## [0.19.0] - 2026-10-16

### Added

- **The encoder-by-name catalogue**, the gate every FFmpeg encoder will
  be opened through: `lookup` checks a closed catalogue and the license
  gate without asking FFmpeg anything, and `encoder_by_name` then asks
  the linked libavcodec, answering an `Admitted` encoder or an
  `EncoderRefusal` by name.
- **The `gpl` feature, off by default.** Without it the GPL encoders
  (`libx264`, `libx264rgb`, `libx265`) are refused by name before
  libavcodec is asked for them. Linking a GPL FFmpeg makes a binary GPL
  whatever this feature says; the README states it.
- The muxer and the encoders arrive in the following releases.
