[nickygerritsen]

What about #2709 ?

[gkatsev]

@nickygerritsen yep, that sounds like a good one to have as well.

[chemoish]

@gkatsev Would it be possible to consider #2678?

[gkatsev]

@chemoish yes, though, I think it's unlikely to get into 5.1. Probably 5.2.

[misteroneill]

I opened #2754, which is similar to #2718, but more comprehensive and exposes more DOM methods (and adds a couple new ones).

[gkatsev]

Font 1.4.0 is now on the CDN as well.

[misteroneill]

I'm going to propose we wait on the exposure and addition of DOM methods for 5.2 to reduce distractions.

[gkatsev]

Sounds good to me, @misteroneill.

[richardbushell]

Is heff's Source Handler Options still scheduled for 5.1?
#2616

[gkatsev]

I think that we'll probably release 5.1 with what's above and then work quickly towards a 5.2 with stuff like #2616 and #2678.

[heff]

lgtm :)

[gkatsev]

Looks like #2689 will have to wait for a 5.1.1 release.

[gkatsev]

I published 5.1.0 to npm as video.js@next and to github. We'll take a look at #2689 and publish 5.1.1 and get that out as a latest release. Also, if people can grab 5.1.0 and give it a shot and report any issues, that'll be great as well.

$ npm dist-tag ls video.js
latest: 5.0.2
next: 5.1.0
