726  Rename PixelFormat to AVPixelFormat and all PIX_FMT_* to AV_PIX_FMT_*.
727  To provide backwards compatibility, PixelFormat is now #defined as
728  AVPixelFormat.
729  Note that this can break user code that includes pixfmt.h and uses the
730  'PixelFormat' identifier. Such code should either #undef PixelFormat
731  or stop using the PixelFormat name.
732
7332012-10-05 - 55c49af / e7ba5b1 - lavr 1.0.0 - avresample.h

766  Rename CodecID to AVCodecID and all CODEC_ID_* to AV_CODEC_ID_*.
767  To provide backwards compatibility, CodecID is now #defined as AVCodecID.
768  Note that this can break user code that includes avcodec.h and uses the
769  'CodecID' identifier. Such code should either #undef CodecID or stop using the
770  CodecID name.
771
7722012-08-03 - e776ee8 / 239fdf1 - lavu 51.66.101 / 51.37.1 - cpu.h

823  For audio formats with fixed frame size, the last frame
824  no longer needs to be padded with silence, libavcodec
825  will handle this internally (effectively all encoders
826  behave as if they had CODEC_CAP_SMALL_LAST_FRAME set).
827
8282012-05-07 - 653d117 / 828bd08 - lavc 54.20.100 / 54.13.0 - avcodec.h

936  3c5fe5b / f1caf01 Allow doing av_write_frame(ctx, NULL) for flushing possible
937          buffered data within a muxer. Added AVFMT_ALLOW_FLUSH for

987  avcodec_decode_audio4() writes output samples to an AVFrame, which allows
988  audio decoders to use get_buffer().
989
9902011-12-04 - e4de716 / 560f773 - lavc 53.40.0 / 53.24.0
991  Change AVFrame.data[4]/base[4]/linesize[4]/error[4] to [8] at next major bump.

2020  new functions avcodec_decode_video2(), avcodec_decode_audio3() and
2021  avcodec_decode_subtitle2(). These new functions take an AVPacket *pkt
2022  argument instead of a const uint8_t *buf / int buf_size pair.
2023
20242009-04-03 - 7b09db3 - lavu 50.3.0 - av_fifo_space()
2025  Introduce the av_fifo_space() function.
2026
20272009-04-02 - fabd246 - lavc 52.23.0 - AVPacket
2028  Move AVPacket declaration from libavformat/avformat.h to
2029  libavcodec/avcodec.h.

20312009-03-22 - 6e08ca9 - lavu 50.2.0 - RGB32 pixel formats
2032  Convert the pixel formats PIX_FMT_ARGB, PIX_FMT_RGBA, PIX_FMT_ABGR,
2033  PIX_FMT_BGRA, which were defined as macros, into enum PixelFormat values.
2034  Conversely PIX_FMT_RGB32, PIX_FMT_RGB32_1, PIX_FMT_BGR32 and
2035  PIX_FMT_BGR32_1 are now macros.
2036  avcodec_get_pix_fmt() now recognizes the "rgb32" and "bgr32" aliases.
2037  Re-sort the enum PixelFormat list accordingly.
2038  This change breaks API/ABI backward compatibility.
2039
20402009-03-22 - f82674e - lavu 50.1.0 - PIX_FMT_RGB5X5 endian variants
2041  Add the enum PixelFormat values:
2042  PIX_FMT_RGB565BE, PIX_FMT_RGB565LE, PIX_FMT_RGB555BE, PIX_FMT_RGB555LE,
2043  PIX_FMT_BGR565BE, PIX_FMT_BGR565LE, PIX_FMT_BGR555BE, PIX_FMT_BGR555LE.
2044
20452009-03-21 - ee6624e - lavu 50.0.0  - av_random*
2046  The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av_random* functions
2047  was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av_lfg* functions
2048  instead.
2049
20502009-03-08 - 41dd680 - lavu 50.0.0  - AVFifoBuffer
2051  av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped
2052  and replaced by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write
2053  and av_fifo_realloc2.
2054  In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read
2055  was changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
2056  The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
2057  applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.
2058
20592009-03-01 - ec26457 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
2060  Introduce a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
2061  The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially
2062  includes the following structure fields:
2063    - AVFormatContext.title
2064    - AVFormatContext.author
2065    - AVFormatContext.copyright
2066    - AVFormatContext.comment
2067    - AVFormatContext.album
2068    - AVFormatContext.year
2069    - AVFormatContext.track
2070    - AVFormatContext.genre
2071    - AVStream.language
2072    - AVStream.filename
2073    - AVProgram.provider_name
2074    - AVProgram.name
2075    - AVChapter.title
