Specifically, the data buffers used by <b>AVPacket</b> +and <b>AVFrame</b> can now be <b>reference counted</b>, which should +allow to significantly simplify many use cases. In addition, +reference-counted AVFrames> can now be used in libavfilter, avoiding the +need for a separate libavfilter-specific frame structure. Frames can now +be passed straight from the decoders into filters or from filters to +encoders. +</p> + +<p> +These additions made it necessary to bump the major versions of <b>libavcodec</b>, +<b>libavformat</b>, <b>libavdevice</b>, <b>libavfilter</b>, +and <b>libavutil</b>, which was accompanied by dropping some old +deprecated APIs. These libraries are thus not ABI- or API- compatible +with the previous release. All the other libraries (libavresample and +libswscale) remain ABI- and API-compatible. +</p> + +<p> +Another major point is the inclusion of the <b>HEVC</b> (AKA H.265, the +successor of H.264) decoder in the main codebase. It was started in 2012 +as a Libav Google Summer of Code project by Guillaume Martres and +subsequently completed with the assistance of the OpenHEVC project and +several Libav developers. +</p> + +<p> +As usual, this release also contains support for other new formats, many +smaller new features and countless bug fixes. We can highlight +a <b>native VP9 decoder</b>, with encoding provided through +libvpx, <b>native decoders for WebP, JPEG 2000, and AIC</b>, as well as +<b>improved WavPack support</b> with encoding through libwavpack, support for +<b>more AAC flavors</b> (LD - low delay, ELD - enhanced low delay), +<b>slice multithreading in libavfilter</b>, or <b>muxing chapters in +ASF</b>. Furthermore a few <b>new filters</b> have been introduced, namely +compand, to change audio dynamics, framepack, to create stereoscopic +videos, asetpts, to set audio pts, and interlace, to convert progressive +video to interlaced. Finally there is more fine-grained detection of +host and target libc, which should allow better portability to various +cross compilation scenarios. +</p> + +<p> +See the +<a href="http://git.libav.org/?p=libav.git;a=blob;f=Changelog;hb=refs/tags/v10";>Changelog file</a></li> +for a fuller list of significant changes. +</p> + +<p> +You can download the new release, as usual, +from <a href="download.html#release_10">our download page</a>. +</p> + + <a name="9.12_0.8.11"></a><h3>March 14, 2014</h3> <p> We are happy to update three release branches: Today, we provide you with -- 1.8.3.2 _______________________________________________ libav-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libav.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-devel
