---------------------
Libavcodec and libavformat built as shared libraries now hide non-public
symbols. This will break applications using those symbols. Possible solutions
are, in order of preference:
1) Try finding a way of accomplishing the same with public API.
2) If there is no corresponding public API, but you think there should be,
post a request on the user mailing list or IRC channel.
3) Finally if your program needs access to Libav internals for some special
reason then the best solution is to link statically.
Please see the Changelog file for a more detailed list of changes.
