Release 0.7.0
=============
Changes
-------
- Buffer partial log messages in the client API (the client API will now only
pass full log messages to clients).
- Remove ncurses/terminfo/termcap support (it was disabled by default and
replaced by new code since v0.6.0).
- Enable cdda:// support by default again (it was disabled since v0.6.0).
- Cascade-load input.conf (if there are several input.confs in the set of valid
config paths, load them all).
- Draw the OSD twice in 3D mode (this fixes subtitles display in 3D mode).
- Make wasapi the default AO on Windows again since many of its problems have
been solved.
- Use "site-functions" subdir to install the zsh completion script instead of
the Debian-specific "vendor-completions" (also provide the --zshdir waf
configure option for changing this value).
- Improve synchronization between the Cocoa GUI and the player (this fixes some
long standing deadlock issues on Mac OS X).
- Remove --fs-missioncontrol option (only relevant to Mac OS X).
New features
------------
- Enable pitch correction by default when playing at higher speeds (this can be
controlled with the --audio-pitch-correction option).
- Open stream and demuxer asynchronously (this should avoid having the player
get blocked on network streams).
- Add cache-buffering-state property for querying the cache fill status until
the player unpauses.
- Add support for listing and selecting the audio device (note that it is not
implemented for all AOs, see the --audio-device option for more information).
- Add support for a JSON-based IPC mechanism (note that this is not currently
supported on Windows, see the JSON IPC section in the manpage for more
information).
- Add Lua utility function for starting processes (see utils.subprocess() in the
manpage).
- Add Lua utility function for parsing JSON (see utils.parse_json() in the
manpage).
- Add field-dominance property (see --field-dominance option).
- Add video-rotate property (see --video-rotate option).
- Add playback-abort property for querying whether playback is stopped or is to
be stopped.
- Add cursor-autohide property (see --cursor-autohide option).
- Add vo-configured property for querying whether a window is created.
- Add support for dxva2 hardware acceleration on Windows.
- Drop libquvi support (this has been replaced by a built-in Lua script that
invokes the youtube-dl tool, which needs to be installed, see the --ytdl
option).
- Add support for loading chapters from an external file (see the
--chapters-file option).
- Add window-minimized property for querying whether the window is minimized
(works for X11 only).
- Make it possible to configure the OSC seekbar style (see the "seekbarstyle"
OSC option).
- Add support for libmpv on Mac OS X (it used to be broken, now it's fully
functional and also provides support for embedding the mpv window inside a
Cocoa/Qt application).
- Try to use the audio channel map reported by ALSA in the alsa AO.
- Add option to disable text OSD rendering completely (useful for working around
certain fontconfig issues, see the --use-text-osd option).
