2009-04-03 - r18321 - lavu 50.3.0 - av_fifo_space()
738 739
  Introduce the av_fifo_space() function.

740 741 742 743
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
745 746 747 748 749
  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.
750
  Re-sort the enum PixelFormat list accordingly.
751 752
  This change breaks API/ABI backward compatibility.

753 754 755 756 757
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.

758
2009-03-21 - r18116 - lavu 50.0.0  - av_random*
759 760 761 762
  The Mersenne Twister PRNG implemented through the av_random* functions
  was removed. Use the lagged Fibonacci PRNG through the av_lfg* functions
  instead.

763 764 765 766 767
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
768
  was changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
769 770
  The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
  applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.

772 773 774
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
