This release drops support for OS X 10.7 and earlier.
Support for some optical media functionality (DVD/CD) is now disabled by default.
More parts of the player are now licensed under LGPL. In particular:
- OSD symbol font
- ass_mp, sd_ass
- common.h
- demux/packet
- demux_mkv (with minor exceptions), ebml, matroska.h
- sd_lavc
- sub/osd
Thanks to all contributors who have agreed to relicensing of their changes!
See 2033 for details.
Starting with this release, releases will be tagged on the master branch.
The release/current branch is thus abandoned.
