Approximately every 6 months the FFmpeg project makes a new major release. Between major releases
point releases will appear that add important bug fixes but no new features. Note that these releases are
intended for distributors and system integrators. Users that wish to compile from source themselves are
strongly encouraged to consider using the development branch (see above), this is the only version on
which FFmpeg developers actively work. The release branches only cherry pick selected changes from the
development branch, which therefore receives much more and much faster bug fixes such as additional
features and security patches.
