20 as play, pause, stop, next, fast etc. work again.
21 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome_*: got rid of lots of useless wrappers which were a
22 workaround for a bug in Glade. Instead, bootstrap.sh does the Glade fixes.
23 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: if there is already a video output with the
24 appropriate properties, we use it.
25 * ./Makefile: minor fix for the BeOS' make-package (icon loss).

34 * ./src/interface/interface.c: interfaces are no longer attached only to
36 * ./src/libvlc.c, ./src/misc/modules.c, ./src/playlist/playlist.c,
37 ./src/input/input.c: improvements in the playlist handling (not quite that

86 called. This should fix the memory leak some people reported when using
88 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: factored code common to the interfaces into the
89 network_ChannelJoin function.
90 * ./plugins/mga/xmga.c, ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c, ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c,
91 ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: we can now use keys F1 to F12 to switch

99 * ./plugins/macosx/*: rewrote the net panel for OS X
100 * ./plugins/qnx/vout_qnx.c: QNX compilation fix.
101 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: fixed a margin bug in the SPU renderer

151 macros to accept a default value as an argument.
152 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: modified the command line parsing to accept
153 --foo and --no-foo when a "foo" boolean config option is defined.
154 * ./src/interface/main.c: modified the help menu to indicate whether the
155 option is enabled or disabled by default.
156 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: when the video output hasn't received
157 a new picture for a while, it redisplays the last displayed one. This will
158 be useful for DVD menus, but also solves the "picture becomes black when
159 vlc is paused" issue.
160 * ./plugins/dummy/dummy.c: added a CATEGORY_HINT to the config.
161 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: small change to the ToggleFullscreen routine
162 to avoid a flickering during the switch.

176 * ./plugins/aa/aa.c: removed all palette code as it was unused.
177 * ./plugins/aa/aa.c: moved the aa_fastrender call from vout_Display to
179 * ./plugins/aa/aa.c: added support for resizing and right-click menu.
180 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: in order to make ac3 working in avi file, moved
181 some code from ac3 decoder to mpeg_system.c. (skip 3 bytes is now done in
182 mpeg_system.c and no longer in ac3 audio decoder).
183 * src/misc/netutils.c: tests if message from vlcs begins with 'E:' or 'I:'
184 instead of testing 'E: ' and 'I: ' (to simplify miniVLCS).
185 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c, ./plugins/avi/libioRIFF.c: added more safety tests.
186 * ./include/inpu_ext-dec.h: added a check to fifo->b_die after the call
187 to BitstreamNextDataPacket() in GetChunk().
190 Thu, 23 May 2002 01:27:05 +0200

193 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.h: bugfix for the I420 to YUY2 MMX chroma
194 transformations, with the help of Pascal Levesque.
195 * ./plugins/directx/directx.c: UnregisterClass() in MODULE_DEACTIVATE. If
196 we don't do this, trying to use the class when the plugin is reloaded will
198 * win32: replaced TUpDown components by TCSpinEdit ones, which allow
199 values greater than 32767. It fixes the audio bug ocurring when a
200 configuration file is saved under the win32 interface
201 * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: Added some extra space between
202 statusbar and toolbar when nothing is displayed.
203 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: on win32 the logger interface shows up a dos
205 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c: fixed uninitialized variable
206 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: simplified GtkRebuildCList()
207 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: changes to reduce segfaults on exit,
208 and also allow only one Playlist window.
209 * ./include/modules_inner.h: fixed a crash when reopening a hidden
211 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: on Win32 the DVD access plugin has to be
212 explicitly requested. This avoids crashes when the input thread tries
213 to open files as dvds.
214 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: fixed a side-effect bug causing crashes
216 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.c: margin support for the 420 planar to 422
217 packed chroma transformations.
218 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed a bug with the input remaining stuck when no
219 network data was present.
220 * win32: fixed a stupid bug in the Network dialog.
221 * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a little memleak.
222 * ./src/input/input_dec.c: removed useless code.
223 * ./src/input/input.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: fixed access to uninitialized
225 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_demux.c: fixed the pf_demux return value.
226 * ./configure.in: tried to fix the -lavcodec detection.
227 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed x11 and xvideo alternate fullscreen.
228 * ./plugins/network/ipv6.c: experimental support for Windows IPv6
229 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: added an option to disable the dynamic range
231 * ./Makefile.opts.in: removed configuration stuff which does not need to
232 rebuild anything to Makefile.config, so that editing it will not cause
234 * ./plugins/beos/VideoWindow.h, ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: improved
235 Overlay and Bitmap output modes.
236 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.m, ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.m: removed
238 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_controller.[mh]: you can now drag & drop files onto
239 the vlc dock icon. CFBundleDocumentTypes in Info.plist doesn't seem to have
240 any effect, so you'll have to hold down command-option when dropping until
242 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: removed previous patch to the video
243 output since it causes problems for some people.
244 * ./plugins/macosx/*: worked around a bug in seeking.
245 * ./include/threads_func.h: OS X port now uses real-time threads.
246 * ./configure.in: fixes for ffmpeg and mad.
247 * ./extras/MacOSX/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib/objects.nib: OS X intf
248 is now more consistent with Apple guidelines.

255 * ./plugins/satellite/input_satellite.c: cosmetic changes in error messages.
256 * ./plugins/gtk/*: gtk and gnome interfaces now use frequency and symbol
258 * ./BUGS: removed fixed entries.
259 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: initialize p_spudec->p_vout to NULL to
260 prevent segfaults if InitThread does not complete.
261 * ./plugins/text/rc.c: on win32 the rc plugin opens a new console.
262 * ./plugins/filters/*: filters were using memalign but freeing p_data instead
264 * ./extras/Win32_msvc/vlc.dsp: updated MSVC++ project.
265 * ./src/interface/main.c: small corrections to the LONGTEXT descriptions in
267 * ./AUTHORS: a few additions.
268 * ./vlc.spec: updates, courtesy of Yves Duret <yves.duret@mandrakesoft.com>.
269 * ./configure.in: new --with-ffmpeg option for standard installations.
270 * ./src/interface/main.c: updated long descriptions.
271 * ./plugins/dummy/intf_dummy.c: on win32 the dummy interface plugin will
272 open a dos command box. With this fix, vlc should never fail silently and
273 leave a ghost process running in the background when there isn't any
275 * ./include/config.h: on win32 DVD/VCD_DEVICE defaults to to D:.
276 * ./src/interface/main.c: added a few *_LONGTEXT descriptions.
277 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/video_parser.c: moved the mpeg-motion and mpeg-idct
278 options to the mpeg_vdec plugin.
279 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: mark subpictures destroyed when we end
281 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c: desperate attempt to improve audio output.
282 * ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml, ./doc/vlc.1, ./README.MacOSX.rtf: updated
284 * ./INSTALL.win32: updated INSTALL.win32.
285 * ./plguins/directx/vout_directx.c, ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: a little
286 bit of clean-up in the directx video output plugin
287 * ./plugins/macosx/*: fixed Mac OS X resizing.
288 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: warning levels are no longer additive, patch
289 courtesy of Arnaud de Bossoreille de Ribou <bozo@via.ecp.fr>.
290 * ALL: changed __inline__ with inline (autoconf does the job for us anyway,
291 and mipspro doesn't know about __inline__).
292 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c, ./src/audio_output/aout_ext-dec.c: fixed
293 deadlock in NextFrame() in aout_pcm.c.
294 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c, ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed
295 a bug in the directx window creation function. We register a window
296 class once per process so we must be careful not to free the associated
298 * ./extras/Win32_msvc/vlc.dsp: updated the MSVC++ project files and added
299 support for dirent (vlc compiled with msvc can now load plugins - even
300 compiled with mingw).
301 * ALL: small portability fixes.
302 * ./plugins/macosx/*: menu item to maximize the volume in Mac OS X.
303 * ALL: dropped dependancy on autoconf 2.52.
304 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: modified the directx video plugin to try
305 to create an YUV surface before falling back to an RGB surface when it's
306 not possible to use overlays. Some graphic cards can do the YUV->RGB
307 conversion in hardware during the blitting stage.
308 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: in the directx video plugin, we now
309 request that the RGB surface be created in video memory. The reasoning
310 behind this is that usually surfaces in video memory benefit from more
311 hardware acceleration (like for instance hw rescaling, hw blitting, etc.).
312 * ./plugins/directx/directx.c: added two options to the directx video plugin
313 to disable the above features (mainly because my video driver is buggy and
314 doesn't handle them well).
315 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: small cosmetic changes to the generation of
317 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fix for config_GetHomeDir() on win32.
318 SHGetFolderPath() is located in shfolder.dll not shell32.dll.
319 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: fix for the gtk preferences dialog box. To
320 be sure that an int or float value is actually changed we call
321 gtk_spin_button_update() in the GtkInt/FloatChanged() event handler.
322 * ./debian/control: made the Build-Depends: entry a one-liner (Closes
324 * ./src/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: a lock was not released.
325 * ./plugins/text/rc.c: added a safety lock.
326 * ./plugins/gtk/*: new Network dialog box for Gtk and Gnome interfaces.
327 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: you can now force the mpeg_audio demux
329 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_headers.c: update reference in case of sequence
331 * ./src/input/input_clock.c: don't keep the control lock during the pause.
332 * ./plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c, ./src/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: check for
333 b_die and b_error in all loops so that we don't remain stuck waiting for
334 data whereas the vlc has tried to quit.
335 * ./src/misc/mtime.c: we use nanosleep whenever possible (patch from Meuuh).
336 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c : it will not segfault with broken avi with an unknown
338 * ./src/misc/mtime.c: removed usage of usleep (not thread safe) (by Meuuh).
339 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: video output patch to improve handling
340 of late pictures (by Meuuh).
341 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c, src/interface/intf_playlist.c: disabled
342 calls to realloc(_,0) in a similar way to input_programs.c.
343 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_seek.c: fix random segfaults on title change (i_cell
344 should be tested _before_ we access the structures).
345 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed memory corruption by setting a few
346 pointers to NULL after they have been free()ed.
347 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: removed now useless ASSERTs.
348 * ./plugins/beos/*: improved overlay and bitmap support, not tested on nVidia
349 cards. Lower CPU usage and no thread created per frame.
350 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c: added a sanity check.
351 * ./plugins/vcd/*: vcd access plugin now uses mpeg_ps demux instead of its
353 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_qdview.m: attempt to fix the video output with
355 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: probably fixed most "crash when changing
356 audio track" problems by zeroing the p_ac3dec structure.
357 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: fixed a "INPUT_MAX_ALLOCATION reached"
359 * ./src/input/input_dec.c, ./src/input/input_programs.c: check size to avoid
361 * ./plugins/win32/network.*: new Network dialog box.
362 * ./src/input/input.c, ./plugins/access/http.c, ./plugins/access/udp.c: added
363 the input_FDNetworkClose() function to be called when closing a networking
364 stream instead of input_FDClose().
365 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: use closesocket() instead of close() at the end
366 of the network_ChannelJoin() for WIN32.
367 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed an issue with long options from
368 modules where option arguments and playlist entries were mixed.
369 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: fixed endianness issue; subtitles colors
371 * ./plugins/satellite/input_satellite.c: fixed a compilation warning.
372 * ./configure.in: added libdvbpsi version check.
373 * ./include/modules_inner.h: fixed a bug in module reinitialization,
374 which should fix crashes after a long pause.
375 * ./src/input/*: fixed a bug (glitch/segfault) when seeking.
376 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: we handle PCR even if they are not attached
378 * ./configure.in: new --with-mad-tree configure option.
379 * ./BUGS: updated BUGS file.
380 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: it should now be possible to quit when reading
382 * ./src/misc/iso-639.def, ./include/iso_lang.h, ./src/misc/iso_lang.c:
384 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c, ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c,
385 ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: adapted DecodeLanguage calls to the new
387 * plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: ISO-639-2 descriptors handling.
388 * ./include/mmx.h, ./plugins/imdct/*: gcc-3.1 compilation fixes courtesy
389 of Yves Duret and other Mandrakesoft guys I don't know.
390 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_vlc_wrapper.m: do not eject when we're reading from
392 * ./src/misc/modules.c: if a module has a zero-scored capability, we don't
393 try to use it, unless it was explicitely requested (--vout for example).
394 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: fixed an aspect ratio issue (thanks Meuuh).
395 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: fixed an old old bug in TS demux, thank you
397 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: to avoid problem with PS, test only the
398 first 4 bytes for mpeg header so some broken files, and all web radio will
399 not work. You can change this by changing value of MPEGAUDIO_MAXTESTPOS.
400 * ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml: spelling mistakes, small updates, harmonization with
401 other documentations (thank you Alexis).
402 * ./plugins/satellite/*: some fixes in options parsing (thank you Sam).
403 * ./extras/MacOSX/Resources/vlc.icns: new OS X icon, courtesy of Joeri van
404 Dooren <joeri@van.dooren.be>.
405 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/video_decoder.c: Mac OS X fix.
406 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: you should again be able to play PS
407 streams (I hope it will be enough). Sorry.
408 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: CVS version of ffmpeg can now decode
409 msmpeg4 v1 v2, so I added support for this. But you can always use
410 the old ffmpeg library without any problem (I hope ;).
411 * ./include/video.h : added new fourcc codes for avi.
412 * ./plugins/filter/clone.c: New filter, `--filter clone', duplicates
413 display. To duplicate 12 times, use `--filter clone:12'.
414 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c, ./plugins/x11/xvideo.c: --xvideo-chroma flag to
415 force the XVimage format used.
416 * ./plugins/text/ncurses.c: ncurses interface improvements by Thomas Graf.
417 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: we don't use any more U32_AT.
418 * ./plugins/macosx/*: disabled auto-hiding of mouse cursor since it doesn't
419 work when browsing menus; instead, click in the video window
420 * ./plugins/macosx/*: fixed a major bug in the spu decoder.
421 * ./plugins/macosx/*: Objective-C files are now .m.
422 * ./plugins/macosx/*: fixed menus.
423 * ./plugins/macosx/*: menus for Program/Title/Chapter/Languages.
424 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: we use input_ClockManageRef to do synchro.
425 * ./include/common.h, ./include/input_ext-plugins.h: exported
426 input_ClockGetTS for plugins.
427 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: a demux for mpeg audio stream (file,
429 * ./src/interface/main.c: if Ctrl-C doesn't kill vlc cleanly for any
430 reason, user just needs to hit Ctrl-C again 1 second later and we'll
431 exit disgustingly instead of freezing.
432 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_vlc_wrapper.c: menu code fixes.
433 * ./plugins/macosx/*: fixed Mac OS X VOUT_SIZE_CHANGE signal.
434 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: corrected some bad lock/unlock.
435 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: can now use --novideo.
436 * ./plugins/macosx/*: improvements of the OS X GUI.
437 * ./plugins/mad/*: added mad plugin downscale config option for selecting
438 downscaling routine. Choices are: fast, mpg321. Default the fast version
439 is used. The downscale option mpg321 uses an algorithm that adapts to
440 dither errors. This routine is borrowed from MPG321 code.
441 * ./plugins/mad/*.c: mono audio streams get now duplicated on the right
442 channel instead of silencing the right channel (untested).
443 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c, ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: improvements.
444 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: video plugins that don't handle
445 rescaling themselves have to let the video_output thread know about
446 resizing events (with VOUT_SIZE_CHANGE event). (this part needs some
447 clean-up but it is basically working for the X11 and SDL plugins).
448 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: fixed fullscreen for the SDL plugin.
449 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c, ./plugins/mga/xmga.c: xmga and sdl now switch to
450 fullscreen on double-click.
451 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: try to not freeze when reaching end file.
452 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c, ./src/video_output.c: fixed the resizing and
453 scaling of the X11 video output.
454 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: clicking on the video doesn't pause it anymore
455 (use spacebar for this), but double-clicking will now switch between
456 fullscreen and window mode.
457 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: the Apply button in the preferences menu
458 is grayed out unless there's a change to apply.
459 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: GtkConfigApply() now clears the list of
460 config changes before returning.
461 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: fixed ipv4.so compilation under QNX.
462 * ./configure.in: deactivated ipv6.so under QNX for now.
463 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: more stable audio output with more output
465 * ./BUGS: no text in the status bar with gtk intf, no window title in gtk
466 intf on some machines, correct title on another.
467 * ./plugins/gtk/*.glade, ./plugins/gtk/*_interface.*: fix for interface
468 autoshrink when toolbar text isn't displayed.
469 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk_display.*:
470 callbacks for the hide tooltips and toolbar text options.
471 * ./plugins/mad/*: aout fifo adapts it size according to the length of the
472 first frame. The change is needed for MPEG1/2 layer III, because the size
473 of output pcm from mad_decoder is different.
474 * ./include/modules_inner.h, ./src/misc/configuration.c: support for config
476 * ./configure.in: we check support for variadic macros (screw Borland!).
477 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c: new option lets you hide the text of the
478 GNOME interface toolbar.
479 * ./FAQ: small FAQ update. Please note that everyone can update this FAQ if
480 they want, it is not my property :-).
481 * ./AUTHORS: added quite a few missing names.
482 * ./plugins/qnx/vout_qnx.c: port of the QNX vout plugin to the vout4 API,
483 courtesy of Pascal Levesque <Pascal.Levesque@mindready.com>.
484 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: you can now use slow and fast reading. After seeking,
485 audio and video synchro is better.
486 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: misc sound fixes.
487 * ./configure.in: fixed VCD double detection.
488 * ./src/misc/configuration.c, ./plugins/text/logger.c: the configuration file
489 and the log file are opened in text mode. This mode should only have a
490 meaning on Win32 and isn't supposed to break any other platform. If does
491 give you any trouble then shout.
492 * ./configure.in: added a --with-a52-tree option to the configure script.
493 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: FOURCC_YUY2 subtitles support (for NVidia
494 overlay) courtesy of Rudolf Cornelissen <rag.cornelissen@inter.nl.net>.
495 * ./plugins/kde/*: configuration dialog for the KDE interface, courtesy
496 of Sigmund Augdal <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>.
497 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.h: workaround for yet another annoying gcc
498 behaviour with inline assembly (seems to be BeOS-specific). If anyone has
499 a better idea than the huge "memory" constraint, please have a look at
500 the MMX_CALL() macro!
501 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: corrected a bug with broken avi files.
502 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: added config_Get/PutFloatVariable to
503 p_sysmbols. Thanks to Sigmund Augdal for pointing this bug out.
504 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c: on Win32 the aout_pcm thread is given a high
505 priority. This avoids lots of audio underruns, especially when moving
506 around the video window.
507 * plugins/avi/avi.c : changed in order to read more avi files, Meuuh
508 you can now read your file ;) (but audio is awful, perhaps because of mad
509 plugin ?). Fix a bug for audio with some avi files.
510 * ./plugins/satellite/satellite.c: fixed a compilation issue in satellite
511 input. It now uses common or libdvbpsi ts demux. Untested cause I can't
512 get our Nova Card work again.
513 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: restored vout_CopyPicture(). It is
514 needed by the directx plugin damnit ;-)
515 * ./include/config.h: restored AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION to its old value. It
516 should solve quite a few underrun problems.
517 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: a little bit of DirectX plugin clean-up.
518 * ./ipkg/control: added more information in ipkg control file.
519 * ./include/modules_inner.h: the module name is now a default shortcut, for
520 it, no need to manually add it.
521 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c, ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: when in fullscreen
522 mode, the Esc key does not quit immediately, but first escapes from
523 fullscreen mode. User-requested feature.
524 * ./include/os_specific.h: fixed a C++ compilation issue.
525 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: removed the main() declaration because SDL
526 defines it as a macro.
527 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: with some broken avi files, will not freeze, and
528 try to detect end of file.
529 * ./include/threads_func.h: moved the function definitions from threads.h
530 into threads_funcs.h. This allows us to move p_main_sys into p_main
532 * ./configure.in: fixed the --with-gtk-config-path and --with-sdl-config-path
534 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: seek is faster.
535 * ./configure.in: fixed a typo in libdvbpsi handling.
536 * ./plugins/vcd/cdrom_tools: FreeBSD 4.5 port of the vcd input.
537 * ./INSTALL.win32: updated win32 compilation instructions.
538 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: fixed --program option.
539 * ./include/common.h: fixed vlc_memalign.
540 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: now it can play broken files with seek enabled but
541 it's very slow (will be fixed soon).
542 * ./src/misc/beos_specific.c: added system_Configure(). Sorry O:-)
543 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: a video divx ES will no longer be considered
544 as an audio ES (thanks sam).
545 * ./src/misc/darwin_specific.c: added system_Configure().
546 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: cleaned up QTScaleMatrix().
547 * ./plugins/macosx/*: A/V sync should be much more precise.
548 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_qdview.c: borders in fullscreen mode are now black
549 and the movie is centered.
550 * ./extras/MacOSX/vlc.pbproj/project.pbxproj: new creator ID: VLC#.
551 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: exported input_ClockManageRef for fenrir.
552 * ./include/video.h: moved vout_CopyPicture out of the way, an inline
553 function did not make sense here.
554 * ./include/video.h: moved vout_ChromaCmp out of the way.
555 * ./plugins/avi/fourcc.h, ./include/video.h: merged these two files into
557 * ./include/os_specific.h: this file is now always included.
558 * ./include/debug.h: removed this file which was almost useless, and moved
560 * ./include/common.h: fixed vlc_memalign and changed its prototype to
561 follow posix_memalign's.
562 * ./configure.in: dropped usage of $withval and $enableval in favor of the
563 safer variants $with_foo and $enable_foo.
564 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: will not segfault when no audio is found/supported.
565 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: with empty frame(data_packet) it won't segfault.
566 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: use KeyFrame to seek, so video will not be bad as
568 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: moved Program Specific Information
569 decoder to the ts demux module.
570 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/Makefile: added a mpeg_ts_dvbpsi module tha uses
571 libdvbpsi to decode PSIs. It is used by default if the lib is found. It
572 shares much code with mpeg_ts.
573 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed typo. You have to double click on
574 the video window to switch to fullscreen.
575 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: on Win32 the config file is now stored under
576 the "Application Data" folder belonging to the user. (this works if at
577 least IE4 is installed, otherwise the old method is used to get the
579 * ./configure.in: fixed MacOS X module linking problem.
580 * ./src/interface/main.c: we no longer segfault if argc == 0.
581 * ALL: renamed PLUGINS to __PLUGINS__ to avoid conflicts with libraries
583 * ./src/input/input_ext-plugins.c: cosmetic change.
584 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/*: use of _M to avoid conflict with libavcodec.a.
585 * ./plugins/avi/*: a light AVI demux.
586 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/*: a video decoder for divx v3 and opendivx.
587 * ./plugins/win32/preferences.cpp: fixed a compilation bug
588 * ./plugins/avi, ./plugins/ffmpeg: created empty directories for fenrir's
590 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: fixed the spu decoder to take the pitch
591 of the destination picture into account when rendering the subtitles
592 (Implemented only for the YUV modes).
593 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed the mouse autohidding feature in
594 the DirectX plugin (at least partially).
595 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: fixed the DirectX video output for
596 non-overlay modes. It was only working in RGB16 before.
597 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: DirectX video output plugin now uses
598 triple buffering for YUV overlay. This improves the video quality a lot
599 (no tearing) without affecting performance. (I knew double buffering
600 sucked but I just discovered why triple buffering is better: you don't
601 have to wait for the vsync to flip the buffers).
602 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c, ./plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c: temporary fix
603 to avoid retrieving the spu palette from a network stream as if it was
605 * ./src/interface/main.c: tidied the help output code.
606 * ALL: removed underscores from option names and made a few options more
607 self-explanatory, for instance --input_channel becomes --audio-channel;
608 run vlc -H to see what has changed.
609 * ALL: replaced many occurences of "plugin" with the word "module".
610 * ./src/interface/main.c: moved all satellite-specific configuration options
611 to the satellite plugin.
612 * ./po/*: updated translations.
613 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.h: optimized the 420 planar-to-packed chroma
614 transformations. They're now PIC-friendly as well.
615 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_open.c: added Open disc and network panels.
616 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_controller.c: some changes to the control layout.
617 * ./src/interface/main.c: i_warning_level is set to 0 to avoid unwanted
619 * ./po/en_GB.po: British translation.
620 * ./src/interface/main.c, ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed the warning_level
621 handling: "-v" and "--warning" are now working as they should and they also
622 are cumulative (using -vv --warning=3 you end up with i_warning_level=5).
623 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: support for short options. -V, -A, -I
624 are back, and we also have -4 and -6 for IPv4/IPv6.
625 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: added config_GetFloatVariable() and
626 config_PutFloatVariable() to the config module.
627 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: added a --zoom <float> config option.
628 * ./plugins/idct/idct_sparse.c: added a call to RestoreCPUState() in
629 InitIDCT() so that the FPU is still available after a call to InitIDCT().
630 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: deactivated stream buffering when logging to a
632 * ./po/*: re-ran make update-po, fixed a few translations.
633 * ./po/fr.po: completed the french translation.
634 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade, ./plugins/gtk/gnome.glade: synchronized a few
635 strings between the Gtk+ and GNOME modules to avoid duplicate translations.
636 * ./po/de.po: updated german translation. Many thanks to Thomas Graf.
637 * ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml: URL & mailing-lists corrections.
638 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: the last category from the config options
640 * po/nl.po: updated Netherlands translation of interface.
641 * po/fr.po: completed french translations.
642 * ALL: internationalized all configuration strings.
643 * ./src/interface/main.c: we now set LC_CTYPE to get the right charset.
644 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: lots of simplifications in the code.
645 * ./po/vlc/pot: updated translations.
648 Thu, 18 Apr 2002 06:43:42 +0200
650 * ./vlc.spec: fixed build dependencies.
651 * ./configure.in: when -lintl is available, we now also link plugins with it.

