[HTML5 Video Announce] HTML5 library 1.6.1 .org update

[Michael Dale]

Here is an update on recent Kaltura HTML5 activity

== Release Urls ==

We should be updating html5.kaltura.org/js url with the 1.6.1 release in 
the next day or so. This release is mostly a bug fixing release. You can 
test what will be released here:
http://www.kaltura.org/apis/html5versions/1.6.1/mwEmbedLoader.php

Note the previous release 1.5 will remain available and unchanged here:
http://www.kaltura.org/apis/html5versions/1.5/mwEmbedLoader.php

Note: if your a Kaltura customer, you should probably be using the KMC 
embed code url, which is also being updated to 1.6.1 release as well :)

== Code Tools =

We have installed the mediaWiki code review tool. This helps keep track 
of svn activity so that we better manage code contributions and quality:

If you missed it check out the recent blog post on testSwarm. We have 
started putting more efforts into improved test coverage for our feature 
tests files.
