Hi, I think we are making good progress with the Libav 10 release. It seems that many of our downstreams are now eagerly waiting for a new release, and we should not let them wait for that too long.
The biggest remaining issue that I currently see is that there are quite a number of changes in Libav 10 that may break existing applications. In order to help downstreams, Libav 10 will feature a migration document, which is prepared at https://wiki.libav.org/Migration/10. Many thanks to everyone that has contributed to it. So if you are interested in the release, or know of some application that is not using or working with libav 10 yet, please take a moment to review the migration document and port that application. If you encounter problems (which is not too unlikely), then please reply to this email or in #libav-devel about it; we definitely should address this in the migration document. Depending on the feedback, I'd suggest to decide next weekend what to do next. This may be either another alpha release, or a beta release, which will then also mark the branching point, at which the master branch is starting to diverge from the release branch. After this, the usual rules for backporting patches and features known from earlier release branches apply. Nevertheless, feedback from actual users, and experience reports from porting applications to Libav 10, are instrumental for making a decision here, so please report back. If you have concerns with this approach, or you know of important features or bugs that you think the release should really really include, please mention them in the release tracker bug: https://bugzilla.libav.org/show_bug.cgi?id=Release10 Again, thanks a lot to everying who is helping to make this a great release! -- regards, Reinhard _______________________________________________ libav-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libav.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-devel
