- 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.
-
- Please see the git history and the file doc/APIchanges for details.

-
- 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.
-
- Please see the Changelog file and git history for a more detailed list of changes.
