Don’t look now, but the idea of making a formal FFmpeg<\/a> release in the very near future is gaining traction over on the FFmpeg-devel list<\/a>. There is a determined and growing team of individuals committed to this goal in the near future. To that end, there is even a Wiki page listing the steps<\/a> that need to occur leading up to a release.<\/p>\n

There is some debate about what kind of release schedule we should commit to. Some take the stance that we should follow the model that Wine<\/a> apparently follows by releasing every 2 weeks. Really, every new weeks?<\/em> I had never heard of that before. It strikes me as a bit severe. I personally would like to see a little more time between releases, but see them often enough that we get really good at it, and it becomes part of our shared community mindset.<\/p>\n

After all, there are a few projects out there that depend on FFmpeg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I admit, whenever I get to thinking about an FFmpeg release, I get a little nervous about the ensuing discussion. Not the discussion about whether or not a release should happen; that’s a foregone conclusion because it will<\/em> happen. No, the item that makes me lose sleep is the biggest bikeshed hue discussion<\/a> of them all — how should we version the upcoming release of FFmpeg<\/em>? I don’t think I even want to get involved in that one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
