Careful about rushing in too quickly to the bleeding edge. Right now the decoder has what is possibly an exploitable security vulnerability... which isn't yet fixed because the encoder produces invalid files that depend on the bad behaviour. All this will get worked out, but it takes a little time... the release deadline was an external imposition based on the google event and doesn't really reflect a degree of maturity. There are also problems with the Google patent release and a couple of other bits that need to get worked out. But absolutely, get to testing it and report findings. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
