Release 0.13.0
==============

NOTE: The previous release changed the default format for youtube-dl and
removed some workarounds related to MPEG DASH support. However, the required
changes to FFmpeg code (FFmpeg commit 4ab56667594842283dc5ae07f0daba2a2cb4d3af)
are not in any FFmpeg release yet (as of 2015-11-10), so for now, playing DASH
streams requires using FFmpeg git master. You can work around this by using the
--ytdl-format=best option.


Features
--------

New
~~~

- SVG version of the icon (with symbolic counterpart)
- stream_libarchive: add multivolume support
- vo_opengl: add prescaling framework along with Super-xBR and NNEDI3 (currently very slow) prescalers (issue #2230)


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

Added
~~~~~

- command: add mistimed-frame-count property
- vo_opengl: add vsync-fences option


Changed
~~~~~~~

- command: make display-fps property writable
- options: enable mpeg2 hw decoding by default if hw decoding is requested
- vo_opengl: rename fancy-downscaling to correct-downscaling
- vo_opengl: correct-downscaling: enable also for anamorphic clips
- vo_opengl: rename "drm_egl" to "drm-egl"
- vo_opengl: disable drm-egl autopickup
- vo_opengl: never load vaapi GLX interop by default


Fixes and Minor Enhancements
----------------------------

- ao_alsa: fix 7.1 over HDMI
- audio: do not require full audio chain reinit for speed changes
- rpi: add support for codecs other than h264 (mpeg2 for now)
- vd_lavc: make hwdec fallback more tolerant
- video: fix playback of pal8
- video: multiple display-sync fixes
- vo: fix no-audio mode with interpolation enabled/display-sync disabled
