Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, February 7. Jean-Baptiste Kempf, a well-known multimedia developer and president of VideoLAN, shared the upcoming FFmpeg version 2023 and dav1d v1.1 at FOSDEM 2023 last weekend.

Since launching FFmpeg 5.0last winter, the development team has now focused on FFmpeg 6.0and says it is expected to release it this winter.

Major changes in FFmpeg 6.0include support for AV1 hardware decoding on Intel, Nvidia, and AMD graphics cards. In addition, FFmpeg 6.0will introduce multithreading support for the FFmpeg command line, optimize RISC-V architecture and API, and so on.

Jean-Baptiste Kempf also outlines upcoming new decoders and filters, Android media enhancements, and major tasks around FFmpeg CLI multithreading.

The FFmpeg project remains focused on delivering a major version of ABI / API breakage each year, followed by a maintenance version or two. The FFmpeg LTS version is still targeted for release every two years, and the next version is FFmpeg 7.1 in 2024.
