A complete changelog can be seen by running `git log v0.18.1..v0.19.0`
in the git repository or by visiting either
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/compare/v0.18.1...v0.19.0 or
http://git.srsfckn.biz/mpv/log/?qt=range&q=v0.18.1..v0.19.0

Note: Running mpv with different versions of the FFmpeg/Libav libraries than
it was compiled with is no longer supported. Even supposedly ABI-compatible
versions have been a source of trouble, and it creates far too much
complexity with little to no benefit, coupled with absurd and unusable FFmpeg
API artifacts.

Instead, mpv will exit with an error when such a situation is detected.
This simply means that mpv needs to be rebuilt whenever FFmpeg libraries change.
