  117. av_lockmgr_register() can be used to register a callback function
  118. that lavc (and in the future, libraries that depend on lavc) can use
  119. to implement mutexes. The application should provide a callback function
  120. that implements the AV_LOCK_* operations described in avcodec.h.
  121. When the lock manager is registered, FFmpeg is guaranteed to behave
  122. correctly in a multi-threaded application.
  123. 2009-04-30 - r18719 - lavc 52.28.0 - av_free_packet

  129. The old decoding functions are deprecated, all new code should use the
  130. new functions avcodec_decode_video2(), avcodec_decode_audio3() and
  131. avcodec_decode_subtitle2(). These new functions take an AVPacket *pkt
  132. argument instead of a const uint8_t *buf / int buf_size pair.
  133. 2009-04-03 - r18321 - lavu 50.3.0 - av_fifo_space
  134. Introduce the av_fifo_space() function.

  137. libavcodec/avcodec.h.
  138. 2009-03-22 - r18163 - lavu 50.2.0 - RGB32 pixel formats
  139. Convert the pixel formats PIX_FMT_ARGB, PIX_FMT_RGBA, PIX_FMT_ABGR,
  140. PIX_FMT_BGRA, which were defined as macros, into enum PixelFormat values.
  141. Conversely PIX_FMT_RGB32, PIX_FMT_RGB32_1, PIX_FMT_BGR32 and
  142. PIX_FMT_BGR32_1 are now macros.
  143. avcodec_get_pix_fmt() now recognizes the "rgb32" and "bgr32" aliases.
  144. Re-sort the enum PixelFormat list accordingly.
  145. This change breaks API/ABI backward compatibility.
  146. 2009-03-22 - r18133 - lavu 50.1.0 - PIX_FMT_RGB5X5 endian variants
  147. Add the enum PixelFormat values:
  148. PIX_FMT_RGB565BE, PIX_FMT_RGB565LE, PIX_FMT_RGB555BE, PIX_FMT_RGB555LE,
  149. PIX_FMT_BGR565BE, PIX_FMT_BGR565LE, PIX_FMT_BGR555BE, PIX_FMT_BGR555LE.
  150. 2009-03-21 - r18116 - lavu 50.0.0 - av_random*
  151. The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av_random* functions
  152. was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av_lfg* functions
  153. instead.
  154. 2009-03-08 - r17869 - lavu 50.0.0 - AVFifoBuffer
  155. av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped
  156. and replaced by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write
  157. and av_fifo_realloc2.
  158. In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read
  159. was changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
  160. The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
  161. applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.
  162. 2009-03-01 - r17682 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
  163. Introduce a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
  164. The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially
  165. includes the following structure fields:
  166. - AVFormatContext.title
  167. - AVFormatContext.author
  168. - AVFormatContext.copyright
  169. - AVFormatContext.comment
  170. - AVFormatContext.album
  171. - AVFormatContext.year
  172. - AVFormatContext.track
  173. - AVFormatContext.genre
  174. - AVStream.language
  175. - AVStream.filename
  176. - AVProgram.provider_name
  177. - AVProgram.name
