# Shaka Upgrade Guide, v3
|
|
|
|
This is a detailed guide for upgrading from any older version of Shaka Player v3
|
|
to the current version.
|
|
|
|
Shaka Player has been keeping strictly with semantic versioning since v3.0.0, so
|
|
upgrades from any older v3 to the current v3 release should be backward
|
|
compatible. Any minor exceptions or nuances will be noted here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### What's New?
|
|
|
|
v3.1:
|
|
- Ads APIs and UI leveraging Google IMA SDK (included separately by app)
|
|
- Low-latency HLS support
|
|
- Built-in CEA 608/708 decoder (mux.js no longer needed for this)
|
|
- Thumbnail track support
|
|
- UI overflow menu items now available as control panel buttons
|
|
- Network stall detection
|
|
- HDR & spatial audio metadata
|
|
- PlayReady support in HLS
|
|

subtitle format support

|
|
- Side-loaded subtitles in src= playback mode
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
#### New Requirements
|
|
|
|
v3.1:

|

|
|

|
|
