最近一两年内FFmpeg项目发展的速度很快,本来是一件好事。但是随之而来的问题就是其API(接口函数)一直在发生变动。这么一来基于旧一点版本的FFmpeg的程序的代码在最新的类库上可能就跑不通了。
例如一年前的程序中,获取媒体信息使用的函数是av_find_stream_info()。但是最近的版本中,av_find_stream_info()函数已经无法使用了,取而代之的是avformat_find_stream_info()。再比如,早一些的程序中,打开解码器可以使用avcodec_open(),但是新版本的程序中必须使用avcodec_open2()。而早期版本的FFmpeg中打开媒体的函数av_open_input_file()也已经被avformat_open_input()所取代。可以看出一些与libavformat相关的av_***()都变更为了avformat_***(),这一趋势也说明FFmpeg的API正在慢慢朝着“名称更加规范”的方向发展。
在FFmpeg的doc目录下碰巧看到了一个FFmpeg的API变更记录,记载了到今天为止FFmpeg所有的API变化情况,在这里记录一下。
整个文件中主要有三种记录:
Add:新增的
Change/Rename:修改的
Deprecate:过时的。以后很有可能删除。
Remove:删除的
文件位于doc/APIchanges,内容如下。
    
     Never assume the API of libav* to be stable unless at least 1 month has passed
     
     since the last major version increase or the API was added.

     Add mime_type field to AVProbeData, which now MUST be initialized in
     
     order to avoid uninitialized reads of the mime_type pointer, likely
     
     leading to crashes.
     
     Typically, this means you will do ‘AVProbeData pd = { 0 };’ instead of
     
     ‘AVProbeData pd;’.

     The proper way for providing a hint about the desired timebase to the muxers
     
     is now setting AVStream.time_base, instead of AVStream.codec.time_base as was
     
     done previously. The old method is now deprecated.

     Add AVCodecContext.side_data_only_packets to allow encoders to output packets
     
     with only side data. This option may become mandatory in the future, so all
     
     users are recommended to update their code and enable this option.
     2014-06-01 – 6e8e9f1 / 8c02adc – lavu 52.88.100 / 53.16.0 – frame.h, pixfmt.h

     Remove the next field from AVFilter, this is not anymore required.
     2009-11-25 – 1433c4a – lavfi 1.10.0 – avfilter_next()

     2009-11-25 – 86a60fa – lavfi 1.9.0 – avfilter_register()
     
     Change the signature of avfilter_register() to make it return an
     
     int. This is required since now the registration operation may fail.
     2009-11-25 – 74a0059 – lavu 50.5.0 – pixdesc.h API
     
     Make the pixdesc.h API public.
     2009-10-27 – 243110f – lavfi 1.5.0 – AVFilter.next

     Add a description field to AVFilter.
     2009-10-19 – 6b5dc05 – lavfi 1.3.0 – avfilter_make_format_list()
     
     Change the interface of avfilter_make_format_list() from
     
     avfilter_make_format_list(int n, …) to
     
     avfilter_make_format_list(enum PixelFormat *pix_fmts).
     2009-10-18 – 0eb4ff9 – lavfi 1.0.0 – avfilter_get_video_buffer()

     2009-06-22 – 92400be – lavf 52.34.1 – AVFormatContext.packet_size
     
     This is now an unsigned int instead of a signed int.
     2009-06-19 – a4276ba – lavc 52.32.0 – AVSubtitle.pts
     
     Add a pts field to AVSubtitle which gives the subtitle packet pts
     
     in AV_TIME_BASE. Some subtitle de-/encoders (e.g. XSUB) will
     
     not work right without this.
     2009-06-03 – 8f3f2e0 – lavc 52.30.2 – AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY
     
     PKT_FLAG_KEY has been deprecated and will be dropped at the next
     
     major version. Use AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY instead.
     2009-06-01 – f988ce6 – lavc 52.30.0 – av_lockmgr_register()
     
     av_lockmgr_register() can be used to register a callback function
     
     that lavc (and in the future, libraries that depend on lavc) can use
     
     to implement mutexes. The application should provide a callback function
     
     that implements the AV_LOCK_* operations described in avcodec.h.
     
     When the lock manager is registered, FFmpeg is guaranteed to behave
     
     correctly in a multi-threaded application.
     2009-04-30 – ce1d9c8 – lavc 52.28.0 – av_free_packet()
     
     av_free_packet() is no longer an inline function. It is now exported.
     2009-04-11 – 80d403f – lavc 52.25.0 – deprecate av_destruct_packet_nofree()
     
     Please use NULL instead. This has been supported since r16506
     
     (lavf > 52.23.1, lavc > 52.10.0).
     2009-04-07 – 7a00bba – lavc 52.23.0 – avcodec_decode_video/audio/subtitle
     
     The old decoding functions are deprecated, all new code should use the
     
     new functions avcodec_decode_video2(), avcodec_decode_audio3() and
     
     avcodec_decode_subtitle2(). These new functions take an AVPacket *pkt
     
     argument instead of a const uint8_t *buf / int buf_size pair.
     2009-04-03 – 7b09db3 – lavu 50.3.0 – av_fifo_space()
     
     Introduce the av_fifo_space() function.
     2009-04-02 – fabd246 – lavc 52.23.0 – AVPacket
     
     Move AVPacket declaration from libavformat/avformat.h to
     
     libavcodec/avcodec.h.
     2009-03-22 – 6e08ca9 – lavu 50.2.0 – RGB32 pixel formats
     
     Convert the pixel formats PIX_FMT_ARGB, PIX_FMT_RGBA, PIX_FMT_ABGR,
     
     PIX_FMT_BGRA, which were defined as macros, into enum PixelFormat values.
     
     Conversely PIX_FMT_RGB32, PIX_FMT_RGB32_1, PIX_FMT_BGR32 and
     
     PIX_FMT_BGR32_1 are now macros.
     
     avcodec_get_pix_fmt() now recognizes the “rgb32” and “bgr32” aliases.
     
     Re-sort the enum PixelFormat list accordingly.
     
     This change breaks API/ABI backward compatibility.
     2009-03-22 – f82674e – lavu 50.1.0 – PIX_FMT_RGB5X5 endian variants
     
     Add the enum PixelFormat values:
     
     PIX_FMT_RGB565BE, PIX_FMT_RGB565LE, PIX_FMT_RGB555BE, PIX_FMT_RGB555LE,
     
     PIX_FMT_BGR565BE, PIX_FMT_BGR565LE, PIX_FMT_BGR555BE, PIX_FMT_BGR555LE.
     2009-03-21 – ee6624e – lavu 50.0.0  – av_random*
     
     The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av_random* functions
     
     was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av_lfg* functions
     
     instead.
     2009-03-08 – 41dd680 – lavu 50.0.0  – AVFifoBuffer
     
     av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped
     
     and replaced by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write
     
     and av_fifo_realloc2.
     
     In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read
     
     was changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
     
     The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
     
     applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.
     2009-03-01 – ec26457 – lavf 52.31.0 – Generic metadata API
     
     Introduce a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
     
     The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially
     
     includes the following structure fields:
     
     – AVFormatContext.title
     
     – AVFormatContext.author
     
     – AVFormatContext.copyright
     
     – AVFormatContext.comment
     
     – AVFormatContext.album
     
     – AVFormatContext.year
     
     – AVFormatContext.track
     
     – AVFormatContext.genre
     
     – AVStream.language
     
     – AVStream.filename
     
     – AVProgram.provider_name
     
     – AVProgram.name
     
     – AVChapter.title
