AÖ		 7892009-06-01 - r19025 - lavc 52.30.0 - av_lockmgr_register()
790 av_lockmgr_register() can be used to register a callback function
791 that lavc (and in the future, libraries that depend on lavc) can use
792 to implement mutexes. The application should provide a callback function
227d1b98
DB		 793 that implements the AV_LOCK_* operations described in avcodec.h.
794 When the lock manager is registered, FFmpeg is guaranteed to behave
795 correctly in a multi-threaded application.

805 The old decoding functions are deprecated, all new code should use the
806 new functions avcodec_decode_video2(), avcodec_decode_audio3() and

227d1b98
DB		 818 Convert the pixel formats PIX_FMT_ARGB, PIX_FMT_RGBA, PIX_FMT_ABGR,
819 PIX_FMT_BGRA, which were defined as macros, into enum PixelFormat values.
820 Conversely PIX_FMT_RGB32, PIX_FMT_RGB32_1, PIX_FMT_BGR32 and
821 PIX_FMT_BGR32_1 are now macros.
822 avcodec_get_pix_fmt() now recognizes the "rgb32" and "bgr32" aliases.

839 and av_fifo_realloc2.
840 In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read
227d1b98 841 was changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
889cdae8
DB		 842 The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
