API changes
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A number of additional APIs have been introduced and some existing
|
|
|
|
|
functions have been deprecated and are scheduled for removal in the next
|
|
|
|
|
release. Significant API changes include:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* new audio decoding API which decodes from an AVPacket to an AVFrame and
|
|
|
|
|
is able to use AVCodecContext.get_buffer() in the similar way as video decoding.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* new audio encoding API which encodes from an AVFrame to an AVPacket, thus
|
|
|
|
|
allowing it to properly output timing information and side data.
|
|

Other notable changes
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Libavcodec and libavformat built as shared libraries now hide non-public
|
|
|
|
|
symbols. This will break applications using those symbols. Possible solutions
|
|
|
|
|
are, in order of preference:
|
|
|
|
|
1) Try finding a way of accomplishing the same with public API.
|
|
|
|
|
2) If there is no corresponding public API, but you think there should be,
|
|
|
|
|
post a request on the developer mailing list or IRC channel.
|
|
|
|
|
3) Finally if your program needs access to FFmpeg / libavcodec / libavformat
|
|
|
|
|
internals for some special reason then the best solution is to link statically.
