Release 0.27.0
==============

Features
--------

Added
~~~~~

- Windows: handle media keys
- libmpv: options: add a thread-safe way to notify option updates
- vd_lavc/vo_opengl: support embedded ICC profiles
- vo: rendering API abstraction for future non-GL video outputs

- vo_opengl: add direct rendering support (--vd-lavc-dr)
- vo_opengl: implement (faster) compute shader based EWA kernel
- vo_opengl: implement HLG OOTF inverse
- vo_opengl: support HDR peak detection (--hdr-compute-peak)
- vo_opengl: support float input pixel formats
- vo_opengl: support loading custom user textures (#4586)
- vo_opengl: support user compute shaders


Removed
~~~~~~~

- Remove video equalizer handling from vo_direct3d, vo_sdl, vo_vaapi, and vo_xv (GPL, not worth the effort to support legacy VOs)


Options and Commands
--------------------

Added
~~~~~

- macOS: add --no-native-fs option to disable the native macOS fullscreen (#4014)

Changed
~~~~~~~

- input: use mnemonic names for mouse buttons, same as Qt: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qt.html#MouseButton-enum
- options: change --loop semantics
- player: make --lavfi-complex changeable at runtime
- vf_eq: remove this filter (GPL; uses libavfilter’s eq filter now, with changed semantics)
- video: change --deinterlace behavior
- vo_opengl: generalize HDR tone mapping to gamut mapping, --hdr-tone-mapping → --tone-mapping


Removed
~~~~~~~

- --field-dominance (GPL-only author, no chance of relicensing)
- input: drop deprecated "osd" command
- options: drop --video-aspect-method=hybrid (GPL-only)
