= Proposed Self Contained Change: VA-API 1.0.0 = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/VA-API_1.0.0 Change owner(s): * Nicolas Chauvet <kwizart - at - fedoraproject.org> This change is about upgrading libva and others to version 2.0. This change affects several multimedia players as there are both API and ABI changes. This will allow some VA-API backends to be updated, improving support for recent hardware. == Detailed Description == Updating to VA-API 1.0.0 will allow to fix and clean-up issues with the API as sum-up in this upstream topic VA-API 1.0.0: https://github.com/intel/libva/issues/72 * fix errors in API/data structure definition, e.g. 01org#32 * add new features, e.g. 01org#69, * deprecate some useless API/data structures, e.g. libva-tpi, libva-egl. * provide other improvement, e.g. use portable type to define data structure. All packages using libva will be rebuilt to take into account the new API/ABI. Futhermore, the intel backend will be updated along (not provided by Fedora). Others VA-API backend such the AMD and NVIDIA backend provided by Fedora within mesa-dri-drivers will work as appropriate. Bridges between VA-API and VDPAU will continue to be supported , this is: * libva-vdpau-driver which allows to use the VA-API enabled players with VDPAU backend (such as NVIDIA binary driver). * libvdpau-va-gl which allows to use the VDPAU API enabled players with VA-API backends (such as intel driver). == Scope == * Proposal owners: - Update and rebuild packages that depend on libva. DONE - Verify that everything is working as appropriate or report issue upstream. TESTING IN PROGRESS. * Other developers: N/A * Release engineering: #7285 : https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7285 * List of deliverables: N/A * Policies and guidelines: N/A * Trademark approval: N/A -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
