Hi all

As it was a little difficult for me to not loose track of what is
blocking a release. I suggest that for all release blocking issues
open a ticket and set Blocking to 7.0
that way this:
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/query?blocking=~7.0

or for the ones not closed:
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/query?status=new&status=open&status=reopened&blocking=~7.0

will list all blocking issues

Ive added one, for testing that, i intend to add more if i see something

What is blocking? (IMHO)
* regressions (unless its non possible to fix before release)
* crashes
* security issues
* data loss
* privacy issues
* anything the commuity agrees should be in the release

thx



My EXIF overhaul is going to be an ABI break so I'd like to get it in,
if and only if we are doing an ABI break with the release.


What EXIF overhaul? Since when is EXIF part of the ABI?

- Andreas


I'm working on a patch to centralize a lot of the exif logic and make it easier for decoders to attach it to an AVFrame as side data, rather than dumping all the key/value pairs into AVFrame.metadata and then hoping that an encoder can serialize them out properly.

As for ABI, there's an avpriv in libavcodec/exif.c that is called by the AVI demuxer in avformat. My plan is to expose some of these exif parse routines as a proper av_ API, and replace that avpriv_ call with a call to the new API. I mentioned this to James on IRC and he said it would have to go in during an ABI flexibility period.

Removing avpriv_ symbols has to be during a major bump, but they can always just remain in place until the next. If your work can't be finished on time (or reviews end up taking too long), then removing said symbols can wait, so we don't delay 7.0 just for it.
