Hi all
Do people prefer that 5.0 becomes LTS or the next (5.1) ?
Or something else ?
Thanks
5.0 lacks the new channel layout API, and making that an LTS will give
projects less incentive to migrate, so IMO, 5.1 (or a newer one) should
be the LTS.
I thought 5.x was the LTS series already. Maybe I misunderstood, but I
expected that the 5.x series does not break API/ABI, so minor versions
of the 5.0 major series would be part of the same LTS and supported
for that timeframe.
No 5.x release will break existing API/ABI, but all can and most likely
will introduce new API. So if you target 5.0, you can use 5.x just fine.
As an example, 5.1 will be the first with a new channel layout API in
lavu, which will of course live alongside the old (now marked as
deprecated) until a major bump takes place in a couple years.
At least, that was my impression when I started bringing ffmpeg into Fedora...
