     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.
