This commit (http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=commit;h=45bfe8b838275235412777dd430206d9a24eb3ee)
was applied in late August (as the entries were private - kind of like
this one remaining entry), and I can find Anton noting in May that the
project is in ABI instability period. So do excuse me for not knowing
which mode we are in right now if it went on for at least four months
:D
