+### Deprecated SbMediaGetBufferStorageType()
+The SbMediaGetBufferPadding() API was deprecated.  SbMediaBufferStorageType was
+also deprecated as a result.

 ### Removed SbUser from SbStorageOpenRecord and SbStorageDeleteRecord
 The `SbStorageOpenRecord` and `SbStorageDeleteRecord` APIs defined in
 `starboard/storage.h` no longer have a parameter for `SbUser` as the APIs are
