494 2010-01-06 - r21035 - lavfi 1.14.0 - avfilter_add_colorspace()
495 Change the avfilter_add_colorspace() signature, make it accept an
496 (AVFilterFormats **) rather than an (AVFilterFormats *) as before.
498 2010-01-03 - r21007 - lavfi 1.13.0 - avfilter_add_colorspace()

501 2010-01-02 - r20998 - lavf 52.46.0 - av_match_ext()
502 Add av_match_ext(), it should be used in place of match_ext().

518 Introduce the av_bmg_next() function.
520 2009-12-05 - r20734 - lavfi 1.12.0 - avfilter_draw_slice()
521 Add a slice_dir parameter to avfilter_draw_slice().
523 2009-11-26 - r20611 - lavfi 1.11.0 - AVFilter
524 Remove the next field from AVFilter, this is not anymore required.
526 2009-11-25 - r20607 - lavfi 1.10.0 - avfilter_next()
527 Introduce the avfilter_next() function.
529 2009-11-25 - r20605 - lavfi 1.9.0 - avfilter_register()
530 Change the signature of avfilter_register() to make it return an
531 int. This is required since now the registration operation may fail.
533 2009-11-25 - r20603 - lavu 50.5.0 - pixdesc.h API
534 Make the pixdesc.h API public.
536 2009-10-27 - r20385 - lavfi 1.5.0 - AVFilter.next
537 Add a next field to AVFilter, this is used for simplifying the
538 registration and management of the registered filters.
540 2009-10-23 - r20356 - lavfi 1.4.1 - AVFilter.description
541 Add a description field to AVFilter.
543 2009-10-19 - r20302 - lavfi 1.3.0 - avfilter_make_format_list()
544 Change the interface of avfilter_make_format_list() from
545 avfilter_make_format_list(int n, ...) to
546 avfilter_make_format_list(enum PixelFormat *pix_fmts).
548 2009-10-18 - r20272 - lavfi 1.0.0 - avfilter_get_video_buffer()
549 Make avfilter_get_video_buffer() recursive and add the w and h
552 2009-10-07 - r20189 - lavfi 0.5.1 - AVFilterPic
553 Add w and h fields to AVFilterPic.
555 2009-06-22 - r19250 - lavf 52.34.1 - AVFormatContext.packet_size
556 This is now an unsigned int instead of a signed int.
558 2009-06-19 - r19222 - lavc 52.32.0 - AVSubtitle.pts
559 Add a pts field to AVSubtitle which gives the subtitle packet pts
560 in AV_TIME_BASE. Some subtitle de-/encoders (e.g. XSUB) will
561 not work right without this.
563 2009-06-03 - r19078 - lavc 52.30.2 - AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY
564 PKT_FLAG_KEY has been deprecated and will be dropped at the next
565 major version. Use AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY instead.
567 2009-06-01 - r19025 - lavc 52.30.0 - av_lockmgr_register()
568 av_lockmgr_register() can be used to register a callback function
569 that lavc (and in the future, libraries that depend on lavc) can use
570 to implement mutexes. The application should provide a callback function
571 that implements the AV_LOCK_* operations described in avcodec.h.
572 When the lock manager is registered, FFmpeg is guaranteed to behave
573 correctly in a multi-threaded application.
575 2009-04-30 - r18719 - lavc 52.28.0 - av_free_packet()
576 av_free_packet() is no longer an inline function. It is now exported.
578 2009-04-11 - r18431 - lavc 52.25.0 - deprecate av_destruct_packet_nofree()
579 Please use NULL instead. This has been supported since r16506
580 (lavf > 52.23.1, lavc > 52.10.0).
582 2009-04-07 - r18351 - lavc 52.23.0 - avcodec_decode_video/audio/subtitle
583 The old decoding functions are deprecated, all new code should use the
584 new functions avcodec_decode_video2(), avcodec_decode_audio3() and
585 avcodec_decode_subtitle2(). These new functions take an AVPacket *pkt
586 argument instead of a const uint8_t *buf / int buf_size pair.
588 2009-04-03 - r18321 - lavu 50.3.0 - av_fifo_space()
589 Introduce the av_fifo_space() function.
591 2009-04-02 - r18317 - lavc 52.23.0 - AVPacket
592 Move AVPacket declaration from libavformat/avformat.h to
593 libavcodec/avcodec.h.
595 2009-03-22 - r18163 - lavu 50.2.0 - RGB32 pixel formats
596 Convert the pixel formats PIX_FMT_ARGB, PIX_FMT_RGBA, PIX_FMT_ABGR,
597 PIX_FMT_BGRA, which were defined as macros, into enum PixelFormat values.
598 Conversely PIX_FMT_RGB32, PIX_FMT_RGB32_1, PIX_FMT_BGR32 and
599 PIX_FMT_BGR32_1 are now macros.
600 avcodec_get_pix_fmt() now recognizes the "rgb32" and "bgr32" aliases.
601 Re-sort the enum PixelFormat list accordingly.
602 This change breaks API/ABI backward compatibility.
604 2009-03-22 - r18133 - lavu 50.1.0 - PIX_FMT_RGB5X5 endian variants
605 Add the enum PixelFormat values:
606 PIX_FMT_RGB565BE, PIX_FMT_RGB565LE, PIX_FMT_RGB555BE, PIX_FMT_RGB555LE,
607 PIX_FMT_BGR565BE, PIX_FMT_BGR565LE, PIX_FMT_BGR555BE, PIX_FMT_BGR555LE.
609 2009-03-21 - r18116 - lavu 50.0.0 - av_random*
610 The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av_random* functions
611 was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av_lfg* functions
614 2009-03-08 - r17869 - lavu 50.0.0 - AVFifoBuffer
615 av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped
616 and replaced by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write
617 and av_fifo_realloc2.
618 In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read
619 was changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
620 The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
621 applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.
623 2009-03-01 - r17682 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
624 Introduce a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
625 The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially
626 includes the following structure fields:
627 - AVFormatContext.title
628 - AVFormatContext.author
629 - AVFormatContext.copyright
630 - AVFormatContext.comment
631 - AVFormatContext.album
632 - AVFormatContext.year
633 - AVFormatContext.track
634 - AVFormatContext.genre
637 - AVProgram.provider_name
