ask the gstreamer developpers about the different versions of ffmpeg. For a developper it's a pain. Example : 3 or 4 days ago : they changed the options of configure. It's not 3 years at all.

The interest of a release : When compiling a program, you can check a specific version of the release. Then you know what the api is and use the correct functions, struct, etc... You might also know with a release if the abi is broken from a version to another, or not, which is also very important.

windows has already changed and some programs didn't work anymore. Even with different SP of XP some programs work or not.
