Release 0.28.0
==============

This release needs recent FFmpeg (newer than 3.4) due to major refactoring.
Required library versions:

  * libavutil >= 56.6.100
  * libavcodec >= 58.7.100
  * libavformat >= 58.0.102
  * libswscale >= 5.0.101
  * libavfilter >= 7.0.101
  * libswresample >= 3.0.100

The LGPL 2.1+ relicensing process is now mostly complete. The remaining GPL-only
code (see Copyright file) can be disabled at build time by using --enable-lgpl.

Features
--------

Added
~~~~~

- Add DRM_PRIME Format Handling and Display for RockChip MPP decoders
- csputils: Add support for Display P3 primaries
- demux: support multiple seekable cached ranges, display cache ranges on OSC
- demux_playlist: support .url files (#5107)
- dvb: Add multiple frontends support (up to 8)
- dvb: implement parsing of modulation for VDR-style channels config
- hwdec: add mediacodec hardware decoder for IMGFMT_MEDIACODEC frames,
  rename mediacodec to mediacodec-copy

- vd_lavc: add support for nvdec hwaccel
- vo_gpu: add android opengl backend
- vo_gpu: initial d3d11 support
- vo_gpu: vulkan support


Removed
~~~~~~~

- af: remove deprecated audio filters (channels, equalizer, pan, volume;
  replacements in lavfi)
- vf: remove most GPL video filters (crop, dsize, expand, flip, gradfun, mirror,
  noformat, pullup, rotate, scale, stereo3d, yadif; replacements in lavfi)
- vf_buffer: remove this filter
- video: remove automatic stereo3d filter insertion
- vo_gpu: remove hwdec_vaglx interop

- demux: bump the demuxer cache readahead duration to 10 hours
- demux: use seekable cache for network by default, bump prefetch limit
- msg: make --msg-level affect --log-file too
- player/misc.c: allow both --length and --end to control play endpoint
- player: match subtitles with language tags with --sub-auto=exact
- rename --opengl-hwdec-interop to --gpu-hwdec-interop (now mostly useless)
- vd_lavc: prefer nvdec over vdpau with --hwdec=auto (better codec and surface
  format support)
- vd_lavc: rename --hwdec=rpi to --hwdec=mmal
