streamlink

The second ever release of Streamlink!

In this release we've not only set the stepping stone for the further development of Streamlink (documentation site updated, CI builds working) but we're already fixing bugs and implementing features past the initial fork of livestreamer.

The main features of this release are:

• New windows build available and generated via pyinstaller
• Multiple provider bug fixes (twitch, picarto, itvplayer, crunchyroll, periscope, douyutv)
• Updated and reformed documentation which also includes our site https://streamlink.github.io
