8 * ./src/misc/modules_plugins.h: implemented a dlerror()-like wrapper
10 * ./configure.in: fixed a bug in the libdvdread detection.
11 * ./configure.in: fixed plugin compilation under Win32.
12 * ./vlc.spec: imported MandrakeSoft's enhancements.
13 * ./doc/developer/decoders.xml: fixed a typo preventing compilation.
14 * ./plugins/aa/aa.c: we now parse the AAOPTS environment variable.
15 * ./plugins/aa/aa.c: a few simplifications in the code.
16 * ./configure.in: wrote a better test for libdvdread detection.
17 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade: added lines this #@%$! Glade had munched, fixes
18 a segfault in the Gtk+ popup menu when toggling the interface.
19 * ./plugins/motion/motion.c: fixed a compilation issue on compilers which
20 do not accept empty macro arguments.
23 Sat, 6 Apr 2002 04:27:50 +0200
25 * ./doc/release-howto.txt: updated documentation.
26 * ./vlc.spec: added missing plugin filenames to the build process.
27 * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.dfm: swapped two mixed up tooltips.
28 * ./Makefile: fixed make dist and make distclean.
29 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: compilation fix.
30 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: fixed ejection code.
31 * ./plugins/text/ncurses.c: fixed compilation of the ncurses plugin.
32 * ./vlc.spec: updated specfile.
33 * ./Makefile, ./configure.in: misc BeOS build fixes.
34 * ./plugins/win32/win32.cpp: fixed `--intf intfwin' which wasn't working.
35 * ./Makefile: we don't include the Gtk+ and SDL DLLs in the win32 package
36 anymore, the package is now 700k instead of 4MB.
37 * ./configure.in, ./Makefile, ./Makefile.opts.in: replaced LIB_FOO with
38 foo_LDFLAGS and CFLAGS_BAR with bar_CFLAGS for faster builds, and moved a
39 lot of stuff from Makefile.opts.in back to configure.in.
40 * ./install-win32: updated script for NSIS 1.96.
41 * ./configure.in: added --enable-intfwin to enable the win32 interface and
42 --with-bcbuilder to tell make where to find Borland C++ Builder.
43 * ./plugins/win32/intfwin.bpr: we now build intfwin.so at the right place.
44 * ./plugins/win32/Makefile: intfwin.so can be built using commandline.
45 * ./configure.in, ./include/threads.h, ./include/common.h: a custom defs.h
46 file isn't needed for the intfwin plugin anymore.
47 * ./INSTALL.win32: updated compilation instructions for the intfwin plugin.
48 * ./AUTHORS: added ipkiss.
49 * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: disabled the "hide interface" menu
50 item, not yet implemented.
51 * ./plugins/win32/about.dfm: replaced the outdated author list with a
52 "VideoLAN Team" entry.
53 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade, plugins/gtk/gnome.glade, ./plugins/kde/kde.cpp:
54 replaced the outdated author list with a "VideoLAN Team" entry.
55 * ./debian/rules, ./debian/control: deactivated the vlc-kde package because
56 it does not work, and removed the vlc-a52 package because liba52 is
57 statically linked into vlc.
58 * ./debian/control: added more helpful package descriptions.
59 * ALL: changed version to 0.3.0. Yeah, it's coming.
60 * ./Makefile: fixed make dist.
61 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a vout4 image starvation bug.
62 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: we look for libdvdcss.so.2 as well as -.so.1.
63 * ./configure.in: BSD/OS fixes thanks to Steven M. Schultz.
64 * ./Makefile: renamed the `snapshot' rule to `dist'.
65 * ./Makefile: removed the `snapshot-nocss' rule which isn't needed anymore.
66 * ./Makefile.modules: modules now depend on Makefile.opts.
67 * ./configure.in: added (hopefully) explicit messages on how to get
68 libdvdcss and link vlc with it.
69 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: removed inclusion of dvd_udf.h.
70 * ./plugins/win32/*: Added management for secondary config dialogs
71 * ./plugins/ogg/*: added preliminary files for an Ogg/Vorbis decoder a
72 contributor is currently working on.
73 * ALL: removed libdvdcss from the vlc tree.
74 * ALL: removed libdvdread from the vlc tree.
75 * ./acconfig.h: removed this file.
76 * ./plugins/dvd/dummy_dvdcss.c: merged this file into dvd.c.
77 * ./AUTHORS: moved a few gentlemen to the libdvdcss AUTHORS file.
78 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: use the dvd_device config option.
79 * ./po/ja.po: added Japanese translation from Fumio Nakayama
80 <endymion@ca2.so-net.ne.jp>.
81 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: fixed disc ejection code.
82 * ./include/threads.h: new pthread implementation for WinNT/2K/XP. This
83 implementation shouldn't be subject to race conditions as it is using
84 SignalObjectAndWait() from the Win32 API. As this should be somehow slower
85 than the old method (still used on Win9x), you can specify that you want
86 to use the old method with the "fast_pthread" config option.
87 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: added a new p_main_sys global variable. This
88 variable is a pointer to an OS specific structure which is defined in
89 *_specific.h. This structure can be filled by the already existing
90 System_Init() function and is a nice way to avoid too many #ifdefs.
91 * ./include/defs.h.in: got rid of the DVD_DEVICE macro. We now use the
92 dvd_device config option. This creates a small memory leak as we don't free
93 the string obtained from config_GetPszVariable, but I think we can live
95 * ./configure.in: the SSE plugins are disabled on the mingw32 build as they
96 don't work (because memalign is not implemented on win32, and malloc only
97 aligns on an 8 bytes boundary).
98 * ./INSTALL.win32: fixed a small mistake.
99 * ./include/config.h: fixed config directory name for windows.
100 * ./plugins/win32: the network dialog now respects the preferences settings.
