Changelog for rocDecode

Full documentation for rocDecode is available at https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/rocDecode/en/latest/

rocDecode 0.14.0 (unreleased)

Added

• VP9 IVF container file parsing support in bitstream reader.
• CTest for VP9 decode on bitstream reader.
• HEVC/AVC/AV1/VP9 stream syntax error handling.
• HEVC stream bit depth change handling and DPB buffer size change handling through decoder reconfiguration.
• AVC stream DPB buffer size change handling through decoder reconfiguration.
• rocDecode now uses the Cmake CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH directive.
• rocDecode - A new avcodec-based decoder built as a separate "rocdecode-host" library

Optimized

• Decode session start latency reduction.
• Bitstream type detection optimization in bitstream reader.

Resolved issues

• Fixed a bug in picture files sample "videoDecodePicFiles" that can results in incorrect output frame count.
• Fixed a decoded frame output issue in video size change cases.
• Removed incorrect asserts of bitdepth_minus_8 in GetBitDepth() and num_chroma_planes in GetNumChromaPlanes() API calls in RocVideoDecoder utility class.

Removed

• GetStream() interface call from RocVideoDecoder utility class

Changed

• Changed asserts in query API calls in RocVideoDecoder utility class to error reports, to avoid hard stop during query in case error occurs and to let the caller decide actions.
• libdrm_amdgpu is now explicitly linked with rocdecode.

rocDecode 0.10.0 for ROCm 6.4

Added

• The new bitstream reader feature. The bitstream reader contains built-in stream file parsers, including an elementary stream file parser and an IVF container file parser. It can parse AVC/HEVC/AV1 elementary stream files and AV1 IVF container files. Additional format support can be added in the future.
• VP9 decode support.
• More CTests: VP9 test and tests on video decode raw sample.
• Two new samples, videodecoderaw and videodecodepicfiles, have been added. videodecoderaw uses the bitstream reader instead of the FFMPEG demuxer to get picture data, and videodecodepicfiles shows how to decode an elementary video stream stored in multiple files with each file containing bitstream data of a coded picutre

Changed

• AMD Clang++ is now the default CXX compiler.
• Moved MD5 code out of roc video decode utility.

Removed

• FFMPEG executable requirement for the package

rocDecode 0.8.0 for ROCm 6.3

Added

• AV1 decode support

Changed

• Clang is now the default CXX compiler.
• The new minimum supported version of va-api is 1.16.
• New build and runtime options have been added to the rocDecode-setup.py setup script.
• Added FFMpeg based software decoding into utils.
• Modified videodecode sample to allow FFMpeg based decoding

Removed

• Make tests have been removed. CTEST is now used for both Make tests and package tests.
• mesa-amdgpu-dri-drivers has been removed as a dependency on RHEL and SLES.

Resolved issues

• Fixed a bug in the size of output streams in the videoDecodeBatch sample.
