libvlc.dll much smaller than in older versions

I use libvlc.dll in my C++ application. Now I see that its only 102 kbyte instead of around 2 mbyte as it was in older versions.
Does it support all the exported functions as did the older one?
Is there any documentation that refers to that?

It was splitted to smaller pieces. It needs now the avcodec-51.dll, libfreetype-6.dll etc. from VLC main folder to work.

Well not exactly.

libvlc and libvlccore have been splitted for a start (see libvlccore.dll is around 0.9MB)
Then, libvlccore needs libiconv-2.dll and libgcrypt-11.dll to work.

Some other plugins (libavcodec and libavformat for example) need additionnal libraries.
