 ## Note about Maintenance and Versions
 
-The project at tag `1.0.0` refers to the state of the project upon completion
+~~The project at tag `1.0.0` refers to the state of the project upon completion
 of the course. Newer versions are meant to be maintenance releases; fixes that
 keep the project working. As of 2022-01-18, there may be (after now) a version
 `1.1.0` or `1.0.1` due to keeping up to date with the FFmpeg dependency as a new
 major version of FFmpeg was released (version `5.0`).
 
 To be clear, version `1.0.0` of this project is expected to work with FFmpeg
-version `4.4`.
+version `4.4`.~~
+
+Fixes were applied for FFmpeg version 5. A macro is used to change incompatible
+code based on what version of FFmpeg is specified in the headers, so external
+checking of version is not necessary. Thus, the latest version of this repo
+should work with both FFmpeg 5.0 and 4.4.
