Release notes for BBCiPlayer 1.6.1

- Change HLS playback to use HTTP 1.1. persistent connections which should reduce network load.
- Update to enable playing Listen Again in HLS (oct 18)
- Listen Again in HLS is broken again (403 forbidden) perhaps only for non UK (Nov 18)
- HLS and MP3 live stream now will show program metadata such as track info and program image (HLS & MP3 may be preferred for live streams due to v. small delay at start)
- Fix to reduce small pause in startup of DASH streams
- Fix to prevent "XXX mins delay" appearing incorrectly in program titles
Release notes for BBCiPlayerExtra 2.1.0
