- 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,

- updates the macOS interface with major cleaning and improvements,

- support HiDPI UI on Windows, with the switch to Qt5,
