40020e17
  *
97200d89
  * Each of the FFmpeg libraries contains a version.h header, which defines a
40020e17
  * major, minor and micro version number with the
  * <em>LIBRARYNAME_VERSION_{MAJOR,MINOR,MICRO}</em> macros. The major version
  * number is incremented with backward incompatible changes - e.g. removing
  * parts of the public API, reordering public struct members, etc. The minor
  * version number is incremented for backward compatible API changes or major
  * new features - e.g. adding a new public function or a new decoder. The micro
  * version number is incremented for smaller changes that a calling program
  * might still want to check for - e.g. changing behavior in a previously
  * unspecified situation.
  *
97200d89
  * FFmpeg guarantees backward API and ABI compatibility for each library as long
40020e17
  * as its major version number is unchanged. This means that no public symbols
  * will be removed or renamed. Types and names of the public struct members and
  * values of public macros and enums will remain the same (unless they were
  * explicitly declared as not part of the public API). Documented behavior will
  * not change.
  *
97200d89
  * In other words, any correct program that works with a given FFmpeg snapshot
40020e17
  * should work just as well without any changes with any later snapshot with the
  * same major versions. This applies to both rebuilding the program against new
97200d89
  * FFmpeg versions or to replacing the dynamic FFmpeg libraries that a program
40020e17
  * links against.
  *
  * However, new public symbols may be added and new members may be appended to
  * public structs whose size is not part of public ABI (most public structs in
97200d89
  * FFmpeg). New macros and enum values may be added. Behavior in undocumented
40020e17
  * situations may change slightly (and be documented). All those are accompanied
  * by an entry in doc/APIchanges and incrementing either the minor or micro
  * version number.
