869 AV_METADATA_DONT_STRDUP_VAL.
871 2009-12-13 - r20829 - lavu 50.7.0 - avstring.h API
874 2009-12-13 - r20826 - lavc 52.42.0 - AVStream
877 2009-12-12 - r20808 - lavu 50.6.0 - av_bmg_next()
878 Introduce the av_bmg_next() function.
880 2009-12-05 - r20734 - lavfi 1.12.0 - avfilter_draw_slice()
881 Add a slice_dir parameter to avfilter_draw_slice().
883 2009-11-26 - r20611 - lavfi 1.11.0 - AVFilter
884 Remove the next field from AVFilter, this is not anymore required.
886 2009-11-25 - r20607 - lavfi 1.10.0 - avfilter_next()
887 Introduce the avfilter_next() function.
889 2009-11-25 - r20605 - lavfi 1.9.0 - avfilter_register()
890 Change the signature of avfilter_register() to make it return an
891 int. This is required since now the registration operation may fail.
893 2009-11-25 - r20603 - lavu 50.5.0 - pixdesc.h API
894 Make the pixdesc.h API public.
896 2009-10-27 - r20385 - lavfi 1.5.0 - AVFilter.next
897 Add a next field to AVFilter, this is used for simplifying the
898 registration and management of the registered filters.
900 2009-10-23 - r20356 - lavfi 1.4.1 - AVFilter.description
901 Add a description field to AVFilter.
903 2009-10-19 - r20302 - lavfi 1.3.0 - avfilter_make_format_list()
904 Change the interface of avfilter_make_format_list() from
905 avfilter_make_format_list(int n, ...) to
906 avfilter_make_format_list(enum PixelFormat *pix_fmts).
908 2009-10-18 - r20272 - lavfi 1.0.0 - avfilter_get_video_buffer()
909 Make avfilter_get_video_buffer() recursive and add the w and h
912 2009-10-07 - r20189 - lavfi 0.5.1 - AVFilterPic
913 Add w and h fields to AVFilterPic.
915 2009-06-22 - r19250 - lavf 52.34.1 - AVFormatContext.packet_size
916 This is now an unsigned int instead of a signed int.
918 2009-06-19 - r19222 - lavc 52.32.0 - AVSubtitle.pts
919 Add a pts field to AVSubtitle which gives the subtitle packet pts
920 in AV_TIME_BASE. Some subtitle de-/encoders (e.g. XSUB) will
921 not work right without this.
923 2009-06-03 - r19078 - lavc 52.30.2 - AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY
924 PKT_FLAG_KEY has been deprecated and will be dropped at the next
925 major version. Use AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY instead.
927 2009-06-01 - r19025 - lavc 52.30.0 - av_lockmgr_register()
928 av_lockmgr_register() can be used to register a callback function
929 that lavc (and in the future, libraries that depend on lavc) can use
930 to implement mutexes. The application should provide a callback function
931 that implements the AV_LOCK_* operations described in avcodec.h.
932 When the lock manager is registered, FFmpeg is guaranteed to behave
933 correctly in a multi-threaded application.
935 2009-04-30 - r18719 - lavc 52.28.0 - av_free_packet()
936 av_free_packet() is no longer an inline function. It is now exported.
938 2009-04-11 - r18431 - lavc 52.25.0 - deprecate av_destruct_packet_nofree()
939 Please use NULL instead. This has been supported since r16506
940 (lavf > 52.23.1, lavc > 52.10.0).
942 2009-04-07 - r18351 - lavc 52.23.0 - avcodec_decode_video/audio/subtitle
943 The old decoding functions are deprecated, all new code should use the
944 new functions avcodec_decode_video2(), avcodec_decode_audio3() and
945 avcodec_decode_subtitle2(). These new functions take an AVPacket *pkt
946 argument instead of a const uint8_t *buf / int buf_size pair.
948 2009-04-03 - r18321 - lavu 50.3.0 - av_fifo_space()
949 Introduce the av_fifo_space() function.
951 2009-04-02 - r18317 - lavc 52.23.0 - AVPacket
952 Move AVPacket declaration from libavformat/avformat.h to
953 libavcodec/avcodec.h.
955 2009-03-22 - r18163 - lavu 50.2.0 - RGB32 pixel formats
956 Convert the pixel formats PIX_FMT_ARGB, PIX_FMT_RGBA, PIX_FMT_ABGR,
957 PIX_FMT_BGRA, which were defined as macros, into enum PixelFormat values.
958 Conversely PIX_FMT_RGB32, PIX_FMT_RGB32_1, PIX_FMT_BGR32 and
959 PIX_FMT_BGR32_1 are now macros.
960 avcodec_get_pix_fmt() now recognizes the "rgb32" and "bgr32" aliases.
961 Re-sort the enum PixelFormat list accordingly.
962 This change breaks API/ABI backward compatibility.
964 2009-03-22 - r18133 - lavu 50.1.0 - PIX_FMT_RGB5X5 endian variants
965 Add the enum PixelFormat values:
966 PIX_FMT_RGB565BE, PIX_FMT_RGB565LE, PIX_FMT_RGB555BE, PIX_FMT_RGB555LE,
967 PIX_FMT_BGR565BE, PIX_FMT_BGR565LE, PIX_FMT_BGR555BE, PIX_FMT_BGR555LE.
969 2009-03-21 - r18116 - lavu 50.0.0 - av_random*
970 The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av_random* functions
971 was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av_lfg* functions
974 2009-03-08 - r17869 - lavu 50.0.0 - AVFifoBuffer
975 av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped
976 and replaced by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write
977 and av_fifo_realloc2.
978 In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read
979 was changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
980 The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
981 applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.
983 2009-03-01 - r17682 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
984 Introduce a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
985 The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially
986 includes the following structure fields:
987 - AVFormatContext.title
988 - AVFormatContext.author
989 - AVFormatContext.copyright
990 - AVFormatContext.comment
991 - AVFormatContext.album
992 - AVFormatContext.year
993 - AVFormatContext.track
994 - AVFormatContext.genre
997 - AVProgram.provider_name
