Here is an update to mpv 0.41.0.
Release 0.41.0
==============
We are excited to announce the release of mpv 0.41.0.
Key highlights:
* The libplacebo based `gpu-next` is now the default, over `gpu`
* Vulkan hardware decoding is preferred over other APIs
* New context_menu.lua script for right-click context menus
* AAudio backend for modern, HNI-free audio output on Android
* Improved default color management for gpu-next, and handling on Wayland
* Color representation protocol support for Wayland
* Tablet input support for Wayland
* Clipboard writing support for Wayland and a clipboard backend for X11
* Ambient light support on Linux (using sysfs ALS)
* Built-in helpers to register mpv as a media app on Windows
