not sure what’s the scope but be aware that OpenCV v5.0 is coming closer…
you might have heard of the OpenCV Evolution (OE) wiki articles. I’m excited for some of those (replacement for highgui/viz/…) but I don’t think they’ll “drop” with the v5.0 release. they might start being worked on however.
the new number just means v4.x API will kinda-freeze, aiui, and the v5.x branch gives opportunity for renovations.
(I’m just a volunteer with a crystal ball)
