# Libvorbisenc API changes 1.0 through 1.1

This document describes API additions to libvorbisenc between release 1.0 and 1.1.

## 1.0.1

The programming API and binary application ABI are unchanged and fully forward/backward compatible between release 1.0 and 1.0.1. Libvorbis, libvorbisenc and libvorbisfile must match versions amongst themselves, however.

## 1.1

The binary ABI from release 1.0.1 to 1.1 is backward compatible; applications linked against libvorbis/libvorbisenc 1.0 and 1.0.1 will continue to function correctly when upgrading the libvorbis and libvorbisenc dynamic libraries without re-linking.

Release 1.1 adds several possible requests to the libvorbisenc vorbis_encode_ctl() call in order to reflect the shift to bit-reservoir style bitrate management. In addition, several vorbis_encode_ctl() requests are deprecated (but functional) as they are redered semantically obsolete by the new bitrate management.

### Deprecated in 1.1

These calls are still available to older codebases to preserve compatability; the fields of the ovectl_ratemanage_arg argument are mapped as closely as possible to the fields of the new ovectl_ratemanage2_arg structure.

OV_ECTL_RATEMANAGE_GET:
  Use OV_ECTL_RATEMANAGE2_GET instead.
OV_ECTL_RATEMANAGE_SET:
  Use OV_ECTL_RATEMANAGE2_SET instead.
OV_ECTL_RATEMANAGE_AVG:
  Use OV_ECTL_RATEMANAGE2_SET instead.
OV_ECTL_RATEMANAGE_HARD:
  Use OV_ECTL_RATEMANAGE2_SET instead.

### Newly added in 1.1

The following calls are added in 1.1 to semantically reflect movement to a bit-reservoir-based bitrate management scheme by introducing the ovectl_ratemanage2_arg structure in order to better represent the abilities of the bitrate manager.

OV_ECTL_RATEMANAGE2_GET
  Used to query the current state of bitrate management setup.
OV_ECTL_RATEMANAGE2_SET
  Used to set or alter bitrate management settings.
