+ IMF: better support of IMF files EntryPoint and SourceDuration fields
+ MPEG-TS: EBP detection
+ Excel VBA example (32 and 64 bit), in contrib directory
+ Node.js examples added, in contrib directory
+ GXF: support of DVCPRO HD
+ GXF: Media Type is reported
+ HEVC: added support of scaling_list_data
+ HEVC: deactivated general_profile_compatibility_flag validity test because some encoders do not implement it correctly
+ MPEG-4/MOV: Speed improvement, especially for full parsing of 100+ GB files.
+ File reading: Speed improvement of big files, especially for full parsing, with the help of a dedicated reading thread
+ Java binding: adding support of memory buffer as input, example with InputStream class (from RandomAccessFile or from FileUrl, including Amazon S3 authorization)
+ PTX: more files are supported
+ Ancillary data: more fomats are detected (OP-47 WST, OP-47 Multipacket, WSS, CEA-608, MPEG-2 Recoding Information...)
+ EBUCore output: update, with EBUCore 1.5 support
+ MXF: detection of Sony RAW SQ (by reverse engineering, not sure)
+ F432, AVI: detection of MPEG Video with Codec Id 0x02000010
+ AVI: detection of captions inside MPEG Video
+ MPEG-4/MOV: showing non-media streams (e.g. hint/rtp tracks)
+ #P81, HEVC: raw stream frame rate info, thanks to Kurtnoise
+ AIFF/Dolby E: detection duration of hidden Dolby E increased from 0.1 second to 1 second
x #B833, FLV: some (out of specs) files were no more fully detected
x #B828, HEVC/H265: parsing of final specification (vui_parameters() specs were modified)
x #B835, HEVC/H265: bug fixes, thanks to KP Lau
x #B838, AVC/H264: bug fixes, thanks to KP Lau
x #B831, MPEG Audio: files with MusiFile header/trailer are correctly detected (but header/trailer are currently discarded)
x #B836, XCode 5.1 compilation issue fixed, thanks to masterkain
x STL: better support of non-English characters during decode
x MXF: some properties were not displayed with OP-Atom files

x MXF: some video streams were wrongly detected as MPEG-2 video
x MXF: better detection of some weird cases with interlace JPEG-2000 content
x MXF: better support of files with more than 16 MB per frame (2.5 Gbps bit rate)
x configure.ac: removal of problematical typos, thanks to Dmitrij D. Czarkoff
x Files with the wrong extension: the file was sometimes fully read (very slow!)
x AVI: Huge files (2GB+, with OpenDML) were sometimes parsed slowly
x MOV: better display of metadata when tvsh atom is present
x AC-3: some dependent streams ere not correctly detected
