+            │ RELEASE NOTES for FFmpeg 5.1 "Riemann" LTS │
+            └────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+
+   The FFmpeg Project proudly presents FFmpeg 5.1 "Riemann" LTS, about 6
+   months after the release of FFmpeg 5.0, our first Long Term Support
+   release. While several past FFmpeg releases have enjoyed long term
+   support, this is the first release where such an intention is made
+   clear at release.
+
+   A complete Changelog is available at the root of the project, and the
+   complete Git history on https://git.ffmpeg.org/gitweb/ffmpeg.git
+
+   We hope you will like this release as much as we enjoyed working on it, and
+   as usual, if you have any questions about it, or any FFmpeg related topic,
+   feel free to join us on the #ffmpeg IRC channel (on irc.libera.chat) or ask
+   on the mailing-lists.
