I'm all for a.

Let's make a small monthly roadmap. I'm sure we'll want to have a soc release in september, given we'll adopt the quick integration path we used successfully for he rtsp soc last year. A summer release with more api polishing/changes would be useful for sure. I guess the removal of deprecated apis could happen midsummer, but we really need to have people aware of it and try to work with them to cover all the usages. Regarding mt and such I'd like to start deprecanting w32threads once winpthreads from mingw-w64 are released. Obviously I'd like to get feedbacks from our win32 users. lu -- Luca Barbato Gentoo/linux http://dev.gentoo.org/~lu_zero _______________________________________________ libav-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libav.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-devel
