This is a major update to address most of the media streaming issues users have had. In addition, the update includes enhancements, bug fixes and security fixes to the browser.

It is a small update to address some media and web compatibility issues. Changes/fixes: Fixed an issue where media playback would not use hardware acceleration properly when using MSE. This would cause high CPU usage and/or choppy playback for HD video on e.g. YouTube. Fixed ES6 iterator chains to be spec-compliant. Fixed ES6 vector append calls and some related memory leaks. Added a workaround to reduce the likelihood of a potential rare (timing-critical) crash. Linux versions will follow shortly.
