Part of the problem is the API kept breaking every other version; ffmpeg is an amazing project for users but has historically been a nightmare to integrate with and package, for this reason.
It's gotten better in the past few years, though, but there's still a lot of legacy codebases that are useless today because they won't build against modern ffmpeg any more (even though the rest of it is fine).
- _Gyan_ 5y agoAPI/ABI is meant to be preserved within a major version, but not across. The deprecation period is typically two years, but deletion is usually much later. Do you have examples to the contrary from the past few years?
