Log Message:
Update to 2.4.1:
The FFmpeg Project proudly presents FFmpeg 2.4 "Fresnel", just 2 months
after the release of 2.3. Since this wasn't a long time ago, the Changelog
is a bit short this time.
The most important thing in this release is the major version bump of the
libraries. This means that this release is neither ABI-compatible nor
fully API-compatible. But on the other hand it is aligned with the Libav
11 release series, and will as a result probably end up being maintained for
a long time.
Important API changes since 2.3:
⢠The new field mime_type was added to AVProbeData, which can
cause crashes, if it is not initialized.
⢠Some deprecated functions were removed.
⢠The avfilter_graph_parse function was made compatible with Libav.
⢠The Matroska demuxer now outputs verbatim ASS packets.
Please refer to the doc/APIchanges file for more information.
libavformat
⢠Icecast protocol.
⢠API for live metadata updates through event flags.
⢠UTF-16 support in text subtitles formats.
⢠The ASS muxer now reorders the Dialogue events properly.
⢠support for H.261 RTP payload format (RFC 4587)
⢠HEVC/H.265 RTP payload format (draft v6) depacketizer
libavfilter
⢠Ported lenscorrection filter from frei0r filter.
⢠Large optimizations in dctdnoiz to make it usable.
⢠Added codecview filter to visualize information exported by some codecs.
⢠Added silenceremove filter.
libavutil
⢠Added clip() function in eval.
Behaviour changes
⢠dctdnoiz filter now uses a block size of 8x8 instead of 16x16 by default
⢠-vismv option is deprecated in favor of the codecview filter
⢠libmodplug is now detected through pkg-config
⢠HTML documentation generation through texi2html is deprecated in
favor of makeinfo/texi2any
⢠ICY metadata are now requested by default with the HTTP protocol
