573 To provide backwards compatibility, PixelFormat is now #defined as
575 Note that this can break user code that includes pixfmt.h and uses the
576 'PixelFormat' identifier. Such code should either #undef PixelFormat
577 or stop using the PixelFormat name.

680 For audio formats with fixed frame size, the last frame
681 no longer needs to be padded with silence, libavcodec
682 will handle this internally (effectively all encoders
683 behave as if they had CODEC_CAP_SMALL_LAST_FRAME set).
685 2012-05-07 - 828bd08 - lavc 54.13.0 - avcodec.h

799 e1d9dbf Add a new installed header - buffersrc.h
800 It contains a new function av_buffersrc_buffer() that allows passing
801 frames to the 'buffer' filter, but unlike av_vsrc_buffer_add_frame()
802 it allows for direct rendering.
803 1c9e340 Add avfilter_copy_frame_props() for copying properties from

824 Deprecate AVCODEC_MAX_AUDIO_FRAME_SIZE.
825 Deprecate avcodec_decode_audio3() in favor of avcodec_decode_audio4().
826 avcodec_decode_audio4() writes output samples to an AVFrame, which allows
827 audio decoders to use get_buffer().
829 2011-12-04 - 560f773 - lavc 53.24.0
830 Change AVFrame.data[4]/base[4]/linesize[4]/error[4] to [8] at next major bump.

1677 2009-06-22 - 92400be - lavf 52.34.1 - AVFormatContext.packet_size
1678 This is now an unsigned int instead of a signed int.
1680 2009-06-19 - a4276ba - lavc 52.32.0 - AVSubtitle.pts
1681 Add a pts field to AVSubtitle which gives the subtitle packet pts
1682 in AV_TIME_BASE. Some subtitle de-/encoders (e.g. XSUB) will
1683 not work right without this.
1685 2009-06-03 - 8f3f2e0 - lavc 52.30.2 - AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY
1686 PKT_FLAG_KEY has been deprecated and will be dropped at the next
1687 major version. Use AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY instead.
1689 2009-06-01 - f988ce6 - lavc 52.30.0 - av_lockmgr_register()
1690 av_lockmgr_register() can be used to register a callback function
1691 that lavc (and in the future, libraries that depend on lavc) can use
1692 to implement mutexes. The application should provide a callback function
1693 that implements the AV_LOCK_* operations described in avcodec.h.
1694 When the lock manager is registered, FFmpeg is guaranteed to behave
1695 correctly in a multi-threaded application.
1697 2009-04-30 - ce1d9c8 - lavc 52.28.0 - av_free_packet()
1698 av_free_packet() is no longer an inline function. It is now exported.
1700 2009-04-11 - 80d403f - lavc 52.25.0 - deprecate av_destruct_packet_nofree()
1701 Please use NULL instead. This has been supported since r16506
1702 (lavf > 52.23.1, lavc > 52.10.0).
1704 2009-04-07 - 7a00bba - lavc 52.23.0 - avcodec_decode_video/audio/subtitle
1705 The old decoding functions are deprecated, all new code should use the
1706 new functions avcodec_decode_video2(), avcodec_decode_audio3() and
1707 avcodec_decode_subtitle2(). These new functions take an AVPacket *pkt
1708 argument instead of a const uint8_t *buf / int buf_size pair.
1710 2009-04-03 - 7b09db3 - lavu 50.3.0 - av_fifo_space()
1711 Introduce the av_fifo_space() function.
1713 2009-04-02 - fabd246 - lavc 52.23.0 - AVPacket
1714 Move AVPacket declaration from libavformat/avformat.h to
1715 libavcodec/avcodec.h.
1717 2009-03-22 - 6e08ca9 - lavu 50.2.0 - RGB32 pixel formats
1718 Convert the pixel formats PIX_FMT_ARGB, PIX_FMT_RGBA, PIX_FMT_ABGR,
1719 PIX_FMT_BGRA, which were defined as macros, into enum PixelFormat values.
1720 Conversely PIX_FMT_RGB32, PIX_FMT_RGB32_1, PIX_FMT_BGR32 and
1721 PIX_FMT_BGR32_1 are now macros.
1722 avcodec_get_pix_fmt() now recognizes the "rgb32" and "bgr32" aliases.
1723 Re-sort the enum PixelFormat list accordingly.
1724 This change breaks API/ABI backward compatibility.
1726 2009-03-22 - f82674e - lavu 50.1.0 - PIX_FMT_RGB5X5 endian variants
1727 Add the enum PixelFormat values:
1728 PIX_FMT_RGB565BE, PIX_FMT_RGB565LE, PIX_FMT_RGB555BE, PIX_FMT_RGB555LE,
1729 PIX_FMT_BGR565BE, PIX_FMT_BGR565LE, PIX_FMT_BGR555BE, PIX_FMT_BGR555LE.
1731 2009-03-21 - ee6624e - lavu 50.0.0 - av_random*
1732 The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av_random* functions
1733 was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av_lfg* functions
1736 2009-03-08 - 41dd680 - lavu 50.0.0 - AVFifoBuffer
1737 av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped
1738 and replaced by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write
1739 and av_fifo_realloc2.
1740 In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read
1741 was changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
1742 The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
1743 applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.
1745 2009-03-01 - ec26457 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
1746 Introduce a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
1747 The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially
1748 includes the following structure fields:
1749 - AVFormatContext.title
1750 - AVFormatContext.author
1751 - AVFormatContext.copyright
1752 - AVFormatContext.comment
1753 - AVFormatContext.album
1754 - AVFormatContext.year
1755 - AVFormatContext.track
1756 - AVFormatContext.genre
1759 - AVProgram.provider_name
