It's never too late to make a release. If we do a release now, nothing's stopping us from doing a 7.0 and getting back on track with releases every two months or so, like the plan was. 7.0 is likely to be a pretty big release, with YUVJ removal, (xHE) AAC+fixes, D3D12 hwdec, Vulkan encode and Vulkan AV1, and VVC, and IAMF, and MLP work, so it's a good idea to have a release before all this lands. I think the tree is in a pretty good state ATM, you should go ahead and branch if you're comfortable with it as well. Let's aim for a release by Sunday next week. That should give everyone enough time to backport fixes they want in. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
