844 Rename CodecID to AVCodecID and all CODEC_ID_* to AV_CODEC_ID_*.
845 To provide backwards compatibility, CodecID is now #defined as AVCodecID.

1673 enum PixelFormat format -> int format in AVFilterBuffer
1674 enum PixelFormat *formats -> int *formats in AVFilterFormats
1675 enum PixelFormat *format -> int format in AVFilterLink
1677 Change the function signatures:
1678 AVFilterFormats *avfilter_make_format_list(const enum PixelFormat *pix_fmts); ->
1679 AVFilterFormats *avfilter_make_format_list(const int *fmts);
1681 int avfilter_add_colorspace(AVFilterFormats **avff, enum PixelFormat pix_fmt); ->
1682 int avfilter_add_format (AVFilterFormats **avff, int fmt);
1684 AVFilterFormats *avfilter_all_colorspaces(void); ->
1685 AVFilterFormats *avfilter_all_formats (enum AVMediaType type);
1687 This change breaks libavfilter API/ABI.

1876 2009-11-25 - 1433c4a - lavfi 1.10.0 - avfilter_next()
1877 Introduce the avfilter_next() function.
1879 2009-11-25 - 86a60fa - lavfi 1.9.0 - avfilter_register()
1880 Change the signature of avfilter_register() to make it return an
1881 int. This is required since now the registration operation may fail.
1883 2009-11-25 - 74a0059 - lavu 50.5.0 - pixdesc.h API
1884 Make the pixdesc.h API public.
1886 2009-10-27 - 243110f - lavfi 1.5.0 - AVFilter.next

1891 Add a description field to AVFilter.
1893 2009-10-19 - 6b5dc05 - lavfi 1.3.0 - avfilter_make_format_list()

1903 Add w and h fields to AVFilterPic.
1905 2009-06-22 - 92400be - lavf 52.34.1 - AVFormatContext.packet_size
1906 This is now an unsigned int instead of a signed int.
1908 2009-06-19 - a4276ba - lavc 52.32.0 - AVSubtitle.pts
1909 Add a pts field to AVSubtitle which gives the subtitle packet pts
1910 in AV_TIME_BASE. Some subtitle de-/encoders (e.g. XSUB) will
1911 not work right without this.
1913 2009-06-03 - 8f3f2e0 - lavc 52.30.2 - AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY
1914 PKT_FLAG_KEY has been deprecated and will be dropped at the next
1915 major version. Use AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY instead.
1917 2009-06-01 - f988ce6 - lavc 52.30.0 - av_lockmgr_register()
1918 av_lockmgr_register() can be used to register a callback function
1919 that lavc (and in the future, libraries that depend on lavc) can use
1920 to implement mutexes. The application should provide a callback function
1921 that implements the AV_LOCK_* operations described in avcodec.h.
1922 When the lock manager is registered, FFmpeg is guaranteed to behave
1923 correctly in a multi-threaded application.
1925 2009-04-30 - ce1d9c8 - lavc 52.28.0 - av_free_packet()
1926 av_free_packet() is no longer an inline function. It is now exported.
1928 2009-04-11 - 80d403f - lavc 52.25.0 - deprecate av_destruct_packet_nofree()
1929 Please use NULL instead. This has been supported since r16506
1930 (lavf > 52.23.1, lavc > 52.10.0).
1932 2009-04-07 - 7a00bba - lavc 52.23.0 - avcodec_decode_video/audio/subtitle
1933 The old decoding functions are deprecated, all new code should use the
1934 new functions avcodec_decode_video2(), avcodec_decode_audio3() and
1935 avcodec_decode_subtitle2(). These new functions take an AVPacket *pkt
1936 argument instead of a const uint8_t *buf / int buf_size pair.
1938 2009-04-03 - 7b09db3 - lavu 50.3.0 - av_fifo_space()
1939 Introduce the av_fifo_space() function.
1941 2009-04-02 - fabd246 - lavc 52.23.0 - AVPacket
1942 Move AVPacket declaration from libavformat/avformat.h to
1943 libavcodec/avcodec.h.
1945 2009-03-22 - 6e08ca9 - lavu 50.2.0 - RGB32 pixel formats
1946 Convert the pixel formats PIX_FMT_ARGB, PIX_FMT_RGBA, PIX_FMT_ABGR,
1947 PIX_FMT_BGRA, which were defined as macros, into enum PixelFormat values.
1948 Conversely PIX_FMT_RGB32, PIX_FMT_RGB32_1, PIX_FMT_BGR32 and
1949 PIX_FMT_BGR32_1 are now macros.
1950 avcodec_get_pix_fmt() now recognizes the "rgb32" and "bgr32" aliases.
1951 Re-sort the enum PixelFormat list accordingly.
1952 This change breaks API/ABI backward compatibility.
1954 2009-03-22 - f82674e - lavu 50.1.0 - PIX_FMT_RGB5X5 endian variants
1955 Add the enum PixelFormat values:
1956 PIX_FMT_RGB565BE, PIX_FMT_RGB565LE, PIX_FMT_RGB555BE, PIX_FMT_RGB555LE,
1957 PIX_FMT_BGR565BE, PIX_FMT_BGR565LE, PIX_FMT_BGR555BE, PIX_FMT_BGR555LE.
1959 2009-03-21 - ee6624e - lavu 50.0.0 - av_random*
1960 The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av_random* functions
1961 was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av_lfg* functions
1964 2009-03-08 - 41dd680 - lavu 50.0.0 - AVFifoBuffer
1965 av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped
1966 and replaced by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write
1967 and av_fifo_realloc2.
1968 In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read
1969 was changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
1970 The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
1971 applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.
1973 2009-03-01 - ec26457 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
1974 Introduce a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
1975 The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially
1976 includes the following structure fields:
1977 - AVFormatContext.title
1978 - AVFormatContext.author
1979 - AVFormatContext.copyright
1980 - AVFormatContext.comment
1981 - AVFormatContext.album
1982 - AVFormatContext.year
1983 - AVFormatContext.track
1984 - AVFormatContext.genre
1987 - AVProgram.provider_name
