HLS.js v1.7.0-alpha.0 marks the creation of branch patch/v1.6x for LTS maintenance and merging of changes slated for 1.7.0 into development (master).

See the HLS.js Release Planning and Backlog board for more details on planned work, the deployments page for canary builds, and the roadmap for overall release features and theme.

HLS.js v1.6.13 includes bug fixes and improvements over the last release.

The initPTS fix addresses an edge-case introduced in v1.6.6 with #7311, where hls.js began using MSE timestampOffset in place or remapping media timestamps.

The content protection related fixes address issues resulting from an expectation for a KEYID attribute or a key ID value in the EXT-X-KEY tag or its URI.