101 * ./src/input/input_ext-plugins.c: compilation fix. :-ppppp
102 * ./plugins/memcpy/fastmemcpy.h: AltiVec-enabled version of fastmemcpy.
103 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: use ImageBuffer instead of ScreenBuffer in
104 OS X video output (should be faster).
105 * ./src/interface/main.c: check that channels have been created before
106 the call to network_ChannelJoin.
107 * ./plugins/win32/*: fixed a few bugs in the preferences.
108 * ./plugins/win32/*: better auto-resizing of the main window.
109 * ./plugins/win32/*: the disc dialog now respects the preferences settings.
110 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: small compilation fix.
111 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: added a test for the nooverlay option.
112 * ./include/config.h: changed directory of the config file for BeOS to be
113 consistant with OS standard.
114 * ./configure.in: BeOS, liba52 and chroma plugin compilation fixes.
115 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: removed a warning.
116 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: Solaris fixes by Meuuh.
117 * ./FAQ: removed outdated stuff.
118 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed yet another bug related to the event
120 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: removed a few debug messages.
121 * ./extras/Win32_msvc/*: Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 6 project files. This
122 is useful mainly for debugging as the hardware accelerated plugins can't
123 be compiled with msvc.
124 * ./plugins/downmix/ac3_downmix_sse.c, ./plugins/downmix/ac3_downmix_3dn.c:
125 Win32 compilation fixes when downmixsse and downmix3dn are declared as
127 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed the waiting on the event thread
128 creation in the directx plugin.
129 * ./Makefile: updated the "package-win32" rule.
130 * ./install-win32: all txt files are now converted to dos format (CRLF).
131 * ./doc/win32/Cross-Compile-Howto.txt: VLC-Win32 Cross-Compile Howto,
132 courtesy of Bill Eldridge.
133 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: improved overlay detection, default colour
135 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: allow the user to resize the configuration
137 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: moved config_GetIntVariable out of the
139 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: you can now set a maximum height for the
140 configuration windows in the gtk and gnome plugins. This patch _doesn't
141 change_ the look of the interface unless this interface tries to use more
142 space than allowed, in which case scrollbars are added to make the
143 navigation easy. Note that this setting only affects the default size the
144 interface will use, the user is then free to change the size of the window
146 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: tooltips are now triggered only in
147 specific places. This is a lot less intrusive and annoying for the users.
148 * ./plugins/win32: fixed the bug on exiting the vout pressing 'q'.
149 * ./plugins/beos/*: implemented an "always-on-top" feature for the interface
150 window, RGB16 Overlay supported again, resizing is now implemented
152 * ./plugins/win32: subtitles should work, now.
153 * ./plugins/access/udp.c: disabled the server argument in udpstream: because
154 it confuses users and is not of any practical use.
155 * ./src/interface/main.c: fix for sparc.
156 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: don't try to stat() the dvd drive letter on
158 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: disabled YUV overlay double buffering for
159 now, as it seems to actually be slower.
160 * ./include/threads.h: temporary fix in vlc_cond_signal() for win32 (I really
161 should use SignalObjectAndWait() on WinNT so we can avoid race conditions
162 in the pthread code). This fixes a problem noticed on WinXP where vlc would
163 freeze regularly and eat-up all the CPU (fun no?).
164 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: when unselecting an ES, we must ged rid of
165 p_es->p_pes so that it is regererated when we select this ES again. It made
166 vlc segfault when switching from some stream to another, or when switching
167 program in satellite input.
168 * ./plugins/access/udp.c: UDP access plug-in can now receive MPTS (Multiple
169 Program TS) and switch programs.
170 * ./plugins/macosx/*: audio and video output go to time-constrained
171 scheduling [OS X port].
172 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: some dirty ifdefs for a nicer gnome
173 interface (gnome buttons, gnome dialogs).
174 * ./po/nl.po: translation of user interface messages to Netherlands.
175 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: new options "gtk_hide_toltips"
176 or "gnome_hide_tooltips". Tooltips are enabled by default. This option is
177 only considered on module initialization.
178 * ./configure.in: GNU make detection.
179 * ./extras/MacOSX/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib/objects.nib: deleted
180 non-working fullscreen menu item [OS X].
181 * ./plugins/access/http.c, ./plugins/access/udp.c: udp and http no longer
182 modify p_input->psz_name.
183 * ALL: various little portability fixes.
184 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: changed the behaviour of the config file:
185 now all the config options are saved. <string> config options which have
186 no default value are also saved in the config file but as an empty string,
187 and config_LoadConfigFile will ignore empty config options, which also
188 means we cannot pass an empty string as a <string> config option. (this
189 shouldn't matter anyway).
190 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: modified the gtk interface to save an
191 empty <string> option as a NULL pointer.
192 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: modified config_LoadConfigFile to consider an
193 empty <string> option as a NULL pointer.
194 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: save button (inadvertently suppressed).
195 * ./plugins/win32: added toolbar icons (thanks xav), we can no longer edit
196 plugin names in the preferences :)
197 * ./plugins/win32: the tool button for playlist is now a toggle button.
198 * ./plugins/beos/InterfaceWindow.cpp: disabled controls if the playlist was
200 * ./plugins/win32/*: added a win32 interface plugin, developed with Borland
201 C++ Builder. To build the plugin, follow the instructions in
203 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: fixed an ugly structure, the tabs are not
204 verticaly expanded as they were, small enhancements.
205 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk_common.h: new
207 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: modifications of some widgets, the
208 structure, cosmetic changes.
209 * ./src/interface/main.c: typos, a couple of new descriptions.
210 * ./src/interface/main.c: moved the "display" option from main to the
211 relevant plugins. ( We now have the x11_display, xvideo_display,
212 xmga_display and ggi_display options ).
