Version 1.01, released July 9, 2020

Brought up-to-date with recent improvements/fixes to the "LIVE555 Streaming Media" software.

Version 1.00, released April 6, 2020

Removed support for streaming using "HTTP Live Streaming" (HLS). This was always a hack; it is better to use a dedicated HTTP server to serve HLS segments, rather than trying to implement a HTTP server (serving 'virtual HLS segments) within our own (primarily RTSP) server.
If you are looking for HLS support, note that we provide a source-code demo application "testH264VideoToHLSSegments" that converts a (static) H.264 Elementary Stream file to HLS segments, and the "LIVE555 HLS Proxy", which proxies a live RTSP/RTP stream to HLS segments.
