      AFAICS, this is still the RC. At least, that's what their release webpage lists.

          On the main webpage opencv.org, there is no final announcement.

            These are some pretty good changes. It's nice that they focus on both CPU and GPU performance.

                  I am actually surprised, how diverse their acceleration efforts are. There is basically every vectorization instruction set and best of all: It is selected at runtime. No need to recompile for each deployment target. That makes it so much easier to use the available hardware regardless of the node you are on. Then, there are many parallelization schemes (OpenMP, IPP, TBB). And beyond this, hardware acceleration is available via OpenCL and now Vulkan. Quite nice to see that. That must have been a crazy amount of work.

                    I totally agree. And yes, I'm sure it is a lot of work, but, these are the sorts of things you really only have to worry about once.
                    OpenCV is one of very few libraries that really needs as much optimization and performance gains as possible, since it is often used for robots and other small/portable devices with limited compute power. So, the fact that the devs have such a wide variety of options is very forward-thinking, and makes this one of the most well-planned open-source projects out there (in my opinion, anyway).