213 * ./INSTALL-win32.txt: fixed a little omission.
214 * ./src/plugins/gtk/*: fixed a bug that made vlc segfault when choosing a
215 program, change to another and come back to the first one.
216 * ./src/plugins/gtk/*: added gtk and gnome interfaces for satellite input. We
217 should find a way to hide the button if satellite support is not compiled.
218 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: implemented correct scaling and used new
219 window size variables. Beta always on top for the interface window. New
221 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: fixed a problem in the MacOS X aout which
222 caused the previously played audio frames to be played when there were no
223 new frames available.
224 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: MacOS X vout now uses the height/width
225 calculated in video_output.c.
226 * ./configure.in: Win32 fix.
227 * ./configure.in: miscellaneous fixes for the OS X port.
228 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: the calculation for the initial video
229 window dimensions is now done in video_output.c and made available into
230 p_vout->i_window_height/width. This allows to get rid of duplicated code
231 and unify the behaviour of the video output plugins. (not all the plugins
232 have been modified because I didn't want to break anything).
233 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: moved GetConfigurationFromCmdLine() into
234 configuration.c and renamed it to config_LoadCmdLine().
235 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: config_GetHomeDir doesn't use getpwuid_r
236 anymore as this was creating some problems on solaris. This function now
237 uses getpwuid and is called only once to store the home directory into the
239 * ./plugins/satellite/*: added satellite input. It works with WinTV Nova
240 card, and siemens 0.9.4 drivers from www.linuxtv.org.
241 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: fixed stupid bug in stupid
242 ConvertPrintfFormatString() function.
243 * ./plugins/win32/waveout.c: fixed the "waveout not closing" bug. We need to
244 reset the waveout device before closing it.
245 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: fixed a bus error on UltraSparc.
246 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: Win32 and Solaris compilation fix.
247 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: improved scaling, correct aspect ratio even
248 in full screen mode, duplicate code reduces and framework for Overlay and
249 OpenGL modes in place.
250 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: kludge to allow the ALSA module to be
251 compiled as a plugin. Please test.
252 * ./include/modules.h: fixed a C++ warning.
253 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: VCD raw device fix, courtesy of Steven Schultz.
254 * ./configure.in: better IPv6 detection. IPv6 is disabled under MacOS X (no
256 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed some bugs in program management:
257 selected ESs must be attached to the selected program.
258 * ./plugins/aa: aalib output plugin courtesy of Sigmund Augdal.
259 * ./configure.in: fixed a few bashisms.
260 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed build under Solaris.
261 * ./TODO: updated todo list.
262 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: fixed a memory leak.
263 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_pool.c: fixed a memory leak.
264 * plugins/win32/waveout.c: fixed typo.
265 * ./configure.in: BeOS compilation fixes.
266 * ./debian/rules: activated (broken) KDE interface.
267 * ./plugins/access/http.c: fixed a segfault.
268 * ./plugins/alsa/aout_alsa.c: fixed a segfault.
269 * ./include/common.h: fixed the compilation fix for Borland C++ :)
270 * ./include/common.h: compilation fix for Borland C++.
271 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: MacOS X aout now uses AudioConverter for
273 * ./plugins/macosx/*: Various MacOS X intf improvements and bug fixes.
274 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb8.c: fixed a warning.
275 * ./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: fixed chroma deinterlacing.
276 * ./plugins/kde/kde.cpp: the KDE interface compiles again.
277 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_es.c: fixed a segfault I introduced today.
278 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: cosmetic fix.
279 * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a typo in the --help output.
280 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: fixed a segfault in the vlcs communication; still
281 unstable but solving other bugs won't do any good without rewriting the
282 whole playlist code. Which I'm doing right now.
283 * ./configure.in: MacOS X compile fixes.
284 * ./src/input/input.c: skip "//" if we find "://" in a resource we have to
285 play : this allows us touse the syntax udpstream://host.
286 * ./extras/MacOSX_dvdioctl: removed outdated files.
287 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: fixed an infinite loop error.
288 * ./plugins: fixed segfaults in various demux plugins.
289 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: SDL_VIDEODRIVER can be specified from the
290 command line; try "--vout sdl:aalib"
291 * ./configure.in: fixed linking of the ipv4 plugin.
292 * ./configure.in: DirectX plugin is now correctly detected and configured.
293 * ./BUGS: updated bug list.
294 * ./configure.in: ./configure --help should be a lot clearer now.
295 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb8.c: plain C 8 bpp transformation.
296 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: plain C 24/32 bpp transformations.
297 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
298 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
299 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
300 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault.
301 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: added an alternate fullscreen method. With this
302 method, _nothing_ is allowed to be displayed on top of the video
303 (especially not taskbars, etc...). Of course this can also be annoying
304 sometimes, this is why it's an option.
305 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: small fix for the config file. The parser
306 assumes that the config file is divided into sections (a section is the
307 config data for a plugin and begins with something like [foo]), so the
308 comment for the beginning of the section must be after the section marker
310 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: tidied code and prevented curruption on
311 window not containing the video. Video window now returns to correct size
312 and position after toggling full screen.
313 * ./configure.in: more modules are plugins.
314 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: changed ~/.VideoLan/vlc to ~/.videolan/vlcrc,
315 and a few cosmetic changes (sorry Gildas for the butchery).
316 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: C version of the I420 to RV15/16 chroma.
317 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: this the last piece of the new configuration
318 module. You can now save your configuration options (only from the
319 gtk/gnome interface for now). The config file will be saved as
321 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: we now analyze the subtitle image
322 data to find the border color and the inner colors when there was
323 no way to find the palette data (network stream).
324 * ./plugins/mpeg_system: fixed a parsing bug I introduced yesterday.
325 * ./Makefile: fixed OS X vlc.app compilation dependencies.
