Never assume the API of libav* to be stable unless at least 1 month has passed
since the last major version increase.
The last version increases were:
libavcodec: 2011-04-18
libavdevice: 2011-04-18
libavfilter: 2011-04-18
libavformat: 2011-04-18
libpostproc: 2011-04-18 (deprecated, to be removed later)
libswscale: 2011-06-20
libavutil: 2011-04-18
API changes, most recent first:
2011-01-03 - b73ec05 - lavu 51.21.0
Add av_popcount64
2011-12-25 - lavfi 2.14.0
e1d9dbf Add a new installed header - buffersrc.h
It contains a new function av_buffersrc_buffer() that allows passing
frames to the 'buffer' filter, but unlike av_vsrc_buffer_add_frame()
it allows for direct rendering.
1c9e340 Add avfilter_copy_frame_props() for copying properties from
AVFrame to AVFilterBufferRef.
2011-12-25 - lavc 53.31.0
Add the following new fields to AVFrame:
b58dbb5 sample_aspect_ratio
3a2ddf7 width, height
8a4a5f6 format
2011-12-18 - 8400b12 - lavc 53.28.1
Deprecate AVFrame.age. The field is unused.

Add nb_samples and extended_data fields to AVFrame.
Deprecate AVCODEC_MAX_AUDIO_FRAME_SIZE.
Deprecate avcodec_decode_audio3() in favor of avcodec_decode_audio4().
avcodec_decode_audio4() writes output samples to an AVFrame, which allows
audio decoders to use get_buffer().
2011-12-04 - 560f773 - lavc 53.24.0
Change AVFrame.data[4]/base[4]/linesize[4]/error[4] to [8] at next major bump.

Add AV_NUM_DATA_POINTERS to simplify the bump transition.
2011-11-23 - bbb46f3 - lavu 51.18.0
Add av_samples_get_buffer_size(), av_samples_fill_arrays(), and
av_samples_alloc(), to samplefmt.h.

Add planar sample formats and av_sample_fmt_is_planar() to samplefmt.h.
2011-11-19 - f3a29b7 - lavc 53.21.0
Move some AVCodecContext fields to a new private struct, AVCodecInternal,
which is accessed from a new field, AVCodecContext.internal.
- fields moved:
AVCodecContext.internal_buffer --> AVCodecInternal.buffer
AVCodecContext.internal_buffer_count --> AVCodecInternal.buffer_count
AVCodecContext.is_copy --> AVCodecInternal.is_copy
2011-11-16 - 6270671 - lavu 51.16.0

interrupt callbacks.
6aa0b98 Add AVIOInterruptCB struct and the interrupt_callback field to
AVFormatContext.
1dee0ac Add avio_open2() with additional parameters. Those are
an interrupt callback and an options AVDictionary.
This will allow passing AVOptions to protocols after lavf
54.0.
2011-11-06 - ba04ecf - lavu 51.14.0
Add av_strcasecmp() and av_strncasecmp() to avstring.h.

av_lockmgr_register() can be used to register a callback function
that lavc (and in the future, libraries that depend on lavc) can use

When the lock manager is registered, FFmpeg is guaranteed to behave
correctly in a multi-threaded application.
2009-04-30 - r18719 - lavc 52.28.0 - av_free_packet()
av_free_packet() is no longer an inline function. It is now exported.

Convert the pixel formats PIX_FMT_ARGB, PIX_FMT_RGBA, PIX_FMT_ABGR,
PIX_FMT_BGRA, which were defined as macros, into enum PixelFormat values.
Conversely PIX_FMT_RGB32, PIX_FMT_RGB32_1, PIX_FMT_BGR32 and
PIX_FMT_BGR32_1 are now macros.
avcodec_get_pix_fmt() now recognizes the "rgb32" and "bgr32" aliases.
Re-sort the enum PixelFormat list accordingly.
This change breaks API/ABI backward compatibility.
2009-03-22 - r18133 - lavu 50.1.0 - PIX_FMT_RGB5X5 endian variants
Add the enum PixelFormat values:
PIX_FMT_RGB565BE, PIX_FMT_RGB565LE, PIX_FMT_RGB555BE, PIX_FMT_RGB555LE,

av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped
and replaced by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write
and av_fifo_realloc2.
In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read
was changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.
2009-03-01 - r17682 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
