Since this is a new major FFmpeg release I looked for some significant changes for this new version at the FFmpeg site, but I gave up. Could you autline some important improvements of this new major version compared to the latest 7.xx versions?

The changelog shows the main differences since 7.1 but they may not seem very significant if you were using the development build in post #33
as you already had many of those changes. Of course with any new builds I have updated all the included libraries which means bug fixes
and general improvements. This being a release build also means the api is stable and a lot of deprecated code was removed so the libraries
included all use the same stable base.

Thanks a lot for the explanation...

FFmpeg 8.0 for Windows 7.

Thank You Very Much!

Btw - this what i use to verify changes between builds - i use WinMerge ( https://winmerge.org/ ) to compare result with older builds (yes, this is something else than changelog but it allow to keep more or less functional history).
