Able Player 5.0.0 is now available! For the most part, it’s the same as what I announced last month; with a few additional bug fixes:

  • Added a Slovak translation & fixed a bug in the handling of data-lang attributes(courtesy of Radoslav Ďurač),
  • Added documentation on using Jest with Able Player to run tests.

I also updated the Able Player WordPress plugin to version 2.4.0, with several minor changes:

  • Changes the structure of Able Player files, which are now pulled from the NPM registry.
  • Adds a feature to automatically convert YouTube Embed blocks to use Able Player.
  • Add support to reference videos via URL (Uniform Resource Locator) in the Able Player shortcode.
  • Added a new filter – ableplayer_capability to modify who has access to the Able Player plugin settings.
