  Explicitly make avformat_network_init() and avformat_network_deinit() optional.
  If these are not called, network initialization and deinitialization is
  automatic, and unlike in older versions, fully supported, unless libavformat
  is linked to ancient GnuTLS and OpenSSL.

2018-01-16 - 6512ff72f9 - lavf 58.4.100 - avformat.h
  Deprecate AVStream.recommended_encoder_configuration. It was useful only for

  Deprecate avfilter_link_get_channels(). Use av_buffersink_get_channels().

2017-01-04 - c29038f304 - lavr 4.0.0 - avresample.h
  Deprecate the entire library. Merged years ago to provide compatibility
  with Libav, it remained unmaintained by the FFmpeg project and duplicated
  functionality provided by libswresample.

  In order to improve consistency and reduce attack surface, it has been deprecated.
  Users of this library are asked to migrate to libswresample, which, as well as
  providing more functionality, is faster and has higher accuracy.

2017-12-26 - a04c2c707d - lavc 58.9.100 - avcodec.h
  Deprecate av_lockmgr_register(). You need to build FFmpeg with threading

  (avcodec_send_packet/avcodec_receive_frame) always work with reference
  counted frames.

2017-09-21 - 6f15f1cdc8 - lavu 55.76.100 / 56.6.0 - pixdesc.h
  Add av_color_range_from_name(), av_color_primaries_from_name(),

  the new AV_PIX_FMT_D3D11 pixfmt must be used with the new API.

2017-06-27 - 3303511f33 - lavu 56.67.100 - hwcontext.h
  Add AV_HWDEVICE_TYPE_D3D11VA and AV_PIX_FMT_D3D11.

  Deprecate that demuxers export the stream rotation angle in AVStream.metadata
  (via an entry named "rotate"). Use av_stream_get_side_data() with
  AV_PKT_DATA_DISPLAYMATRIX instead, and read the rotation angle with
  av_display_rotation_get(). The same is done for muxing. Instead of adding a
  "rotate" entry to AVStream.metadata, AV_PKT_DATA_DISPLAYMATRIX side data has
  to be added to the AVStream.

  Fix accidental ABI breakage in AVFilterContext.
  ABI was broken in 8688d3a, lavfi 6.42.100 and released as ffmpeg 3.1.

  Because of this, ffmpeg and ffplay built against lavfi>=6.42.100 will not be

  libavfilter if they are using one of the affected fields.

  that is not the case.

2016-02-26 - 30e7685 - lavc 57.27.100 - avcodec.h
  "flags2" decoding option now allows the flag "ass_ro_flush_noop" preventing
  the reset of the ASS ReadOrder field on flush. This affects the content of
  AVSubtitles.rects[N]->ass when "sub_text_format" is set to "ass" (see
  previous entry).

2016-02-26 - 2941282 - lavc 57.26.100 - avcodec.h
  Add a "sub_text_format" subtitles decoding option allowing the values "ass"
  (recommended) and "ass_with_timings" (not recommended, deprecated, default).
  The default value for this option will change to "ass" at the next major
  libavcodec version bump.

  The current default is "ass_with_timings" for compatibility. This means that
  all subtitles text decoders currently still output ASS with timings printed
  as strings in the AVSubtitles.rects[N]->ass fields.

  Setting "sub_text_format" to "ass" allows a better timing accuracy (ASS
  timing is limited to a 1/100 time base, so this is relevant for any subtitles
  format needing a bigger one), ease timing adjustments, and prevents the need
  of removing the timing from the decoded string yourself. This form is also
  known as "the Matroska form". The timing information (start time, duration)
  can be found in the AVSubtitles fields.

  no longer needs to be padded with silence, libavcodec
  will handle this internally (effectively all encoders
  behave as if they had CODEC_CAP_SMALL_LAST_FRAME set).

2009-04-03 - 7b09db3 - lavu 50.3.0 - av_fifo_space()
  Introduce the av_fifo_space() function.

2009-04-02 - fabd246 - lavc 52.23.0 - AVPacket
  Move AVPacket declaration from libavformat/avformat.h to
  libavcodec/avcodec.h.

2009-03-22 - 6e08ca9 - lavu 50.2.0 - RGB32 pixel formats
  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 - f82674e - 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,
  PIX_FMT_BGR565BE, PIX_FMT_BGR565LE, PIX_FMT_BGR555BE, PIX_FMT_BGR555LE.

2009-03-21 - ee6624e - lavu 50.0.0  - av_random*
  The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av_random* functions
  was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av_lfg* functions
  instead.

2009-03-08 - 41dd680 - lavu 50.0.0  - AVFifoBuffer
  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 - ec26457 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
  Introduce a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
  The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially
  includes the following structure fields:
    - AVFormatContext.title
    - AVFormatContext.author
    - AVFormatContext.copyright
    - AVFormatContext.comment
    - AVFormatContext.album
    - AVFormatContext.year
    - AVFormatContext.track
    - AVFormatContext.genre
    - AVStream.language
    - AVStream.filename
    - AVProgram.provider_name
    - AVProgram.name
    - AVChapter.title
