 Hi all

 its a while since FFmpeg 2.5, so its getting time to make 2.6
 if you want something in it or something fixed, now is your last
 chance ;)

 About the name if noone suggests something then ill pick a random
 scientist from the list i have from past suggestions


Since it not having been part of a release was an argument for allowing to
break API to fix the default for writing the colr atom (which a number of
people found more sensible), it would be nice to have that in before,
because otherwise that argument would no longer hold after 2.6 is out,
resulting in a rather bad situation with both options in there for a while.
How much time would there be to submit a patch that changes the default?

there is no strict cast in stone release date, so i do not know
i wanted to do the release soon, i do not know if that will work out
there are still some things i wanted to test which may delay things

but if things are all working and tested we might release tomorrow or
it might be in a week, i dont know

 I might help writing the RELEASE_NOTES. Anything not present in the

thanks!


 Changelog that I should mention? Particular optimizations, area where a
 large amount of fixes happened (and are not going to be backported), OPW,
 or other various project changes?

if i knew something i would have added it to the Changelog probably
so i cant think of anything but iam sure forgetting somthing ...


 
 BTW, do we want to encourage occasional contributors and companies to
 contribute more by mentioning them in a thanks section? Quickly skimming
 through the history I see NVIDIA, Samsung, Collabora, ... What do people
 think? See the bottom of http://i3wm.org/downloads/RELEASE-NOTES-4.9.txt
 for an example (yeah I know it's not the first time I pick that same
 model).

sure, possible

VP9 asm by Ronald that made the codec usable on x86_32 and also pre-ssse3 CPUs 
like Phenom (Even dual core Athlons can run 1080p 30fps VP9 content now). 
Pretty 
good argument to convince Google and Mozilla to use ffvp9 IMO :P.
HEVC improvements could also be mentioned (C and asm performance improvements, 
and monochrome sequence support).

Old school: Use the lowest level language in which you can solve the problem
conveniently.
New school: Use the highest level language in which the latest supercomputer
can solve the problem without the user falling asleep waiting.