655 * ./vlc.spec: imported Mandrakesoft's latest enhancements.
656 * ./configure.in, ./plugins/network/ipv6.c: support for the GNU glibc
657 extension gethostbyname2(), thanks to Thomas Graf.
658 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: finally fixed MacOS X aspect ratio. If you
659 know how to center the picture in the screen, and make the remaining space
660 black instead of white, PLEASE drop me a mail!
661 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: in TS demux, a program is selected only if a
662 PMT for it was found. This should fix the problem that occured when reading
663 a file directly extracted from a satellite card.
664 * ./plugins/access/udp.c: UDP access plugin uses input_SetProgram.
665 * ./AUTHORS: added people locations, just for fun.
666 * ./configure.in: disabled SSE plugins when using mingw32.
667 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: disabled the AltiVec warning message on the
668 PowerPC platform because it was misleading.
669 * ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: have dvdread plug-in respond to dvd: URLs.
670 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_macosx.c: MacOS X interface shouldn't take as much
672 * ./plugins/motion/motionaltivec.c: fixed a bug in AltiVec-enabled MC (thanks
674 * ./plugins/memcpy/memcpyaltivec.c: fixed a case of segfault in AltiVec-
676 * ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml: big update of Henri's howto.

680 * ./src/interface/main.c: added options to configure antenna (sat_lnb_lof1,
681 sat_lnb_lof2, sat_lnb_slof and sat_diseqc). They only appear if satellite
683 * ./plugins/satellite/input_satellite.c: fixed a few bugs in satellite
684 input (device was not closed in every failure case, symbol rate limits
685 in gnome interface were wrong).
686 * ./plugins/gtk/*: added FEC choice in command line, gtk and gnome
687 interfaces. Command line is now satellite:<frequency(Hz)>,
688 <polarization(0=V,1=H)>,<fec(1=1/2,2=2/3...)>,<symbol rate(kbyte/s)>
689 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: implemented a fix for nVidia overlays
691 * ./Makefile: fixed the Win32 interface under Win2k/XP.
692 * ./src/misc/modules_plugins.h: implemented a dlerror()-like wrapper
694 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ps.c: fixed another bug in PS demux: the first
695 program added was at the same time declared as the current program and as
696 a new program, which made the ES be selected two times.
697 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed a bug in input_SetProgram, that made
698 the ps file input launch without video.
699 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: fixed code to close vout window, does not
701 * ./po/fr.po: french translation update

706 * ./plugins/aa/aa.c: we now parse the AAOPTS environment variable.
707 * ./plugins/aa/aa.c: a few simplifications in the code.
708 * ./src/input/input.c: made file access plugin use input_SetProgram so that
709 we may change program when reading a file.
710 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed a bug in input_SetProgram.
711 * ./src/interface/main.c: added --input_program <int> option, to choose the
712 program from the command line.

720 * ./src/misc/modules_plugins.h: implemented a dlerror()-like wrapper
722 * ./configure.in: wrote a better test for libdvdread detection.
723 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade: added lines this #@%$! Glade had munched, fixes
724 a segfault in the Gtk+ popup menu when toggling the interface.
725 * ./plugins/motion/motion.c: fixed a compilation issue on compilers which
726 do not accept empty macro arguments.
729 Sat, 6 Apr 2002 04:27:50 +0200
731 * ./doc/release-howto.txt: updated documentation.
732 * ./vlc.spec: added missing plugin filenames to the build process.

737 * ./plugins/text/ncurses.c: fixed compilation of the ncurses plugin.
738 * ./vlc.spec: updated specfile.
739 * ./Makefile, ./configure.in: misc BeOS build fixes.
740 * ./plugins/win32/win32.cpp: fixed `--intf intfwin' which wasn't working.
741 * ./Makefile: we don't include the Gtk+ and SDL DLLs in the win32 package
742 anymore, the package is now 700k instead of 4MB.
743 * ./configure.in, ./Makefile, ./Makefile.opts.in: replaced LIB_FOO with
744 foo_LDFLAGS and CFLAGS_BAR with bar_CFLAGS for faster builds, and moved a
745 lot of stuff from Makefile.opts.in back to configure.in.
746 * ./install-win32: updated script for NSIS 1.96.
747 * ./configure.in: added --enable-intfwin to enable the win32 interface and
748 --with-bcbuilder to tell make where to find Borland C++ Builder.
749 * ./plugins/win32/intfwin.bpr: we now build intfwin.so at the right place.
750 * ./plugins/win32/Makefile: intfwin.so can be built using commandline.
751 * ./configure.in, ./include/threads.h, ./include/common.h: a custom defs.h
752 file isn't needed for the intfwin plugin anymore.
753 * ./INSTALL.win32: updated compilation instructions for the intfwin plugin.
754 * ./AUTHORS: added ipkiss.
755 * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: disabled the "hide interface" menu
756 item, not yet implemented.
757 * ./plugins/win32/about.dfm: replaced the outdated author list with a
758 "VideoLAN Team" entry.
759 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade, plugins/gtk/gnome.glade, ./plugins/kde/kde.cpp:
760 replaced the outdated author list with a "VideoLAN Team" entry.
761 * ./debian/rules, ./debian/control: deactivated the vlc-kde package because
762 it does not work, and removed the vlc-a52 package because liba52 is
763 statically linked into vlc.
764 * ./debian/control: added more helpful package descriptions.
765 * ALL: changed version to 0.3.0. Yeah, it's coming.
766 * ./Makefile: fixed make dist.
767 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a vout4 image starvation bug.
768 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: we look for libdvdcss.so.2 as well as -.so.1.
769 * ./configure.in: BSD/OS fixes thanks to Steven M. Schultz.
770 * ./Makefile: renamed the `snapshot' rule to `dist'.
771 * ./Makefile: removed the `snapshot-nocss' rule which isn't needed anymore.
772 * ./Makefile.modules: modules now depend on Makefile.opts.
773 * ./configure.in: added (hopefully) explicit messages on how to get
774 libdvdcss and link vlc with it.
775 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: removed inclusion of dvd_udf.h.
776 * ./plugins/win32/*: Added management for secondary config dialogs
777 * ./plugins/ogg/*: added preliminary files for an Ogg/Vorbis decoder a
778 contributor is currently working on.

780 * ALL: removed libdvdread from the vlc tree.
781 * ./acconfig.h: removed this file.

