sizeof(AVPacket) should not be part of the public API/ABI, well it should never have been. Do we maybe need a list of release blocking issues on trac or some tag or something ? So issues like this are more vissible to everyone, its not optimal to get a list of release blockers relatively late, then rush it and then have a higher risk for regressions anyway, tell me once the blockers are resolved, and please dont rush, its better if we are a few days later than if there are some major bugs introduced Thanks [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Avoid a single point of failure, be that a person or equipment.
