v0.35.0

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.
