							- Never assume the API of libav* to be stable unless at least 1 week has passed since
 - the last major version increase.
 - The last version increases were:
 - libavcodec:  ?
 - libavdevice: ?
 - libavfilter: ?
 - libavformat: ?
 - libpostproc: ?
 - libswscale:  ?
 - libavutil:   2009-03-08
 - 
 - 
 - API changes, most recent first:
 - 
 - 20090308 - 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 were 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.
 - 
 - 20090301 - r17682 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
 -   This version introduces a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
 -   The old API is now deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. This especially
 -   includes the following structure fields:
 -     - AVFormatContext.title
 -     - AVFormatContext.author
 -     - AVFormatContext.copyright
 -     - AVFormatContext.comment
 -     - AVFormatContext.album
