Analytics Web Releases

• Only ECMAScript 5 features are used during modules bundling to enable support for older TV devices

• Update of internal dependencies and webpack

This release contains update of a way declaration files are generated. All declaration files are now bundled in one file and stored in the root of the package.

This change might cause customers who are using declaration imports similar to the following one to see compile time errors:

import { CustomDataValues } from 'bitmovin-analytics/js/types/CustomDataValues';

This can be fixed by importing everything from 'bitmovin-analytics' like:

import { CustomDataValues } from 'bitmovin-analytics';
