└────────────────────────────────────────┘
- The FFmpeg Project proudly presents FFmpeg 2.4 "Fresnel", just 2 months
- after the release of 2.3. Since this wasn't a long time ago, the Changelog
- is a bit short this time.
+ The FFmpeg Project proudly presents FFmpeg 2.5 "Bohr", 2.5 months after the
+ release of 2.4.
- The most important thing in this release is the major version bump of the
- libraries. This means that this release is neither ABI-compatible nor
- fully API-compatible. But on the other hand it is aligned with the Libav
- 11 release series, and will as a result probably end up being maintained for
- a long time.
+ The most important new features are AVFoundation screen-grabbing support,
+ animated WebP decoding support, and Animated PNG support. In addition, many
+ exciting features for video streaming are also implemented, including MPEG-
+ DASH fragmenting muxer, HEVC RTP payload muxer, and UDP Lite support.
As usual, if you have any question on this release or any FFmpeg related
topic, feel free to join us on the #ffmpeg IRC channel (on