783 * ./AUTHORS: moved a few gentlemen to the libdvdcss AUTHORS file.
784 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: use the dvd_device config option.
785 * ./po/ja.po: added Japanese translation from Fumio Nakayama
786 <endymion@ca2.so-net.ne.jp>.
787 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: fixed disc ejection code.
788 * ./include/threads.h: new pthread implementation for WinNT/2K/XP. This
789 implementation shouldn't be subject to race conditions as it is using
790 SignalObjectAndWait() from the Win32 API. As this should be somehow slower
791 than the old method (still used on Win9x), you can specify that you want
792 to use the old method with the "fast_pthread" config option.
793 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: added a new p_main_sys global variable. This
794 variable is a pointer to an OS specific structure which is defined in
795 *_specific.h. This structure can be filled by the already existing
796 System_Init() function and is a nice way to avoid too many #ifdefs.
797 * ./include/defs.h.in: got rid of the DVD_DEVICE macro. We now use the
798 dvd_device config option. This creates a small memory leak as we don't free
799 the string obtained from config_GetPszVariable, but I think we can live
801 * ./configure.in: the SSE plugins are disabled on the mingw32 build as they
802 don't work (because memalign is not implemented on win32, and malloc only
803 aligns on an 8 bytes boundary).
804 * ./INSTALL.win32: fixed a small mistake.
805 * ./include/config.h: fixed config directory name for windows.
806 * ./plugins/win32: the network dialog now respects the preferences settings.
807 * ./src/input/input_ext-plugins.c: compilation fix. :-ppppp
808 * ./plugins/memcpy/fastmemcpy.h: AltiVec-enabled version of fastmemcpy.
809 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: use ImageBuffer instead of ScreenBuffer in
810 OS X video output (should be faster).
811 * ./src/interface/main.c: check that channels have been created before
812 the call to network_ChannelJoin.
813 * ./plugins/win32/*: fixed a few bugs in the preferences.
814 * ./plugins/win32/*: better auto-resizing of the main window.
815 * ./plugins/win32/*: the disc dialog now respects the preferences settings.
816 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: small compilation fix.
817 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: added a test for the nooverlay option.
818 * ./include/config.h: changed directory of the config file for BeOS to be
819 consistant with OS standard.
820 * ./configure.in: BeOS, liba52 and chroma plugin compilation fixes.
821 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: removed a warning.
822 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: Solaris fixes by Meuuh.
823 * ./FAQ: removed outdated stuff.
824 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed yet another bug related to the event
826 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: removed a few debug messages.
827 * ./extras/Win32_msvc/*: Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 6 project files. This
828 is useful mainly for debugging as the hardware accelerated plugins can't
829 be compiled with msvc.
830 * ./plugins/downmix/ac3_downmix_sse.c, ./plugins/downmix/ac3_downmix_3dn.c:
831 Win32 compilation fixes when downmixsse and downmix3dn are declared as
833 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed the waiting on the event thread
834 creation in the directx plugin.
835 * ./Makefile: updated the "package-win32" rule.
836 * ./install-win32: all txt files are now converted to dos format (CRLF).
837 * ./doc/win32/Cross-Compile-Howto.txt: VLC-Win32 Cross-Compile Howto,
838 courtesy of Bill Eldridge.
839 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: improved overlay detection, default colour
841 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: allow the user to resize the configuration
843 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: moved config_GetIntVariable out of the
845 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: you can now set a maximum height for the
846 configuration windows in the gtk and gnome plugins. This patch _doesn't
847 change_ the look of the interface unless this interface tries to use more
848 space than allowed, in which case scrollbars are added to make the
849 navigation easy. Note that this setting only affects the default size the
850 interface will use, the user is then free to change the size of the window
852 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: tooltips are now triggered only in
853 specific places. This is a lot less intrusive and annoying for the users.
854 * ./plugins/win32: fixed the bug on exiting the vout pressing 'q'.
855 * ./plugins/beos/*: implemented an "always-on-top" feature for the interface
856 window, RGB16 Overlay supported again, resizing is now implemented
858 * ./plugins/win32: subtitles should work, now.
859 * ./plugins/access/udp.c: disabled the server argument in udpstream: because
860 it confuses users and is not of any practical use.
861 * ./src/interface/main.c: fix for sparc.
862 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: don't try to stat() the dvd drive letter on
864 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: disabled YUV overlay double buffering for
865 now, as it seems to actually be slower.
866 * ./include/threads.h: temporary fix in vlc_cond_signal() for win32 (I really
867 should use SignalObjectAndWait() on WinNT so we can avoid race conditions
868 in the pthread code). This fixes a problem noticed on WinXP where vlc would
869 freeze regularly and eat-up all the CPU (fun no?).
870 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: when unselecting an ES, we must ged rid of
871 p_es->p_pes so that it is regererated when we select this ES again. It made
872 vlc segfault when switching from some stream to another, or when switching
873 program in satellite input.
874 * ./plugins/access/udp.c: UDP access plug-in can now receive MPTS (Multiple
875 Program TS) and switch programs.
876 * ./plugins/macosx/*: audio and video output go to time-constrained
877 scheduling [OS X port].
878 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: some dirty ifdefs for a nicer gnome
879 interface (gnome buttons, gnome dialogs).
880 * ./po/nl.po: translation of user interface messages to Netherlands.
881 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: new options "gtk_hide_toltips"
882 or "gnome_hide_tooltips". Tooltips are enabled by default. This option is
883 only considered on module initialization.
884 * ./configure.in: GNU make detection.
885 * ./extras/MacOSX/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib/objects.nib: deleted
886 non-working fullscreen menu item [OS X].
887 * ./plugins/access/http.c, ./plugins/access/udp.c: udp and http no longer
888 modify p_input->psz_name.
889 * ALL: various little portability fixes.
890 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: changed the behaviour of the config file:
891 now all the config options are saved. <string> config options which have
892 no default value are also saved in the config file but as an empty string,
893 and config_LoadConfigFile will ignore empty config options, which also
894 means we cannot pass an empty string as a <string> config option. (this
895 shouldn't matter anyway).
896 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: modified the gtk interface to save an
897 empty <string> option as a NULL pointer.
898 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: modified config_LoadConfigFile to consider an
899 empty <string> option as a NULL pointer.
900 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: save button (inadvertently suppressed).
901 * ./plugins/win32: added toolbar icons (thanks xav), we can no longer edit
902 plugin names in the preferences :)
903 * ./plugins/win32: the tool button for playlist is now a toggle button.
904 * ./plugins/beos/InterfaceWindow.cpp: disabled controls if the playlist was
906 * ./plugins/win32/*: added a win32 interface plugin, developed with Borland
907 C++ Builder. To build the plugin, follow the instructions in
909 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: fixed an ugly structure, the tabs are not
910 verticaly expanded as they were, small enhancements.
911 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk_common.h: new
913 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: modifications of some widgets, the
914 structure, cosmetic changes.
915 * ./src/interface/main.c: typos, a couple of new descriptions.
916 * ./src/interface/main.c: moved the "display" option from main to the
917 relevant plugins. ( We now have the x11_display, xvideo_display,
918 xmga_display and ggi_display options ).
919 * ./INSTALL-win32.txt: fixed a little omission.
920 * ./src/plugins/gtk/*: fixed a bug that made vlc segfault when choosing a
921 program, change to another and come back to the first one.
922 * ./src/plugins/gtk/*: added gtk and gnome interfaces for satellite input. We
923 should find a way to hide the button if satellite support is not compiled.
924 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: implemented correct scaling and used new
925 window size variables. Beta always on top for the interface window. New
927 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: fixed a problem in the MacOS X aout which
928 caused the previously played audio frames to be played when there were no
929 new frames available.
930 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: MacOS X vout now uses the height/width
931 calculated in video_output.c.
932 * ./configure.in: Win32 fix.
933 * ./configure.in: miscellaneous fixes for the OS X port.
934 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: the calculation for the initial video
935 window dimensions is now done in video_output.c and made available into
936 p_vout->i_window_height/width. This allows to get rid of duplicated code
937 and unify the behaviour of the video output plugins. (not all the plugins
938 have been modified because I didn't want to break anything).
939 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: moved GetConfigurationFromCmdLine() into
940 configuration.c and renamed it to config_LoadCmdLine().
941 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: config_GetHomeDir doesn't use getpwuid_r
942 anymore as this was creating some problems on solaris. This function now
943 uses getpwuid and is called only once to store the home directory into the
945 * ./plugins/satellite/*: added satellite input. It works with WinTV Nova
946 card, and siemens 0.9.4 drivers from www.linuxtv.org.
947 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: fixed stupid bug in stupid
948 ConvertPrintfFormatString() function.
949 * ./plugins/win32/waveout.c: fixed the "waveout not closing" bug. We need to
950 reset the waveout device before closing it.
951 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: fixed a bus error on UltraSparc.
952 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: Win32 and Solaris compilation fix.
953 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: improved scaling, correct aspect ratio even
954 in full screen mode, duplicate code reduces and framework for Overlay and
955 OpenGL modes in place.
956 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: kludge to allow the ALSA module to be
957 compiled as a plugin. Please test.
958 * ./include/modules.h: fixed a C++ warning.
959 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: VCD raw device fix, courtesy of Steven Schultz.
960 * ./configure.in: better IPv6 detection. IPv6 is disabled under MacOS X (no
962 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed some bugs in program management:
963 selected ESs must be attached to the selected program.
964 * ./plugins/aa: aalib output plugin courtesy of Sigmund Augdal.
965 * ./configure.in: fixed a few bashisms.
966 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed build under Solaris.
967 * ./TODO: updated todo list.
968 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: fixed a memory leak.
969 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_pool.c: fixed a memory leak.
970 * plugins/win32/waveout.c: fixed typo.
971 * ./configure.in: BeOS compilation fixes.
972 * ./debian/rules: activated (broken) KDE interface.
973 * ./plugins/access/http.c: fixed a segfault.
974 * ./plugins/alsa/aout_alsa.c: fixed a segfault.
975 * ./include/common.h: fixed the compilation fix for Borland C++ :)
976 * ./include/common.h: compilation fix for Borland C++.
977 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: MacOS X aout now uses AudioConverter for
979 * ./plugins/macosx/*: Various MacOS X intf improvements and bug fixes.
980 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb8.c: fixed a warning.
981 * ./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: fixed chroma deinterlacing.
982 * ./plugins/kde/kde.cpp: the KDE interface compiles again.
983 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_es.c: fixed a segfault I introduced today.
984 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: cosmetic fix.
985 * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a typo in the --help output.
986 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: fixed a segfault in the vlcs communication; still
987 unstable but solving other bugs won't do any good without rewriting the
988 whole playlist code. Which I'm doing right now.
989 * ./configure.in: MacOS X compile fixes.
990 * ./src/input/input.c: skip "//" if we find "://" in a resource we have to
991 play : this allows us touse the syntax udpstream://host.
992 * ./extras/MacOSX_dvdioctl: removed outdated files.
993 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: fixed an infinite loop error.
994 * ./plugins: fixed segfaults in various demux plugins.
995 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: SDL_VIDEODRIVER can be specified from the
996 command line; try "--vout sdl:aalib"
997 * ./configure.in: fixed linking of the ipv4 plugin.
998 * ./configure.in: DirectX plugin is now correctly detected and configured.
999 * ./BUGS: updated bug list.
1000 * ./configure.in: ./configure --help should be a lot clearer now.
1001 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb8.c: plain C 8 bpp transformation.
1002 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: plain C 24/32 bpp transformations.
1003 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
1004 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
1005 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
1006 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault.
1007 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: added an alternate fullscreen method. With this
1008 method, _nothing_ is allowed to be displayed on top of the video
1009 (especially not taskbars, etc...). Of course this can also be annoying
1010 sometimes, this is why it's an option.
1011 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: small fix for the config file. The parser
1012 assumes that the config file is divided into sections (a section is the
1013 config data for a plugin and begins with something like [foo]), so the
1014 comment for the beginning of the section must be after the section marker
1016 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: tidied code and prevented curruption on
1017 window not containing the video. Video window now returns to correct size
1018 and position after toggling full screen.
1019 * ./configure.in: more modules are plugins.
1020 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: changed ~/.VideoLan/vlc to ~/.videolan/vlcrc,
1021 and a few cosmetic changes (sorry Gildas for the butchery).
1022 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: C version of the I420 to RV15/16 chroma.
1023 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: this the last piece of the new configuration
1024 module. You can now save your configuration options (only from the
1025 gtk/gnome interface for now). The config file will be saved as
1027 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: we now analyze the subtitle image
1028 data to find the border color and the inner colors when there was
1029 no way to find the palette data (network stream).
1030 * ./plugins/mpeg_system: fixed a parsing bug I introduced yesterday.
1031 * ./Makefile: fixed OS X vlc.app compilation dependencies.
1032 * ./configure.in: fixed the endianness check under Solaris.
1033 * ./src/input/input.c: strings are now initialized to "" instead of NULL.
1034 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: we now properly support the subtitle
1035 palette information we get from the DVD. Subtitles rox !
1036 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: removed all DVD-specific routines
1037 and put them into spu_decoder.c.
1038 * ./plugins/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: removed an ugly loop.
1039 * ./plugins/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: moved iec958/spdif encapsulation from
1040 ac3_spdif to aout_spdif. It will eventually allows to use ac3_adec or a52
1042 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: fixed chapter selection at startup.
1043 * ./src/input/input_dec.c: p_es->p_demux_data is available in
1044 p_config->p_demux_data so that the input can pass information directly to
1045 the decoder. First application: aspect ratio for DVD is read from the ifo
1046 (should fix the buf with aspect ratio in anamorphic DVDs).
1047 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c: the DVD plugin also copies the spu yuv palette in
1048 p_demux_data so that the spudec can display subtitle with the right color
1050 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: removed duplicate code and useless lock in gtk.
1051 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed EOF and Stop segfault in VCD input:
1052 input_BuffersEnd was being called twice.
1053 * ./AUTHORS: updated Tony Castley's e-mail.
1054 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: new resizing and scaling code. More in line
1055 with BeOS standards.
1056 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: a52 plugin updated to use liba52-0.7.3 (which is now
1057 available in debian :)
1058 * ./src/interface/main.c: new configuration option to choose audio output
1059 format at runtime. It allows to select spdif pass-through decoder with
1060 --ac3_adec and to remove the ugly b_ac3 in main.h. As a consequence --spdif
1061 doesn't work anymore: you should use --ac3_adec pass.
1062 * ./src/interface/main.c: return the option name in error message for
1063 unknown option intead of the argument.
1064 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: gtk config interface modified so you can
1065 only have one instance of a plugin config dialog box displayed at one time.
1066 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: new GTK configuration interface. This
1067 interface is generated dynamically at run-time from the configuration data
1068 contained in each plugin.
1069 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: config_PutPszVariable and config_GetPszVariable
1070 are now thread safe.
1071 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: few modifications/optimizations to the config
1073 * ./include/config.h: got rid of all the _VAR macros in config.h.
1074 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: added missing include (MacOS X port).
1075 * ./plugins/dvd/*: fixed EOF segfault at end of DVD.
1076 * ./src/input/input.c: buffer manager is renintialised at area change.
1077 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c, ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: we now exit more
1078 cleanly on initialization error.
1079 * ./plugins/dvd/*: rewrote most functions in DVD plugin. Some old bugs might
1080 have been solved in the operation. The plugin some be more readable now,
1081 and should produce fewaer segfaults (I hope so :p)
1082 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: added some tests in open.
1083 * ./plugins/alsa/aout_alsa.c: spdif support in the ALSA plugin.
1084 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: when reaching the end of a track, moves to the
1086 * ./src/interface/main.c: disabled the GNOME segfault dialog in debug
1087 mode. We want nice, clean segfaults, with huge core files and a lot
1089 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: I hope you liked this bug: DVD demux was always used.
1090 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_demux.c: fixed demux plugin selection.
1091 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: take the lock on stream in VCDInit. Please
1092 test, as I don't have any VCD to do it.
1093 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_parse.c: ac3dec is now less verbose.
1094 * ./src/interface/interface.c: fixed a deadlock when seeking the
1095 stream using the keyboard arrows.
1096 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_display.c: removed an occurance of former angle item in
1098 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: fixed a bug
1099 in ES management introduced lately in DVD/DvdRead.
1100 * ./plugins/dvd/*: beginning of reorganisation in DVD plugin source files,
1101 in order to try to make it easier to understand. There is some work left
1103 * ./plugins/vcd/vcd.c: decreased the score for VCD plugin, as the VCD demuxer
1104 was used even for DVD :p. It should make autodetection work.
1105 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: modified vcd input for the new input III. Still
1106 have problems with end of tracks.
1107 * ./plugins/vcd/vcd.c: modified the command line, as stef did for the DVD.
1108 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: DVD demux was no longer selected under win32.
1109 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: DVD angle
1110 is now handled through a program structure, so that the interface needs
1111 nothing specific to change angle.
1112 * ./src/input/input_clock.c: fixed a bug in clock management where ES without
1113 a program couldn't get timestamped.
1114 * ./plugins/gtk/*: fixed program management in gnome/gtk. Program now also
1116 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: in interface, only display ES associated with
1117 the selected program, or with no program at all.
1118 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed typo in the win32 change to the input parser.
1119 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: more complete
1120 command line parsing for DVD, hopefully working this time.
1121 * ./plugins/network/ipv6.c: IPv6 network module, courtesy of Alexis Guillard
1122 <alexis.guillard@bt.com>, for BT.
1123 * ./src/interface/main.c: --6 and --4 options to force IPv6 or IPv4 (FIXME:
1124 it should be -6 and -4 but I don't know how to do it with the new
1125 configuration module).
1126 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: channel manager now uses a socket from the network
1127 plug-in and is more portable (and probably broken, too :)
1128 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ps.c, ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c:
1129 input_ReadPS and input_ReadTS are now in mpeg_system.c to be more easily
1130 reused by plug-ins other than mpeg_ps and mpeg_ts.
1131 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: we now make sure the aout plugin buffers
1132 always contain between AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION/2 and AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION*3/2
1133 worth of audio. This should solve the audio buffer underruns.
1134 * ./src/input/input.c: fix for the bug in input when filename contains a '@'
1136 * ./src/input/input.c: simplified the win32 specific changes to the input
1137 parser. (I think we can safely assume that no access plugin name will have
1138 a length of one character).
1139 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: DVD access plugin is only called if specified under
1140 windows (no automatic detection).
1141 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: replaced setenv with putenv.
1142 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_open.c: fixed a bug in gtk.
1143 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: new command line for DVD, to get rid of global
1144 options input_title or so.
1145 * ./Makefile: added network to the list of the plugins directories.
1146 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: fixed DVD input under Win32.
1147 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed input parser under win32, which couldn't
1148 understand that c:\windows\bureau is a valid file and doesn't need to be
1149 accessed with the plugin 'C' :-)
1150 * ./AUTHORS: added xav.
1151 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: got rid of int_types.h and did a few changes
1152 Ipkiss will need. Hope I did not break other platforms.
1153 * ./include/common.h: fixed compilation problem related to ssize_t.
1154 * ./include/common.h: various Win32 compilation fixes.
1155 * ./include/input_ext-plugins.h: DVD compiles, but doesn't work yet.
1156 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: fixed some typos in my previous Win32 multicast
1158 * ./plugins/dummy/input_dummy.c: fixed `vlc vlc:quit'.
1159 * ./src/input/input.c: initialized uninitialized variables.
1160 * ./src/input/input.c: initialize p_access_module & p_demux_modules to NULL
1161 when input thread is created.
1162 * ./po/no.po: Norwegian translation by Sigmund Augdal. Berdå ka pø tüt.
1163 * ./src/misc/modules.c: shortcuts for --intf work again, gvlc launches the
1164 Gtk interface, qvlc launches the Qt interface, etc.
1165 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: we now have sound together with --aout scope.
1166 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: removed numerous
1168 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: multicast under Win32 now works with the new
1170 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: dvd and dvdread support
1172 * ./src/input/*, ./plugins/network/*, ./plugins/access/*: Input III
1173 (Episode 1). Major rewrite of the buffer core functions, modularity of
1174 access plugins (file, udp, http), modularity of network stack (ipv4, soon
1175 ipv6), autodetection of the type of stream.
1176 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_headers.c: we no longer crash when the next
1177 stream doesn't have the same image size as the previous one.
1178 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c: another overrun fix; please test.
1179 * ./configure.in: fixed a plugins/dsp.so compilation issue under OpenBSD.
1180 * ./plugins/dsp/aout_dsp.c: OpenBSD compilation fix.
1181 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault on exit.
1182 * ./src/input/input.c: BeOS network support (no idea if it works when you
1183 don't have BONE, though).
1184 * ./include/common.h: BeOS compile fixes.
1185 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: fixed BeOS video output.
1186 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed uninitialized variable in
1188 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: char pointers obtained by
1189 config_GetPszVariable need to be freed.
1190 * ./src/interface/main.c: forgot to add the declaration of server_port.
1191 * ./src/input/input.c: multicast now works under Win32, but this is a _bad_
1193 * ./include/threads.h: support for the State Threads Library, a userland
1194 threads library (http://state-threads.sourceforge.net/). Useless to most
1195 people, but can be handy to debug stuff. Activate with `--enable-st'.
1196 * ./plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c,
1197 ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: adaptation to new configuration scheme for dvd,
1199 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: removed CVS garbage.
1200 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: fixed a compile issue on IA64.
1201 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: new toy plugin, an audio scope module.
1202 * ./src/audio_output/aout_spdif.h: replacement header for aout_common.h.
1203 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: fixed a quite old bug in the audio
1204 output which made the sound stutter when wrapping around the audio output
1206 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: lots of simplifications in the audio
1207 output, got rid of b_stereo.
1208 * ./plugins/gtk/*: added a menu in the GTK and gnome interfaces to change
1209 the current program in multi-program streams (such as ones provided by a
1211 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: new configuration architecture for vlc.
1212 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: fixed array over-run bug in intf_MsgUnsub.
1213 * ./configure.in: don't try to grok altivec with mingw32.
1214 * ./configure.in: --with-directx-path should now indicate the path where the
1215 actual headers are (before the headers had to be in an include subdir). By
1216 the way you can download these header files from the videolan web site.
1217 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: if symbol foo isn't found in the
1218 plugin, we always try to open _foo, whatever the architecture.
1219 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: non-blocking patch from Sigmund Augdal
1220 <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>; hope this time my enhancements don't break
