[FFmpeg-devel] FFmpeg 0.6.1

Hi.

The last weeks have been pretty busy (workwise) for me, but now I
finally found some time to look into releasing FFmpeg 0.6.1. If you
don't care about point releases, then please stop reading now and
move along. If you are interested, I'd appreciate feedback and general
comments.


I think the branch is currently in a pretty decent state, and I'd be
happy to release as it is now. I don't think that we need to translate
the announcements, because the current descriptions are rather terse
(however, as always, YMMV). If you'd prefer to see better announcements,
please reply with your preferred wording to this email.

For your convenience, I'm proposing the website change for review in
this email.

+We have just pushed the first point release from our 0.6 release branch:
+<a href="download.html#release">FFmpeg 0.6.1</a></b>.  This is a
+maintenance-only release that addresses a small number of security and
+adds a newer version of the AAC decoder. This should fix playback of
+HE-AAC v2 media. Distributor and system integrators are encouraged to
+update and share their patches against this branch.

I'd like to get this point release out rather quickly, because it is
blocking the mplayer 1.0rc4 release, which is long overdue as well.
