[Bruce Dubbs]

Release 0.39.0

We are excited to announce the release of mpv 0.39.0, with more than 5 months of development since the last version. This release brings numerous improvements and fixes across nearly all components.

Key highlights:

• A new select.lua script, allowing users to easily choose files from playlists, tracks, chapters, output devices, and more.
• A native replacement for autoload.lua has been implemented. See --autocreate-playlist in the manual.
• NVIDIA RTX and Intel VSR scaling are now supported via the d3d11va filter.
• Media controls are now supported on Windows.
• Track selection has been improved, especially for multi-component languages like fr-CA.
• A new fifth page has been added to stats.lua, displaying track information.
• Compatibility with dmabuf-wayland has been significantly enhanced.
• Multi-touch support has been introduced.

This release requires FFmpeg 6.1 or newer and libplacebo 6.338.2 or newer.