1222 * ./configure.in: gtk*-config detection fix for FreeBSD.
1223 * ./configure.in: removed a bashism.
1224 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for systems without shm.h.
1225 * ALL: QNX compilation fixes here and there; the qnx plugin still doesn't
1227 * ./Makefile: the win32 port now uses a more recent version of gtk+.
1228 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: the log window is now black with colourful text.
1229 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c: ported the log window to the GNOME interface.
1230 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: messages are sent to the queue even if
1231 -vvvv* wasn't specified.
1232 * ./plugins/vcd/cdrom_tools.c: MacOS X VCD support.
1233 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.: various fixes, thanks to Sigmund Augdal.
1234 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: rewrote an ugly loop.
1235 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: added a Gtk+ window containing all the log
1236 messages; updated in real time. To open it, go to "view"->"messages".
1237 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: got rid of TRACE and intf_DbgMsg which were
1239 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: all intf_*Msg functions now write to stderr.
1240 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: implemented a message queue interface plugins
1242 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: wrote the logger interface plugin. Usage:
1243 vlc -I logger:filename.log.
1244 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: lots of fixes in the SPU renderer.
1245 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a typo in aspect ratio
1247 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: MacOS X vout improvements.
1248 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_macosx.c: MacOS X intf now returns, allowing vlc to
1250 * ./Makefile: added a new make target: package-macosx.
1251 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: Win32 compilation fixes (mingw includes
1253 * ./configure.in: configure now checks for ddraw.h and not directx.h.
1254 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: don't include directx.h anymore (this
1255 file isn't part of the directx sdk).
1256 * ./plugins/waveout/waveout.c: moved all the stuff from aout_waveout.c
1257 directly into waveout.c (I don't know what I was thinking about when I
1258 created these two files ;-)
1259 * ./plugins/waveout/waveout.c: until we fix the audio buffer underrun
1260 problem, waveout will be the default audio output on win32 (instead of
1262 * ALL: got rid of *_Probe functions because most of them were duplicates
1263 of the real _Init or _Create functions. That's 1000 lines of code gained.
1264 * ./src/misc/modules.c: we try not to keep the global lock in module_Need,
1265 which should speed up output spawning.
1266 * ./plugins/dummy/input_dummy.c: fixed vlc:quit command.
1267 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: compilation fix.
1268 * ./plugins/macosx/*: preliminary fixes for the vout4 port.
1269 * ./plugins/gtk/*: Win32 fixes.
1270 * ./plugins/beos/*: BeOS fixes from Rudolf Cornelissen.
1271 * ./src/interface/main.c: --desync now really accepts a value in ms.
1272 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed a crash when not opening a VCD.
1273 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: fixed subtitles under BeOS and
1274 other architectures which don't support overlay.
1275 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: compilation fix (include stdint.h).
1276 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: fixed a SEGV.
1277 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: ported the BeOS RGB video output to
1278 vout4. The overlay video output still needs to be written though.
1279 * ./plugins/a52/*: just renamed the liba52_adec plugin into a52 to comply
1280 with the naming convention used by the other plugins.
1281 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: IR remote control plugin by Sigmund Augdal
1282 <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>, activate with --enable-lirc.
1283 * ./configure.in: put liba52_adec in a builtin for PIC/non-PIC reasons.
1284 * ./plugins/liba52_adec/*: new AC3 decoder plugin using liba52 from Aaron
1285 Holtzman and Michel Lespinasse. This plugin isn't used by default, you
1286 have to specify: --ac3_adec liba52.
1287 * ./src/misc/modules.c: changed module_Need to make it possible to
1288 have several modules with the same shortcut name.
1289 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_open.c: fixed a bug in the network dialog.
1290 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: added mstrtime() to module_symbols_t so we
1291 can compile the mpeg_vdec plugin with TRACE mode enabled.
1292 * ./plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c: fixed ac3_spdif which has been broken
1294 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: check frequency in ac3_adec and change fifo
1296 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: moved initialisation of p_aout from
1297 plugins to audio_output.c; if audio output rate is specified at launch
1298 time, we try to use it by default.
1299 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: MMX YUV to RGB transformation for 15bpp.
1300 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: added double-buffering for the directx
1301 plugin in overlay mode.
1302 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: several directx bug-fixes: implemented
1303 the right behaviour on exit, fixed bug preventing the creation of several
1304 windows (the wall filter is working now :-)), fixed unnecessary background
1305 redraws (it made the video flicker), fixed bug where we were losing the
1306 video display because of lost surfaces in video memory, when using hardware
1307 overlay, the output window will now specify "(using hardware overlay)".
1308 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: we don't use DPMS functions if they are
1310 * ./plugins/win32/waveout.c: added a new very simple audio plugin for
1311 Win32. This plugin uses the waveOut API which is a lot easier to use for
1312 streaming stuff than directsound. (you don't have to take care of
1313 underflows anymore because it doesn't use circular buffers). If you are
1314 having a lot of underflows, this plugin is currently better adapted than
1316 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: moved some initialization stuff in
1317 audio_out.c so we can know the caracteristics of the audio stream before
1318 calling aout_Open().
1319 * ./configure.in, Makefile: configure and Makefile tweaking for dvdread
1321 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: fixed a missing function initialization
1322 which made decoder plugins segfault in GetChunk calls.
1323 * ./configure.in: proper soundcard.h check from Yves Duret.
1324 * ./plugins/mpeg_adec/mpeg_adec.c: enabled --stereo option for streams that
1325 pretend to be mono while they are not.
1326 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: fixed an alignment issue in the ac3 decoder.
1327 * ./src/input/input_dec.c: decoders do not necessarily use bit stream (see
1329 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: mad PTS should finally be accurate.
1330 * ./configure.in: some configure changes.
1331 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: libmad_input now takes one frame at a time (see
1332 mad_adec.h for defines)
1333 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: audio_linear_dither() gives better sound
1334 quality then s24_to_s16_pcm(), but also makes audio artefacts louder so
1335 disabled it for now.
1336 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: cleaned up libmad_output.
1337 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: cleaned up InitThread.
1338 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.h: made buffer size match libmad's expectations.
1339 * ./plugins/mad/DESIGN: updated documentation.
1340 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed crashes on exit in the directx
1342 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: vout_PlacePicture is now accepting
1343 picture width=height=0.
1344 * ./configure.in: added extra checks for strange compilers such as
1345 Borland C++ which do not support all gcc options. Note that vlc does
1346 not compile with bcc32 yet, but is getting closer and closer to.
1347 * ./plugins/win32: skeleton for the win32 interface Ipkiss is developing.
1348 * ./config.guess ./config.sub: latest GNU versions.
1349 * ./configure.in: when possible, xvideo is compiled as a plugin.
1350 * ./vlc.spec: fixed a few minor inaccuracies.
1351 * ./debian/control: vlc-gui is no longer depended on, but rather recommended.
1352 * ./src/interface/main.c: --spumargin flag; use this to force displaying
1353 subtitles at the bottom of the screen instead of putting them in the
1354 middle, for instance: `--spumargin 5'.
1355 * ./plugins/qnx/qnx.c, ./plugins/macosx/macosx.c, ./plugins/beos/beos.cpp:
1356 converted the plugin initialization code of the macosx, beos and qnx
1357 code. (please note that they should still not compile as they need
1358 to be adapted to the new Vout4 architecture)
1359 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: major rewrite of the directx video
1360 plugin to adapt it to the new vout4 architecture. This plugin has also
1361 been through a major clean-up and it is now much more robust and optimized.
1362 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: fixed a few problems with the win32 build.
1363 * ./src/interface/main.c: replaced the "overlay" command line option with
1364 "nooverlay". The former was confusing and useless because overlays were
1365 used by default anyway.
1366 * ./vlc.spec: imported MandrakeSoft's new spec file.
1367 * ./debian/control: fixed build-dependencies for vlc-mad.
1368 * ./debian/rules: fixed the vlc-arts and vlc-mad package builds.
1369 * ./plugins/gtk/{gtk|gnome}.c: the gnome/gtk interface should no longer use
1370 p_input->stream before it has been initialized.
1371 * ./src/input/input.c: stream lock is initialized in input_CreateThread
1372 instead of initThread, to have it initialized when we call it in the
1374 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: added support for S8 and U16 aout.
1375 * ./debian/control: fixed Debian build-depends.
1376 * ./include/config.h: changed RELEASE to HAVE_RELEASE because RELEASE
1377 is already defined in <scsi/scsi.h> under Linux.
1378 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: fixed issues in the PTS handling of the mad
1379 plug-in (incomplete).
1380 * ./src/input/input_ext-dec.c: more precise way to retrieve a PTS from the
1382 * ./INSTALL.libmad: configure, build and install instructions for libmad
1383 library and mad plugin.
1384 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: smooth sound (not tested on iPaq).
1385 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.c: le coup de grâce: all the code in audio
1386 output is now factorized (except for ac3 spdif) in aout_common.c/.h.
1387 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.h: aout thread functions are declared with
1389 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: HUGE cleanings in audio output: removed
1390 AOUT_INTF_*_FIFO, which where not used.
1391 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.c: factored S16StereoPlay, U8MonoPlay, and
1392 so on.., in a single function aout_FillBuffer (unsigned 8bit may be broken,
1393 but I have no stream to test with :(
1394 * ./configure.in: a few fixes for the Win32 build.
1395 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed all the problems related to
1397 * ./src/misc/modules.c: fixed a compile issue under platforms without
1398 HAVE_DYNAMIC_PLUGINS.
1399 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: MacOS X port.
1400 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: 24/32 bpp software YUV.
1401 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: activated double buffering.
1402 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: we create more Xv pictures to
1403 get smoother rendering.
1404 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: removed aout_CreateFifo from mad_adec.c
1405 InitThread() and added it to mad_libmad.c.
1406 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: BSD compilation fix suggested by Steven M.
1408 * ./src/audio_output/aout_s16.c: beginning of code factorization in
1409 aout_s16 (more cleaning will come). As for libmad, I have tried to create
1410 the aout fifo in libmad_output, to open it with the right sample rate, but
1411 strangely it didn't work.
1412 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed a few segfaults caused by the dummy plugin.
1413 * ./plugins/mpeg_adec/mpeg_adec.c: fixed a segfault due to misuse of
1415 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: replaced XFlush with XSync. This must be the
1416 fourth time someone has to commit this, so I added a reminder :-)
1417 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/input_ts.c: hopefully fixed a bug in TS input, that
1418 caused a segfault when there was no network stream.
1419 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: BSD/OS port by Steven M. Schultz.
1420 * ./include/modules_inner.h: replaced _X with __VLC_SYMBOL because _X was
1421 already a system macro under MacOS X.
1422 * ./plugins/dummy/dummy.c: fixed vlc:loop, vlc:quit, etc. entries.
1423 * ./plugins/glide/glide.c: activated double buffering.
1424 * ./plugins/mga/xmga.c: started writing an xmga plugin; doesn't work yet.
1425 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed the input memory leak, and the insane thread
1426 spawning we got with vlc:loop.
1427 * ./src/misc/intf_eject.c: disc ejection routine courtesy of Julien Blache,
1428 currently Linux-only.
1429 * ./src/audio_output/aout_ext-dec.c: better communication between audio
1430 decoder and output: aout plugins are now opened directly in the right
1431 mode (works with mpeg_adec and ac3_adec, not tested with mad).
1432 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: first attempt to implement mono output
1434 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: DVDRead plugins works again more or
1435 less ; major bugs remain but it is usable. It is selected by default if
1436 you have it compiled.
1437 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_headers.c: fixed a bug in QuantMatrixExtension,
1438 many thanks to "Thomas L. Wood" <twood@lucent.com> !
1439 * ./debian/control: updated list of supported architectures.
1440 * ./share/*: added 16x16 and 32x32 versions of PNG icons.
1441 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: removed the mgammx module and put the code in
1442 the chroma_i420_ymga module instead. This introduces a slight
1443 performance issue as we now need to memcpy() the Y plane, but I have
1444 some vout4 enhancements on their way which make this point moot.
1445 * ./debian/changelog: imported official Debian changelog.
1446 * ./debian/control: activated the vlc-mad and vlc-arts packages; package
1447 builds should now work again.
1448 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: solved a symbol resolution issue when vlc was
1449 compiled without libdvdcss which overflowed the return stack.
1450 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: ported the GGI plugin to vout4.
1451 * ./plugins/glide/glide.c: ported the Glide plugin to vout4 (untested).
1452 * ./src/input/input.c: prepared everything for multi-input mode; since
1453 no interface is yet prepared to handle this, I changed them so that
1454 they just use the first available input for now. This may break other
1455 things, but I promise I'll eventually repair everything :-)
1456 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: pipeline and cache optimizations.
1457 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: MMX-accelerated version of the MGA plugin.
1458 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/Makefile: little workaround for PA-Risc compilation.
1459 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: optimized libmad_output() for smoother sound.
1460 It is still not optimal.
1461 * ./plugins/fb/fb.c: ported the framebuffer video output to vout4.
1462 * ./src/audio_output/aout_s16.c: fixed a segfault. It may have unexpected
1463 side effects because I don't know this part of the code, but at least
1464 it doesn't crash anymore.
1465 * ./plugins/beos/beos.cpp: first attempt at porting the BeOS plugin to the
1466 new video output and module systems. Doesn't work nor even compile yet.
1467 * ./configure.in: we now check the gtk-config version.
1468 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: we use the MGA_VID_FSEL ioctl to select the
1469 frame to be displayed. Unfortunately, increasing the number of
1470 frames doesn't seem to work and makes the picture stutter...
1471 * ./Makefile: fixed a bug when no builtins were selected.
1472 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: ported the MGA video output to vout4. Only does YV12
1473 for the moment, and there is a strange bug with some streams which gives
1474 only a green image. Needs to be looked at.
1475 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed a few typos.
1476 * ./plugins/mad/DESIGN: updated documentation.
1477 * ./plugins/mad/TODO: updated TODO list.
1478 * ./plugins/mad/BUGS: updated documentation.
1479 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.h: removed unused prototype from headerfile.
1480 * ./configure.in: fix for obscure architectures like hppa where target_os
1481 isn't properly detected.
1482 * ./include/video_output.h: got rid of pf_setpalette; I'll find a nicer way.
1483 * ./plugins/mga.c: fixed MGA module compilation. Doesn't work yet, though.
1484 * ./include/common.h: hton64 is now an inline function.
1485 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c et al.: vout4 now automatically
1486 detects when two chroma formats are the same, such as UYVY/Y422, or
1487 roughly equivalent, such as I420/YV12. Plugins need not worry about
1489 * ./BUGS: added a list of known bugs. Please add your findings!
1490 * ./MODULES: added a short description of each module. Maybe we should
1491 add more details to make this file really useful.
1492 * ./doc/bugreport-howto.txt: wishful thinking...
1493 * ./Makefile: added a workaround for the fact that .c files don't depend
1494 on <videolan/vlc.h>.
1495 * ./plugins/memcpy/memcpy.c: all memcpy modules are now built from the same
1497 * ./src/interface/main.c: added the --nommx, --no3dnow, --nommxext, --nosse
1498 and --noaltivec options to vlc.
1499 * ./configure.in: removed the --disable-mmx option, now useless because
1500 of the vlc --no* options.
1501 * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a crash caused by the memcpy module
1502 being released too early.
1503 * ./include/video.h: more vout4 changes, including margin support, more
1504 FOURCC formats recognized, transparent support of identical or almost
1505 identical FOURCC formats.
1506 * ./include/video_output.h: added a vout_Render function to video output
1507 modules which is to be executed before vout_Display.
1508 * ./include/common.h: this header is back.
1509 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed RGB conversion
1510 functions, mostly taken from vout3's yuv functions, but heavily modified
1511 to use FAST_MEMCPY and to handle image dimensions which are not multiples
1512 of 16. Not all functions have been written yet, though.
1513 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed YUV conversion
1514 functions, various targets such as 4:2:2 YUYV, YVYU, UYVY, or 2:1:1 YUYV,
1515 with accelerated MMX versions.
1516 * ./plugins/chroma/i422_yuy2.c: same as i420_yuy2.c but takes planar YUV
1517 4:2:2 pictures in input. With accelerated MMX versions as well. This plugin
1518 makes it possible to display 4:2:2 files on most video cards without the
1519 quality loss of 4:2:0 downsampling.
1520 * ./plugins/filter/*: thanks to the vout_Render function, all filters now
1521 output their data perfectly in sync.
1522 * ./plugins/dvdread/Makefile: fix to prevent unnecessary target rebuilds.
1523 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: support for YV12, UYVY, YUY2 and YVYU overlays.
1524 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for I420, YV12, YUY2 and Y211 overlays.
1525 * ./ChangeLog: imported the 0.2.92 changes, unrolled current CVS changes.
1526 * ./include/config.h et al.: this file is no longer generated.
1527 * ./include/video.h: we use the FOURCC definition of a chroma format to
1528 describe picture types (see http://www.webartz.com/fourcc/).
1529 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: compilation fix by Eyal Lebedinsky.
1530 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the XShm operations order.
1531 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: small optimizations.
1532 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: removed unused code.
1533 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: your old window position and size are now restored
1534 when you come out of fullscreen mode.
1535 * ./plugins/esd/esd.c: fixed detection of the esd plugin.
1536 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/input_ts.c: fixed the ts plugin's input type
1538 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the BadCursor error in the x11 and xvideo
1539 plugins. For real this time (unlike my 2001/08/03 fix :p).
1540 * ./plugins/filter/wall.c: made the wall filter work a bit better. It now
1541 spawns a 3x2 mosaic, but this will eventually be configurable, Ã la
1542 `--filter wall:3x3'.
1543 * ./plugins/arts/arts.c: fixed the aRts audio output plugin.
1544 * ./configure.in: removed duplicate function checks.
1545 * ./Makefile.modules: added extra magic so that the module Makefiles are now
1546 ridiculously simple. And I mean *simple*. Check it! This will make a
1547 possible switch to full autoconf/automake a lot easier.
1548 * ./include/modules_inner.h: added the vlc version name to the plugin
1549 symbols, to be sure we only load plugins with the same version number. A
1550 nasty consequence is that you need to rebuild your tree after midnight if
1551 you are using a CVS tree :-)
1552 * ./include/modules_export.h: got rid of modules_export.h by #defining
1553 exported functions in the same header as their prototype.
1554 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: added modules_inner.h and other commonly used .h
1555 files to common.h so there are less and less files to include, and renamed
1556 common.h to <videolan/vlc.h>.
1557 * ./src/misc/tests.c: first modifications to the module handling system
1558 towards my ultimate goal to get rid of the *_Probe functions. Got rid of
1559 TestMethod and TestCPU, as well as src/misc/tests.c.
1560 * ./plugins/chroma/yv12_rgb8.c, ./plugins/chroma/yv12_rgb16.c: wrote the
1561 chroma plugin handling functions. No YUV functions have been ported yet
1562 because it'ls a lot of work, but the core system works, I tried it with a
1563 naive yv12->rgb16 plugin (which will disappear when the real functions are
1565 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c: made a lot of functions one-liners to avoid
1566 wasting too many output lines.
1567 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: fixed a segfault in DVDInit.
1568 * ./plugins/gtk/fixfiles.sh: Added a fixfiles.sh script to be run after Glade
1569 has generated its C files.
1570 * ./plugins/kde/*: did some work on the KDE interface to make it suck a bit
1571 less. It still segfaults, but at least it runs and it looks less ugly.
1572 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: RGB SDL rendering works again, though in 16bpp
1574 * ./plugins/vcd/linux_cdrom_tools.c: made this file independent of any vlc
1575 structure so that it'll be easily put in a library. Maybe libdvdcss?
1576 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed VCD date display.
1577 * ./plugins/x11/*: merged vout_xvideo.c, vout_x11.c and vout_common.c into
1579 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: wrote non-Shm XVideo output.
1580 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: made X11 output work again. Still pretty unstable,
1581 only works for 16bpp.
1582 * ./po/fr.po: additional french translation. Any taker for the rest?
1583 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault when the allocated
1584 pictures were not direct buffers.
1585 * ./share/*: replaced 48x48 .xpm images with 32x32 ones to conform to Debian
1586 policy (Closes Debian bug #126939).
1587 * ./Makefile: removed the automatic ./configure launch when running
1588 `make all' for the first time.
1589 * ./plugins/filter/distort.c: --filter distort:ripple (Ok, ok, I promise it's
1591 * ./configure.in: fixed compilation with dvdcss disabled.
1592 * ./configure.in: fixed compilation with plugins disabled.
1593 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: removed useless
1594 variables in the VCD and DVD plugins.
1595 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed a function which was returning
1596 "struct foo" in the VCD plugin.
1597 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the old « XVideo eats more and more CPU »
1598 bug I mistakenly reintroduced in my first vout4 commit.
1599 * ./src/misc/modules: we now stop at the first ':' when looking for a module
1600 name, to easily pass information to the modules. Possible example:
1601 --vout sdl:software, implementation of such an option is left as an
1603 * ./plugins/filter/filter.c: merged filter_bob and filter_bob422 into
1604 filter_bob. Use --filter bob to deinterlace 422 into 420 as well.
1605 * ALL: factorized code common to most filters and the video output, optimized
1606 a few filters by aligning data and reading 64 bits at a time.
1607 * ./plugins/filter/transform.c, ./plugins/filter/distort.c: two new
1608 absolutely useless, CPU-eating, resource-wasting, but fun filters: enjoy
1609 `transform', which performs flips and 90° rotations, and `distort', which
1610 performs animated image effects (currently only a naive sine wave is
1611 implemented). Usage examples: --filter transform:hflip,
1612 --filter transform:vflip, --filter transform:90, --filter transform:180,
1613 --filter transform:270, --filter distort:wave.
1614 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: added missing XSync() in the XVideo plugin.
1615 * ./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: pathetic attempt at a 4:2:2 renderer and
1616 deinterlacer, combining the most awful line dropping techniques of both BOB
1617 and 422 to 420 downscaling. Don't worry, it should only survive for a
1619 * ./plugins/filter/wall.c: new stupid plugin: "--filter wall" for split-image
1620 playback :-) (will evolve into a real image wall plugin when I have time)
1621 * ./plugins/filter/bob.c, ./plugins/filter/invert.c: filter plugins. Not very
1622 polished (please don't look at how the dates are calculated!), but worth a
1623 try. Use the following flags: "--filter invert" for inverse video,
1624 "--filter bob" for BOB deinterlacing
1625 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: buffer choice optimizations - vout4
1626 should eat even less CPU now.
1627 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed aspect ratio handling.
1628 * ./src/interface/main.c: additional fixes for OSes with no gettext (thanks
1630 * ./configure.in: don't try to use gettext if we don't have GNU gettext. This
1631 may change in the future though (most GNU software seems to include a local
1632 copy of gettext in case the operating system doesn't provide it).
1633 * ./debian/rules, ./debian/control: added vlc-arts to the debian package
1635 * ./po/ru.po: (very old) russian translation courtesy of Valek Filippov
1637 * ./po/fr.po: fixed a charset issue in the french translation.
1638 * ./config.guess, ./config.sub: updated these files from GNU's latest
1640 * ./po/vlc.pot: added vlc.pot skeleton for translators.
1641 * ./src/interface/intf_channels.c, ./include/keystrokes.h: removed unused
1643 * ./include/common.h: put common_win32.h back into common.h -- it wasn't that
1644 big and we should not multiply header files.
1645 * ./src/interface/main.c: added gettext support by Thomas Graf
1646 <reeler@reeler.org>, may be broken on other platforms but we'll only see
1647 it when I'm finished with vout 4 :-)
1648 * ./src/video_output/*: new video output version 4, featuring direct to YUV
1649 buffer decoding, non-ugly subtitle blending, XVideo and SDL video output.
1650 * ./plugins/spudec/*: renamed spu_dec to spudec and mad_adec to mad to stay
1651 coherent with other plugins. Also, renamed mpeg to mpeg_system.
1652 * ./AUTHORS: added jobi.
1653 * ./plugins/x11/vout_common.c: factored code common to vout_x11.c and
1657 Mon, 31 Dec 2001 19:50:40 +0100
1659 * Added a missing call to DecoderError() in mpeg_adec.c.
1660 * Fixed a segfault in the aRts plugin.
1661 * Fixed a bug in DecoderError.
1662 * Next Generation Buffer Manager.
1663 * All decoders enter DecoderError() in case of error, even if they
1664 haven't allocated all their data. This prevents the input from getting
1665 stuck if a decoder has failed its initialization.
1666 * Backported lool's fix for the Gtk+ playlist crash.
1667 * If $DISPLAY isn't set, don't try to run the Gtk+ interface.

