 -   Add a pts field to AVSubtitle which gives the subtitle packet pts
 -   in AV_TIME_BASE. Some subtitle de-/encoders (e.g. XSUB) will
 -   not work right without this.
 - 
 - 2009-06-03 - r19078 - lavc 52.30.2 - AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY
 -   PKT_FLAG_KEY has been deprecated and will be dropped at the next
 -   major version. Use AV_PKT_FLAG_KEY instead.
 - 
 - 2009-06-01 - r19025 - lavc 52.30.0 - av_lockmgr_register()
 -   av_lockmgr_register() can be used to register a callback function
 -   that lavc (and in the future, libraries that depend on lavc) can use
 -   to implement mutexes. The application should provide a callback function
 -   that implements the AV_LOCK_* operations described in avcodec.h.
 -   When the lock manager is registered, FFmpeg is guaranteed to behave
 -   correctly in a multi-threaded application.
 - 
 - 2009-04-30 - r18719 - lavc 52.28.0 - av_free_packet
 -   av_free_packet() is no longer an inline function. It is now exported.
 - 
 - 2009-04-11 - r18431 - lavc 52.25.0 - deprecate av_destruct_packet_nofree
 -   Please use NULL instead. This has been supported since r16506
 -   (lavf > 52.23.1, lavc > 52.10.0).
 - 
 - 2009-04-07 - r18351 - lavc 52.23.0 - avcodec_decode_video/audio/subtitle
 -   The old decoding functions are deprecated, all new code should use the
 -   new functions avcodec_decode_video2(), avcodec_decode_audio3() and
 -   avcodec_decode_subtitle2(). These new functions take an AVPacket *pkt
 -   argument instead of a const uint8_t *buf / int buf_size pair.
 - 
 - 2009-04-03 - r18321 - lavu 50.3.0 - av_fifo_space
 -   Introduce the av_fifo_space() function.
 - 
 - 2009-04-02 - r18317 - lavc 52.23.0 - AVPacket
 -   Move AVPacket declaration from libavformat/avformat.h to
 -   libavcodec/avcodec.h.
 - 
 - 2009-03-22 - r18163 - lavu 50.2.0 - RGB32 pixel formats
 -   Convert the pixel formats PIX_FMT_ARGB, PIX_FMT_RGBA, PIX_FMT_ABGR,
 -   PIX_FMT_BGRA, which were defined as macros, into enum PixelFormat values.
 -   Conversely PIX_FMT_RGB32, PIX_FMT_RGB32_1, PIX_FMT_BGR32 and
 -   PIX_FMT_BGR32_1 are now macros.
 -   avcodec_get_pix_fmt() now recognizes the "rgb32" and "bgr32" aliases.
 -   Re-sort the enum PixelFormat list accordingly.
 -   This change breaks API/ABI backward compatibility.
 - 
 - 2009-03-22 - r18133 - lavu 50.1.0 - PIX_FMT_RGB5X5 endian variants
 -   Add the enum PixelFormat values:
 -   PIX_FMT_RGB565BE, PIX_FMT_RGB565LE, PIX_FMT_RGB555BE, PIX_FMT_RGB555LE,
 -   PIX_FMT_BGR565BE, PIX_FMT_BGR565LE, PIX_FMT_BGR555BE, PIX_FMT_BGR555LE.
 - 
 - 2009-03-21 - r18116 - lavu 50.0.0  - av_random*
 -   The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av_random* functions
 -   was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av_lfg* functions
 -   instead.
 - 
 - 2009-03-08 - r17869 - lavu 50.0.0  - AVFifoBuffer
 -   av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped
 -   and replaced by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write
 -   and av_fifo_realloc2.
 -   In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read
 -   was changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
 -   The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
 -   applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.
 - 
 - 2009-03-01 - r17682 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
 -   Introduce a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
 -   The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially
 -   includes the following structure fields:
 -     - AVFormatContext.title
 -     - AVFormatContext.author
 -     - AVFormatContext.copyright
 -     - AVFormatContext.comment
 -     - AVFormatContext.album
 -     - AVFormatContext.year
 -     - AVFormatContext.track
 -     - AVFormatContext.genre
 -     - AVStream.language
 -     - AVStream.filename
 -     - AVProgram.provider_name
 -     - AVProgram.name
 -     - AVChapter.title
