719 2009-11-25 - r20607 - lavfi 1.10.0 - avfilter_next()
720 Introduce the avfilter_next() function.
722 2009-11-25 - r20605 - lavfi 1.9.0 - avfilter_register()
723 Change the signature of avfilter_register() to make it return an
724 int. This is required since now the registration operation may fail.
726 2009-11-25 - r20603 - lavu 50.5.0 - pixdesc.h API
727 Make the pixdesc.h API public.
729 2009-10-27 - r20385 - lavfi 1.5.0 - AVFilter.next

742 Make avfilter_get_video_buffer() recursive and add the w and h
745 2009-10-07 - r20189 - lavfi 0.5.1 - AVFilterPic
746 Add w and h fields to AVFilterPic.
748 2009-06-22 - r19250 - lavf 52.34.1 - AVFormatContext.packet_size
749 This is now an unsigned int instead of a signed int.
751 2009-06-19 - r19222 - lavc 52.32.0 - AVSubtitle.pts
752 Add a pts field to AVSubtitle which gives the subtitle packet pts
753 in AV_TIME_BASE. Some subtitle de-/encoders (e.g. XSUB) will
754 not work right without this.
756 2009-06-03 - r19078 - lavc 52.30.2 - AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY
757 PKT_FLAG_KEY has been deprecated and will be dropped at the next
758 major version. Use AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY instead.
760 2009-06-01 - r19025 - lavc 52.30.0 - av_lockmgr_register()
761 av_lockmgr_register() can be used to register a callback function
762 that lavc (and in the future, libraries that depend on lavc) can use
763 to implement mutexes. The application should provide a callback function
764 that implements the AV_LOCK_* operations described in avcodec.h.
765 When the lock manager is registered, FFmpeg is guaranteed to behave
766 correctly in a multi-threaded application.
768 2009-04-30 - r18719 - lavc 52.28.0 - av_free_packet()
769 av_free_packet() is no longer an inline function. It is now exported.
771 2009-04-11 - r18431 - lavc 52.25.0 - deprecate av_destruct_packet_nofree()
772 Please use NULL instead. This has been supported since r16506
773 (lavf > 52.23.1, lavc > 52.10.0).
775 2009-04-07 - r18351 - lavc 52.23.0 - avcodec_decode_video/audio/subtitle
776 The old decoding functions are deprecated, all new code should use the
777 new functions avcodec_decode_video2(), avcodec_decode_audio3() and
778 avcodec_decode_subtitle2(). These new functions take an AVPacket *pkt
779 argument instead of a const uint8_t *buf / int buf_size pair.
781 2009-04-03 - r18321 - lavu 50.3.0 - av_fifo_space()
782 Introduce the av_fifo_space() function.
784 2009-04-02 - r18317 - lavc 52.23.0 - AVPacket
785 Move AVPacket declaration from libavformat/avformat.h to
786 libavcodec/avcodec.h.
788 2009-03-22 - r18163 - lavu 50.2.0 - RGB32 pixel formats
789 Convert the pixel formats PIX_FMT_ARGB, PIX_FMT_RGBA, PIX_FMT_ABGR,
790 PIX_FMT_BGRA, which were defined as macros, into enum PixelFormat values.
791 Conversely PIX_FMT_RGB32, PIX_FMT_RGB32_1, PIX_FMT_BGR32 and
792 PIX_FMT_BGR32_1 are now macros.
793 avcodec_get_pix_fmt() now recognizes the "rgb32" and "bgr32" aliases.
794 Re-sort the enum PixelFormat list accordingly.
795 This change breaks API/ABI backward compatibility.
797 2009-03-22 - r18133 - lavu 50.1.0 - PIX_FMT_RGB5X5 endian variants
798 Add the enum PixelFormat values:
799 PIX_FMT_RGB565BE, PIX_FMT_RGB565LE, PIX_FMT_RGB555BE, PIX_FMT_RGB555LE,
800 PIX_FMT_BGR565BE, PIX_FMT_BGR565LE, PIX_FMT_BGR555BE, PIX_FMT_BGR555LE.
802 2009-03-21 - r18116 - lavu 50.0.0 - av_random*
803 The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av_random* functions
804 was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av_lfg* functions
807 2009-03-08 - r17869 - lavu 50.0.0 - AVFifoBuffer
808 av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped
809 and replaced by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write
810 and av_fifo_realloc2.
811 In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read
812 was changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
813 The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
814 applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.
816 2009-03-01 - r17682 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
817 Introduce a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
818 The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially
819 includes the following structure fields:
820 - AVFormatContext.title
821 - AVFormatContext.author
822 - AVFormatContext.copyright
823 - AVFormatContext.comment
824 - AVFormatContext.album
825 - AVFormatContext.year
826 - AVFormatContext.track
827 - AVFormatContext.genre
830 - AVProgram.provider_name
