-   FFmpeg 2.4 is mostly API-, but not ABI-compatible with the previous major release.
-   This means that the code using our libraries needs to be rebuilt, but only minimal
-   source changes should be required, as described in the section 'API Information'.
+   The FFmpeg Project proudly presents FFmpeg 2.4 "Fresnel", just 2 months
+   after the release of 2.3. Since this wasn't a long time ago, the Changelog

+   compatible. But on the other hand it is aligned with the Libav 11 release
+   series, and will as a result probably end up being maintained for a long
+   time.
