FFmpeg weekly news #2
After the extreemly popular recent changes in ffmpeg blog post, here are the next news, precissely 1 well something ;) afterwards
Note, errors and ommissions are unintended and if you spot any tell me and ill fix them (except spelling and grammer i wont bother fixing these)
- More work and patches by ronald and luca to get the IPv6 related code closer to being functional
- diego removed Metrowerks Codewarrior support due to it being unmaintained, broken and making the code more ugly (also not a single person complained so there is likely no one using it)
- Altivec runtime detection fix/cleanup and messup
- The remaining H.264 PAFF patches from jeff downs hit svn, sadly this also caused a slowdown of the decoder, so this needs more work to prevent this slowdown
- reimar removed the extreemly broken SIGILL based cpu extension detection code, the SIGILL code should have never been commited in the first place …
- luca barbato added support for a user specifyable maximum number of frames per RTP packet
- a optimized VP3 IDCT for blackfin by marc hoffman
- mans changed configure to use pr instead of cat -n as later is not standard, this will likely cause some minor annoyance to some users of non standard systems well fix your system, dont expect every lib and application to workaround it!