326 * ./configure.in: fixed the endianness check under Solaris.
327 * ./src/input/input.c: strings are now initialized to "" instead of NULL.
328 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: we now properly support the subtitle
329 palette information we get from the DVD. Subtitles rox !
330 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: removed all DVD-specific routines
331 and put them into spu_decoder.c.
332 * ./plugins/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: removed an ugly loop.
333 * ./plugins/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: moved iec958/spdif encapsulation from
334 ac3_spdif to aout_spdif. It will eventually allows to use ac3_adec or a52
336 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: fixed chapter selection at startup.
337 * ./src/input/input_dec.c: p_es->p_demux_data is available in
338 p_config->p_demux_data so that the input can pass information directly to
339 the decoder. First application: aspect ratio for DVD is read from the ifo
340 (should fix the buf with aspect ratio in anamorphic DVDs).
341 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c: the DVD plugin also copies the spu yuv palette in
342 p_demux_data so that the spudec can display subtitle with the right color
344 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: removed duplicate code and useless lock in gtk.
345 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed EOF and Stop segfault in VCD input:
346 input_BuffersEnd was being called twice.
347 * ./AUTHORS: updated Tony Castley's e-mail.
348 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: new resizing and scaling code. More in line
350 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: a52 plugin updated to use liba52-0.7.3 (which is now
351 available in debian :)
352 * ./src/interface/main.c: new configuration option to choose audio output
353 format at runtime. It allows to select spdif pass-through decoder with
354 --ac3_adec and to remove the ugly b_ac3 in main.h. As a consequence --spdif
355 doesn't work anymore: you should use --ac3_adec pass.
356 * ./src/interface/main.c: return the option name in error message for
357 unknown option intead of the argument.
358 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: gtk config interface modified so you can
359 only have one instance of a plugin config dialog box displayed at one time.
360 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: new GTK configuration interface. This
361 interface is generated dynamically at run-time from the configuration data
362 contained in each plugin.
363 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: config_PutPszVariable and config_GetPszVariable
365 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: few modifications/optimizations to the config
367 * ./include/config.h: got rid of all the _VAR macros in config.h.
368 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: added missing include (MacOS X port).
369 * ./plugins/dvd/*: fixed EOF segfault at end of DVD.
370 * ./src/input/input.c: buffer manager is renintialised at area change.
371 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c, ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: we now exit more
372 cleanly on initialization error.
373 * ./plugins/dvd/*: rewrote most functions in DVD plugin. Some old bugs might
374 have been solved in the operation. The plugin some be more readable now,
375 and should produce fewaer segfaults (I hope so :p)
376 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: added some tests in open.
377 * ./plugins/alsa/aout_alsa.c: spdif support in the ALSA plugin.
378 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: when reaching the end of a track, moves to the
380 * ./src/interface/main.c: disabled the GNOME segfault dialog in debug
381 mode. We want nice, clean segfaults, with huge core files and a lot
383 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: I hope you liked this bug: DVD demux was always used.
384 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_demux.c: fixed demux plugin selection.
385 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: take the lock on stream in VCDInit. Please
386 test, as I don't have any VCD to do it.
387 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_parse.c: ac3dec is now less verbose.
388 * ./src/interface/interface.c: fixed a deadlock when seeking the
389 stream using the keyboard arrows.
390 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_display.c: removed an occurance of former angle item in
392 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: fixed a bug
393 in ES management introduced lately in DVD/DvdRead.
394 * ./plugins/dvd/*: beginning of reorganisation in DVD plugin source files,
395 in order to try to make it easier to understand. There is some work left
397 * ./plugins/vcd/vcd.c: decreased the score for VCD plugin, as the VCD demuxer
398 was used even for DVD :p. It should make autodetection work.
399 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: modified vcd input for the new input III. Still
400 have problems with end of tracks.
401 * ./plugins/vcd/vcd.c: modified the command line, as stef did for the DVD.
402 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: DVD demux was no longer selected under win32.
403 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: DVD angle
404 is now handled through a program structure, so that the interface needs
405 nothing specific to change angle.
406 * ./src/input/input_clock.c: fixed a bug in clock management where ES without
407 a program couldn't get timestamped.
408 * ./plugins/gtk/*: fixed program management in gnome/gtk. Program now also
410 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: in interface, only display ES associated with
411 the selected program, or with no program at all.
412 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed typo in the win32 change to the input parser.
413 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: more complete
414 command line parsing for DVD, hopefully working this time.
415 * ./plugins/network/ipv6.c: IPv6 network module, courtesy of Alexis Guillard
416 <alexis.guillard@bt.com>, for BT.
417 * ./src/interface/main.c: --6 and --4 options to force IPv6 or IPv4 (FIXME:
418 it should be -6 and -4 but I don't know how to do it with the new
419 configuration module).
420 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: channel manager now uses a socket from the network
421 plug-in and is more portable (and probably broken, too :)
422 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ps.c, ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c:
423 input_ReadPS and input_ReadTS are now in mpeg_system.c to be more easily
424 reused by plug-ins other than mpeg_ps and mpeg_ts.
425 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: we now make sure the aout plugin buffers
426 always contain between AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION/2 and AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION*3/2
427 worth of audio. This should solve the audio buffer underruns.
428 * ./src/input/input.c: fix for the bug in input when filename contains a '@'
430 * ./src/input/input.c: simplified the win32 specific changes to the input
431 parser. (I think we can safely assume that no access plugin name will have
432 a length of one character).
433 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: DVD access plugin is only called if specified under
434 windows (no automatic detection).
435 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: replaced setenv with putenv.
436 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_open.c: fixed a bug in gtk.
437 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: new command line for DVD, to get rid of global
438 options input_title or so.
439 * ./Makefile: added network to the list of the plugins directories.
