Introduction ============ This file lists all changes that can cause compatibility issues when using mpv through the client API (libmpv and ``client.h``). Since the client API interfaces to input handling (commands, properties) as well as command line options, this list is interesting for other uses of mpv, such as the Lua scripting interface, key bindings in ``input.rst``, or plain command line usage. Normally, changes to the C API that are incompatible to previous iterations receive a major version bump (i.e. the first version number is increased), while C API additions bump the minor version (i.e. the second number is increased). Changes to properties/commands/options may also lead to a minor version bump, in particular if they are incompatible. The version number is the same as used for MPV_CLIENT_API_VERSION (see ``client.h`` how to convert between major/minor version numbers and the flat 32 bit integer). Also, read the section ``Compatibility`` in ``client.h``. API changes =========== :: 1.4 - subtle change in X11 and "--wid" behavior --- mpv 0.5.0 is released --- 1.3 - add MPV_MAKE_VERSION() 1.2 - remove "stream-time-pos" property (no replacement) 1.1 - remap dvdnav:// to dvd:// - add "--cache-file", "--cache-file-size" - add "--colormatrix-primaries" (and property) - add "primaries" sub-field to image format properties - add "playback-time" property - extend the "--start" option; a leading "+", which was previously insignificant is now significant - add "cache-free" and "cache-used" properties - OSX: the "coreaudio" AO spdif code is split into a separate AO --- mpv 0.4.0 is released --- 1.0 - the API is declared stable
