Probably you already know that my side of FFmpeg got forced to rename itself to Libav. Some people is still wondering why we did that, you might read some short and longer summaries, have a look at our git or our mailing lists to see how we are faring and where we are heading.
So far I’m quite happy with what we are achieving little by little and day by day: a shared and quite defined plan for the future of the library, releases being a first class citizen, long standing issues being tackled and solved.
We were sorely lacking in the communication side and now we are trying to improve there as well. (This blog post and the website work is just part of it)
In the Gentoo land Scarabeus helped me adding libav, now it is pending some migration work to have all the software working with both libav and ffmpeg.
I hope you’ll be pleased by the outcome (people longing for the multithread work being fully merged I think are).
