1 Never assume the API of libav* to be stable unless at least 1 week has passed since
2 the last major version increase.
3 The last version increases were:
13 API changes, most recent first:
15 20090308 - r17869 - lavu 50.0.0 - AVFifoBuffer
16 av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped and replaced
17 by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write and av_fifo_realloc2.
18 In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read were changed
19 to match av_fifo_generic_write.
20 The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by applications,
21 they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.
23 20090301 - r17682 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
24 This version introduces a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
25 The old API is now deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. This especially
26 includes the following structure fields:
27 - AVFormatContext.title
28 - AVFormatContext.author
29 - AVFormatContext.copyright
30 - AVFormatContext.comment
31 - AVFormatContext.album
32 - AVFormatContext.year
33 - AVFormatContext.track
34 - AVFormatContext.genre
37 - AVProgram.provider_name
