> Thats unfortunate, however a release has already been made with the
changed ABI, so any changes now would only make it worse. And master had a
major bump to resolve any ABI concerns.
It's not the first time this happened. See 3.1 and lavfi.
vector_dmac_scalar() is only available in release/3.4 fortunately, so it
should be moved down to the end of the struct for 3.4.1 and the release
news entry have a line about it, just like we did with 3.1.1.
The major bump doesn't really solve this for those trying to stay
compatible with the 3.x ABI, which means every 3.4 user, the latest stable
release.