1676 in its window title.
1677 * Added --with-dll-path option for my automated Win32 package builds.
1678 * Initialize SDL before opening the SDL audio output.
1679 * Prevent two SDL video outputs or audio outputs to be spawned at the
1680 same time to avoid ugly crashes.
1681 * TS input: bugfix in DecodePAT and minor optimizations elsewhere.
1682 * TS input: we now check that the contents of the PAT has changed
1683 before updating it, instead of just relying on its version number.
1684 * Disabled broken ALSA audio output. Closes Debian bugs #110869 and #119846.
1685 * Fixed build dependencies on libasound2-dev. Closes Debian bug #121057.
1686 * Changed configure.in so that libXv_pic is used instead of libXv.a when
1687 available. Closes Debian bug #111790.
1688 * CPU detection under BeOS.
1689 * Fixed XVideo port selection.

1697 * Fixed a potential BeOS linking issue.
1698 * Fixed a minor bug in input.c.
1699 * Fixed an issue in Makefile.dep causing to rebuild unnecessary files
1700 in the gtk/gnome plugins.

1710 * Workaround for a bug in the GLIBC dlopen() code.
1711 * Fixed win32 compilation.
1712 * New libmad plug-in, courtesy of Jean-Paul Saman. We now have sound on
1713 iPAQ Familiar Linux.
1714 * Borrowed MPlayer's fast memcpy() routines. Best is autodetected, choose
1715 "--memcpy <whatever>" to choose one from c, mmx, mmxext or 3dn.
1716 * Added versioned build-dep to libasound2-dev (Closes Debian bug #121057).
1717 * Updated Gtk/GNOME interfaces to use "udpstream" instead of "ts".
1718 * More checks for GTK headers.
1719 * Fixed a crash when pausing.

1723 * Hopeless fix for the input netlist corruption bug.
1724 * Implemented simple BDirectWindow (DMA) support.
1725 * DeleteDecoderConfig wasn't freeing (anymore) the packets left in the
1726 decoder fifo. This bug was creating an io_vec starving on title change
1728 * Removed a bug in the Makefile that made the CVS-snapshots building fail.
1729 * Added "#include <string.>" to include/threads.h.
1730 * Removed the mutex the vout and intf thread (were supposed to use)
1731 for syncronizing acces to the p_vout->p_sys structure.
1732 * Added error checking in pthread wrapper; as a result, intf_msg.h must
1733 now be included *before* threads.h.
1734 * Changed all files to include intf_msg.h before threads.h; while I was
1735 at it, I update the copyright notices.
1736 * Removed the obsolete darwin plug-in.
1737 * Fixed a deadlock (bug reported by marcari).

1746 from 12 to 13 (due to change from ts:// to udpstream://)
1747 * Big clean-up to allow compiling every module as plugins.
1748 * Added bytes_swap.h to provide ntoh() and htol() on Win32. With this
1749 change we don't have to link winsock2 with every plugin anymore. This
1750 should also give us a slight speed increase.
1751 * Added #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN in threads.h to speed-up compilation
1753 * Modified ac_downmix_3dn and sse so they compile with the latest gcc for
1755 * Support for libdvdread.
1756 * Added "Video" menu hint to debian/*menu (Closes Debian bug #121036).

