It is one of the largest release we've ever done.
Notably, it:
- activates hardware decoding on all platforms, of H.264 & H.265, 8 & 10bits,
allowing 4K60 or even 8K decoding with little CPU consumption,
- merges all the code from the mobile ports into the same codebase with
common numbering and releases,
- supports 360 video and 3D audio, and prepares for VR content,
- supports direct HDR and HDR tone-mapping,
- updates the audio passthrough for HD Audio codecs,
- allows browsing of local network drives like SMB, FTP, SFTP, NFS...
- stores the passwords securely,
- brings a new subtitle rendering engine, supporting ComplexTextLayout
and font fallback to support multiple languages and fonts,
- supports ChromeCast with the new renderer framework,
- adds support for numerous new formats and codecs, including WebVTT,
AV1, TTML, HQX, 708, Cineform, and many more,
- improves Bluray support with Java menus, aka BD-J,
- updates the macOS interface with major cleaning and improvements,
- support HiDPI UI on Windows, with the switch to Qt5,
- prepares the experimental support for Wayland on Linux, and
switches to OpenGL by default on Linux.

- Disbale mod-plug for the time being: libmodplug 0.8.9 is not yet available.
- Disable SDL_image (SDL 1.2) based codec. It is only a wrapper around some
image loading libraries (libpng, libjpeg, ...) which are either wrapped
by vlc itself (libpng_plugin.so) or via libavcodec (libavcodec_plugin.so).
