884 Add sws_isSupportedInput() and sws_isSupportedOutput() functions.
886 2010-01-06 - r21035 - lavfi 1.14.0 - avfilter_add_colorspace()
887 Change the avfilter_add_colorspace() signature, make it accept an
888 (AVFilterFormats **) rather than an (AVFilterFormats *) as before.
890 2010-01-03 - r21007 - lavfi 1.13.0 - avfilter_add_colorspace()
891 Add avfilter_add_colorspace().
893 2010-01-02 - r20998 - lavf 52.46.0 - av_match_ext()
894 Add av_match_ext(), it should be used in place of match_ext().
896 2010-01-01 - r20991 - lavf 52.45.0 - av_guess_format()
897 Add av_guess_format(), it should be used in place of guess_format().
899 2009-12-13 - r20834 - lavf 52.43.0 - metadata API
900 Add av_metadata_set2(), AV_METADATA_DONT_STRDUP_KEY and
901 AV_METADATA_DONT_STRDUP_VAL.
903 2009-12-13 - r20829 - lavu 50.7.0 - avstring.h API
906 2009-12-13 - r20826 - lavc 52.42.0 - AVStream
909 2009-12-12 - r20808 - lavu 50.6.0 - av_bmg_next()
910 Introduce the av_bmg_next() function.
912 2009-12-05 - r20734 - lavfi 1.12.0 - avfilter_draw_slice()
913 Add a slice_dir parameter to avfilter_draw_slice().
915 2009-11-26 - r20611 - lavfi 1.11.0 - AVFilter
916 Remove the next field from AVFilter, this is not anymore required.
918 2009-11-25 - r20607 - lavfi 1.10.0 - avfilter_next()
919 Introduce the avfilter_next() function.
921 2009-11-25 - r20605 - lavfi 1.9.0 - avfilter_register()
922 Change the signature of avfilter_register() to make it return an
923 int. This is required since now the registration operation may fail.
925 2009-11-25 - r20603 - lavu 50.5.0 - pixdesc.h API
926 Make the pixdesc.h API public.
928 2009-10-27 - r20385 - lavfi 1.5.0 - AVFilter.next
929 Add a next field to AVFilter, this is used for simplifying the
930 registration and management of the registered filters.
932 2009-10-23 - r20356 - lavfi 1.4.1 - AVFilter.description
933 Add a description field to AVFilter.
935 2009-10-19 - r20302 - lavfi 1.3.0 - avfilter_make_format_list()
936 Change the interface of avfilter_make_format_list() from
937 avfilter_make_format_list(int n, ...) to
938 avfilter_make_format_list(enum PixelFormat *pix_fmts).
940 2009-10-18 - r20272 - lavfi 1.0.0 - avfilter_get_video_buffer()
941 Make avfilter_get_video_buffer() recursive and add the w and h
944 2009-10-07 - r20189 - lavfi 0.5.1 - AVFilterPic
945 Add w and h fields to AVFilterPic.
947 2009-06-22 - r19250 - lavf 52.34.1 - AVFormatContext.packet_size
948 This is now an unsigned int instead of a signed int.
950 2009-06-19 - r19222 - lavc 52.32.0 - AVSubtitle.pts
951 Add a pts field to AVSubtitle which gives the subtitle packet pts
952 in AV_TIME_BASE. Some subtitle de-/encoders (e.g. XSUB) will
953 not work right without this.
955 2009-06-03 - r19078 - lavc 52.30.2 - AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY
956 PKT_FLAG_KEY has been deprecated and will be dropped at the next
957 major version. Use AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY instead.
959 2009-06-01 - r19025 - lavc 52.30.0 - av_lockmgr_register()
960 av_lockmgr_register() can be used to register a callback function
961 that lavc (and in the future, libraries that depend on lavc) can use
962 to implement mutexes. The application should provide a callback function
963 that implements the AV_LOCK_* operations described in avcodec.h.
964 When the lock manager is registered, FFmpeg is guaranteed to behave
965 correctly in a multi-threaded application.
967 2009-04-30 - r18719 - lavc 52.28.0 - av_free_packet()
968 av_free_packet() is no longer an inline function. It is now exported.
970 2009-04-11 - r18431 - lavc 52.25.0 - deprecate av_destruct_packet_nofree()
971 Please use NULL instead. This has been supported since r16506
972 (lavf > 52.23.1, lavc > 52.10.0).
974 2009-04-07 - r18351 - lavc 52.23.0 - avcodec_decode_video/audio/subtitle
975 The old decoding functions are deprecated, all new code should use the
976 new functions avcodec_decode_video2(), avcodec_decode_audio3() and
977 avcodec_decode_subtitle2(). These new functions take an AVPacket *pkt
978 argument instead of a const uint8_t *buf / int buf_size pair.
980 2009-04-03 - r18321 - lavu 50.3.0 - av_fifo_space()
981 Introduce the av_fifo_space() function.
983 2009-04-02 - r18317 - lavc 52.23.0 - AVPacket
984 Move AVPacket declaration from libavformat/avformat.h to
985 libavcodec/avcodec.h.
987 2009-03-22 - r18163 - lavu 50.2.0 - RGB32 pixel formats
988 Convert the pixel formats PIX_FMT_ARGB, PIX_FMT_RGBA, PIX_FMT_ABGR,
989 PIX_FMT_BGRA, which were defined as macros, into enum PixelFormat values.
990 Conversely PIX_FMT_RGB32, PIX_FMT_RGB32_1, PIX_FMT_BGR32 and
991 PIX_FMT_BGR32_1 are now macros.
992 avcodec_get_pix_fmt() now recognizes the "rgb32" and "bgr32" aliases.
993 Re-sort the enum PixelFormat list accordingly.
994 This change breaks API/ABI backward compatibility.
996 2009-03-22 - r18133 - lavu 50.1.0 - PIX_FMT_RGB5X5 endian variants
997 Add the enum PixelFormat values:
998 PIX_FMT_RGB565BE, PIX_FMT_RGB565LE, PIX_FMT_RGB555BE, PIX_FMT_RGB555LE,
999 PIX_FMT_BGR565BE, PIX_FMT_BGR565LE, PIX_FMT_BGR555BE, PIX_FMT_BGR555LE.
1001 2009-03-21 - r18116 - lavu 50.0.0 - av_random*
1002 The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av_random* functions
1003 was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av_lfg* functions
1006 2009-03-08 - r17869 - lavu 50.0.0 - AVFifoBuffer
1007 av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped
1008 and replaced by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write
1009 and av_fifo_realloc2.
1010 In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read
1011 was changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
1012 The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
1013 applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.
1015 2009-03-01 - r17682 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
1016 Introduce a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
1017 The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially
1018 includes the following structure fields:
1019 - AVFormatContext.title
1020 - AVFormatContext.author
1021 - AVFormatContext.copyright
1022 - AVFormatContext.comment
1023 - AVFormatContext.album
1024 - AVFormatContext.year
1025 - AVFormatContext.track
1026 - AVFormatContext.genre
1029 - AVProgram.provider_name
