Release Notes
Libav is developed with Git. Given the decentralized nature of Git, multiple repositories from developers and groups of developers are available.

You can retrieve the source code through the standard Git client by using the command:
git clone CLONE_URL libav
where CLONE_URL is one of the Git clone URLs listed in the table above.
Make sure that you do not have Windows line endings in your checkouts, otherwise you may experience spurious compilation failures. One way to achieve this is to run
git config --global core.autocrlf false
For the git.libav.org repository you can also directly download the source snapshot that we generate each night instead of grabbing a source snapshot from the gitweb URL. This is slightly preferred since it reduces the load on our server.
Alternatively, if you cannot access Git directly or wish to speed up the cloning and reduce the bandwidth usage, we also offer a complete git snapshot tarball that comes with git metadata and version history to bootstrap your local libav.org repository.
Nightly and release builds of Libav linked with various libraries are done for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, and can be obtained at the following URLs:
Windows builds of official releases
32-bit Windows builds
32-bit Windows builds using pthreads
64-bit Windows builds
Please report any bugs to the bug tracker.
This table is sorted alphabetically. Please help to keep it up-to-date.
