1 Never assume the API of libav* to be stable unless at least 1 month has passed
2 since the last major version increase.
4 The last version increases were:
6 libavdevice: 2011-04-18
7 libavfilter: 2011-04-18
8 libavformat: 2012-01-27
9 libpostproc: 2011-04-18
10 libswscale: 2011-06-20
14 API changes, most recent first:

1043 2009-11-25 - r20605 - lavfi 1.9.0 - avfilter_register()
1044 Change the signature of avfilter_register() to make it return an

1072 2009-06-19 - r19222 - lavc 52.32.0 - AVSubtitle.pts
1073 Add a pts field to AVSubtitle which gives the subtitle packet pts
1074 in AV_TIME_BASE. Some subtitle de-/encoders (e.g. XSUB) will
1075 not work right without this.
1077 2009-06-03 - r19078 - lavc 52.30.2 - AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY
1078 PKT_FLAG_KEY has been deprecated and will be dropped at the next
1079 major version. Use AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY instead.
1081 2009-06-01 - r19025 - lavc 52.30.0 - av_lockmgr_register()
1082 av_lockmgr_register() can be used to register a callback function
1083 that lavc (and in the future, libraries that depend on lavc) can use
1084 to implement mutexes. The application should provide a callback function
1085 that implements the AV_LOCK_* operations described in avcodec.h.
1086 When the lock manager is registered, FFmpeg is guaranteed to behave
1087 correctly in a multi-threaded application.
1089 2009-04-30 - r18719 - lavc 52.28.0 - av_free_packet()
1090 av_free_packet() is no longer an inline function. It is now exported.
1092 2009-04-11 - r18431 - lavc 52.25.0 - deprecate av_destruct_packet_nofree()
1093 Please use NULL instead. This has been supported since r16506
1094 (lavf > 52.23.1, lavc > 52.10.0).
1096 2009-04-07 - r18351 - lavc 52.23.0 - avcodec_decode_video/audio/subtitle
1097 The old decoding functions are deprecated, all new code should use the
1098 new functions avcodec_decode_video2(), avcodec_decode_audio3() and
1099 avcodec_decode_subtitle2(). These new functions take an AVPacket *pkt
1100 argument instead of a const uint8_t *buf / int buf_size pair.
1102 2009-04-03 - r18321 - lavu 50.3.0 - av_fifo_space()
1103 Introduce the av_fifo_space() function.
1105 2009-04-02 - r18317 - lavc 52.23.0 - AVPacket
1106 Move AVPacket declaration from libavformat/avformat.h to
1107 libavcodec/avcodec.h.
1109 2009-03-22 - r18163 - lavu 50.2.0 - RGB32 pixel formats
1110 Convert the pixel formats PIX_FMT_ARGB, PIX_FMT_RGBA, PIX_FMT_ABGR,
1111 PIX_FMT_BGRA, which were defined as macros, into enum PixelFormat values.
1112 Conversely PIX_FMT_RGB32, PIX_FMT_RGB32_1, PIX_FMT_BGR32 and
1113 PIX_FMT_BGR32_1 are now macros.
1114 avcodec_get_pix_fmt() now recognizes the "rgb32" and "bgr32" aliases.
1115 Re-sort the enum PixelFormat list accordingly.
1116 This change breaks API/ABI backward compatibility.
1118 2009-03-22 - r18133 - lavu 50.1.0 - PIX_FMT_RGB5X5 endian variants
1119 Add the enum PixelFormat values:
1120 PIX_FMT_RGB565BE, PIX_FMT_RGB565LE, PIX_FMT_RGB555BE, PIX_FMT_RGB555LE,
1121 PIX_FMT_BGR565BE, PIX_FMT_BGR565LE, PIX_FMT_BGR555BE, PIX_FMT_BGR555LE.
1123 2009-03-21 - r18116 - lavu 50.0.0 - av_random*
1124 The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av_random* functions
1125 was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av_lfg* functions
1128 2009-03-08 - r17869 - lavu 50.0.0 - AVFifoBuffer
1129 av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped
1130 and replaced by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write
1131 and av_fifo_realloc2.
1132 In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read
1133 was changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
1134 The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
1135 applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.
1137 2009-03-01 - r17682 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
1138 Introduce a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
1139 The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially
1140 includes the following structure fields:
1141 - AVFormatContext.title
1142 - AVFormatContext.author
1143 - AVFormatContext.copyright
1144 - AVFormatContext.comment
1145 - AVFormatContext.album
1146 - AVFormatContext.year
1147 - AVFormatContext.track
1148 - AVFormatContext.genre
1151 - AVProgram.provider_name
