CHANGELOG
=========

There is no real changelog, but you can look at the following things:

* The release changelog, which should contain most user-visible changes,
  including new features and bug fixes:

  https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/releases
* The git log, which is the "real" changelog
* The files ``client-api-changes.rst`` and ``interface-changes.rst`` in the
  ``DOCS`` sub directoryon the git repository, which document API and user
  interface changes (the latter usually documents breaking changes only, rather
  than additions).
* The file ``mplayer-changes.rst`` in the ``DOCS`` sub directory on the git
  repository, which used to be in place of this section. It documents some
  changes that happened since mplayer2 forked off MPlayer. (Not updated
  anymore.)
manpage: move out the MPlayer comparison page Giving this such a prominent place is not really appropriate anymore. Most people seeing this would probably expect a release changelog, not something about MPlayer. Since the page still could be useful for former MPlayer users (in particular to avoid confusion with renamed options etc.), still keep it in the DOCS directory. 2015-02-05 21:12:11 +00:00			`CHANGELOG`

manpage: add initial documentation about changes Documents changes from mplayer-svn and mplayer2. Most of this should probably not be in the manpage, but on a website. But there is no website yet. 2012-08-07 20:24:29 +00:00