440 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: fixed DVD input under Win32.
441 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed input parser under win32, which couldn't
442 understand that c:\windows\bureau is a valid file and doesn't need to be
443 accessed with the plugin 'C' :-)
444 * ./AUTHORS: added xav.
445 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: got rid of int_types.h and did a few changes
446 Ipkiss will need. Hope I did not break other platforms.
447 * ./include/common.h: fixed compilation problem related to ssize_t.
448 * ./include/common.h: various Win32 compilation fixes.
449 * ./include/input_ext-plugins.h: DVD compiles, but doesn't work yet.
450 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: fixed some typos in my previous Win32 multicast
452 * ./plugins/dummy/input_dummy.c: fixed `vlc vlc:quit'.
453 * ./src/input/input.c: initialized uninitialized variables.
454 * ./src/input/input.c: initialize p_access_module & p_demux_modules to NULL
455 when input thread is created.
456 * ./po/no.po: Norwegian translation by Sigmund Augdal. Berdå ka pø tüt.
457 * ./src/misc/modules.c: shortcuts for --intf work again, gvlc launches the
458 Gtk interface, qvlc launches the Qt interface, etc.
459 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: we now have sound together with --aout scope.
460 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: removed numerous
462 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: multicast under Win32 now works with the new
464 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: dvd and dvdread support
466 * ./src/input/*, ./plugins/network/*, ./plugins/access/*: Input III
467 (Episode 1). Major rewrite of the buffer core functions, modularity of
468 access plugins (file, udp, http), modularity of network stack (ipv4, soon
469 ipv6), autodetection of the type of stream.
470 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_headers.c: we no longer crash when the next
471 stream doesn't have the same image size as the previous one.
472 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c: another overrun fix; please test.
473 * ./configure.in: fixed a plugins/dsp.so compilation issue under OpenBSD.
474 * ./plugins/dsp/aout_dsp.c: OpenBSD compilation fix.
475 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault on exit.
476 * ./src/input/input.c: BeOS network support (no idea if it works when you
477 don't have BONE, though).
478 * ./include/common.h: BeOS compile fixes.
479 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: fixed BeOS video output.
480 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed uninitialized variable in
482 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: char pointers obtained by
483 config_GetPszVariable need to be freed.
484 * ./src/interface/main.c: forgot to add the declaration of server_port.
485 * ./src/input/input.c: multicast now works under Win32, but this is a _bad_
487 * ./include/threads.h: support for the State Threads Library, a userland
488 threads library (http://state-threads.sourceforge.net/). Useless to most
489 people, but can be handy to debug stuff. Activate with `--enable-st'.
490 * ./plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c,
491 ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: adaptation to new configuration scheme for dvd,
493 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: removed CVS garbage.
494 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: fixed a compile issue on IA64.
495 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: new toy plugin, an audio scope module.
496 * ./src/audio_output/aout_spdif.h: replacement header for aout_common.h.
497 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: fixed a quite old bug in the audio
498 output which made the sound stutter when wrapping around the audio output
500 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: lots of simplifications in the audio
501 output, got rid of b_stereo.
502 * ./plugins/gtk/*: added a menu in the GTK and gnome interfaces to change
503 the current program in multi-program streams (such as ones provided by a
505 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: new configuration architecture for vlc.
506 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: fixed array over-run bug in intf_MsgUnsub.
507 * ./configure.in: don't try to grok altivec with mingw32.
508 * ./configure.in: --with-directx-path should now indicate the path where the
509 actual headers are (before the headers had to be in an include subdir). By
510 the way you can download these header files from the videolan web site.
511 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: if symbol foo isn't found in the
512 plugin, we always try to open _foo, whatever the architecture.
513 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: non-blocking patch from Sigmund Augdal
514 <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>; hope this time my enhancements don't break
516 * ./configure.in: gtk*-config detection fix for FreeBSD.
517 * ./configure.in: removed a bashism.
518 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for systems without shm.h.
519 * ALL: QNX compilation fixes here and there; the qnx plugin still doesn't
521 * ./Makefile: the win32 port now uses a more recent version of gtk+.
522 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: the log window is now black with colourful text.
523 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c: ported the log window to the GNOME interface.
524 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: messages are sent to the queue even if
525 -vvvv* wasn't specified.
526 * ./plugins/vcd/cdrom_tools.c: MacOS X VCD support.
527 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.: various fixes, thanks to Sigmund Augdal.
528 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: rewrote an ugly loop.
529 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: added a Gtk+ window containing all the log
530 messages; updated in real time. To open it, go to "view"->"messages".
531 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: got rid of TRACE and intf_DbgMsg which were
533 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: all intf_*Msg functions now write to stderr.
534 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: implemented a message queue interface plugins
536 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: wrote the logger interface plugin. Usage:
537 vlc -I logger:filename.log.
538 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: lots of fixes in the SPU renderer.
539 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a typo in aspect ratio
541 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: MacOS X vout improvements.
542 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_macosx.c: MacOS X intf now returns, allowing vlc to
544 * ./Makefile: added a new make target: package-macosx.
545 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: Win32 compilation fixes (mingw includes
547 * ./configure.in: configure now checks for ddraw.h and not directx.h.
548 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: don't include directx.h anymore (this
549 file isn't part of the directx sdk).
550 * ./plugins/waveout/waveout.c: moved all the stuff from aout_waveout.c
551 directly into waveout.c (I don't know what I was thinking about when I
552 created these two files ;-)
553 * ./plugins/waveout/waveout.c: until we fix the audio buffer underrun
554 problem, waveout will be the default audio output on win32 (instead of
556 * ALL: got rid of *_Probe functions because most of them were duplicates
557 of the real _Init or _Create functions. That's 1000 lines of code gained.
