 +CONTEXT
 +=======
 +
 +The FFmpeg project merges all the changes from the Libav project
 +(https://libav.org) since the origin of the fork (around 2011).
 +
 +With the exceptions of some commits due to technical/political disagreements or
 +issues, the changes are merged on a more or less regular schedule (daily for
 +years thanks to Michael, but more sparse nowadays).
 +
 +WHY
 +===
 +
 +The majority of the active developers believe the project needs to keep this
 +policy for various reasons.
 +
 +The most important one is that we don't want our users to have to choose
 +between two distributors of libraries of the exact same name in order to have a
 +different set of features and bugfixes. By taking the responsibility of
 +unifying the two codebases, we allow users to benefit from the changes from the
 +two teams.
 +
 +Today, FFmpeg has a much larger user database (we are distributed by every
 +major distribution), so we consider this mission a priority.
 +
 +A different approach to the merge could have been to pick the changes we are
 +interested in and drop most of the cosmetics and other less important changes.
 +Unfortunately, this makes the following picks much harder, especially since the
 +Libav project is involved in various deep API changes. As a result, we decide
 +to virtually take everything done there.
 +
 +Any Libav developer is of course welcome anytime to contribute directly to the
 +FFmpeg tree. Of course, we fully understand and are forced to accept that very
 +few Libav developers are interested in doing so, but we still want to recognize
 +their work. This leads us to create merge commits for every single one from
 +Libav. The original commit appears totally unchanged with full authorship in
 +our history (and the conflict are solved in the merge one). That way, not a
 +single thing from Libav will be lost in the future in case some reunification
 +happens, or that project disappears one way or another.
 +
 +DOWNSIDES
 +=========
 +
 +Of course, there are many downsides to this approach.
 +
 +- It causes a non negligible merge commits pollution. We make sure there are
 +  not several level of merges entangled (we do a 1:1 merge/commit), but it's
 +  still a non-linear history.
 +
 +- Many duplicated work. For instance, we added libavresample in our tree to
 +  keep compatibility with Libav when our libswresample was already covering the
 +  exact same purpose. The same thing happened for various elements such as the
 +  ProRes support (but differences in features, bugs, licenses, ...). There are
 +  many work to do to unify them, and any help is very much welcome.
 +
 +- So much manpower from both FFmpeg and Libav is lost because of this mess. We
 +  know it, and we don't know how to fix it. It takes incredible time to do
 +  these merges, so we have even less time to work on things we personally care
 +  about. The bad vibes also do not help with keeping our developers motivated.
 +
 +- There is a growing technical risk factor with the merges due to the codebase
 +  differing more and more.
 +
 +MERGE GUIDELINES
 +================
 +
 +The following gives developer guidelines on how to proceed when merging Libav commits.
 +
 +Before starting, you can reduce the risk of errors on merge conflicts by using
 +a different merge conflict style:
 +
 +    $ git config --global merge.conflictstyle diff3
 +
 +tools/libav-merge-next-commit is a script to help merging the next commit in
 +the queue. It assumes a remote named libav. It has two modes: merge, and noop.
 +The noop mode creates a merge with no change to the HEAD. You can pass a hash
 +as extra argument to reference a justification (it is common that we already
 +have the change done in FFmpeg).
 +
 +Also see tools/murge, you can copy and paste a 3 way conflict into its stdin
 +and it will display colored diffs. Any arguments to murge (like ones to suppress
 +whitespace differences) are passed into colordiff.
 +
 +TODO/FIXME/UNMERGED
 +===================
 +
 +Stuff that didn't reach the codebase:
 +-------------------------------------
 +
 +- HEVC DSP and x86 MC SIMD improvements from Libav (see https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2015-December/184777.html)
 +  - 1f821750f hevcdsp: split the qpel functions by width instead of by the subpixel fraction
 +  - 818bfe7f0 hevcdsp: split the epel functions by width
 +  - 688417399 hevcdsp: split the pred functions by width
 +  - a853388d2 hevc: change the stride of the MC buffer to be in bytes instead of elements
 +  - 0cef06df0 checkasm: add HEVC MC tests
 +  - e7078e842 hevcdsp: add x86 SIMD for MC
 +- VAAPI VP8 decode hwaccel (currently under review: http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2017-February/thread.html#207348)
 +- Removal of the custom atomic API (5cc0057f49, see http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2017-March/209003.html)
 +- Use the new bitstream filter for extracting extradata (8e2ea69135 and 096a8effa3, see https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2017-March/209068.html)
 +- Read aac_adtstoasc extradata updates from packet side data on Matroska once mov and the bsf in question are fixed (See 13a211e632 and 5ef1959080)
++- new bistream reader (see http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2017-April/209609.html)
 +
 +Collateral damage that needs work locally:
 +------------------------------------------
 +
 +- Merge proresdec2.c and proresdec_lgpl.c
 +- Merge proresenc_anatoliy.c and proresenc_kostya.c
 +- Remove ADVANCED_PARSER in libavcodec/hevc_parser.c
 +- Fix MIPS AC3 downmix
 +- hlsenc encryption support may need some adjustment (see edc43c571d)
 +
 +Extra changes needed to be aligned with Libav:
 +----------------------------------------------
 +
 +- Switching our examples to the new encode/decode API (see 67d28f4a0f)
 +- HEVC IDCT bit depth 12-bit support (Libav added 8 and 10 but doesn't have 12)
