Hi,

Now with FATE being very green these days, we should look more closely
into doing another release soon. Currently, I see the following release
goals:

The Big Bump
------------

This is currently blocked by the pending API cleanup. I understand from
Anton that this is still ongoing work that will take several more weeks
to finish. I'm therefore considering to propose to skip this for now.


h264-mt
-------

It would be really sad to miss this. Ronald, can you please give an
update how much work is left to finish this?


libavfilter API cleanup
-----------------------

AFAIUI the libavfilter API is not finished yet. I see us with the
following options: a) require SONAME bumps for future ABI incompatible
changes, b) declare libavfilter as unstable and recommend downstreams to
use it as static library only.

I personally tend to option a), but I'm happy to hear other opinions.


Currently, it seems to me that we could release as soon as we have an
informed opinion on the release goals stated above. However, I'm also
happy to hear your opinions and suggestions for other release
goals. Don't worry if we don't manage to meet them for 0.7, several
downstreams requested more than 2 releases a year, so I'm already
looking forward to a 0.8 release this summer!
