+2022-08-xx - xxxxxxxxxx - lavu 57.31.100 - frame.h
+  av_frame_make_writable() may now be called on non-refcounted
+  frames and will make a refcounted copy out of them.
+  Previously an error was returned in such cases.
+
 2022-07-xx - xxxxxxxxx - lavc 59.40.100 - avcodec.h
   Add the AV_CODEC_FLAG2_ICC_PROFILES flag to AVCodecContext, to enable
   automatic reading and writing of embedded ICC profiles in image files.
