873 Add av_guess_format(), it should be used in place of guess_format().
875 2009-12-13 - r20834 - lavf 52.43.0 - metadata API
876 Add av_metadata_set2(), AV_METADATA_DONT_STRDUP_KEY and

888 2009-12-05 - r20734 - lavfi 1.12.0 - avfilter_draw_slice()
889 Add a slice_dir parameter to avfilter_draw_slice().
891 2009-11-26 - r20611 - lavfi 1.11.0 - AVFilter
892 Remove the next field from AVFilter, this is not anymore required.
894 2009-11-25 - r20607 - lavfi 1.10.0 - avfilter_next()
895 Introduce the avfilter_next() function.
897 2009-11-25 - r20605 - lavfi 1.9.0 - avfilter_register()
898 Change the signature of avfilter_register() to make it return an
899 int. This is required since now the registration operation may fail.
901 2009-11-25 - r20603 - lavu 50.5.0 - pixdesc.h API
902 Make the pixdesc.h API public.
904 2009-10-27 - r20385 - lavfi 1.5.0 - AVFilter.next
905 Add a next field to AVFilter, this is used for simplifying the
906 registration and management of the registered filters.
908 2009-10-23 - r20356 - lavfi 1.4.1 - AVFilter.description
909 Add a description field to AVFilter.
911 2009-10-19 - r20302 - lavfi 1.3.0 - avfilter_make_format_list()
912 Change the interface of avfilter_make_format_list() from
913 avfilter_make_format_list(int n, ...) to
914 avfilter_make_format_list(enum PixelFormat *pix_fmts).
916 2009-10-18 - r20272 - lavfi 1.0.0 - avfilter_get_video_buffer()
917 Make avfilter_get_video_buffer() recursive and add the w and h
920 2009-10-07 - r20189 - lavfi 0.5.1 - AVFilterPic
921 Add w and h fields to AVFilterPic.
923 2009-06-22 - r19250 - lavf 52.34.1 - AVFormatContext.packet_size
924 This is now an unsigned int instead of a signed int.
926 2009-06-19 - r19222 - lavc 52.32.0 - AVSubtitle.pts
927 Add a pts field to AVSubtitle which gives the subtitle packet pts
928 in AV_TIME_BASE. Some subtitle de-/encoders (e.g. XSUB) will
929 not work right without this.
931 2009-06-03 - r19078 - lavc 52.30.2 - AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY
932 PKT_FLAG_KEY has been deprecated and will be dropped at the next
933 major version. Use AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY instead.
935 2009-06-01 - r19025 - lavc 52.30.0 - av_lockmgr_register()
936 av_lockmgr_register() can be used to register a callback function
937 that lavc (and in the future, libraries that depend on lavc) can use
938 to implement mutexes. The application should provide a callback function
939 that implements the AV_LOCK_* operations described in avcodec.h.
940 When the lock manager is registered, FFmpeg is guaranteed to behave
941 correctly in a multi-threaded application.
943 2009-04-30 - r18719 - lavc 52.28.0 - av_free_packet()
944 av_free_packet() is no longer an inline function. It is now exported.
946 2009-04-11 - r18431 - lavc 52.25.0 - deprecate av_destruct_packet_nofree()
947 Please use NULL instead. This has been supported since r16506
948 (lavf > 52.23.1, lavc > 52.10.0).
950 2009-04-07 - r18351 - lavc 52.23.0 - avcodec_decode_video/audio/subtitle
951 The old decoding functions are deprecated, all new code should use the
952 new functions avcodec_decode_video2(), avcodec_decode_audio3() and
953 avcodec_decode_subtitle2(). These new functions take an AVPacket *pkt
954 argument instead of a const uint8_t *buf / int buf_size pair.
956 2009-04-03 - r18321 - lavu 50.3.0 - av_fifo_space()
957 Introduce the av_fifo_space() function.
959 2009-04-02 - r18317 - lavc 52.23.0 - AVPacket
960 Move AVPacket declaration from libavformat/avformat.h to
961 libavcodec/avcodec.h.
963 2009-03-22 - r18163 - lavu 50.2.0 - RGB32 pixel formats
964 Convert the pixel formats PIX_FMT_ARGB, PIX_FMT_RGBA, PIX_FMT_ABGR,
965 PIX_FMT_BGRA, which were defined as macros, into enum PixelFormat values.
966 Conversely PIX_FMT_RGB32, PIX_FMT_RGB32_1, PIX_FMT_BGR32 and
967 PIX_FMT_BGR32_1 are now macros.
968 avcodec_get_pix_fmt() now recognizes the "rgb32" and "bgr32" aliases.
969 Re-sort the enum PixelFormat list accordingly.
970 This change breaks API/ABI backward compatibility.
972 2009-03-22 - r18133 - lavu 50.1.0 - PIX_FMT_RGB5X5 endian variants
973 Add the enum PixelFormat values:
974 PIX_FMT_RGB565BE, PIX_FMT_RGB565LE, PIX_FMT_RGB555BE, PIX_FMT_RGB555LE,
975 PIX_FMT_BGR565BE, PIX_FMT_BGR565LE, PIX_FMT_BGR555BE, PIX_FMT_BGR555LE.
977 2009-03-21 - r18116 - lavu 50.0.0 - av_random*
978 The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av_random* functions
979 was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av_lfg* functions
982 2009-03-08 - r17869 - lavu 50.0.0 - AVFifoBuffer
983 av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped
984 and replaced by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write
985 and av_fifo_realloc2.
986 In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read
987 was changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
988 The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
989 applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.
991 2009-03-01 - r17682 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
992 Introduce a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
993 The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially
994 includes the following structure fields:
995 - AVFormatContext.title
996 - AVFormatContext.author
997 - AVFormatContext.copyright
998 - AVFormatContext.comment
999 - AVFormatContext.album
1000 - AVFormatContext.year
1001 - AVFormatContext.track
1002 - AVFormatContext.genre
1005 - AVProgram.provider_name
