From 1316df7aa98c4784f190d107206d0bb12c590b89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wm4 Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2015 19:04:59 +0200 Subject: lavu: add an API function to return the Libav version string This returns something like "v12_dev0-1332-g333a27c". This is much more useful than the individual library versions, of which there are too many, and which are very hard to map back to releases or git commits.
