Comment (by spooky):

 [https://ffmpeg.org/download.html#releases FFmpeg releases are numbered],
 the current version being 7.1. This numbering is independent of whether
 libraries like OpenSSL, libfdk-aac, etc., are compiled or what versions of
 each sublibrary are being used.

 I'm not sure I understand the comment about "that will tell nothing". A
 simple "7.1" in that column would tell enough.
