In order to improve consistency and reduce attack surface, it has been deprecated.  Users of this library are asked to migrate to libswresample, which, as well as  providing more functionality, is faster and has higher accuracy. 2017-12-26 - a04c2c707d - lavc 58.9.100 - avcodec.h  Deprecate av_lockmgr_register(). You need to build FFmpeg with threading  support enabled to get basic thread-safety (which is the default build  configuration). 2017-12-24 - 8b81eabe57 - lavu 56.7.100 - cpu.h  AVX-512 flags added. 2017-12-16 - 8bf4e6d3ce - lavc 58.8.100 - avcodec.h  The MediaCodec decoders now support AVCodecContext.hw_device_ctx. 2017-12-16 - e4d9f05ca7 - lavu 56.6.100 - hwcontext.h hwcontext_mediacodec.h  Add AV_HWDEVICE_TYPE_MEDIACODEC and a new installed header with  MediaCodec-specific hwcontext definitions. 2017-12-14 - b945fed629 - lavc 58.7.100 - avcodec.h  Add AV_CODEC_CAP_HARDWARE, AV_CODEC_CAP_HYBRID, and AVCodec.wrapper_name,  and mark all AVCodecs accordingly. 2017-11-29 - d268094f88 - lavu 56.4.100 / 56.7.0 - stereo3d.h  Add view field to AVStereo3D structure and AVStereo3DView enum. 2017-11-26 - 3a71bcc213 - lavc 58.6.100 - avcodec.h  Add const to AVCodecContext.hwaccel. 2017-11-26 - 3536a3efb9 - lavc 58.5.100 - avcodec.h  Deprecate user visibility of the AVHWAccel structure and the functions  av_register_hwaccel() and av_hwaccel_next(). 2017-11-26 - 24cc0a53e9 - lavc 58.4.100 - avcodec.h  Add AVCodecHWConfig and avcodec_get_hw_config(). 2017-11-22 - 3650cb2dfa - lavu 56.3.100 - opencl.h  Remove experimental OpenCL API (av_opencl_*). 2017-11-22 - b25d8ef0a7 - lavu 56.2.100 - hwcontext.h hwcontext_opencl.h  Add AV_HWDEVICE_TYPE_OPENCL and a new installed header with  OpenCL-specific hwcontext definitions. 2017-11-22 - a050f56c09 - lavu 56.1.100 - pixfmt.h  Add AV_PIX_FMT_OPENCL. 2017-11-11 - 48e4eda11d - lavc 58.3.100 - avcodec.h  Add avcodec_get_hw_frames_parameters(). -------- 8< --------- FFmpeg 3.4 was cut here -------- 8< --------- 2017-09-28 - b6cf66ae1c - lavc 57.106.104 - avcodec.h  Add AV_PKT_DATA_A53_CC packet side data, to export closed captions 2017-09-27 - 7aa6b8a68f - lavu 55.77.101 / lavu 55.31.1 - frame.h  Allow passing the value of 0 (meaning "automatic") as the required alignment  to av_frame_get_buffer(). 2017-09-27 - 522f877086 - lavu 55.77.100 / lavu 55.31.0 - cpu.h  Add av_cpu_max_align() for querying maximum required data alignment. 2017-09-26 - b1cf151c4d - lavc 57.106.102 - avcodec.h  Deprecate AVCodecContext.refcounted_frames. This was useful for deprecated  API only (avcodec_decode_video2/avcodec_decode_audio4). The new decode APIs  (avcodec_send_packet/avcodec_receive_frame) always work with reference  counted frames. 2017-09-21 - 6f15f1cdc8 - lavu 55.76.100 / 56.6.0 - pixdesc.h  Add av_color_range_from_name(), av_color_primaries_from_name(),  av_color_transfer_from_name(), av_color_space_from_name(), and  av_chroma_location_from_name(). 2017-09-13 - 82342cead1 - lavc 57.106.100 - avcodec.h