558 * ./src/misc/modules.c: we try not to keep the global lock in module_Need,
559 which should speed up output spawning.
560 * ./plugins/dummy/input_dummy.c: fixed vlc:quit command.
561 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: compilation fix.
562 * ./plugins/macosx/*: preliminary fixes for the vout4 port.
563 * ./plugins/gtk/*: Win32 fixes.
564 * ./plugins/beos/*: BeOS fixes from Rudolf Cornelissen.
565 * ./src/interface/main.c: --desync now really accepts a value in ms.
566 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed a crash when not opening a VCD.
567 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: fixed subtitles under BeOS and
568 other architectures which don't support overlay.
569 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: compilation fix (include stdint.h).
570 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: fixed a SEGV.
571 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: ported the BeOS RGB video output to
572 vout4. The overlay video output still needs to be written though.
573 * ./plugins/a52/*: just renamed the liba52_adec plugin into a52 to comply
574 with the naming convention used by the other plugins.
575 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: IR remote control plugin by Sigmund Augdal
576 <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>, activate with --enable-lirc.
577 * ./configure.in: put liba52_adec in a builtin for PIC/non-PIC reasons.
578 * ./plugins/liba52_adec/*: new AC3 decoder plugin using liba52 from Aaron
579 Holtzman and Michel Lespinasse. This plugin isn't used by default, you
580 have to specify: --ac3_adec liba52.
581 * ./src/misc/modules.c: changed module_Need to make it possible to
582 have several modules with the same shortcut name.
583 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_open.c: fixed a bug in the network dialog.
584 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: added mstrtime() to module_symbols_t so we
585 can compile the mpeg_vdec plugin with TRACE mode enabled.
586 * ./plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c: fixed ac3_spdif which has been broken
588 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: check frequency in ac3_adec and change fifo
590 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: moved initialisation of p_aout from
591 plugins to audio_output.c; if audio output rate is specified at launch
592 time, we try to use it by default.
593 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: MMX YUV to RGB transformation for 15bpp.
594 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: added double-buffering for the directx
595 plugin in overlay mode.
596 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: several directx bug-fixes: implemented
597 the right behaviour on exit, fixed bug preventing the creation of several
598 windows (the wall filter is working now :-)), fixed unnecessary background
599 redraws (it made the video flicker), fixed bug where we were losing the
600 video display because of lost surfaces in video memory, when using hardware
601 overlay, the output window will now specify "(using hardware overlay)".
602 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: we don't use DPMS functions if they are
604 * ./plugins/win32/waveout.c: added a new very simple audio plugin for
605 Win32. This plugin uses the waveOut API which is a lot easier to use for
606 streaming stuff than directsound. (you don't have to take care of
607 underflows anymore because it doesn't use circular buffers). If you are
608 having a lot of underflows, this plugin is currently better adapted than
610 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: moved some initialization stuff in
611 audio_out.c so we can know the caracteristics of the audio stream before
613 * ./configure.in, Makefile: configure and Makefile tweaking for dvdread
615 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: fixed a missing function initialization
616 which made decoder plugins segfault in GetChunk calls.
617 * ./configure.in: proper soundcard.h check from Yves Duret.
618 * ./plugins/mpeg_adec/mpeg_adec.c: enabled --stereo option for streams that
619 pretend to be mono while they are not.
620 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: fixed an alignment issue in the ac3 decoder.
621 * ./src/input/input_dec.c: decoders do not necessarily use bit stream (see
623 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: mad PTS should finally be accurate.
624 * ./configure.in: some configure changes.
625 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: libmad_input now takes one frame at a time (see
626 mad_adec.h for defines)
627 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: audio_linear_dither() gives better sound
628 quality then s24_to_s16_pcm(), but also makes audio artefacts louder so
630 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: cleaned up libmad_output.
631 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: cleaned up InitThread.
632 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.h: made buffer size match libmad's expectations.
633 * ./plugins/mad/DESIGN: updated documentation.
634 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed crashes on exit in the directx
636 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: vout_PlacePicture is now accepting
637 picture width=height=0.
638 * ./configure.in: added extra checks for strange compilers such as
639 Borland C++ which do not support all gcc options. Note that vlc does
640 not compile with bcc32 yet, but is getting closer and closer to.
641 * ./plugins/win32: skeleton for the win32 interface Ipkiss is developing.
642 * ./config.guess ./config.sub: latest GNU versions.
643 * ./configure.in: when possible, xvideo is compiled as a plugin.
644 * ./vlc.spec: fixed a few minor inaccuracies.
645 * ./debian/control: vlc-gui is no longer depended on, but rather recommended.
646 * ./src/interface/main.c: --spumargin flag; use this to force displaying
647 subtitles at the bottom of the screen instead of putting them in the
648 middle, for instance: `--spumargin 5'.
649 * ./plugins/qnx/qnx.c, ./plugins/macosx/macosx.c, ./plugins/beos/beos.cpp:
650 converted the plugin initialization code of the macosx, beos and qnx
651 code. (please note that they should still not compile as they need
652 to be adapted to the new Vout4 architecture)
653 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: major rewrite of the directx video
654 plugin to adapt it to the new vout4 architecture. This plugin has also
655 been through a major clean-up and it is now much more robust and optimized.
656 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: fixed a few problems with the win32 build.
657 * ./src/interface/main.c: replaced the "overlay" command line option with
658 "nooverlay". The former was confusing and useless because overlays were
659 used by default anyway.
660 * ./vlc.spec: imported MandrakeSoft's new spec file.
661 * ./debian/control: fixed build-dependencies for vlc-mad.
662 * ./debian/rules: fixed the vlc-arts and vlc-mad package builds.
663 * ./plugins/gtk/{gtk|gnome}.c: the gnome/gtk interface should no longer use
664 p_input->stream before it has been initialized.
