libx264.c backport
|
||||
------------------
|

|

This release includes a backport to the libx264 wrapper that allows FFmpeg to
|
||||
be compiled against newer versions of libx264 up to API version 85.

|

licensing changes
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Previously both libswscale and our AC-3 decoder had GPLed parts. These have
|
||||
been replaced by fresh LGPL code. x86 optimizations for libswscale remain GPL,
|
||||
but the C code is fully functional. Optimizations for other architectures have
|
||||
been relicensed to LGPL.
|
||||
|
||||
AMR-NB decoding/encoding and AMR-WB decoding is now possible through the free
|
||||
software OpenCORE libraries as an alternative to the non-free libamr libraries.
|
||||
|
||||
We found out that libfaac contains non-free parts and is not LGPL as previously
|
||||
claimed. We have changed configure to reflect this. You now have to pass the
|
||||
--enable-nonfree option if you wish to compile with libfaac support enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore the non-free bits in libavcodec/fdctref.c have been rewritten. Note
|
||||
well that they were only used in a test program and never compiled into any
|
||||
FFmpeg library.
