[x265] x265 download mirrors

[Michael Lackner]

Hello,

I'm not sure whether this is a slightly stupid question (I'm no dev, so
not used to git much), but since I'm interested in obtaining and
building release versions as well, I'll just ask:

How do I get a specific x265 release version from git?

I tried to clone the corresponding branch into a new folder:

$ git clone --single-branch --branch 'Release_3.5'
https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265_git

Compiled the resulting source code, but, alas:

$ x265 --version 2>&1 | grep version
x265 [info]: HEVC encoder version 3.4+30-g6722fce

So, I ended up with 3.4+30-g6722fce instead, which is newer than the
latest in the Release_3.4 branch, which gives me 3.4+12-g9103319.

Am I right to assume that 3.4+12-g9103319 is the "3.4 final release"
version, and that the version number in the Release_3.5 branch will
change to "3.5+something" once the release is done and a new Release_3.6
branch will have been created?

Thank you for your help!

Best Regards,
Michael
