This release continues the API cleanups that have begun with the previous release. While it is binary compatible with 0.7, many parts of the public API were deprecated and will be removed in the git master and later releases. Please consult the doc/APIchanges file to see intended replacements for the deprecated APIs. Furthermore, our work on the 'ffmpeg' command-line tool has resulted in major revisions to its interface. In order to not break existing scripts and applications, we have chosen to introduce a new tool called 'avconv', and keep the traditional 'ffmpeg' frontend for end-user's convenience.

This change confuses me. Also, nothing has been removed. 0.8 will be binary and API compatible with 0.7 (unless someone disagrees). > > @@ -38,15 +39,10 @@ APIs have been deprecated and are scheduled for removal > in the next release. > Other notable changes > --------------------- > > -- many ARM NEON optimizations > -- libswscale cleanup started, optimizations should become easier in the > future > -- nonfree libfaad support for AAC decoding removed > -- 4:4:4 H.264 decoding > -- 9/10bit H.264 decoding > -- Win64 Assembler support > -- native MMSH/MMST support > -- Windows TV demuxing > -- native AMR-WB decoding > -- native GSM-MS decoding > -- SMPTE 302M decoding > -- AVS encoding > +- All codecs and formats now support private options, see the > + documentation for details > +- because of the above, the .ffpreset files have been dropped. the > + libx264 wrapper supports the private options -presets, -tune and > + -profile private options as replacement > +- many additional ARM NEON, MMX and AVX optimizations > +- libswscale clenaups continue I'm confused, how is this list different from changelog? Shouldn't this stuff go there instead? Also, presets are supported again and used by vp8. -- Anton Khirnov _______________________________________________ libav-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libav.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-devel
