3.0.0

(2018-02-26)

BREAKING CHANGES:

• Removed support for passing in multiple videos to play one after another
• Renamed alpha to darkness
• Removed non-throwing play(). Use the throwing play() instead.

Features:

• Added a singleton called shared. Now users don't need to retain an instance of VideoBackground to play a video.
  • Users can still create new instances if needed, i.e. if needed to play multiple videos simultaneously.
• Add support for playing video from a local or remote URL
• Add APIs for pause, restart, resume, darkness, isMuted, & willLoopVideo
• Make playerLayer public to allow advanced control and customization
• Add setAudioSessionAmbient to play. Set to true by default.

Fixes:

• Add clean up code to play(), so multiple calls to it should work smoothly

• Added a singleton called shared. Now users don't need to retain an instance of VideoBackground to play a video.
  • Users can still create new instances if needed, i.e. if they needed to play multiple videos simultaneously.
• Added throwing APIs that throw a videoNotFound error that returns the video name and type in question.
• Added deprecation warning for old API.
• Added new public struct VideoInfo that contains a video's name and type.
• Added new API that takes in an array of VideoInfo, and plays them in sequence.
• Added some clean up code that gets called on each play(), in an attempt to reset state in the event of multiple calls to play().

Major Release: BREAKING CHANGES

• renamed class from BackgroundVideo to VideoBackground for consistency with package name
• class is no longer a subclass of UIView
  • instantiate an instance simply with let videoBackground = VideoBackground()
• only one API is exposed, play(). play() requires a UIView passed in. It will play your video on this view. Typical usage would just be to pass in the UIView class property of your UIViewController.
