+### April 14, 2020 version 1.5.3
  * Add `FFmpegFrameGrabber.start(boolean findStreamInfo)` parameter to minimize startup time ([issue #1376](https://github.com/bytedeco/javacv/issues/1376))
  * Let `FFmpegFrameGrabber.grab()` return non-audio/video streams as new `Frame.DATA` type ([pull #1378](https://github.com/bytedeco/javacv/pull/1378))
  * Fix crash in `FFmpegFrameRecorder.flush()` for HLS format and possibly others ([pull #1374](https://github.com/bytedeco/javacv/pull/1374))

 This downloads binaries for all platforms, but to get binaries for only one platform we can set the `javacpp.platform` system property (via the `-D` command line option) to something like `android-arm`, `linux-x86_64`, `macosx-x86_64`, `windows-x86_64`, etc. Please refer to the [README.md file of the JavaCPP Presets](https://github.com/bytedeco/javacpp-presets#downloads) for details. Another option available for Scala users is [sbt-javacv](https://github.com/bytedeco/sbt-javacv).

 If the binary files available above are not enough for your needs, you might need to rebuild them from the source code. To this end, the project files were created for:
 
  * Maven 3.x  http://maven.apache.org/download.html
- * JavaCPP 1.5.2  https://github.com/bytedeco/javacpp
- * JavaCPP Presets 1.5.2  https://github.com/bytedeco/javacpp-presets
+ * JavaCPP 1.5.3  https://github.com/bytedeco/javacpp
+ * JavaCPP Presets 1.5.3  https://github.com/bytedeco/javacpp-presets
 
 Once installed, simply call the usual `mvn install` command for JavaCPP, its Presets, and JavaCV. By default, no other dependencies than a C++ compiler for JavaCPP are required. Please refer to the comments inside the `pom.xml` files for further details.