665 * ./src/input/input.c: stream lock is initialized in input_CreateThread
666 instead of initThread, to have it initialized when we call it in the
668 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: added support for S8 and U16 aout.
669 * ./debian/control: fixed Debian build-depends.
670 * ./include/config.h: changed RELEASE to HAVE_RELEASE because RELEASE
671 is already defined in <scsi/scsi.h> under Linux.
672 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: fixed issues in the PTS handling of the mad
673 plug-in (incomplete).
674 * ./src/input/input_ext-dec.c: more precise way to retrieve a PTS from the
676 * ./INSTALL.libmad: configure, build and install instructions for libmad
677 library and mad plugin.
678 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: smooth sound (not tested on iPaq).
679 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.c: le coup de grâce: all the code in audio
680 output is now factorized (except for ac3 spdif) in aout_common.c/.h.
681 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.h: aout thread functions are declared with
683 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: HUGE cleanings in audio output: removed
684 AOUT_INTF_*_FIFO, which where not used.
685 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.c: factored S16StereoPlay, U8MonoPlay, and
686 so on.., in a single function aout_FillBuffer (unsigned 8bit may be broken,
687 but I have no stream to test with :(
688 * ./configure.in: a few fixes for the Win32 build.
689 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed all the problems related to
691 * ./src/misc/modules.c: fixed a compile issue under platforms without
692 HAVE_DYNAMIC_PLUGINS.
693 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: MacOS X port.
694 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: 24/32 bpp software YUV.
695 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: activated double buffering.
696 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: we create more Xv pictures to
697 get smoother rendering.
698 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: removed aout_CreateFifo from mad_adec.c
699 InitThread() and added it to mad_libmad.c.
700 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: BSD compilation fix suggested by Steven M.
702 * ./src/audio_output/aout_s16.c: beginning of code factorization in
703 aout_s16 (more cleaning will come). As for libmad, I have tried to create
704 the aout fifo in libmad_output, to open it with the right sample rate, but
705 strangely it didn't work.
706 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed a few segfaults caused by the dummy plugin.
707 * ./plugins/mpeg_adec/mpeg_adec.c: fixed a segfault due to misuse of
709 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: replaced XFlush with XSync. This must be the
710 fourth time someone has to commit this, so I added a reminder :-)
711 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/input_ts.c: hopefully fixed a bug in TS input, that
712 caused a segfault when there was no network stream.
713 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: BSD/OS port by Steven M. Schultz.
714 * ./include/modules_inner.h: replaced _X with __VLC_SYMBOL because _X was
715 already a system macro under MacOS X.
716 * ./plugins/dummy/dummy.c: fixed vlc:loop, vlc:quit, etc. entries.
717 * ./plugins/glide/glide.c: activated double buffering.
718 * ./plugins/mga/xmga.c: started writing an xmga plugin; doesn't work yet.
719 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed the input memory leak, and the insane thread
720 spawning we got with vlc:loop.
721 * ./src/misc/intf_eject.c: disc ejection routine courtesy of Julien Blache,
722 currently Linux-only.
723 * ./src/audio_output/aout_ext-dec.c: better communication between audio
724 decoder and output: aout plugins are now opened directly in the right
725 mode (works with mpeg_adec and ac3_adec, not tested with mad).
726 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: first attempt to implement mono output
728 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: DVDRead plugins works again more or
729 less ; major bugs remain but it is usable. It is selected by default if
730 you have it compiled.
731 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_headers.c: fixed a bug in QuantMatrixExtension,
732 many thanks to "Thomas L. Wood" <twood@lucent.com> !
733 * ./debian/control: updated list of supported architectures.
734 * ./share/*: added 16x16 and 32x32 versions of PNG icons.
735 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: removed the mgammx module and put the code in
736 the chroma_i420_ymga module instead. This introduces a slight
737 performance issue as we now need to memcpy() the Y plane, but I have
738 some vout4 enhancements on their way which make this point moot.
739 * ./debian/changelog: imported official Debian changelog.
740 * ./debian/control: activated the vlc-mad and vlc-arts packages; package
741 builds should now work again.
742 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: solved a symbol resolution issue when vlc was
743 compiled without libdvdcss which overflowed the return stack.
744 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: ported the GGI plugin to vout4.
745 * ./plugins/glide/glide.c: ported the Glide plugin to vout4 (untested).
746 * ./src/input/input.c: prepared everything for multi-input mode; since
747 no interface is yet prepared to handle this, I changed them so that
748 they just use the first available input for now. This may break other
749 things, but I promise I'll eventually repair everything :-)
750 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: pipeline and cache optimizations.
751 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: MMX-accelerated version of the MGA plugin.
752 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/Makefile: little workaround for PA-Risc compilation.
753 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: optimized libmad_output() for smoother sound.
754 It is still not optimal.
755 * ./plugins/fb/fb.c: ported the framebuffer video output to vout4.
756 * ./src/audio_output/aout_s16.c: fixed a segfault. It may have unexpected
757 side effects because I don't know this part of the code, but at least
758 it doesn't crash anymore.
759 * ./plugins/beos/beos.cpp: first attempt at porting the BeOS plugin to the
760 new video output and module systems. Doesn't work nor even compile yet.
761 * ./configure.in: we now check the gtk-config version.
762 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: we use the MGA_VID_FSEL ioctl to select the
763 frame to be displayed. Unfortunately, increasing the number of
764 frames doesn't seem to work and makes the picture stutter...
765 * ./Makefile: fixed a bug when no builtins were selected.
766 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: ported the MGA video output to vout4. Only does YV12
767 for the moment, and there is a strange bug with some streams which gives
768 only a green image. Needs to be looked at.
769 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed a few typos.
770 * ./plugins/mad/DESIGN: updated documentation.