1759 * Don`t use long long, use u64/s64 (int_types.h).
1760 * Fixed a stale pointer in mpeg_vdec_Run().
1761 * (Hopefully) fixed the network connect() bug under UNIX.
1762 * aRts audio output courtesy of Emmanuel Blindauer <manu@agat.net>.
1763 * Fix to the esd plugin when esd-config --cflags is nonempty.
1764 * --channels puts gtk/gnome in multi-channel network mode.
1765 * The network window of the interface reports the values of the environment
1767 * Channels mode excludes vls configuration.
1768 * The vlc does not try to bind vls.via.ecp.fr by default when you select
1770 * Fixed MacOS X 10.1 network input, thanks to Mathias Kretschmer
1771 <mathias@research.att.com>.

1777 * The ./configure script is more friendly for Win32 users.
1778 * Moved warning message to debug message in spdif pass-through plugin.

1780 * The default file-translation mode was not being set under win32.
1781 * Fixed heap corruption issues in ac3dec (thanks reno).
1782 * Fixed a crash when using `--input dvd /dev/dvd' instead of `dvd:/dev/dvd'.
1783 * configure should no longer assume AltiVec is supported when it actually
1784 isn't with buggy compilers and/or pre-set $CFLAGS.
1785 * Commited my little release-howto (only useful to core vlc developers).
1786 * Closing Debian bug #119369 which was fixed a while ago.
1787 * Decoder modularization.

1795 * ipkg script for Familiar Linux 0.5 & bug fix in debian/rules.
1796 * Disabled DirectX audio output for the time being.
1797 * Added Oct's NSIS installer script. It will probably not work for you,
1798 but I need it to build the Win32 auto installer.
1799 * Automatic handling of the Channel Server's response in network mode.
1800 * GetMACAddress takes the interface defined in the environment variable
1801 vlc_iface instead of eth0.
1802 * Fixed bug with MPEG audio in TS streams.
1803 * Fixed compilation (and quite probably runtime) issues under IA64
1804 due to mixed int/void* casts.
1805 * Merged DVD netlist with input netlist to remove duplicated code.
1806 * BSD/OS VCD patch, courtesy of Steven M. Schultz <sms@TO.GD-ES.COM>.

1814 so that every plugin can use it.
1815 * Changed the name of a function in dvd_udf.c to fit with the forthcoming
1817 * Corrected à long time bug (around 0.2.81 I think), that created a
1818 corruption in ifo data. This was the reason why some DVDs that worked with
1819 0.2.80 no longer worked with newer version of vlc. They should work again
1821 * New --enable-release config option.
1822 * Removed deprecated code and structures.
1823 * Maybe corrected aspect ratio issue in fullscreen xvideo.
1824 * Fixed support for SPU and LPCM streams over network.

1830 Intf_Controller::file:Open (OS X).
1831 * The intf is no longer accessed indirectly from vout_Destroy.
1832 * Made it possible to open a File after vlc was started (you can use vlc now
1833 without starting it from the command line) under OS X.
1834 * Cleaned up playlist handling in Intf_Vlc_Wrapper.
1835 * Modified the pf_close kludge in input.c so that we don't segfault when
1837 * Changed chapter selection buttons aspect to try and differentiate them
1838 from title selection ones.
1839 * Changes to the BeOS interface to remove unwanted volumes from the Disk

1841 * Do not resample audio output if delta is short enough.
1842 * Fixed a segfault on exit under Windows 2000.
1843 * Enabled http button in gtk/gnome interface.

1904 * HTTP input support.
1905 * Borrowed Mandrakesoft's vlc.spec and libdvdcss.spec.
1906 * New configure option --with-tuning=[arch], extending --enable-pentiumpro ;

1921 * In spdif ac3 is selected by default
1922 * Video output grows to respect acpect ratio instead of shrinking (not
1923 in x11 because it takes cpu to resize a picture).
1924 * Disable dpms in xvideo.
1925 * Better handling of the buffer of the sound driver to try to remove
1927 * Fix bad dates in ac3 spdif "decoder" (playing with the bit stream is very

1965 * Added warning messages.
1966 * Fixed build dependencies for architectures not supporting libasound2
1967 (Closes Debian bug #109722).

1977 implying - performance boost ; - fixed the "Dual Prime Arithmetic" bug ;
1978 - 3DNow! motion compensation module.
1979 * AC3dec statistics do not show up with --enable-stats, because I doubt

1981 * Minor changes to the (non-working) ncurses interface.
1982 * Fixed a packet leak in DemuxPSI.
1983 * Added gnome.h check and cleaned the error messages in the configure script.

1995 reported in lucky.openbsd.misc.
1996 * GNU/Hurd configuration and compilation fixes.
1997 * Fixed a crash in subtitle rendering.
1998 * Activated old crappy subtitle rendering in overlay mode (ugly but
1999 probably better than having no subtitles at all).

2001 * configure.in fixes for BSD/OS.
2002 * Added vlc:loop playlist command to go back at the beginning.
2003 Usage: vlc file1.mpeg file2.mpeg ... fileN.mpeg vlc:loop
2004 * Fixed a bug in the gtk interface which caused vlc to go amok after

2021 patch is harmless on all systems.
2022 * Added a dummy libdvdcss so that the DVD plugin can be used without
2023 libdvdcss. It will try to dlopen() libdvdcss at runtime, though,
2024 and will use the dummy functions only if it couldn't find a valid
2025 libdvdcss. This is probably only useful to package maintainers.
2026 * Made the remote command plugin usable even with no stream.
2027 * Fixed a deadlock in the remote command plugin.
2028 * Fixed a deadlock in the SPU decoder.
2029 * Minor bug fix to aout_directx.c.

2039 * The video decoder thread is now also reniced to a lower priority on
2040 Win32 (like in the Linux version). This slightly increases the
2041 responsiveness of vlc.
2042 * Modified input_dvd so you can now go directly to the selected chapter
2043 when you change the title.
2044 * Implemented the Probe function in the Xvideo plugin. Xvideo is now the

2069 * Now using gcc -pipe.
2070 * (Hopefully) fixed the #@!$ field pictures bug.
2071 * Fixed the MMX YUV plugin issues with gcc 2.96 and 3.0.
2072 * Updated TODO, cosmetic changes.

2124 * Additional error checking in vout_sdl.c.
2125 * Minor manpage fix, conforming to Debian policy version 3.5.5.0
2126 (Closes Debian bug #99561).
2127 * Portablility fix: We now control the name to be used in the assembler
2128 code for a C function or variable.
2129 * Reenabled all the accelerated modules on Win32.
2130 * Bugfix for chapters change in DVD.
2131 * A few bug fixes for the directx plugin.
2132 * Removed the custom usleep function for win32 as we don't really need
2133 this accuracy, and it was eating cpu resources.
2134 * Elementary Stream input plugin (use it with --input es). Only works with
2135 video streams at the moment.
2136 * Added command line option '--stdout <filename>' which redirects stdout
2137 and stderr to the specified file. This option should mainly be useful

2153 * DirectX enhancements by Gildas Bazin, such as software rendering.
2154 * Another failed attempt at profiling vlc under Linux: ported the
2155 threads API to GNU Pth. Activate with --enable-pth. It doesn't seem to
2156 spawn new threads for me, maybe someone will have better luck.
2157 * Makefile optimizations.
2158 * Automatic build of libdvdcss if not found.
2159 * The DVD netlist no longer stops when the fifo is empty ; it just waits
2160 until there are free vectors again.

2169 AC3 (ugly). It allows a vlc launched in spdif mode to play mpeg or lpcm
2171 * Cleaned the title property messages to get rid of the ugly stars.
2172 * Added LPCM support. It should work with stereo LPCM.
2173 * Fixed a warning when compiling main.c.
2174 * Checked that OS supports SSE instructions on PIIIs (to avoid illegal
2175 hardware instructions on Linux 2.2.x).
2176 * Fixed a bug in synchro reinitialization: we no longer have a shift each
2177 time we restart the synchro (for SCR discontinuity for instance)
2178 * In DVD mode, we reinit the synchro only if the SCR are not continuous
2179 (instead of each cell).
2180 * Tried to improve AC3 spdif to prevent desynchronization.
2181 * Lots of DirectX plugin fixes by Gildas Bazin.

2386 * Removed redefinition of NULL in src/audio_decoder/adec_layer?.c.
2388 * BeOS icon and MIME resources courtesy of Wade Majors <guru@startrek.com>.
2389 * Updated Makefile.in to make vlc.app by default on Mac OS X & Darwin, added
2390 clean code for it as well.

2392 app (ie., double clicked and not launched from command line).
2393 * Cleaned up debug spew left in modules.c and video_text.c.
2394 * Created macosx_common.h in plugins/macosx/ to hold common stuff.

2396 function support and a no-frills About box.
2397 * Fixed icons location and Debian desktop menus.
2398 * Fixed a memory leak in gtk_callbacks.c (thanks to Dae).
2399 * Disabled message queue by default.
2400 * A few other changes in the CSS code, the BeOS issues should be fixed.
2401 * Corrected an awful typo in the version name.
2402 * Removed deprecated stuff from config.h.
2403 * Fixed the whitespace/tab issues in the Makefile.

2407 * Ported the 0.2.0's channel changing functions.
2408 * Fixed the lock segfault bug with some compilers.
2411 Sat, 7 Apr 2001 05:52:00 +0200
2413 * Fixed headers for FreeBSD compilation.
2414 * Fixed debian/rules for non-x86 packages (Closes: Debian bug #88583).
2415 * Deleted BBitmap[0] directly after overlay creation as no longer needed
2416 as overlay now owns Bits()
2417 * Fixed MPEG-1 mux_rate parsing.
2418 * Fixed MPEG-1 stuffing.
2419 * Don't create BBitmap drawing thread if using overlays
2420 * Changes to BeOS interface with file selection support
2421 * Fixed a boolean_t/int mix.
2422 * Increased FIFO_SIZE.
2423 * Fixed all alignment issues

2436 * Gtk+ interface: fixed a precision issue in the scale.
2437 * Qt interface: somebody pop up us the menu!!
2438 * Fixed Debian sparc build for real (Closes: Debian bug #89285).
2439 * vlc core compiles under QNX RTOS. Now if anyone feels like tidying
2440 it and writing output and interface plugins...
2441 * Split audio output into several separate files to make it easier
2442 to debug. Removed a few redundancies as well.
2443 * Support for Darwin CoreAudio, courtesy of Colin Delacroix [MacOS X port] ;
2444 * Added warnings for ac3 mantissa (we still have problems with AC3 on
2446 * Renamed WriteResource to avoid a namespace clash with Darwin's
2448 * Compile Darwin module by default on Darwin system. [MacOS X port]
2449 * Use $QTDIR for the qt module ;
2450 * SDL fixes and enhancements by Shane Harper <shanegh@optusnet.com.au>

2455 * Added a SYNCHRO_START in DVDRead for each cell change to fix
2457 * Changed seek function to prevent jump-at-will and to remove two bugs in
2459 * Initialize some values in netlist (payload_discard wasn't which caused
2461 * Come back of multi-sector read which should make reading faster
2462 * Language & Inteface support for BeOS interface
2463 * XVideo plugin courtesy of Shane Harper <shanegh@optusnet.com.au>
2464 * Makefile.in and configure.in fixes by Nilmoni Deb <ndeb@ece.cmu.edu>
2465 * A few syntax fixes in the plain X11 plugin
2466 * Various bug fixes in dvd_netlist. Some bugs seem to remain though.
2467 * New function input_ToggleES for interaction with interface.
2468 * Changes in gnome interface : navigation menus are now splited, there
2469 are radio item in menus and the code should be better.
2470 * First step for dvd_ifo rewritting. Now allocation/disallocation is
2471 being done as it has to be.
2472 * Fixed a bug in title management that make dvd like Seven work.
2473 * vout_beos now uses double buffering for YCbCr overlay.
2474 This (for some reason) improves audio/video sync
2475 * Fixes for the Qt plugin compilation under Debian
2476 * Heavy butchering in the CSS and DVD ioctl code to put all architecture-
2477 dependent code in dvd_ioctl.c
2478 * Added almost fully-functional /dev/dvd driver for MacOS X in
2480 * Fall back to one-packet-once reading in dvd input since multi-block
2481 seems to have a bug that make the vlc crash on title/audio/spu change. I
2482 hope that this bug will be fixed soon for the performance is poorer now
2483 * Add-ons and changes in gnome interface:
2484 o menu subdivision is done only if there are over 20 items,
2485 o in DVD mode next/prev apply to title,
2486 o in DVD mode, added a box with button to navigate through chapters.
2487 * Additional enhancements to the OS X DVD ioctl module
2488 * Big cleaning of the BeOS DVD ioctl code, got rid of all Linuxisms
2489 * Compilation fixes for the BeOS DVD ioctls
2490 * XVideo plugin enhancements by Shane Harper <shanegh@optusnet.com.au>
2491 * Added the GNU getopt library, which gets compiled in when getopt_long
2492 isn't available on the desired platform.
2493 * Replaced the `--warning' flag with the standard cumulative `-v' flag.
2494 `-v' is like `--warning 3', and `-vvvv' is like `--warning 0'
2495 (`--warning' is still valid for those used to it)
2496 * Cleaning in configure.in and Makefile.in, the Solaris port now
2497 builds and runs properly.
2498 * Code cleanup: removed a few tabulations.
2499 * Fixed inline asm routines to remove all read/write operands.
2500 * Added <string.h> to most files to prevent warnings under FreeBSD.

