32What: raw1394: requests of type RAW1394_REQ_ISO_SEND, RAW1394_REQ_ISO_LISTEN 32What: raw1394: requests of type RAW1394_REQ_ISO_SEND, RAW1394_REQ_ISO_LISTEN
33When: November 2006 33When: June 2007
34Why: Deprecated in favour of the new ioctl-based rawiso interface, which is 34Why: Deprecated in favour of the more efficient and robust rawiso interface.
35 more efficient. You should really be using libraw1394 for raw1394 35 Affected are applications which use the deprecated part of libraw1394
36 access anyway. 36 (raw1394_iso_write, raw1394_start_iso_write, raw1394_start_iso_rcv,
37Who: Jody McIntyre <scjody@modernduck.com> 37 raw1394_stop_iso_rcv) or bypass libraw1394.

42What: dv1394 driver (CONFIG_IEEE1394_DV1394)
43When: June 2007
44Why: Replaced by raw1394 + userspace libraries, notably libiec61883. This
45 shift of application support has been indicated on www.linux1394.org
46 and developers' mailinglists for quite some time. Major applications
47 have been converted, with the exception of ffmpeg and hence xine.
48 Piped output of dvgrab2 is a partial equivalent to dv1394.

53What: ieee1394 core's unused exports (CONFIG_IEEE1394_EXPORT_FULL_API)
54When: January 2007
55Why: There are no projects known to use these exported symbols, except
56 dfg1394 (uses one symbol whose functionality is core-internal now).
