FFmpeg 3.0 "Einstein", a new major release, is now available! Some of the highlights:
The native FFmpeg AAC encoder has seen extensive improvements and is no longer considered experimental
Removed support for libvo-aacenc and libaacplus
Over 30 new filters have been added
Many ASM optimizations
VP9 Hardware Acceleration (DXVA2 and VA-API)
Cineform HD decoder
New DCA decoder based on libdcadec with full support for DTS-HD extensions
As with all major releases expect major backward incompatible API/ABI changes
