+<p>
+In preparation for the upcoming Libav 11 release, we have bumped the major
+versions of all the libraries we ship (libavcodec, libavformat, libavfilter,
+libavresample, libswscale, libavdevice and libavutil). This allowed us to 
enable
+some new features that required breaking ABI compatibility. Dynamically linked
+applications thus need to be rebuilt to use the current Git master or the
+upcoming release.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The API remains backward compatible, so no source changes should be required in
+the code that works with Libav 10. We note however, that a number of obsolete
+APIs remain deprecated and will be removed in the future. All users are 
strongly
+encouraged to update their code. A work in progress migration guide can be 
found
+at <a href="https://wiki.libav.org/Migration/11";>our wiki</a>. If you are still
+having difficulty after reading the migration guide, please do not hesitate to
+file a report in our Bugzilla. We have a special category for porting issues.
