* Use Content Steering Pathways to manage Redundant Streams and resolve their errors
* Ensure correct Pathway penalization on Playlist loading errors
* Do not reload Content Steering manifest while media is ended or detached
* Make initial variant selection based on preferred codec rather than the first variant in the multivariant playlist
* Fix `minAutoLevel` and `ttfb` usage in abandon rules check
* Fix filtering of invalid video-ranges
* Log reason for ignoring start candidates with a particular codec
* Add rendition helper and move SCORE logic into getStartCodecTier
* Add support for MediaCapabilities video configuration filtering
FIxes#5707
* Add support for MediaCapabilities audio configuration filtering
Related to #5704 and #4072
* Add __USE_MEDIA_CAPABILITIES__ build const to remove MediaCapabilities checks from light build
* MediaCapabilities: Assume a framerate of 30fps since decodingInfo will throw with Level default of 0.
* Select variant with alternate video codec on video append error
* Use complete media-parsed codec name when determining if changeType should be appended
* Add `firstAutoLevel` to API.md
* Only allow large gaps to be skipped if start gap or all fragments in range are partial
Fixes#5360
* Fix adaptation and fragment tracking after fragment errors (gap tags)
#2940
* Relax TTFB timeout on manifest request
(Add support for LoadPolicy `maxTimeToFirstByteMs` of Infinity and similarly ignore value of 0)
* Add LoadPolicy API documentation
* Convert build packager to rollup
* Add an es module target (#2910)
* UMD build worker injection (#5107)
* Add ES5 syntax check for UMD builds (#5301, #5288)
* Add common rollup config
* handle `self` not existing (happens in nodejs. The check that makes sure the dist file can be required in node and not throw was failing because of this.)
* Disable coverage in CI
* Add `config.workerPath` option and "hls.worker.js" build output (#5107)
* Include transmuxer-interface id ("main" and "audio") in Web Worker setup and error logs

* Handle fragments and parts with a GAP tag/attribute
* Improve GAP fragment picking, post gap buffering, and level switching error resolution
* Cleanup FRAG_GAP error creation and inlcude current buffer length in forward gap buffer limit
* Fix gap jump over waiting for data stall when buffer length is larger than maxBufferHole but less than one second
* Warn when observing "seeked" event with empty buffer (Related to #5274)
* Handle forward buffering past GAP tags in alt audio Playlists
* Fix GAP tag handling with Redundant Streams
* Implement penalty box for Redundant Streams
* Implement ErrorController …
Add Error Handling Integration Tests
Handle missed probe transmux probe with with FRAG_PARSING_ERROR
Handle encrypted init segment and subtitle decryption failure with FRAG_DECRYPT_ERROR
Remove delay when retrying after timeout
Trigger FRAG_LOADING after request is made
ERROR event data type must include an error property
Add stats to network loader error callbacks to allow error handling to use request timing
Remove use of console.warn from mp4-tools
Add missing TypeScript type exports
* Remove console.assert statements
Resolves#5218Closes#5221
* Remove unused frag buffered monitor
* Add Load Policies and deprecate frag/level/manifest timeout and retry config options
* Switch on FRAG_PARSING_ERROR or continue trying fragLoadPolicy.default.errorRetry.maxNumRetry (6) times
Fixes#5011
* Switch on FRAG_PARSING_ERROR or continue trying fragLoadPolicy.default.errorRetry.maxNumRetry (6) times 2/2
Fixes#5011
* Do not reload level after calling stopLoad() and startLoad()
Warn on currentFrag context reference change and use currentFrag to maintain correct stats ref
Fixes#5230
* Implement ErrorActions and Pathway Switching
* Fix part timeout handling
Cleanup frag stats handoff
* Update retry rules to require http status or timeout error (deprioritizes retry on parse errors)
* Retry audio and subtitle playlist loading after failure on level switch when no alternate is available
