-Other notable changes
----------------------
-
-Libavcodec and libavformat built as shared libraries now hide non-public
-symbols. This will break applications using those symbols. Possible solutions
-are, in order of preference:
-1) Try finding a way of accomplishing the same with public API.
-2) If there is no corresponding public API, but you think there should be,
-post a request on the developer mailing list or IRC channel.
-3) Finally if your program needs access to FFmpeg / libavcodec / libavformat
-internals for some special reason then the best solution is to link statically.
