This is a complete rewrite of Bino. All code is new and based on Qt6:

• Media output is handled by Qt abstractions instead of OpenAL, GLEW and plain OpenGL
• Virtual Reality support is handled by QVR instead of Equalizer
• Translations use Qt mechanisms instead of gettext

• Support for 360° videos, with and without 3D
• Simpler and more powerful VR mode, with autodetection of SteamVR
• Support for both desktop OpenGL and OpenGL ES
• GPU accelerated video decoding

• Scripting commands have changed, see the manual
• Multi-screen fullscreen now always requires VR mode, but is simple to set up with QVR.
• LIRC support is not built in anymore but can be achieved by writing scripting commands to a named pipe

• Cropping and zooming
• Parallax adjustment
• Crosstalk ghostbusting

• Advanced subtitle formats
• Separate left/right video tracks
