Additionally, there has been a major cleanup of +both internal and external APIs. For this reason, the major versions of all +libraries have been bumped. On the one hand, this means that 0.7 is fully +co-installable with its previous releases, on the other hand in order to benefit +from the new features, applications need to be recompiled. + +Other important changes are additions of decoders including, but not limited to, +AMR-WB, single stream LATM/LOAS, G.722 ADPCM, a native VP8 decoder +andHE-AACv2.
