| Never assume the API of libav* to be stable unless at least 1 week has passed since |
| the last major version increase. |
| The last version increases were: |
| libavcodec: ? |
| libavdevice: ? |
| libavfilter: ? |
| libavformat: ? |
| libpostproc: ? |
| libswscale: ? |
| libavutil: 2009-03-08 |
| |
| |
| API changes, most recent first: |
| |
| 2009-03-21 - r18116 - lavu 50.2.0 - av_random* |
| The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av_random* functions |
| was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av_lfg* functions |
| instead. |
| |
| |
| 2009-03-08 - r17869 - lavu 50.0.0 - AVFifoBuffer |
| av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped |
| and replaced by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write |
| and av_fifo_realloc2. |
| In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read |
| were changed to match av_fifo_generic_write. |
| The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by |
| applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members. |
| |
| 2009-03-01 - r17682 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API |
| Introduce a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends). |
| The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially |
| includes the following structure fields: |
| - AVFormatContext.title |
| - AVFormatContext.author |
| - AVFormatContext.copyright |
| - AVFormatContext.comment |
| - AVFormatContext.album |
| - AVFormatContext.year |
| - AVFormatContext.track |
| - AVFormatContext.genre |
| - AVStream.language |
| - AVStream.filename |
| - AVProgram.provider_name |
| - AVProgram.name |
