The reason is that after the major bump, the API and ABI are declared to be unstable for some period, so people can freely - break ABI, e.g. by reordering struct members - modify API added during the instability period in an arbitrary way without a new major bump for every such change, that would be normally required. My concern is that the instability period is quite long and there is very little indication for our users that they cannot depend on the ABI/API being stable. So I'm proposing to introduce some mechanism to make this more visible for our callers. Alternatively, we could just not have an instability period at all. -- Anton Khirnov _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
