Release 0.4.2

Bug fixes

• Include changes from point releases in the release notes.
• Fix --cache-file operation when file size is unknown (e.g. when playing from a pipe).
• Don't sleep if playback is stopped when reconnecting for remote stream.
• Suspend read on vts change even if the requested title is not found when using dvdnav (dvd://) (this fixes a bug where the DVD menu was not shown properly after a DVD track ended).
• Avoid draining if the audio output is paused (this fixes a bug where mpv would hang when switching tracks when paused).
• Drop buffered audio when switching tracks or filters (this fixes a possible regression when using gapless audio).
• Reverse video rotation direction.
• Fix initialization of the input when playing from a pipe.
• Fix description of the --mf option in the manpage (the --mf syntax changed a while ago, but was not documented).
• Actually append entries to the end of the playlist instead of after the current entry with the "loadlist append" command.

New features

• Add "append-play" mode for the loadfile command.

Release 0.4.1

Bug fixes

• Fix af_volume bug that caused negative ReplayGain values to increase volume instead of decreasing it in some situations.
• Actually use "weak" as --gapless-audio default value (as documented in the 0.4.0 release notes).
• Fix cache resizing bug that caused seeking to not work anymore.
• Escape all colons in the options descriptions in the zsh completion script.
• Don't consume an extra argument with --ao/af and --vo/vf options in the zsh completion script (as side effect, the completion now uses --opt=val instead of --opt val).
• Allow client applications to call mpv_terminate_destroy(NULL).
• Make sure seeking bounds are within range with dvdnav://.
• Check the length of the last title too with dvdnav://longest.
• Properly flush buffers on DVD seek (this fixes some seeking problems when playing DVDs).
• Allow compilation without atomics (for compilers that don't support atomic operations).
• Disable ao_null latency emulation.
• Restore ability to combine mouse buttons.

Release 0.4.0

Changes

• Drop support for Libav 9 and earlier FFmpeg releases. At least FFmpeg 2.1.4 or
  Libav 10 are now required.
• Change cache options to take kilobytes instead of percentages, and raise the
  default values.
• Lower --auto-pause/resume defaults values to improve web streams playback.
• Use dvdnav support instead of the internal dvd implementation for dvd:// URLs
  (the old implementation is available under dvdread://).
• Rename some options to make them more consistent. Here's a partial list of
  renamed options:
  • Audio-related:
    • --audiofile → --audio-file
    • --audiofile-cache → --audio-file-cache
    • --channels → --audio-channels
    • --format → --audio-format
    • --srate → --audio-samplerate
  • Input-related:
    • --ar → --input-appleremote
    • --consolecontrols → --input-terminal
    • --media-keys → --input-media-keys
    • --joystick → --input-joystick
    • --lirc → --input-lirc
    • --lircconf → --input-lirc-conf
    • --mouse-movements → --input-cursor
    • --right-alt-gr → --input-right-alt-gr
  • Terminal-related:
    • --msgcolor → --msg-color
    • --msglevel → --msg-level
    • --msgmodule → --msg-module
    • --msgtime → --msg-time
    • --playing-msg → --term-playing-msg
    • --status-msg → --term-status-msg
  • Subtitle-related:
    • --ass → --sub-ass
    • --autosub → --sub-auto
    • --autosub-match → --sub-auto-match
    • --sub → --sub-file
    • --subcp → --sub-codepage
    • --subfps → --sub-fps
  • Video-related:
    • --aspect → --video-aspect
    • --fstype → --x11-fstype
    • --native-fs → --fs-missioncontrol
    • --name → --x11-name
• Remove global options variables for --tv, --pvr, --dvb and --cdda.
• Move post-processing support to a separate filter (vdpaupp) for the vdpau vo,
  and deprecate the old vdpau post-processing options.
• Remove radio:// support.
• Remove support for ASX, SMIL and NSC playlist formats.
• Re-introduce pretty-printing for module names with --msg-module.
• Load Lua scripts under $MPV_HOME/lua/ (default ~/.mpv/lua/) automatically
  (this can be disabled by using --load-scripts=no).
• Corrupt/broken frames are not shown by default anymore (this can be re-enabled
  by using --vd-lavc-show-all=yes).
• Automatically copy metadata from the input file to the output when encoding
  (this can be disabled by using --no-ometadata).
• Change --sub-file semantics: if multiple --sub-file are used, the subtitle
  tracks can be cycled at runtime and used with --sid and --secondary-sid.
• Make the subtitle font size relative to the window, instead of the video, when
  --sub-scale-with-window=yes is used.
• Change default ao from wasapi to dsound on Windows.

Bug fixes

• Fix tv:// playback with missing timestamps.
• Fix display of cover art inside audio files with the vdpau vo.

New features

• Add client API in the form of the libmpv library, which is intended to be a
  stable API to get some rough control over the player (this is not supported on
  Mac OS X).
• Add option for approximating BT.709 gamma for the opengl vo (similarly to many
  programs in the Apple ecosystem).
• Add support for non-BT.709 primaries.
• Add support for BT.2020 colorspace.
• Generate and install zsh completion script (disabled by default since it may
  interfere with cross-compilation).
• Add support for looping a single file (instead of the whole playlist) with the
  --loop-file option.
• Add VapourSynth video filter (this has various restrictions, which are listed
  in the manpage).
• Add support for ReplayGain in the volume audio filter.
• Add a --config-dir option to force config directory.
• Add support for GPU switching on Mac OS X.
• Add support for automatic selection of color profiles on Mac OS X.
• Add support for binding commands to sequences of keys.
• Add support for passing options to Lua scripts with --lua-opts.
• Add some filesystem utility functions to the Lua API.
• Add functions for observing property changes to the Lua API .
• Add support for creating a cache file on the filesystem with --cache-file.
• Add support for window dragging by grabbing with the x11 vo.
• Add option to write file name to watch later file.
• Add support for a "weak" gapless mode, and make it default (the old mode can
  be enabled with --gapless-audio or --gapless-audio=yes).
• Automatically detect network filesystems on Linux and Windows.

Release 0.3.11

Minor fixes. Most importantly, fix compilation with recent FFmpeg git.

Note: from this point on, the 0.3.x series of releases is unsupported, because 0.4.0 was released.

Release 0.3.10

Mostly insignificant bugfixes.

Release 0.3.9

Minor fixes.

Might fix the build on OpenBSD, but still will need --disable-asm to be passed to waf configure. (This problem doesn't exist on git master, but merging these changes back to 0.3.x would be too intrusive.)

Release 0.3.8

This contains some more workarounds for Mesa bug 66384 and related bugs, and as consequence probably fixes issues with mpv behaving badly when pausing vdpau playback.

Release 0.3.7

Minor bug fixes, including a workaround for a Libav 9 bug (or corresponding FFmpeg version) where seeking could trigger a crash.

Release 0.3.6

Various minor bug fixes.

Release 0.3.5

Bug fixes:

• switch to c99 mode to prevent gcc from messing up aspect ratio handling code
• fix --no-aspect option
• x11: fix a certain fullscreen problem with OpenBox
• wayland: bump minimum client libraries versions
• vo_opengl: fix context creation failure with some newer mesa drivers
• vo_opengl: color management fixes
• vo_vdpau: fix behavior with some weirdly behaving mesa drivers
