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. 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:
Radiance HDR image support
ddagrab (Desktop Duplication) video capture filter
