Applications that have been linked against an older release of Libav and pick up updated libraries experience segmentation faults because they pick up the new libavfilter, which assumes AVFrames have been allocated by libavutil and thus contain new reference-counting related fields. This will break for AVFrames that have been allocated by old libavcodec. All scheduled API changes are deferred to the next bump.
