 API changes, most recent first:
 
+2017-04-30 - xxxxxxx - lavu 56.1.1 - hwcontext.h
+  av_hwframe_ctx_create_derived() now takes some AV_HWFRAME_MAP_* combination
+  as its flags argument (which was previously unused).
+
 2017-04-xx - xxxxxxx - lavu 56.1.0 - spherical.h
   Add av_spherical_projection_name() and av_spherical_from_name().
