In order to not break existing scripts +and applications, we have chosen to introduce a new tool called +'avconv', and keep the traditional 'ffmpeg' frontend for end-user's +convenience. An <a href="index.html#fftools_rename"> earlier news +entry</a> compares how 'avconv' differs from 'ffmpeg'. +</p> + +<p> +Additionally, this release introduces a number of new interesting codecs +such as the Apple Prores, Flash Screen Video 2 and Windows Media Image, +and muxers such as LATM or CELT in Ogg, among many others. Moreover, our +H.264 decoder has been improved to decode 4:2:2 material and our libx264 +wrapper now allows to produce 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 video. +</p> + +<p> +The 0.8 branch will see maintenance and small feature updates in the +future, similar to previous release branches.
