699 Add a slice_dir parameter to avfilter_draw_slice().
701 2009-11-26 - r20611 - lavfi 1.11.0 - AVFilter
702 Remove the next field from AVFilter, this is not anymore required.
704 2009-11-25 - r20607 - lavfi 1.10.0 - avfilter_next()
705 Introduce the avfilter_next() function.
707 2009-11-25 - r20605 - lavfi 1.9.0 - avfilter_register()
708 Change the signature of avfilter_register() to make it return an
709 int. This is required since now the registration operation may fail.
711 2009-11-25 - r20603 - lavu 50.5.0 - pixdesc.h API
712 Make the pixdesc.h API public.
714 2009-10-27 - r20385 - lavfi 1.5.0 - AVFilter.next

731 Add w and h fields to AVFilterPic.
733 2009-06-22 - r19250 - lavf 52.34.1 - AVFormatContext.packet_size
734 This is now an unsigned int instead of a signed int.
736 2009-06-19 - r19222 - lavc 52.32.0 - AVSubtitle.pts
737 Add a pts field to AVSubtitle which gives the subtitle packet pts
738 in AV_TIME_BASE. Some subtitle de-/encoders (e.g. XSUB) will
739 not work right without this.
741 2009-06-03 - r19078 - lavc 52.30.2 - AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY
742 PKT_FLAG_KEY has been deprecated and will be dropped at the next
743 major version. Use AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY instead.
745 2009-06-01 - r19025 - lavc 52.30.0 - av_lockmgr_register()
746 av_lockmgr_register() can be used to register a callback function
747 that lavc (and in the future, libraries that depend on lavc) can use
748 to implement mutexes. The application should provide a callback function
749 that implements the AV_LOCK_* operations described in avcodec.h.
750 When the lock manager is registered, FFmpeg is guaranteed to behave
751 correctly in a multi-threaded application.
753 2009-04-30 - r18719 - lavc 52.28.0 - av_free_packet()
754 av_free_packet() is no longer an inline function. It is now exported.
756 2009-04-11 - r18431 - lavc 52.25.0 - deprecate av_destruct_packet_nofree()
757 Please use NULL instead. This has been supported since r16506
758 (lavf > 52.23.1, lavc > 52.10.0).
760 2009-04-07 - r18351 - lavc 52.23.0 - avcodec_decode_video/audio/subtitle
761 The old decoding functions are deprecated, all new code should use the
762 new functions avcodec_decode_video2(), avcodec_decode_audio3() and
763 avcodec_decode_subtitle2(). These new functions take an AVPacket *pkt
764 argument instead of a const uint8_t *buf / int buf_size pair.
766 2009-04-03 - r18321 - lavu 50.3.0 - av_fifo_space()
767 Introduce the av_fifo_space() function.
769 2009-04-02 - r18317 - lavc 52.23.0 - AVPacket
770 Move AVPacket declaration from libavformat/avformat.h to
771 libavcodec/avcodec.h.
773 2009-03-22 - r18163 - lavu 50.2.0 - RGB32 pixel formats
774 Convert the pixel formats PIX_FMT_ARGB, PIX_FMT_RGBA, PIX_FMT_ABGR,
775 PIX_FMT_BGRA, which were defined as macros, into enum PixelFormat values.
776 Conversely PIX_FMT_RGB32, PIX_FMT_RGB32_1, PIX_FMT_BGR32 and
777 PIX_FMT_BGR32_1 are now macros.
778 avcodec_get_pix_fmt() now recognizes the "rgb32" and "bgr32" aliases.
779 Re-sort the enum PixelFormat list accordingly.
780 This change breaks API/ABI backward compatibility.
782 2009-03-22 - r18133 - lavu 50.1.0 - PIX_FMT_RGB5X5 endian variants
783 Add the enum PixelFormat values:
784 PIX_FMT_RGB565BE, PIX_FMT_RGB565LE, PIX_FMT_RGB555BE, PIX_FMT_RGB555LE,
785 PIX_FMT_BGR565BE, PIX_FMT_BGR565LE, PIX_FMT_BGR555BE, PIX_FMT_BGR555LE.
787 2009-03-21 - r18116 - lavu 50.0.0 - av_random*
788 The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av_random* functions
789 was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av_lfg* functions
792 2009-03-08 - r17869 - lavu 50.0.0 - AVFifoBuffer
793 av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped
794 and replaced by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write
795 and av_fifo_realloc2.
796 In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read
797 was changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
798 The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
799 applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.
801 2009-03-01 - r17682 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
802 Introduce a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
803 The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially
804 includes the following structure fields:
805 - AVFormatContext.title
806 - AVFormatContext.author
807 - AVFormatContext.copyright
808 - AVFormatContext.comment
809 - AVFormatContext.album
810 - AVFormatContext.year
811 - AVFormatContext.track
812 - AVFormatContext.genre
815 - AVProgram.provider_name
