 API changes, most recent first:
 
+2020-xx-xx - xxxxxxxxxx - lavu 56.43.100 - video_enc_params.h
+  Add a new API for exporting video encoding information.
+  Replaces the deprecated API for exporting QP tables from decoders.
+
 2020-04-15 - xxxxxxxxxx - lavc 58.79.100 - avcodec.h
   Add formal support for calling avcodec_flush_buffers() on encoders.
   Encoders that set the cap AV_CODEC_CAP_ENCODER_FLUSH will be flushed.
