Deprecation periods etc. are only common for API breaks; we do not guarantee that any particular filter etc. stays available and therefore occasionally remove them without deprecation. Examples of this are the removal of libopenjpeg in 60ccb3fe787, the removal of libwavpackenc in 45070eec4c or the removal of the XvMC hardware acceleration in be95df12bb06 (the last commit was accompanied by cefa595361db9 and b648ece34b6f which deprecated the parts of XvMC that were part of the public API and therefore subject to the API stability contract). - Andreas _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
