The Open Source Media Framework 2.0 is now available as a free open source upgrade.
The OSMF Adaptive Streaming provides two modes: i) Manual switching and ii) Automatic switching. As part of the changes, we have improved the automatic switch operation; added more information to the Quality of Service (QoS) information and history; enhanced the metric base, factory and repository; and finally optimized the rule engine to better handle bandwidth and other computer resources.

The new features include.
- [Best-Effort Fetch](http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/osmf.adobe/index.php?title=Best-Effort_Fetch) addresses common server-side problems of "liveness" and "dropout".
- [Doneness](http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/osmf.adobe/index.php?title=Doneness) allows your player to recognize the difference between HDS content lapsing because it reached the end of the bootstrap file, versus lapsing due to a server issue.
- [Customizable HDS adaptive bitrate algorithm](http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/osmf.adobe/index.php?title=Customizing_HTTP_Dynamic_Streaming), an advanced feature. [via [OSMF Wiki](http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/osmf.adobe/index.php?title=Main_Page)]
The adaptive streaming logic is very crucial for a good media experience, which makes OSMF 2.0 an important update.
