3.0.0

Features

• [BREAKING!] New default timeline progress style line. Line is semantically and visually the most appropriate way to represent current time. Doing it with a bar was sub-optimal as it collides with chapter and cached ranges so there was just too many bars on top of each other, making it harder to tell what's going on.
  
  This comes with 3 new options to control the line:
  timeline_line_width=2 to control the width in windowed mode
  timeline_line_width_fullscreen=3 to control the width in fullscreen mode
  timeline_line_width_minimized_scale=10 to scale the line 10x when the timeline is minimized so the position is more visible
  
  If you want the old progress bar back, just set timeline_style=bar.
• [BREAKING!] Implemented consistent scrolling direction among elements. Scrolling up now always increases the value. This affects timeline_step, speed_step, and volume_step. Set these values to negative to flip the direction. (#87) @christoph-heinrich
