Hi,
This new major release is a clean break and it is only meant to be fully
compatible with version 5.x LTS onwards, though it is usually possible
to connect to and from versions from older branches as long as they are
reasonably up to date.
The changelog is quite short but there are actually a lot of significant
changes in this release.
The codebase has been thoroughly cleaned up, and made much more much
robust and future-proof.
Various static and runtime type checkers have really helped in
tightening the API and found numerous bugs along the way - most of which
have already landed in the LTS branch.
The switch to OpenGL core profile for accelerated rendering is the one
change most likely to cause regressions on some platforms / GPU /
drivers / displays - as testing every combination is just impossible.
Please report any issues and try `--opengl=no` if needed.
For the same reason, the new GPU accelerated encoders via GStreamer
might cause problems on some systems, use
`--video-encoders=all,-gstreamer` if that's the case.
Most builds are already available, the arm64, riscv should be available
later. The status of the MacOS builds is less clear.
