* Removal of support for dead platforms

+ improved ``--vo=direct3d``, improved window handling)
* Better OSD rendering (using libass). This has full unicode support, and
languages like Arabic should be better supported.
* Cleaned up terminal output (nicer status line, less useless noise)
* Support for playing URLs of popular streaming sites directly
(e.g. ``mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...``)
-* Improved OpenGL output (``vo_opengl``)

* Make ``--softvol`` default (**mpv** is not a mixer control panel)
* Improved support for .cue files
-* Screenshot improvements (can save screenshots as JPG, configurable filenames,

+* Screenshot improvements (can save screenshots as JPG or PNG, configurable

* Removal of teletext support
-* Replace image VOs (``vo_jpeg`` etc.) with ``vo_image``
-* Remove ``vo_gif89a``, ``vo_md5sum``, ``vo_yuv4mpeg`` (the plan is to merge
- divverent's encoding branch, which provides support for all of these)
+* Replace image VOs (``--vo=jpeg`` etc.) with ``--vo=image``
* Do not lose settings when playing a new file in the same player instance
* New location for config files, new name for the binary. (Planned change.)
* Slave mode compatibility broken (see below)
* Encoding functionality (replacement for mencoder)
+ (Remove ``--vo=gif89a``, ``--vo=md5sum``, ``--vo=yuv4mpeg``, as encoding can
+ handle these use cases.)
+* Image subtitles (DVDs etc.) are rendered in color and use more correct
+ positioning
* General code cleanups
* Many more changes
