October 1st, 2024, FFmpeg 7.1 "Péter"

+

+ FFmpeg 7.1 "Péter", a new + major release, is now available! A full list of changes can be found in the release + changelog. +

+

+ The more important highlights of the release are that the VVC decoder, merged as experimental in version 7.0, + has had enough time to mature and be optimized enough to be declared as stable. The coded is starting to gain + traction with broadcast standardization bodies.
+ Support has been added for a native AAC USAC (part of the xHE-AAC coding system) decoder, with the format starting + to be adopted by streaming websites, due to its extensive volume normalization metadata.
+ MV-HEVC is now able to be natively decoded. This is a stereoscopic coding tool that begun to be shipped and generated + by recent phones and VR headsets.
+ LC-EVC decoding, an enhancement metadata layer to attempt to improve the quality of codecs, is now supported via an + external library.
+

+

+ Support for Vulkan encoding, with H264 and HEVC was merged. This finally completes the loop with a consumer for + Vulkan frames being output by filters, decoders and users. The encoders have feature-parity with their VAAPI + implementation counterparts. Khronos has announced that support for AV1 encoding is also coming soon to Vulkan, + and FFmpeg is aiming to have day-one support. +

+

+ As well as important features, this release has had a lot of work done internally. By far the standout highlight here + are the improvements made for full-range images. Previously, color range data had two paths, no negotiation, + and was unreliably forwarded to filters, encoders, muxers. Work on cleaning the system up started more than 10 + years ago, however this stalled due to how fragile the system was, and that breaking behaviour would be unacceptable. + The new system fixes this, so now color range is forwarded correctly and consistently everywhere needed, and also + laid the path for more advanced forms of negotiation.
+ Cropping metadata is now supported with Matroska and MP4 formats. This metadata is important not only for archival, + but also with AV1, as hardware encoders require its signalling due to the codec not natively supporting one. +

+

+ As usual, we recommend that users, distributors, and system integrators to upgrade unless they use current git master. +
