It is required to bump the version

[xaionaro]

It looks like file https://github.com/rockchip-linux/mpp/blob/ee946af015c350c926a0fca2f02da8e429f8b079/pkgconfig/rockchip_mpp.pc.cmake#L9 last time was updated 4 years ago. Meanwhile it seems like a lot of things changed in the library. For example, apparently usage of the old version of the lib causes this variant of ffmpeg to segfault: https://github.com/nyanmisaka/ffmpeg-rockchip/issues/56#issue-2224137907

So to avoid these segfaults one would need to check if the library is fresh enough, which requires the version of the lib itself be periodically bumped.

Also it looks like the latest release was long time ago, which might make various distributions to use severely outdated version of the lib.

Use new version tag 1.0.x or update a larger number than 1.3.8?

Thanks!

P.S.: Does it makes sense to make an official release so that distribution maintainers will see they need to update the version of the package? https://github.com/rockchip-linux/mpp/releases
