February 28th, 2023, FFmpeg 6.0 "Von Neumann"

+

+ A new major release, FFmpeg 6.0 "Von Neumann", + is now available for download. This release has many new encoders and decoders, filters, + ffmpeg CLI tool improvements, and also, changes the way releases are done. All major + releases will now bump the version of the ABI. We plan to have a new major release each + year. Another release-specific change is that deprecated APIs will be removed after 3 + releases, upon the next major bump. The last minor release of a major version will be an + LTS release. + This means that releases will be done more often and will be more organized. +

+

+ New decoders featured are Bonk, RKA, Radiance, SC-4, APAC, VQC, WavArc and a few ADPCM formats. + QSV and NVenc now support AV1 encoding. The FFmpeg CLI (we usually reffer to it as ffmpeg.c + to avoid confusion) has speed-up improvements due to threading, as well as statistics options, + and the ability to pass option values for filters from a file. There are quite a few new audio + and video filters, such as adrc, showcwt, backgroundkey and ssim360, with a few hardware ones too. + Finally, the release features many behind-the-scenes changes, including a new FFT and MDCT + implementation used in codecs (expect a blog post about this soon), numerous bugfixes, better + ICC profile handling and colorspace signalling improvement, introduction of a number of RISC-V + vector and scalar assembly optimized routines, and a few new improved APIs, which can be viewed + in the doc/APIchanges file in our tree. + A few submitted features, such as the Vulkan improvements and more FFT optimizations will be in the + next minor release, 6.1, which we plan to release soon, in line with our new release schedule. + Some highlights are: +

+ +

+ We strongly recommend users, distributors, and system integrators to + upgrade unless they use current git master. +
