  200. av_lockmgr_register() can be used to register a callback function
  201. that lavc (and in the future, libraries that depend on lavc) can use
  202. to implement mutexes. The application should provide a callback function
  203. that implements the AV_LOCK_* operations described in avcodec.h.

  205. correctly in a multi-threaded application.
  206. 2009-04-30 - r18719 - lavc 52.28.0 - av_free_packet()

  212. The old decoding functions are deprecated, all new code should use the
  213. new functions avcodec_decode_video2(), avcodec_decode_audio3() and
  214. avcodec_decode_subtitle2(). These new functions take an AVPacket *pkt
  215. argument instead of a const uint8_t *buf / int buf_size pair.
  216. 2009-04-03 - r18321 - lavu 50.3.0 - av_fifo_space()
  217. Introduce the av_fifo_space() function.

  222. Convert the pixel formats PIX_FMT_ARGB, PIX_FMT_RGBA, PIX_FMT_ABGR,
  223. PIX_FMT_BGRA, which were defined as macros, into enum PixelFormat values.
  224. Conversely PIX_FMT_RGB32, PIX_FMT_RGB32_1, PIX_FMT_BGR32 and
  225. PIX_FMT_BGR32_1 are now macros.
  226. avcodec_get_pix_fmt() now recognizes the "rgb32" and "bgr32" aliases.
  227. Re-sort the enum PixelFormat list accordingly.
  228. This change breaks API/ABI backward compatibility.
  229. 2009-03-22 - r18133 - lavu 50.1.0 - PIX_FMT_RGB5X5 endian variants
  230. Add the enum PixelFormat values:

  232. PIX_FMT_BGR565BE, PIX_FMT_BGR565LE, PIX_FMT_BGR555BE, PIX_FMT_BGR555LE.
  233. 2009-03-21 - r18116 - lavu 50.0.0 - av_random*
  234. The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av_random* functions
  235. was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av_lfg* functions
  236. instead.
  237. 2009-03-08 - r17869 - lavu 50.0.0 - AVFifoBuffer
  238. av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped
  239. and replaced by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write
  240. and av_fifo_realloc2.
  241. In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read
  242. was changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
  243. The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
  244. applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.
  245. 2009-03-01 - r17682 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
  246. Introduce a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
  247. The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially
  248. includes the following structure fields:
  249. - AVFormatContext.title
  250. - AVFormatContext.author
  251. - AVFormatContext.copyright
  252. - AVFormatContext.comment
  253. - AVFormatContext.album