2504 interface (courtesy of Eugenio Jarosiewicz & Colin Delacroix) ;
2505 * Cleaning code and a small fix to make quit work on OSX
2506 * Disable x11 plugin if X11 headers are not found.
2507 * Misc fixes in the DVD input.
2508 * Fixed CSS authentication under Linux.
2509 * Playlist now refreshes when a file is opened.
2510 * XVideo plugin background is now black instead of white.
2513 Mon, 5 Mar 2001 00:41:16 +0100
2515 * Got rid of the CONTRIBUTORS list, and switched AUTHORS to a
2516 linux-kernel like author list.
2517 * Updated TODO list.
2518 * Fixed a segfault in the BeOS interface when --noaudio was specified.
2519 * Title and Chapter selection in the Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces.
2520 * Fixed a bug in audio selection
2521 * Tried to fix an issue in size computing.
2522 * Commited BeOS changes by Richard Shepherd and Tony Castley.
2523 * Added boolean_t b_YCbr to vout_thread_s structure to flag YUV-YCbCr
2524 decoding needed instead of YUV-RGB
2525 * Will be removed later when video_output.c rewritten
2526 * vout_CreateThread() initialises b_YCbr to zero
2527 * New BeOS video plugin that supports hardware overlays and new
2528 MediaPlayer compatible interface
2529 * Added YUV-YCbCr transforms
2530 * Fixed bugs in title/chapter handling once more, especially for size
2531 detection and location of main movie.
2532 * Support for multitrack DVD : now the stream is given to input as it has
2533 to be ; however, all the tracks are displayed one after the other ; I
2534 think we need to decode navigation ES to choose the track
2535 * Fixed behaviour at end of device.
2536 * Added DVD/VCD button and menu for quick DVD device selection to the
2537 Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces, so that vlc can play a DVD even when
2538 launched from a GUI.
2539 * Added debian/* files to help generating CSS-enabled non-US packages,
2540 and changed plugins/dvd/* to reflect this change.
2541 * Added .xpm icons (fixes lintian warnings).
2542 * --help output and manpage are now in sync (Closes Debian bug #87478).
2543 * Fixed Build-dpends entry in debian/control (Closes Debian bug #83707).
2544 * Completely changed title and chapter initialization. Now we have real
2546 * Fixed size for a majority of DVD.
2547 * More consistency in the p_input->stream management.
2548 * Made input_SelectES() and input_UnselectES() not block the input thread
2550 * Changed debian/control to fix Debian bug #83707
2551 * Added a --disable-css configure option
2552 * Moved some code here and there in the DVD plugin to make it easier
2553 for me to build the Debian CSS-free packages.
2554 * Fixed miscellaneous alignment problems (alpha/sparc ports) ;
2555 * Added a fps display when toggling 'i' ;
2556 * Fixed a bug in the video parser where one picture buffer was not
2557 released at quit time ;
2558 * Broke the mux_rate calculation, but hey guys ! it was already broken and
2560 * New function for DVD reading, that is able to read multiple blocks
2561 (I've chosen 32 now), that doesn't use any memcpy anymore and is also much
2562 faster. It is ready now for cell positioning in multi-angle DVD (to come
2564 * DVD specific netlist adapted to 2048 bytes long blocks that contain
2565 several data_packets.
2566 * Modification in mpeg_system.c to use p_payload_start instead of
2567 p_buffer (necessary for DVD plugin). It does not break other plugins
2568 since they set p_payload_start to p_buffer
2569 * New field i_read_once in input_thread_s to be able to read more than
2570 the TS related 7 packets ; i_read_once is set to INPUT_READ_ONCE by
2571 defaults but plugins can change it during initialisation.
2572 * Bug fix with frequential downmix
2573 * Additional optimizations to the subtitle decoder
2574 * The GGI video output should now be faster. Also, right-mouse-clicking
2575 works in GGI mode as well.
2576 * Optimizations done to the SPU decoder. Now the RLE is expanded at
2577 decoding time, not rendering time. The main loop in vout_RenderSPU
2578 is now 20 lines long.
2579 * The Gtk+ interface is now built as a Debian package as well. The Gnome
2580 package depends on it because of the icon and menu entry.
2581 * Added an intf_WarnHexDump() function to do raw hexadecimal dumps of
2582 memory areas. For debugging purposes or for real men, as you wish.
2583 * Lots of tidying in dvd_ioctl.c, a few comments added.
2584 * Better error handling in the subpicture decoder.
2585 * Tidied video_spu.c. More to come later.
2586 * Fixed subtitle displaying. Will soon work in overlay mode as well.
2587 * Disabled slice-level resynchro since it's probably buggy.
2588 * Fixed a structural major bug in the macroblock structure management.
2589 * Added debug messages.
2590 * Fixed a compile problem in debug mode.
2591 * Added functions and hooks to display dates instead of off_t.
2592 * Added a 'd' keystroke to dump the stream contents (for debugging
2594 * New ES detection based on .ifo for DVD module. It might fail (I have
2595 found one DVD for which ifo seems false).
2596 * Title and chapter selection on the command line (see -t and -T options)
2597 It will allow to watch some DVD that went through menus by default.
2598 * Beginning of menus in gnome interface.
2599 * Fix bug in ac3dec for mono streams
2600 * BeOS: new video output method, the vlc now uses BBitmap instead of
2601 BDirectWindow (better performances)
2602 * BeOS: added resizing
2603 * BeOS: added beta support for overlay
2604 * Added a plain Gtk+ port of the Gnome interface, for the gnome-impaired
2605 people. Gtk+ is now compiled by default, while Gnome isn't (you will
2606 have to add --enable-gnome when running configure)
2607 * Replaced -lcurses with -lncurses in configure.in.
2608 * Added DemuxPSI, DecodePAT and DecodePMT. Never tested which streams
2609 where PAT or PMT are splitted in more than one section.
2612 Fri, 2 Mar 2001 17:32:24 +0100
2614 * DVD plugin is still non-functional when you don't have DVD ioctls,
2615 but at least it compiles under BeOS as well.
2616 * Minor cosmetic changes here and there.
2617 * Added the BeOS code for vlc_mutex_destroy() and vlc_cond_destroy()
2618 * Minor optimizations in the video decoder.
2619 * Move ac3 globals variables into structures
2620 * Fixed a bash-ism in configure.in
2621 * Fixed a segfault in input.c when no input plugin was found for
2623 * Fixed a deadlock in the Gnome interface. Next time I'll initialize
2624 my mutexes, I promise.
2625 * Added Oct to the authors list in intf_gnome.glade :)
2626 * Second step in area management ; everything is in place now to have
2627 title handling; it is coming :)
2628 * Ported Glide and MGA plugins to the new module API. MGA never worked,
2629 so this didn't make it work better.
2630 * Started thinking about built-in modules, and added some code to
2631 make it easier eventually.
2632 * Added Oct in the AUTHORS file.
2633 * Fixed a mistake in configure.in.
2634 * All your base are belong to us.
2635 * Fixed a bug in src/misc/modules which prevented loading modules
2636 when launched from the Tracker.
2637 * Fixed a similar bug in src/video_output/video_text.c.
2638 * BeOS CSS support, thanks to Markus Kuespert <ltlBeBoy@beosmail.com>
2639 who ported the Linux DVD ioctls. We can now read encrypted DVDs
2640 under BeOS ! Woohoo.
2641 * First serie of changes in DVD module for the forthcoming interface menus.
2642 There is a new capability in input type modules for setting the
2643 attributes of a new area. It is set to NULL for PS and TS plugins.
2644 It should be called for every title change, chapter change,
2645 audio mode change or spu channel change.
2646 * Kludge of the kludge, removing an oddity in YUV initialisation, and
2647 activating YUV overlay on startup whenever hardware acceleration is
2648 available. Thanks for bearing with us, stay tuned.
2650 * Changed video decoder's error messages into warnings.
2652 * Drag and drop support under BeOS.
2653 * Change in the code to detect beginning of movie. It is much better now
2654 but still fails with some DVD for which the movie is not the first
2656 * Beginning of ideas to handle chapters and ES selection
2657 * configure.in and Makefile.in patches for better SDL support and
2658 support for $(bindir) $(datadir) and $(libdir) stuff, courtesy
2659 of Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <misiek@pld.ORG.PL>
2660 * Ported ggi.so to the new modules API. As for the other modules, only
2661 the "q" key works. Moreover, VLC doesn't exit cleanly if you close the
2663 * Deactivated non-working widgets in the Gnome interface.
2664 * Added CONTRIBUTORS file.
2665 * Ported the framebuffer plugin to the new module API. As for most of the
2666 other video output modules, keyboard doesn't work. Except ^C to quit.
2667 * UDF filesystem support so that we know the location of the first video
2668 related file with 100% reliability (great change that should make DVDs
2669 with binaries and extra stuff work with vlc).
2670 * Correction of a bug in ifo reading that falsified the adress of
2672 * Changed the method for selecting title at start. It is _not_ reliable
2673 though, but it is better than the preceding one.
2674 * Tried to fix the BeOS interface and video output. Any BeOS developers
2675 listening ? I can't even test that code, it probably wants additional
2677 * Added a workaround in modules.c for broken libc's which happen to truncate
2678 filenames in dentry structures when using 64bits offsets. The kind of
2679 stuff you only see in RedHats <g>.
2680 * Made the SDL error messages a bit more useful.
2681 * The Gnome menu is now created when mouse is released, not when it
2682 is pressed. It may sound stupid, but it really makes a difference.
2685 Fri, 16 Feb 2001 08:09:59 +0100
2687 * Fixed package building (both RPMs and .debs).
2688 * Fixed `make snapshot' rule.
2689 * Added some magic to filename detection. To read a DVD you now just
2690 need to run 'vlc dvd:/dev/hdc' for instance. Same for file:// URIs.
2691 * Fixed a segfault in the slider when no stream was playing.
2692 * Made the slider go from 0 to 100 (instead of 99 :)
2693 * The vlc now doesn't exit when finished playing. As a side effect of
2694 the playlist code being very recent, it continuously loops.
2695 * Fixed a segfault in the input thread creation, as well as a possible
2696 deadlock. This happened mostly when opening non-existing files.
2697 * Created input_SetStatus to do input_SetRate's job. input_SetRate will
2698 be used to set an arbitrary rate, for people who want to read DVDs at
2699 1/2.71828 times the actual speed.
2700 * Stubs for the ncurses control interface. No working code yet, but the
2701 holes just need to be filled.
2702 * Improved X11 support. Still not as functional as before.
2703 * The output window now states the method name, so that people know whether
2704 they are using X11 or SDL.
2705 * The Gnome interface is now drag'n'drop aware, you can drop a file
2706 on it just like Xine does (or so I guess).
2707 * New more recent css authentication code.
2708 * Beginning of udf support (not in Makefile)
2709 * Removed useless includes in intf_gnome.c
2710 * Made the vout_sdl.c functions static
2711 * Ported vout_x11.c to the modules API; code isn't very nice yet though
2712 * X11 output works again. It's just the output, but it works; I now need
2713 to clean the code and add event handling.
2714 * Should have fixed the dependency generater for some plugins.
2717 Wed, 14 Feb 2001 08:33:46 +0100
2719 * Started porting the X11 vout (still disabled)
2720 * A few unnoticeable changes in the Gnome intf
2721 * Changes in the way stream size in DVD mode is calculated. It is no
2722 longer such an ugly kludge and is much more accurate.
2723 * Changes in DVDSeek so that the interface slider is in 0 when we are at
2724 the beginning of the strem.
2725 * Try to detect the beginning of the movie in the middle of the title. It
2726 works for most of the DVDs but will begin in the middle of the movie
2728 * Calculate only the first title key in css mode because it might take a
2729 long time with some title. The search stops now when we have a key once
2730 whereas it did stop only when we had it twice before. It should not
2732 * Really fixed MC segfault bug.
2733 * Adaptation of DVD module to navigation slider. The seek has to be
2734 done on a multiple of 2048, and shopuld take care of the offset to the
2735 beginning of the stream. It works with most of my DVDs by fails to
2736 detect size of some streams.
2737 * Change of the order of call to ifo and css functions in input_dvd.c,
2738 because we can't read ifo files before authentification on some DVDs.
2739 * Changed location of some css tables.
2740 * We read ifo date and decrypt css keys for all titles now. It takes quite a
2741 long time to initialize with some DVDs (if you have 42 titles for
2742 instance). The key decryption might give a false value if the title is
2743 less than 10 Mb ; I'm working on that :)
2744 * Quick patch to avoid a segfault when arbitrarily seeking the stream.
2745 * Added --intf option to vlc
2746 * Started cleaning vout_sdl.c
2747 * The dummy plugin works again
2748 * Added a slider to the Gnome interface so that we can browse through streams
2749 * Removed enhancement because of an incompatibility with slow motion.
2750 * We can now seek at position 0 :p ;
2751 * Tried to enhance picture dating on timebase discontinuities.
2753 * Much cleaning in css code. It should work fine now.
2754 * Fixed my old stupid bug that disabled sound after having played the
2755 first playlist item.
2756 * Added `Prev' and `Next' buttons to the interface, with the beginning of
2757 a playlist window (still empty).
2758 * Added `Slow' and `Fast' buttons to the interface and popup menu.
2759 * Removed tests against i_rate and i_new_rate calculation from the
2760 plugins and hid this complexity into input_ext-intf.c
2761 * The pure Gnome part of the Gnome interface has been rewritten from
2762 scratch, and the .glade file included as well. You can edit it by
2763 installing glade-gnome and doing `glade plugins/gnome/intf_gnome.glade',
2764 or directly by hand if you grok XML.
2765 * Files can now be loaded into vlc using the `Open' buttons. But for the
2766 moment you still have to launch vlc with at least one file, because it
2767 quits when the end of the playlist is reached.
2768 * Idle screen was disabled because it eats a lot of CPU and is mostly
2769 useless for the moment. And it gets activated when pause lasts for too
2771 * Plugins have completely disappeared, we now only use the new module API.
2772 * All intf and vout modules are now independant. So far, only the Gnome
2773 intf module and the SDL vout module have been ported. configure.in has
2774 been modified to reflect the changes (x11 and dummy aren't compiled by
2775 default anymore, while SDL and Gnome are).
2776 * Right-clicking on the SDL video output window brings the Gnome menu.
2777 * Pause, Play, Exit, About work from the menu or from the interface window.
2778 * The old SDL keys still work.
2779 * Fixed a bug in #define that prevented from using ioctls
2780 * Some functions to prepare ifo commands utilisation to move in the
2782 * Change in configure to avoid compiling css functions on BSD.
2783 * Added comments to src/interface/intf_plst.c and include/intf_plst.h
2784 so that people understand how the playlist works.
2785 * Updated the TODO list (34 items to do, 41 done !)
2786 * Portability : changed off64_t to off_t and activated appropriate
2788 * Changed fseek() to fseeko() for 64-bit offsets ;
2789 * Reset frame predictors on a stream discontinuity.
2790 * Implemented basic stream navigation function, and bound Jump forward
2791 and jump Backward in the SDL intf. Enjoy !
2792 * Pause function implemented ('p' key).
2793 * Fixed a compile probleme on machine without a dvd player :ppppp
2794 * Fixed two bugs in ifo and css that caused memory corruption and
2795 segfault when using sdl in dvd mode.
2796 * Moved the playlist handling from input/input.c to interface/interface.c
2797 * Fixed a few warnings at compile-time.
2798 * Fixed sound channel selection in playlist mode.
2799 * Added a color message in the plugin bank because on peut bien déconner
2800 cinq minutes, quand-même.
2801 * We now spawn a new input thread for each file.
2802 * Added a missing pf_close() because it's always cool to close files
2804 * Solved bug with cssdescrambling. The vlc might segfault with dvd
2805 plugins. I will fix that soon.
2806 * Minor modification in pluginification.
2807 * Playlist works again (still the old wrong way like Meuuh doesn't
2808 like, but this is going to change within a few hours)
2809 * Input_ps, input_ts and input_dvd are now plugins, located in
2810 plugins/mpeg/ and plugins/dvd/
2811 * Fast/slow keys are now A/Z instead of A/S since S was already
2812 linked to the scale/noscale toggle.
2813 * `--dvd' doesn't work anymore, for the moment try to use :
2814 vlc --input dvd /dev/dvd
2815 * Module bank is now less verbose ; use `--warn 1' to turn back
2817 * New method using netlist to read packets on DVD device by sectors of
2819 * Some modifications in netlist to make it work with DVD.
2820 * Fixed à bug in mpeg_system.c
2821 * We can now choose the speed of forward (between 32/1 and 1/8)
2822 * Functional fast forward and slow motion API ;
2823 * Dirty hack in the SDL intf to bind "a" (fAst forward), "s" (Slow motion)
2825 * Centralized clock management, preparing for stream navigation ;
2826 * Fixed a bug in the management of the first video PTS.
2827 * Fixed a bug in period calculation for progressive sequences.
2828 * Fixed a FIXME in SDL: p_vout->p_sys is no more used in intf_sdl.c
2829 * Used instead p_vout->i_changes like in x11
2830 * Disabled SDL parachute to let the vlc dump a core instead of staying stuck
2831 * Patched 2 debian bugs
2832 (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=vlc)
2833 * Improved the snapshot generation
2834 * Mouse pointer hidden/shown with middle button in SDL output
2835 * Removed obsolete video_yuv_mmx.S
2836 * Updated the TODO list and wrote a small todo.pl parser to make it
2837 easier to see which items remain to be done
2838 * `make snapshot' now creates vlc-*.tar.gz and vlc-*-nocss.tar.gz
2841 Wed, 31 Jan 2001 04:30:37 +0100
2843 * Version 0.2.50 for the Linux Expo
2844 * --overlay and --fulscreen options (only work with --vout sdl)
2845 * The vlc exits after the end of the stream, which prevents from having
2846 to kill it and relaunch it during a presentation.
2847 * Not a very nice hack, but will probably spare us a few user complaints: if
2848 no -a option is specified, the vlc will play the first audio type it finds,
2849 so there is no need to specify "-a ac3" for a DVD anymore.
2850 * CSS support kludged for current DVD input.
2851 It is very slow now but will be more adapted to the forthcoming DVD
2853 It should read the first title of many DVDs but has been tested with few.
2854 * Beginning of ifo commands to implement DVD navigation.
2855 * Fix for field pictures.
2856 * Hooks for fast forward and slow motion support.
2857 * Fixed backwards moves.
2858 * Tuned up optimizations.
2859 * Completely removed BIZARRE_OPTIMS.
2860 * Check for the needed headers for DVD ioctls
2861 * Some cleaning in the dvd authentification code
2862 * Various miscellaneous minor optimizations of the video parser.
2863 * Beginning of support for encrypted DVDs.
2864 * It only tests encryption and authenticates disc.
2865 * Really fixed GetChunk now.
2866 * 32-bit aligned bitstream (not that fast).
2867 * The motion compensation routines are now modules as well ; choose your
2868 implementation with `--motion motion', `--motion motionmmx' or
2869 `--motion motionmmxext'. Of course, the best implementation is chosen
2870 if you don't ask for any. There doesn't seem to be any performance hit
2871 due to the move to shared libs, which is a good thing. Please test
2872 actively if you have time, though.
2873 * Updated --help result, manpage, INSTALL document, and a few files.
2874 * Borrowed LiViD's MMX and MMX EXT IDCT. This might break things. Expect
2875 a performance increase.
2876 * Removed a few useless malloc() and unused variables in the audio SDL stuff
2877 * Prepared the work for built-in modules (not yet finished)
2878 * Small tweak in the copy handling, reduce CPU usage.
2879 * --aout sdl now works
2880 * Added SDL sound support. Sounds a bit laggy sometimes but my streams
2881 are ill. please try.
2882 * Modified configure.in and all that stuff. Re-run configure
2883 * SDL audio, video and interface are all part of the same .so now.
2884 * Removed YUV old files :->
2885 * Reverted something that wasn't supposed to go into the cvs :p
2886 * Removed -fargument-noalias-global which causes problems with as (???).
2887 * Borrowed livid's latest libmmx and MMXEXT MC. Not in the Makefile => to
2888 test it, replace vdec_motion_inner_mmx.c by vdec_motion_inner_mmxext.c.
2889 * A few changes in the CPU extensions detection code, borrowed from the
2890 kernel and from mpeg2dec. I still don't know how to detect if code
2891 compiled with -mcpu=pentiumpro will run, since the cpuid arcanes are
2892 quite obtuse to me. Perhaps we should also have a way not to load modules
2893 if they have been compiled with a different CPU to avoid segfaults.
2894 * Add check for MMX EXT extensions, which doesn't work, which is a good
2895 thing since there is no MMX EXT IDCT yet :)
2896 * Change for the forthcoming fast forward and slow motion support.
2897 * Fixed the --aout, --idct and --yuv flags
2898 * Updated manpage and --(long)help output to reflect that change
2899 * Removed a few unneeded #includes here and there
2900 * Cosmetic changes in error messages in input.c
2901 * Now use of 64 bits offsets to parse the whole DVD. So we have all the
2902 available information
2903 * Fixed a bug in parsing of VTS attributes
2904 * Fixed a bug in input.c that made input plugin initialize even though
2905 no stream is reachable (thanks Sam)
2906 * Merged the YUV plugins in the same directory to avoid too much code
2908 * YUV transformations now use the new module API ; now only the vout
2909 and interface still depend on the old plugin API
2910 * Changed TestMMX to TestCPU because we will be able to test for other
2911 specific extensions (3DNow, SSE) for the forthcoming IDCT we'll
2912 borrow to mpeg2dec (as usual :P)
2913 * Don't show "hiding module" messages anymore except in debug mode
2914 * Swapped C IDCT and Classic IDCT scores since the classic one seems
2915 to be faster ; anyway you should use the MMX one
2916 * Fixed a Makefile bug under BeOS
2917 * Tried to fix the cpuid code so that it compiles under BeOS (Polux, can
2918 you test it when you have time ?)
2919 * Fixed a bug in the frame rate handling ;
2920 * Fixed a bug in the DTS/PTS ordering. Our pts are _at last_ accurate.
2921 * Finally fixed repeat_first_field and co. (pas encore tout compris...)
2922 * Implemented video_parser bitstream callback for PTS/DTS.
2923 * Fixed close button support in SDL
2924 * Fixed --width and --height support in SDL
2925 * Fixed the bug-that-made-the-vlc-segfault-on-exit, which means that
2926 more than ever, « le client ne segfaulte pas ».
2927 * There was still a problem upon quitting: sometimes the null packet
2928 wasn't big enough to reach a decoder breakpoint, so I now create 10
2929 of them (since I can't make it bigger) to be sure. Meuuh, what do
2931 * Fixed the Makefile to spare a few variables here and there.
2932 * Reduced module hide delay, removed loading of the audio output
2933 plugins since they are now modules.
2934 * Changed a few intf_Msg to intf_DbgMsg, and added "vout:", "intf:",
2935 and so on in a few other messages.
2936 * Removed unused includes in the idct modules.
2937 * Correction of bugs in ifo parsing. Now the structures should be well
2938 initialized. It remains some segfaults but it globally works.
2939 * DVD mode is enabled with option --dvd. For the moment, it only read
2940 the first vts and find the movie if it is at the beginning of the title
2942 * Beginning of dvd_input. Parsing of ifo file almost completed.
2943 * The IDCT functions are now located in modules : the classic IDCT,
2944 our optimized IDCT, and MMX IDCT.
2945 * Cosmetic changes for modules (pf_* instead of p_*)
2946 * Fixes to the BeOS and dummy modules
2947 * Changed default values :
2948 INPUT_PTS_DELAY down to 200 ms ;
2949 video heap down from 10 to 5 pictures ;
2950 decoder fifo size from 1023 to 511 PES ;
2951 * Fixed various bugs in 32 bit-versions of input_ext-dec.h ;
2952 * Fixed a bug in GetChunk() ;
2953 * Renamed GetByte, GetWord, ShowWord to _GetByte, _GetWord, _ShowWord ;
2954 * Moved decoder_fifo-specific code from programs.c to dec.c ;
2955 * Fixed bugs in program.c that prevented vlc to close all decoders ;
2956 * Gave sam a lesson for the use of the bitstream in spu_decoder.c :ppp ;
2957 * Made the video parser unlock the reference pictures before quitting
2958 (still one left, yaknow why ?)
2959 * Destroy fifo mutex and cond variables _after_ they are used for
2960 the last time. henri, that'll be one binouze.
2961 * Attempt to port the BeOS audio plugin to the new module API. Will
2962 probably need a few fixes to work or even compile.
2963 * Ported the alsa plugin to the news vlc module API
2964 * Fixed 32 bits bitstream bugs.
2965 * Moved the MPEG audio decoder to the new bitstream
2966 * Cleaning in the SPU decoder.
2967 * Moved swab32 from input_ext-dec.h to common.h. We probably won't need
2968 it anymore really soon, since ntohl() and htonl() seem to be properly
2969 optimized when gcc is passed the right optimization flags.
2970 * Fixed GetBits32 and RemoveBits32. I know the #ifdefs are useless since
2971 we only support u32 words, but it's a safe reminder. Comments appreciated
2972 on this fix since I may have b0rked something -- it runs well here though.
2973 * Changed code for handling b_die in bitstream ;
2974 * Moved input_ext-dec.h to input.h ;
2975 * New input_NullPacket function ;
2976 * Fixed init bugs in input and vpar ;
2977 * Placed a callback to the decoder in the bitstream structure ;
2978 * Fixed a purify bug in input_ps.c ;
2979 * Added -mcpu=pentiumpro in the Makefile.
2980 * Complete commenting of modules_core.h and small modifications
2981 * Separated MODULE_CONFIG_START and ADD_WINDOW (Henri, beware)
2982 * Fixed a very, very old bug that caused namespace collision between
2983 plugins (Henri, beware: call your aout_getplugin function like this,
2984 not alsa_aout_getplugin)
2985 * Removed the Debian specific clean rules from the Makefile, since they
2986 are already handled by the debian/rules script.
2987 * Tidied a few compilation rules (-lfoo should always be at the end)
2988 * Added 8bits palette SDL support.
2989 * Fixed a warning under FreeBSD (dlerror() is a const char*, not a char*).
2990 * Made configure script look for the bswap assembly instruction (using
2991 AC_TRY_COMPILE makes sure the compiler will really accept it).
2992 * Fixed colors' bug (TODO: write a function in vout that recalculate colors
2994 * Cleaning of the fullscreen switch, still sucks but the surface is not
2995 reallocated and that's good (thanks to the magic function
2996 SDL_WM_ToggleFullScreen provided by sdl library :).
2997 * Added a missing mutex_unlock in video_output.c
2998 * Moved a mutex_destroy after the thread cancellation to prevent
3000 * Added a missing #ifdef in intf_msg.c which prevented compilation
3002 * Fixed a bug in the input that prevented to quit properly in certain
3003 cases (some ES were not deleted because their index was skipped when
3004 the former one was deleted, well Meuuh should know what I mean)
3005 * Cleaning of SDL Lock/Unlock Surface.
3006 * All plugins now compile with -fPIC.
3007 * Made the audio_output API a bit simpler.
3008 * Got rid of modules_config.h.
3009 * Fixed `make install' rule.
3010 * Fixed warnings in the MMX YUV compilation.
3011 * Probably fixed a bug in the input : pp_foo structures were free()d at
3012 the end, but this was useless since the last call to realloc() is
3013 equivalent to free(), and two consecutive calls to free() aren't a
3015 * We check that the version number match and that we don't already have
3016 a module by that name when loading a new module.
3017 * All public module_* functions now properly lock the module bank.
3018 * The audio_output now uses the new module API ; EsounD and DSP modules
3019 have been ported, which should be enough for Henri to port the ALSA one.
3020 * Added vlc_mutex_destroy and vlc_cond_destroy function, for pthreads.
3021 Used them before quitting, every lock and cond is destroyed
3022 * Checked the return value of malloc and realloc in input_programs
3023 * Fixed compilation pb under solaris 2.6
3024 * Should compile & run on Solaris with ./configure --disable-dsp
3026 * Removed most SYS_SOLARIS #ifdef's in favour of more generic tests
3027 * Updated example ./configure line in INSTALL file
3028 * Now we only load modules that end with ".so"
3029 * null module is compiled by default
3030 * Fixed initialization of payload_start and payload_end
3031 * --enable-sdl and some others are now --with-sdl[=name] to supply an
3032 optional library name ;
3033 * Deleted all unnecessary #include <sys/uio.h> ;
3034 * /usr/include is now searched when looking for libraries and headers.
3035 * src/misc/modules.c is in a workable state now.
3036 * Splitted modules.h into modules.h and modules_core.h to enable
3037 clean compilation of the Null Module.
3038 * Added the Null Module, the module that does nothing but that is going
3039 to be of great help for debugging my module code.
3040 * Plugins are now called modules, because we will be able to compile
3041 them either as a dynamic plugin, or within the program. And, more
3042 important, I can commit this without having to break the vlc :)
3044 * video_output.c : compute picture size even if b_need_render == 0;
3045 * Fixed a deadlock (the vout unlocked a mutex locked by another thread,
3046 grrrr, I'll kill someone) ;
3047 * Put config.h in front of others in audio_decoder.c.
3048 * Better display of the fps.
3049 * Removed i_iovec_start and i_iovec_end. Used i_data instead
3050 * Fixed THX Cimmarron bug (it was _not_ a synchro bug).
3051 * Fixed a bug in the DTS/PTS parsing ;
3052 * Fixed a bug in vpar_headers.c synchro handling introduced before ;
3053 * Enhanced synchro's handling of dates and frame structure changes.
3054 * Fixed a bug in the PSM decoder.
3055 * We now read the DTS (but we don't use it for the moment).
3056 NB : b_has_pts has disappeared for brevity reasons, use i_pts != 0 instead.
3057 * New synchro statistics and warnings.
3058 * Avoid calling SafeRead() with a null packet size.
3059 * Use of ptrdiff_t whenever necessary (IA-64 port) ;
3060 * Changed behaviour of preparsing code, faster startup ;
3061 * Fixed DecodePSM(), cannot test ;
3062 * Cleaned up ParsePES(), fixed a bug which could reject very small but
3064 * Fixed cosmetic bugs in vpar_synchro frame_rate display.
3065 * Changed subtitles palette.
3066 * SPU decoder now uses Meuuh's GetChunk() code.
3067 * Lots of cleaning in the SPU decoder.
3068 * Message queue is flushed before we spawn input.
3069 * Fixed so that it compiles with VDEC_SMP (no good sync yet though).
3070 * Using i_id instead of i_stream_id whenever possible ;
3071 * Fixed a bug in -c and -s options.
3072 * Fixed a compile pbm in debug mode (f34r d4 1-line fix)
3073 * Fixed AC3 and SPU PES reading (ph34r da one-byte patch)
3074 * Some 79 char wrap.
3075 * No need to add "\n" at the end of intf_*Msg() messages anymore.
3076 * Moved input_DecodePES() to input_dec.c ;
3077 * Fixed an segfault in input_programs.c ;
3078 * Added -fomit-frame-pointer optimization.
3079 * Fixed a *major* memory leak in the pre-parsing code. Hopefully it should
3081 * New decoder spawning API input_dec.c ;
3082 * Moved p_input->pp_es -> p_input->stream.pp_es and clean up of
3083 input_programs.c & co ;
3084 * Fixed memory leaks.
3085 * Moved video_decoder's headers from include/ to src/video_decoder.
3086 * Temporarily removed b&w kludge.
3087 * Splitted up p_method_data/p_plugin_data ;
3088 * Cleaned up input_ts.c, added it into the Makefile.
3089 * Fixed various memory leaks.
3090 * Removed all arbitrary limits on the number of elementary streams.
3091 * Removed b_die and b_error from all decoders (obsoleted by decoder_fifo_t).
3092 All decoders should now exit cleanly (if it's not the case, it should be
3093 referenced as a bug).
3094 * Fixed a bug which prevented the input to exit normally (non-selected
3095 ES in the pp_selected_es array).
3096 * Added netlist support.
3097 * Added U8_Mono audio output
3098 * Fixed "-a [ mpeg | ac3 | lpcm | off ]" option
3099 * Only pre-parse the first 32 MB of data.
3100 * Added -a, -c and -s options. (-a doesn't work but I will let the people
3101 who thought it would be cleaner to put config in environment variables
3102 correct what's wrong in my code).
3103 * Now we only try to open plugins which are existing files
3104 * Big cleanup of the PS input plugin ;
3105 * Fixed a bug in AC3 initialization ;
3106 * PS streams are now pre-parsed (this can take a while) if possible ;
3107 * Move #define from audio_output.h to config.h
3108 * Change vlan_server_ip to vishnou's ip (but vlans not working yet)
3109 * GetChunk() : reads n bytes from the elementary stream and places them
3110 in a big buffer (a gift for Sam).
3111 * Quantic start in fullscreen fixed.
3112 * Input-II now correctly handles private stream 1 (AC3, DVDSPU).
3113 * Split the audio decoder into adec_generic, adec_layer1 and adec_layer2
3115 * Added SDLYUV support,
3116 * Fixed the ratio/position problem in YUV,
3117 * We now display CPU usage statistics for each thread.
3118 * Additional fix for Layer 1 mono
3120 * Fixed audio syncword detection for mpeg 1 streams (hopefully)
3121 * Fixed Layer 2 Mono decoding.
3122 * Hardware YUV overlay (SDL) with real colors ;p It may suck for non
3124 * Removed vout code found in intf file to support fullscreen switching.
3125 Now only vout_SDL updates SDL data and intf only switch flags such as
3126 b_reopen_display and b_fullscreen in p_vout->p_sys.
3127 * Fixed a var name typo in input_programs.c which prevents vlc from
3128 compiling with --enable-debug option. (i_es_pid -> i_es_id :)
3129 * Autodetection of Overlay support
3130 * Fixed support for broken MPEG-1 files.
3131 * Cleaned up program and ES management by using input_programs.c whenever

