│ RELEASE NOTES for FFmpeg 2.4 "Fresnel" │
└────────────────────────────────────────┘
The FFmpeg Project proudly presents FFmpeg 2.4 "Fresnel", ...
FFmpeg 2.4 is mostly API-, but not ABI-compatible with the previous major release.
This means that the code using our libraries needs to be rebuilt, but only minimal
source changes should be required, as described in the section 'API Information'.
The FFmpeg Project proudly presents FFmpeg 2.4 "Fresnel", just 2 months
after the release of 2.3. Since this wasn't a long time ago, the Changelog
is a bit short this time.
The most important thing in this release is the major version bump of the
libraries. This means that this release is neither ABI-compatible nor
fully API-compatible. But on the other hand it is aligned with the Libav
11 release series, and will as a result probably end up being maintained for
a long time.
As usual, if you have any question on this release or any FFmpeg related
topic, feel free to join us on the #ffmpeg IRC channel (on
irc.freenode.net).
