Hi,

This new major release is a clean break and it is only meant to be fully compatible with version 5.x LTS onwards, though it is usually possible to connect to and from versions from older branches as long as they are reasonably up to date.

The changelog is quite short but there are actually a lot of significant changes in this release. The codebase has been thoroughly cleaned up, and made much more much robust and future-proof. Various static and runtime type checkers have really helped in tightening the API and found numerous bugs along the way - most of which have already landed in the LTS branch.

The switch to OpenGL core profile for accelerated rendering is the one change most likely to cause regressions on some platforms / GPU / drivers / displays - as testing every combination is just impossible.
Please report any issues and try `--opengl=no` if needed.
For the same reason, the new GPU accelerated encoders via GStreamer might cause problems on some systems, use `--video-encoders=all,-gstreamer` if that's the case.

Most builds are already available, the arm64, riscv should be available later. The status of the MacOS builds is less clear.
