576 To provide backwards compatibility, PixelFormat is now #defined as

579 'PixelFormat' identifier. Such code should either #undef PixelFormat
580 or stop using the PixelFormat name.

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

802 e1d9dbf Add a new installed header - buffersrc.h
803 It contains a new function av_buffersrc_buffer() that allows passing
804 frames to the 'buffer' filter, but unlike av_vsrc_buffer_add_frame()
805 it allows for direct rendering.

827 Deprecate AVCODEC_MAX_AUDIO_FRAME_SIZE.
828 Deprecate avcodec_decode_audio3() in favor of avcodec_decode_audio4().
829 avcodec_decode_audio4() writes output samples to an AVFrame, which allows
830 audio decoders to use get_buffer().

1678 Add w and h fields to AVFilterPic.
1680 2009-06-22 - 92400be - lavf 52.34.1 - AVFormatContext.packet_size
1681 This is now an unsigned int instead of a signed int.
1683 2009-06-19 - a4276ba - lavc 52.32.0 - AVSubtitle.pts
1684 Add a pts field to AVSubtitle which gives the subtitle packet pts
1685 in AV_TIME_BASE. Some subtitle de-/encoders (e.g. XSUB) will
1686 not work right without this.
1688 2009-06-03 - 8f3f2e0 - lavc 52.30.2 - AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY
1689 PKT_FLAG_KEY has been deprecated and will be dropped at the next
1690 major version. Use AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY instead.
1692 2009-06-01 - f988ce6 - lavc 52.30.0 - av_lockmgr_register()
1693 av_lockmgr_register() can be used to register a callback function
1694 that lavc (and in the future, libraries that depend on lavc) can use
1695 to implement mutexes. The application should provide a callback function
1696 that implements the AV_LOCK_* operations described in avcodec.h.
1697 When the lock manager is registered, FFmpeg is guaranteed to behave
1698 correctly in a multi-threaded application.
1700 2009-04-30 - ce1d9c8 - lavc 52.28.0 - av_free_packet()
1701 av_free_packet() is no longer an inline function. It is now exported.
1703 2009-04-11 - 80d403f - lavc 52.25.0 - deprecate av_destruct_packet_nofree()
1704 Please use NULL instead. This has been supported since r16506
1705 (lavf > 52.23.1, lavc > 52.10.0).
1707 2009-04-07 - 7a00bba - lavc 52.23.0 - avcodec_decode_video/audio/subtitle
1708 The old decoding functions are deprecated, all new code should use the
1709 new functions avcodec_decode_video2(), avcodec_decode_audio3() and
1710 avcodec_decode_subtitle2(). These new functions take an AVPacket *pkt
1711 argument instead of a const uint8_t *buf / int buf_size pair.
1713 2009-04-03 - 7b09db3 - lavu 50.3.0 - av_fifo_space()
1714 Introduce the av_fifo_space() function.
1716 2009-04-02 - fabd246 - lavc 52.23.0 - AVPacket
1717 Move AVPacket declaration from libavformat/avformat.h to
1718 libavcodec/avcodec.h.
1720 2009-03-22 - 6e08ca9 - lavu 50.2.0 - RGB32 pixel formats
1721 Convert the pixel formats PIX_FMT_ARGB, PIX_FMT_RGBA, PIX_FMT_ABGR,
1722 PIX_FMT_BGRA, which were defined as macros, into enum PixelFormat values.
1723 Conversely PIX_FMT_RGB32, PIX_FMT_RGB32_1, PIX_FMT_BGR32 and
1724 PIX_FMT_BGR32_1 are now macros.
1725 avcodec_get_pix_fmt() now recognizes the "rgb32" and "bgr32" aliases.
1726 Re-sort the enum PixelFormat list accordingly.
1727 This change breaks API/ABI backward compatibility.
1729 2009-03-22 - f82674e - lavu 50.1.0 - PIX_FMT_RGB5X5 endian variants
1730 Add the enum PixelFormat values:
1731 PIX_FMT_RGB565BE, PIX_FMT_RGB565LE, PIX_FMT_RGB555BE, PIX_FMT_RGB555LE,
1732 PIX_FMT_BGR565BE, PIX_FMT_BGR565LE, PIX_FMT_BGR555BE, PIX_FMT_BGR555LE.
1734 2009-03-21 - ee6624e - lavu 50.0.0 - av_random*
1735 The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av_random* functions
1736 was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av_lfg* functions
1739 2009-03-08 - 41dd680 - lavu 50.0.0 - AVFifoBuffer
1740 av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped
1741 and replaced by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write
1742 and av_fifo_realloc2.
1743 In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read
1744 was changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
1745 The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
1746 applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.
1748 2009-03-01 - ec26457 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
1749 Introduce a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
1750 The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially
1751 includes the following structure fields:
1752 - AVFormatContext.title
1753 - AVFormatContext.author
1754 - AVFormatContext.copyright
1755 - AVFormatContext.comment
1756 - AVFormatContext.album
1757 - AVFormatContext.year
1758 - AVFormatContext.track
1759 - AVFormatContext.genre
1762 - AVProgram.provider_name
