The bump also allows us to enable protocol private +options in libavformat and fix some outstanding problems with options passing in +the libx264 wrapper. +</p> + +<p> +Furthermore, the legacy <b>ffmpeg</b> conversion tool has been removed. Only +<b>avconv</b> is available now. Shared builds of Libav now also disable the +<b>avserver</b> tool. <b>avserver</b> can only be linked with Libav statically +because it uses internal library symbols (volunteers to fix this are very +welcome). +</p> + <a name="0.8"></a><h3>Jan 21 2012</h3> <p> _______________________________________________ libav-commits mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libav.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-commits