3138 * Added pf_new_pes in plugins
3139 * Fix in the SCR parser for high values.
3140 * Fixed a bug with DVD's SCR (too close from the PTS).
3141 * Generation d'un makefile presque correct pour les vieilles versions de make
3142 Nettoyage: gestion des dependances pour les plugins, suppressions de pas
3143 mal de redondances, options de compilations coherentes, etc...
3144 * Code to manage es_descriptors and program_descriptors, from benny's
3146 * VLAN support modified.
3147 * We now correctly parse MPEG-1 SCR and there is no need to kludge to read
3148 the stream at the right pace.
3149 * Fixed a bug in the synchro with non-P5/B1 streams.
3150 * Support for MPEG-1 .mpg files.
3151 * Fixed a bug in the synchro with non-P5/B1 streams.

3181 * Added a 'f' shortcut to switch between Windowed and Fullscreen
3183 * Added --broadcast option for network input.
3184 * Screen is now emptied when framebuffer output exits.
3185 * Totally new frame dropping algorithm.

3194 * Added alsa audio support (plugin)
3195 * vlc is now compiled without the STATS mode by default.
3196 * Fixed a bug which made frames go backwards with some displays (the
3197 video_decoder thread is now niced).
3198 * Added intf_WarnMsg(), and made use of it in the most needed places.
3201 Mon, 28 Aug 2000 02:34:18 +0200
3203 * fixed the support for field pictures, which involved a few dozens
3204 bugs in the video parser and video decoder.
3205 * put names of authors under a lot of source files, for historical
3207 * fixed another input_file exit bug for the beos version.
3208 * fixed the aliases install.
3209 * renamed an inconsistent variable in src/input/input_file.c.

3213 * fixed a motion compensation bug for skipped macroblocks.
3214 * fixed a synchro bug for field images.
3215 * cleaned Octplane's crappy indentation.

3246 * removed an unused variable in the MMX YUVs.
3247 * fixed 32bpp MMX YUV, made the comments clearer, removed an emms.
3248 * now scaling is on by default, so that people won't tell that the vlc
3249 cannot do scaling :-)
3250 * fixed a few long lines.
3252 * fixed the fscked up Bresenham algorithm in all YUV functions.
