FFmpeg / Hacker News·low signal
FFmpeg tagged the 9.0 release under the codename 'Lei,' arriving roughly four months after 8.1, drawing 258 points and 46 comments on HN. The RELEASE_NOTES file itself is a stub that defers all detail to the repository Changelog and git history, so specific codec additions and removals are not enumerated in the announcement. Flagged here as a release event rather than a feature summary — verify against the Changelog before assuming anything about codec support.
