- **Rust 2024 Edition**: Updated to latest Rust edition with modern syntax
- **FFmpeg 8.0 Support**: Full support for FFmpeg 8.0 APIs
- **Unified Bootstrap Script**: Single script for building and publishing across all platforms
- **Improved CI/CD**: Updated GitHub Actions workflows, modern action versions
- **Enhanced Examples**: New video-info tool, improved frame dumping
- **Static Linking**: Configured for static linking with vcpkg-provided libraries
- **Visual Studio Setup**: Automatic MSVC environment configuration on Windows

## Quick Start

### Windows
