It is not used in any filters currently and is inherently evil. If
passing binary data to filters is required in the future, it should be
done with some AVOptions-based system.
avfilter_draw_slice() is already called in the end_frame() callback,
this avoids multiple calls. This is done by adding a null draw_slice()
callback.
In particular fix crash occurring with -vf transpose=3,hflip, fix trac
issue #371.
Improve consistency with libavcodec.
This breaks libavfilter API/ABI.
The non-sequential 2.1.0 -> 2.4.0 bump is due to the mess previously
done with the lavfi minor number.
It is pretty hopeless that other considerable projects will adopt
libavutil alone in other projects. Projects that need small footprint
are better off with more specialized libraries such as gnulib or rather
just copy the necessary parts that they need. With this in mind, nobody
is helped by having libavutil and libavcore split. In order to ease
maintenance inside and around FFmpeg and to reduce confusion where to
put common code, avcore's functionality is merged (back) to avutil.
