Never assume the API of libav* to be stable unless at least 1 month has passedsince the last major version increase. The last version increases were:libavcodec: 2012-01-27libavdevice: 2011-04-18libavfilter: 2012-06-22libavformat: 2012-01-27libavresample: 2012-04-24libswscale: 2011-06-20libavutil: 2011-04-18 API changes, most recent first: 2012-10-xx - xxxxxxx - lavu 51.43.0 - aes.h, md5.h, sha.h, tree.h Add functions for allocating the opaque contexts for the algorithms, deprecate the context size variables. 2012-10-xx - xxxxxxx - lavf 54.18.0 - avio.h Add avio_closep to complement avio_close. 2012-10-xx - xxxxxxx - lavu 51.42.0 - pixfmt.h Rename PixelFormat to AVPixelFormat and all PIX_FMT_* to AV_PIX_FMT_*.
