\list
+ \li The FFmpeg multimedia backend now links dynamically with
+ FFmpeg on Windows. Prebuilt FFmpeg binaries are provided
+ through the online installer. Windows applications that use
+ the FFmpeg backend must now bundle FFmpeg binaries as part
+ of their installer using windeployqt.
\li The new \l MediaPlayer::autoPlay and \l Video::autoPlay
properties can be used to automatically start playback when
a media source has been set.
