&lt;bjorn.e.lindgren@telia.com&gt;).
- added mpeg demux (mpeg 1 and 2 compatible).
- added ASF demux.
- added prototype RM demux.
- added AC3 decoding (done with libac3 by Aaron Holtzman).
- added decoding codec parameter guessing (.e.g. for mpeg, because the
header does not include them).
- fixed header generation in mpeg1, AVI and ASF mux : wmplayer can now
play them (only tested video).
- fixed h263 white bug.
- fixed phase rounding in img resample filter.
- add mmx code for polyphase img resample filter.
- added CPU autodetect.

- added SWF demux to extract MP3 track (not usable yet because no MP3
decoder).
- added fractional frame rate support.

segfault).
version 0.4.3:

this +codec ;) (JuanJo).

&lt;lists@reserv.at&gt;, but changed completely since we use a format
instead of a protocol).

- added H263/MPEG4/MSMPEG4 decoding support. MPEG4 decoding support
(for openDIVX) is almost complete: 8x8 MVs and rounding are
missing. MSMPEG4 support is complete.
- added prototype MPEG1 decoder. Only I and P frames handled yet (it
can decode ffmpeg mpegs :-)).
- added libavcodec API documentation (see apiexample.c).

of avi and asf to DIV3.
- added -me option to set motion estimation method
(default=log). suppressed redundant -hq option.

AVI for example).
- fixed -an option.

URL).
- added high quality image resize code with polyphase filter (need
mmx/see optimisation). Enable multiple image size support in ffserver.
- added multi live feed support in ffserver.
- suppressed master feature from ffserver (it should be done with an
external program which opens the .ffm url and writes it to another
ffserver).
- added preliminary support for video stream parsing (wav and avi half
done). Added proper support for audio/video file convertion in
ffmpeg.
- added preliminary support for video file sending from ffserver.
