854 For audio formats with fixed frame size, the last frame
855 no longer needs to be padded with silence, libavcodec
856 will handle this internally (effectively all encoders
857 behave as if they had CODEC_CAP_SMALL_LAST_FRAME set).

973 e1d9dbf Add a new installed header - buffersrc.h
974 It contains a new function av_buffersrc_buffer() that allows passing
975 frames to the 'buffer' filter, but unlike av_vsrc_buffer_add_frame()

1001 audio decoders to use get_buffer().
1003 2011-12-04 - 560f773 - lavc 53.24.0
1004 Change AVFrame.data[4]/base[4]/linesize[4]/error[4] to [8] at next major bump.

1854 2009-06-19 - a4276ba - lavc 52.32.0 - AVSubtitle.pts
1855 Add a pts field to AVSubtitle which gives the subtitle packet pts
1856 in AV_TIME_BASE. Some subtitle de-/encoders (e.g. XSUB) will

1859 2009-06-03 - 8f3f2e0 - lavc 52.30.2 - AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY
1860 PKT_FLAG_KEY has been deprecated and will be dropped at the next
1861 major version. Use AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY instead.
1863 2009-06-01 - f988ce6 - lavc 52.30.0 - av_lockmgr_register()
1864 av_lockmgr_register() can be used to register a callback function
1865 that lavc (and in the future, libraries that depend on lavc) can use
1866 to implement mutexes. The application should provide a callback function
1867 that implements the AV_LOCK_* operations described in avcodec.h.
1868 When the lock manager is registered, FFmpeg is guaranteed to behave
1869 correctly in a multi-threaded application.
1871 2009-04-30 - ce1d9c8 - lavc 52.28.0 - av_free_packet()
1872 av_free_packet() is no longer an inline function. It is now exported.
1874 2009-04-11 - 80d403f - lavc 52.25.0 - deprecate av_destruct_packet_nofree()
1875 Please use NULL instead. This has been supported since r16506
1876 (lavf > 52.23.1, lavc > 52.10.0).
1878 2009-04-07 - 7a00bba - lavc 52.23.0 - avcodec_decode_video/audio/subtitle
1879 The old decoding functions are deprecated, all new code should use the
1880 new functions avcodec_decode_video2(), avcodec_decode_audio3() and
1881 avcodec_decode_subtitle2(). These new functions take an AVPacket *pkt
1882 argument instead of a const uint8_t *buf / int buf_size pair.
1884 2009-04-03 - 7b09db3 - lavu 50.3.0 - av_fifo_space()
1885 Introduce the av_fifo_space() function.
1887 2009-04-02 - fabd246 - lavc 52.23.0 - AVPacket
1888 Move AVPacket declaration from libavformat/avformat.h to
1889 libavcodec/avcodec.h.
1891 2009-03-22 - 6e08ca9 - lavu 50.2.0 - RGB32 pixel formats
1892 Convert the pixel formats PIX_FMT_ARGB, PIX_FMT_RGBA, PIX_FMT_ABGR,
1893 PIX_FMT_BGRA, which were defined as macros, into enum PixelFormat values.
1894 Conversely PIX_FMT_RGB32, PIX_FMT_RGB32_1, PIX_FMT_BGR32 and
1895 PIX_FMT_BGR32_1 are now macros.
1896 avcodec_get_pix_fmt() now recognizes the "rgb32" and "bgr32" aliases.
1897 Re-sort the enum PixelFormat list accordingly.
1898 This change breaks API/ABI backward compatibility.
1900 2009-03-22 - f82674e - lavu 50.1.0 - PIX_FMT_RGB5X5 endian variants
1901 Add the enum PixelFormat values:
1902 PIX_FMT_RGB565BE, PIX_FMT_RGB565LE, PIX_FMT_RGB555BE, PIX_FMT_RGB555LE,
1903 PIX_FMT_BGR565BE, PIX_FMT_BGR565LE, PIX_FMT_BGR555BE, PIX_FMT_BGR555LE.
1905 2009-03-21 - ee6624e - lavu 50.0.0 - av_random*
1906 The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av_random* functions
1907 was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av_lfg* functions
1910 2009-03-08 - 41dd680 - lavu 50.0.0 - AVFifoBuffer
1911 av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped
1912 and replaced by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write
1913 and av_fifo_realloc2.
1914 In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read
1915 was changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
1916 The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
1917 applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.
1919 2009-03-01 - ec26457 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
1920 Introduce a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
1921 The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially
1922 includes the following structure fields:
1923 - AVFormatContext.title
1924 - AVFormatContext.author
1925 - AVFormatContext.copyright
1926 - AVFormatContext.comment
1927 - AVFormatContext.album
1928 - AVFormatContext.year
1929 - AVFormatContext.track
1930 - AVFormatContext.genre
1933 - AVProgram.provider_name
