Hello,

I'm not sure whether this is a slightly stupid question (I'm no dev, so
not used to git much), but since I'm interested in obtaining and
building release versions as well, I'll just ask:

How do I get a specific x265 release version from git?

git clone https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265_git x265
cd x265
git checkout 3.4

where 3.4 is the release version you want.

I tried to clone the corresponding branch into a new folder:

$ git clone --single-branch --branch 'Release_3.5'
https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265_git

Compiled the resulting source code, but, alas:

$ x265 --version 2>&1 | grep version
x265 [info]: HEVC encoder version 3.4+30-g6722fce

So, I ended up with 3.4+30-g6722fce instead, which is newer than the
latest in the Release_3.4 branch, which gives me 3.4+12-g9103319.

Am I right to assume that 3.4+12-g9103319 is the "3.4 final release"
version, and that the version number in the Release_3.5 branch will
change to "3.5+something" once the release is done and a new Release_3.6
branch will have been created?

As I said in my other email, there is no 3.5 release yet. What the version number tells is that the x265 version is 12 commits past the 3.4 release and thus is an arbitrary snapshot build.
