We started defauling to nasm 8 years ago.
We are still compatible with yasm 0.8.0, released in 2009. **15 years ago**.
The time has more than come to remove support for it.
Maintaining compatibility started cutting into writing new code long ago.
We still can't have 2-argument instructions, preprocessor booleans, and all
AVX2 code must still be wrapped in ifdefs. Newly added code often breaks this.
The FATE tests for MSVC versions older than 2013 are untested in FATE
and apparently are no longer supported.
This commit makes the configure process error out in case an older version
is used, and suggests to use a supported version of MSVC to compile.
This also changes the documentation to reflect this.
As discussed on IRC:
2018-05-12 19:45:16 jamrial then again, most of those were for old msvc, and i think we're not supporting versions older than 2013 (first one c99 compliant) anymore
2018-05-12 19:45:43 +JEEB yea, I think 2013 update 2 is needed
22:53 <@atomnuker> nevcairiel: which commit broke/unsupported support for msvc 2013?
23:23 <@atomnuker> okay, it was JEEB
23:25 <+JEEB> which was for 2012 and older
23:25 <+JEEB> and IIRC we no longer test those in FATE so that was my assumption
23:26 <+JEEB> 2013 is when MS got trolled enough to actually update their C part
23:26 <+JEEB> aand actually advertised FFmpeg support
23:26 <+JEEB> (although it was semi-failing until VS2013 update 1 or 2)

NASM is more actively maintained and permits generating dependency information
as a sideeffect of assembling, thus cutting build times in half.

The library has stopped being developed and Debian has removed it
from its repositories citing security issues.
The native Dirac decoder supports everything the library has and basic
encoding support is still provided via the native vc2 (Dirac Pro, intra
only version of Dirac) encoder. Hence, there's no reason to still support
linking to the library and potentially leading users into security issues.
Supporting the system was a nice joke for the 9 release, but it has
run its course. Nowadays Plan 9 receives no testing and has no
practical usefulness.
There is really no need for two aac wrappers, we already have
libfdk-aac which is better. Not to mention that faac doesn't
even support HEv1, or HEv2. It's also under a license which is
unusable for distribution, so it would only be useful to people
who will compile their own ffmpeg, only use it themselves (which
at that point should just use fdk-aac).

It's better to steer users at these, since they are both better
and more alive than the mingw.org versions.

Also update the C99 converter URL, since it uses GitHub Releases
to host the binaries now.

Only deprecated things need this at all anymore, as we have functions
to access them or they are no longer needed.
The document should not encourage use of deprecated APIs.

This adds support for building on Plan 9 x86-32. The compat/plan9
directory contains these items:
- replacements for the 'head' and 'printf' shell commands
- wrapper for main() to disable FPU exceptions
Larger required changes to the system are described in the
documentation.

This practice is not supported by the MinGW developers, and even requires
patching the MinGW runtimes in newer versions. Furthermore, we now support
build with MSVC, so this section is rendered useless.
