API changes, most recent first:
2017-09-28 - xxxxxxx - lavc 57.106.104 - avcodec.h
Add AV_PKT_DATA_A53_CC packet side data, to export closed captions
2017-09-27 - xxxxxxx - 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().

API only (avcodec_decode_video2/avcodec_decode_audio4). The new decode APIs
(avcodec_send_packet/avcodec_receive_frame) always work with reference
counted frames.

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().

Add AV_PIX_FMT_FLAG_FLOAT pixel format flag.
2017-08-08 - xxxxxxx - lavu 55.72.100 - imgutils.h
Add av_image_fill_black().
2017-08-08 - xxxxxxx - lavu 55.71.100 - frame.h
Add av_frame_apply_cropping().
2017-07-25 - 24de4fddca - lavu 55.69.100 - frame.h
Add AV_FRAME_DATA_ICC_PROFILE side data type.
2017-xx-xx - xxxxxxx - lavc 57.100.100 - avcodec.h
DXVA2 and D3D11 hardware accelerated decoding now supports the new hwaccel API,
which can create the decoder context and allocate hardware frame automatically.
See AVCodecContext.hw_device_ctx and AVCodecContext.hw_frames_ctx. For D3D11,
the new AV_PIX_FMT_D3D11 pixfmt must be used with the new API.

2017-06-14 - xxxxxxx - lavu 55.66.100 - hwcontext.h
av_hwframe_ctx_create_derived() now takes some AV_HWFRAME_MAP_* combination
as its flags argument (which was previously unused).
2017-06-14 - xxxxxxx - lavc 57.99.100 - avcodec.h

Add AVFrame.crop_left/right/top/bottom fields for attaching cropping
information to video frames.
2017-xx-xx - xxxxxxxxxx
Change av_sha_update(), av_sha512_update() and av_md5_sum()/av_md5_update() length
parameter type to size_t at next major bump.
2017-05-05 - xxxxxxxxxx - lavc 57.94.100 - avcodec.h
The cuvid decoders now support AVCodecContext.hw_device_ctx, which removes
the requirement to set an incomplete AVCodecContext.hw_frames_ctx only to
set the Cuda device handle.

2016-04-06 - 157e57a181 - lavc 57.92.100 - avcodec.h
Add AV_PKT_DATA_CONTENT_LIGHT_LEVEL packet side data.
2016-04-06 - b378f5bd64 - lavu 55.60.100 - mastering_display_metadata.h
Add AV_FRAME_DATA_CONTENT_LIGHT_LEVEL value, av_content_light_metadata_alloc()
and av_content_light_metadata_create_side_data() API, and AVContentLightMetadata
type to export content light level video properties.

Add av_hwframe_ctx_create_derived().
2017-03-29 - bfdcdd6d82 - lavu 55.52.100 - avutil.h
add av_fourcc_make_string() function and av_fourcc2str() macro to replace
av_get_codec_tag_string() from lavc.
2017-03-27 - ddef3d902f - lavf 57.68.100 - avformat.h
Deprecate that demuxers export the stream rotation angle in AVStream.metadata
(via an entry named "rotate"). Use av_stream_get_side_data() with
AV_PKT_DATA_DISPLAYMATRIX instead, and read the rotation angle with
av_display_rotation_get(). The same is done for muxing. Instead of adding a
"rotate" entry to AVStream.metadata, AV_PKT_DATA_DISPLAYMATRIX side data has
to be added to the AVStream.
2017-03-23 - 7e4ba776a2 - lavc 57.85.101 - avcodec.h
vdpau hardware accelerated decoding now supports the new hwaccel API, which

Add AVIO_SEEKABLE_TIME flag.
2017-03-21 - d682ae70b4 - lavf 57.66.105, lavc 57.83.101 - avformat.h, avcodec.h
Deprecate AVFMT_FLAG_KEEP_SIDE_DATA. It will be ignored after the next major
bump, and libavformat will behave as if it were always set.
Deprecate av_packet_merge_side_data() and av_packet_split_side_data().
2016-03-20 - 8200b16a9c - lavu 55.50.100 / 55.21.0 - imgutils.h
Add av_image_copy_uc_from(), a version of av_image_copy() for copying
from GPU mapped memory.
2017-03-20 - 9c2436e - lavu 55.49.100 - pixdesc.h
Add AV_PIX_FMT_FLAG_BAYER pixel format flag.
2017-03-18 - 3796fb2692 - lavfi 6.77.100 - avfilter.h

Add AV_SPHERICAL_EQUIRECTANGULAR_TILE, av_spherical_tile_bounds(),
and projection-specific properties (bound_left, bound_top, bound_right,

AVVideotoolboxContext.cv_pix_fmt_type can now be set to 0 to output the
native decoder format. (The default value is not changed.)
2017-03-02 - 554bc4eea8 - lavu 55.47.101, lavc 57.81.102, lavf 57.66.103
Remove requirement to use AVOption or accessors to access certain fields
in AVFrame, AVCodecContext, and AVFormatContext that were previously
documented as "no direct access" allowed.
2017-02-13 - c1a5fca06f - lavc 57.80.100 - avcodec.h
Add AVCodecContext.hw_device_ctx.
