FFmpeg 8.1

После более полугода разработки состоялся выпуск 8.1 проекта FFmpeg, с кодовым именем «Hoare».
Это набор свободных библиотек и утилит с открытым исходным кодом, позволяющих записывать, конвертировать и передавать цифровые аудио- и видеозаписи в различных форматах. Название происходит от названия экспертной группы MPEG и FF, означающего «fast forward».
Проект состоит из следующих компонентов:

ffmpeg — консольная утилита для конвертирования видеофайла из одного формата в другой и захвата видео в реальном времени.
ffplay — простой медиаплеер, основанный на SDL2 и библиотеках FFmpeg.
ffprobe — консольная утилита, позволяющая собирать и отображать информацию о медиафайлах (как MediaInfo) и мультимедиапотоках, доступных устройствах, кодеках, форматах, протоколах и др.
libavcodec — библиотека со всеми аудио/видеокодеками. Большинство кодеков было разработано «с нуля» для обеспечения наилучшей производительности.
libavformat — библиотека с мультиплексорами и демультиплексорами для различных аудио- и видеоформатов.
libavutil — вспомогательная библиотека со стандартными общими подпрограммами для различных компонентов ffmpeg.
libpostproc — библиотека стандартных подпрограмм обработки видео.
libswscale — библиотека для масштабирования видео.
libavfilter — позволяет изменять видеопоток между декодером и кодером «на лету».

Azure Copilot Migration Agent: AI-assisted migration planning for VMware, Hyper-V, and bare-metal servers

Azure Copilot Migration Agent is a new AI agent built into the Azure portal that assists with planning migrations from VMware, Hyper-V, and bare-metal servers to Azure. It works on top of Azure Migrate data and goes beyond answering questions: it can actively create business cases and assessments, apply tags to discovered servers, and generate deployable landing zone templates — all through natural language prompts. What it cannot do is execute the actual migration. Replication, test migrations, and cutover are performed in the Azure Migrate portal, not through the agent. The agent is currently in public preview.
