+  Conversely PIX_FMT_RGB32, PIX_FMT_RGB32_1, PIX_FMT_BGR32 and
+  PIX_FMT_BGR32_1 are now macros.
+  avcodec_get_pix_fmt() now recognizes the "rgb32" and "bgr32" aliases.
+  Re-sort the enum PixelFormat list accordingly.
+  This change breaks API/ABI backward compatibility.
+

+  av_fifo_init, av_fifo_read, av_fifo_write and av_fifo_realloc were dropped
+  and replaced by av_fifo_alloc, av_fifo_generic_read, av_fifo_generic_write
+  and av_fifo_realloc2.
+  In addition, the order of the function arguments of av_fifo_generic_read
+  was changed to match av_fifo_generic_write.
+  The AVFifoBuffer/struct AVFifoBuffer may only be used in an opaque way by
+  applications, they may not use sizeof() or directly access members.
+
[phone] - ec26457 - lavf 52.31.0 - Generic metadata API
+  Introduce a new metadata API (see av_metadata_get() and friends).
+  The old API is now deprecated and should not be used anymore. This especially

+    - AVFormatContext.copyright
+    - AVFormatContext.comment
