==============

Features
--------

Added
~~~~~

Removed
~~~~~~~

- Remove video equalizer handling from vo_direct3d, vo_sdl, vo_vaapi, and vo_xv (GPL, not worth the effort to support legacy VOs)

- player: make --lavfi-complex changeable at runtime
- vf_eq: remove this filter (GPL; uses libavfilter’s eq filter now, with changed semantics)
- video: change --deinterlace behavior
- vo_opengl: generalize HDR tone mapping to gamut mapping, --hdr-tone-mapping → --tone-mapping


Removed
~~~~~~~

- --field-dominance (GPL-only author, no chance of relicensing)
