+ <p>
+ A new major release, <a href="download.html#release_8.0">FFmpeg 8.0 <span
title="David A. Huffman">"Huffman"</span></a>,
+ is now available for download.
+ Thanks to several delays, and modernization of our entire infrastructure,
this release ended up
+ being one of our largest releases to date. In short, its new features are:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Native decoders: <span title="Advanced Professional Video">APV</span>,
ProRes RAW, RealVideo 6.0, Sanyo LD-ADPCM, G.728</li>
+ <li>VVC decoder improvements: <span title="Intra Block Copy">IBC</span>,
+ <span title="Adaptive Color
Transform">ACT</span>,
+ Palette Mode</li>
+ <li>Vulkan compute-based codecs: FFv1 (encode and decode), ProRes RAW
(decode only)</li>
+ <li>Hardware accelerated decoding: Vulkan VP9, VAAPI VVC, OpenHarmony
H264/5</li>
+ <li>Hardware accelerated encoding: Vulkan AV1, OpenHarmony H264/5</li>
+ <li>Formats: MCC, G.728, Whip, APV</li>
+ <li>Filters: colordetect, pad_cuda, scale_d3d11, Whisper, and others</li>
+ </ul>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ A new class of decoders and encoders based on pure Vulkan compute
implementation have been added.
+ Vulkan is a cross-platform, open standard set of APIs that allows programs
to use GPU hardware in various ways,
+ from drawing on screen, to doing calculations, to decoding video via custom
hardware accelerators.
+ Rather than using a custom hardware accelerator present, these codecs are
based on compute shaders, and work
+ on any implementation of Vulkan 1.3.<br>
+ Decoders use the same hwaccel API and commands, so users do not need to do
anything special to enable them,
+ as enabling <a
href="https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/HWAccelIntro#Vulkan";>Vulkan decoding</a> is
sufficient to use them.<br>
+ Encoders, like our hardware accelerated encoders, require specifying a new
encoder (ffv1_vulkan).
+ Currently, the only codecs supported are: FFv1 (encoding and decoding) and
ProRes RAW (decode only).
+ ProRes (encode+decode) and VC-2 (encode+decode) implementations are complete
and currently in review,
+ to be merged soon and available with the next minor release.<br>
+ Only codecs specifically designed for parallelized decoding can be
implemented in such a way, with
+ more mainstream codecs not being planned for support.<br>
+ Depending on the hardware, these new codecs can provide very significant
speedups, and open up
+ possibilities to work with them for situations like non-linear video editors
and
+ lossless screen recording/streaming, so we are excited to learn what our
downstream users can make with them.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The project has recently started to modernize its infrastructure. Our
mailing list servers have been
+ fully upgraded, and we have recently started to accept contributions via a
new forge, available on
+ <a href="https://code.ffmpeg.org/";>code.ffmpeg.org</a>, running a Forgejo
instance.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ As usual, we recommend that users, distributors, and system integrators to
upgrade unless they use current git master.
