Not sure what kind of information would be useful here. mpv v0.6.0 has just been
released and that's pretty much what will get in jessie (there are going to be
a couple of bugfix releases before the freeze though).

The mpv package description has a short list of changes from mplayer2, but I
haven't touched it in a while so it may be a little outdated. If needed I can
prepare a better list of improvements vs mplayer/mplayer2.

Also, worth mentioning maybe is that a) mpv's command-line options are not
compatible with the mplayer ones and that b) since mpv dropped some old mplayer
code in favor of libav/ffmpeg features, there may be some incompatibilities
there as well (also, considering that Debian uses libav instead of ffmpeg, some
mpv features work better with ffmpeg or don't work at all with libav).

Cheers
