+ Explicitly make avformat_network_init() and avformat_network_deinit() optional.
+ If these are not called, network initialization and deinitialization is

+ is linked to ancient GnuTLS and OpenSSL.
+
+2018-01-xx - xxxxxxx - lavf 58.4.100 - avformat.h
+ Deprecate AVStream.recommended_encoder_configuration. It was useful only for

+
+2017-xx-xx - xxxxxxx - 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-xx-xx - xxxxxxx - lavc 58.9.100 - avcodec.h
+ Deprecate av_lockmgr_register(). You need to build FFmpeg with threading
+ support enabled to get basic thread-safety (which is the default build
