=============
|
|
|
|
* 0.8 "Forbidden Fruit"
|
|
|
|
General notes
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
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. Please see the Changelog file for details how 'avconv'
|
|
differs from 'ffmpeg'.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, this release introduces a number of new interesting codecs
|
|
such as the Apple Prores, Flash Screen Video 2 and Windows Media Image,
|
|
and muxers such as LATM or CELT in Ogg, among many others. Moreover, our
|
|
H.264 decoder has been improved to decode 4:2:2 material and our libx264
|
|
wrapper now allows to produce 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 video.
|
|
|
|
See the Changelog file for a list of significant changes.
|
|
|
|
Please note that our policy on bug reports has not changed. We still only accept
|
|
bug reports against HEAD of the Libav trunk repository. If you are experiencing
|
|
issues with any formally released version of Libav, please try a current version
|
|
of the development code to check if the issue still exists. If it does, make your
|
|
report against the development code following the usual bug reporting guidelines.

|
API changes
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
A number of additional APIs have been introduced and some existing
|
|
functions have been deprecated and are scheduled for removal in the next
|
|
release. Please see the file doc/APIchanges for details along with
|
|
similar programmer-centric information.
