### v0.35.0

- Date: 2022-11-12
- Version: v0.35.0
- Original notes: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/releases/tag/v0.35.0

- Labels: Platforms: Desktop

This release requires FFmpeg 4.0 or newer.

For packagers: Note that mpv's build system is only supported on Python 3. If you use the `bootstrap.py` script it will take care of this, otherwise you need to explicitly invoke the build system using `python3 waf`.

This release adds the Meson build system as an alternative to waf. It is supposed to be feature-complete but please report any issues you encounter.
