MEDIA - LIBVA AND INTEL-VAAPI-DRIVER
LIBVA 2.0.0
Bump VA-API version to 1.0.0 and libva to 2.0.0
Add new API for H264 FEI support
Add definition of VA_FOURCC_I420
Add functions for converting common enums to strings
Deprecate H.264 baseline profile and FMO support
Deprecate packed misc packed header flag
Delete libva-tpi and libva-egl backends
Refine VASliceParameterBufferHEVC, VAEncMiscParameterBuffer
Fix errors in VAConfigAttribValEncROI, VAEncMacroblockParameterBufferH264
Fix race condition in wayland support
Rename vaMessageCallback to VAMessageCallback
Make logging callbacks library-safe
Note libva 2.0.0 is not compatible with the old version of libva, but for most user, what you need to do is to rebuild your VA-API based application against libva 2.0.0.
LIBVA-INTEL-DRIVER-2.0.0
Bump version to 2.0.0
Add support for Coffee Lake (aka. CFL)
- Decoding: H.264/MPEG-2/VC-1/JPEG/VP8/HEVC/HEVC 10-bit/VP9/VP9 10-bit
- Encoding: H.264/MPEG-2/JPEG/VP8/VP9/HEVC/HEVC 10-bit/AVC low power CQP/CBR/VBR mode
- VPP: CSC/scaling/NoiseReduction/Deinterlacing{Bob, MotionAdaptive, MotionCompensated}/ColorBalance/STD
Add support for H264 FEI
Add support for HEVC ROI encoding
Add support for intensity compensation for VC-1 decoding
Improve the quality of the H264 encoder on BDW/BSW
Improve the CSC performance between I420/NV12/P010/YUY2/VYUY format
Improve the performace of va{Get, Put}Image for I420/NV12/P010/YUY2/VYUY format
Fix image corruption for VP9 decoding
Fix race condition in wayland support
Fix ROI support in VDEnc support
