Please refer to Avalon's github repository for information about the current release.The Avalon Media System team is happy to announce the release of Avalon 6.4.2.  
 
This release contains two new features:
 

• Adaptive Bitrate Streaming - Avalon can be configured to provide an additional quality setting, auto, within the media player. When auto is selected, the browser will automatically select the quality level best suited for the user's available bandwidth.

In addition, Avalon 6.4.2 has corrected minor bugs which will improve performance of the system.
