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 2009-03-21 - r18116 - lavu 50.2.0 - av_random*
16 The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av_random* functions
17 was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av_lfg* functions
21 2009-03-08 - r17869 - lavu 50.0.0 - AVFifoBuffer
22 av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped
23 and replaced by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write
25 In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read
26 were changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
27 The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
28 applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.
30 2009-03-01 - r17682 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
31 Introduce a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
32 The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially
33 includes the following structure fields:
34 - AVFormatContext.title
35 - AVFormatContext.author
36 - AVFormatContext.copyright
37 - AVFormatContext.comment
38 - AVFormatContext.album
39 - AVFormatContext.year
40 - AVFormatContext.track
41 - AVFormatContext.genre
44 - AVProgram.provider_name
