_PLAYER_FFMPEG in an .xcconfig for Swift Package Manager.

1.0.0-beta.3

• Android now uses an FFmpeg-free SDK by default. Native Android apps can
  add the optional lychee-ffmpeg package and call LycheeFFmpeg.load()
  before creating a player. Both AARs are published under
  io.github.boyan01.lychee on Maven Central, with sources and API docs.
• Android adds armeabi-v7a support alongside arm64-v8a and x86_64.
• HLS gains fragmented MP4, AES-128 encryption, adaptive video variants,
  alternate audio and subtitle renditions through the built-in demuxers.
  Android uses system HTTPS and AES support, including FFmpeg fallback
  streams and redirects from HTTP to HTTPS.
• Android decodes VP8, VP9 and AV1 through MediaCodec. Windows can decode
  VP9 and AV1 through the installed system codec extensions, and supports
  more audio formats without FFmpeg. The optional FFmpeg builds include
  dav1d for software AV1 decoding.
• Add fragmented MP4 WebVTT and IMSC text and image subtitles in HLS.
  Subtitle rendering is now text and bitmap only: libass is removed,
  and ASS subtitles display as plain text without styling.
• Fade audio around seeks, pauses, playback-rate changes and track
  switches, close gaps at loop boundaries, and retry an audio device
  that failed to start.
• Recover iOS hardware decoding after returning to the foreground,
  improve Apple decoding throughput and software H.264 startup, and
  correct HDR tone mapping on Linux and FFmpeg software frame paths.
• Fix HLS byte-range handling, early subtitle cues, transport-stream
  timestamp discontinuities and an FFmpeg HLS subtitle buffer leak.

1.0.0-beta.2

• iOS and macOS: the plugin builds with Swift Package Manager as well as
  CocoaPods.
• Styled ASS subtitles through libass on macOS, iOS and Android.
• Windows decodes H.264 and HEVC with Media Foundation first, FFmpeg's
  D3D11VA second, and ships a slimmer LGPL FFmpeg of our own; HDR is
  tone-mapped on the GPU.
• Linux ships our own LGPL 2.1 FFmpeg (GnuTLS, VAAPI) for x86_64 and
  arm64 in place of BtbN's. Hardware decoding through VAAPI is seen
  working on an Intel GPU.
• A hardware decoder that hangs is given up after a few seconds and
  playback goes on in software; disposing a player never blocks on it.
• An audio device that never starts or stops pulling no longer stalls
  playback: it goes on silently until the device comes back.
• Over an http server without range requests, switching the video or
  audio track resumes at the position instead of failing.
  LycheePlayerValue.seekable says whether seeks can move playback.
• Untagged HD video is read as BT.709; HLS discontinuities play through
  and MPEG-TS seeks land on the keyframe before.
• A hot restart clears the player's event callback, so no event reaches
  a dead isolate.
• Android is 64-bit only (arm64-v8a, x86_64).
• Fixes from fuzzing the MP4, Matroska, MPEG-TS and HLS parsers.

1.0.0-beta.1

• A rewrite: a video and audio player over a C/C++ core, with hardware
  decoding on macOS, iOS, Android, Windows and Linux. The API is new and
  not compatible with 0.x, which played audio only.
• Accurate seeking, playback rate with pitch kept, looping, track
  selection, text and bitmap subtitles, metadata and cover art.
• HDR video is tone-mapped to SDR.
• Android, iOS and macOS take the prebuilt core from the GitHub release,
  checked against pinned SHA-256s; LYCHEE_PREBUILT_URL names a mirror.
• FFmpeg is linked under the LGPL: apps must ship the notices in
  THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES, which the prebuilt core carries.