771 * ./plugins/mad/TODO: updated TODO list.
772 * ./plugins/mad/BUGS: updated documentation.
773 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.h: removed unused prototype from headerfile.
774 * ./configure.in: fix for obscure architectures like hppa where target_os
775 isn't properly detected.
776 * ./include/video_output.h: got rid of pf_setpalette; I'll find a nicer way.
777 * ./plugins/mga.c: fixed MGA module compilation. Doesn't work yet, though.
778 * ./include/common.h: hton64 is now an inline function.
779 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c et al.: vout4 now automatically
780 detects when two chroma formats are the same, such as UYVY/Y422, or
781 roughly equivalent, such as I420/YV12. Plugins need not worry about
783 * ./BUGS: added a list of known bugs. Please add your findings!
784 * ./MODULES: added a short description of each module. Maybe we should
785 add more details to make this file really useful.
786 * ./doc/bugreport-howto.txt: wishful thinking...
787 * ./Makefile: added a workaround for the fact that .c files don't depend
789 * ./plugins/memcpy/memcpy.c: all memcpy modules are now built from the same
791 * ./src/interface/main.c: added the --nommx, --no3dnow, --nommxext, --nosse
792 and --noaltivec options to vlc.
793 * ./configure.in: removed the --disable-mmx option, now useless because
794 of the vlc --no* options.
795 * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a crash caused by the memcpy module
796 being released too early.
797 * ./include/video.h: more vout4 changes, including margin support, more
798 FOURCC formats recognized, transparent support of identical or almost
799 identical FOURCC formats.
800 * ./include/video_output.h: added a vout_Render function to video output
801 modules which is to be executed before vout_Display.
802 * ./include/common.h: this header is back.
803 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed RGB conversion
804 functions, mostly taken from vout3's yuv functions, but heavily modified
805 to use FAST_MEMCPY and to handle image dimensions which are not multiples
806 of 16. Not all functions have been written yet, though.
807 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed YUV conversion
808 functions, various targets such as 4:2:2 YUYV, YVYU, UYVY, or 2:1:1 YUYV,
809 with accelerated MMX versions.
810 * ./plugins/chroma/i422_yuy2.c: same as i420_yuy2.c but takes planar YUV
811 4:2:2 pictures in input. With accelerated MMX versions as well. This plugin
812 makes it possible to display 4:2:2 files on most video cards without the
813 quality loss of 4:2:0 downsampling.
814 * ./plugins/filter/*: thanks to the vout_Render function, all filters now
815 output their data perfectly in sync.
816 * ./plugins/dvdread/Makefile: fix to prevent unnecessary target rebuilds.
817 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: support for YV12, UYVY, YUY2 and YVYU overlays.
818 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for I420, YV12, YUY2 and Y211 overlays.
819 * ./ChangeLog: imported the 0.2.92 changes, unrolled current CVS changes.
820 * ./include/config.h et al.: this file is no longer generated.
821 * ./include/video.h: we use the FOURCC definition of a chroma format to
822 describe picture types (see http://www.webartz.com/fourcc/).
823 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: compilation fix by Eyal Lebedinsky.
824 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the XShm operations order.
825 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: small optimizations.
826 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: removed unused code.
827 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: your old window position and size are now restored
828 when you come out of fullscreen mode.
829 * ./plugins/esd/esd.c: fixed detection of the esd plugin.
830 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/input_ts.c: fixed the ts plugin's input type
832 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the BadCursor error in the x11 and xvideo
833 plugins. For real this time (unlike my 2001/08/03 fix :p).
834 * ./plugins/filter/wall.c: made the wall filter work a bit better. It now
835 spawns a 3x2 mosaic, but this will eventually be configurable, Ã la
837 * ./plugins/arts/arts.c: fixed the aRts audio output plugin.
838 * ./configure.in: removed duplicate function checks.
839 * ./Makefile.modules: added extra magic so that the module Makefiles are now
840 ridiculously simple. And I mean *simple*. Check it! This will make a
841 possible switch to full autoconf/automake a lot easier.
842 * ./include/modules_inner.h: added the vlc version name to the plugin
843 symbols, to be sure we only load plugins with the same version number. A
844 nasty consequence is that you need to rebuild your tree after midnight if
845 you are using a CVS tree :-)
846 * ./include/modules_export.h: got rid of modules_export.h by #defining
847 exported functions in the same header as their prototype.
848 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: added modules_inner.h and other commonly used .h
849 files to common.h so there are less and less files to include, and renamed
850 common.h to <videolan/vlc.h>.
851 * ./src/misc/tests.c: first modifications to the module handling system
852 towards my ultimate goal to get rid of the *_Probe functions. Got rid of
853 TestMethod and TestCPU, as well as src/misc/tests.c.
854 * ./plugins/chroma/yv12_rgb8.c, ./plugins/chroma/yv12_rgb16.c: wrote the
855 chroma plugin handling functions. No YUV functions have been ported yet
856 because it'ls a lot of work, but the core system works, I tried it with a
857 naive yv12->rgb16 plugin (which will disappear when the real functions are
859 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c: made a lot of functions one-liners to avoid
860 wasting too many output lines.
861 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: fixed a segfault in DVDInit.
862 * ./plugins/gtk/fixfiles.sh: Added a fixfiles.sh script to be run after Glade
863 has generated its C files.
864 * ./plugins/kde/*: did some work on the KDE interface to make it suck a bit
865 less. It still segfaults, but at least it runs and it looks less ugly.
866 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: RGB SDL rendering works again, though in 16bpp
868 * ./plugins/vcd/linux_cdrom_tools.c: made this file independent of any vlc
869 structure so that it'll be easily put in a library. Maybe libdvdcss?
870 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed VCD date display.
871 * ./plugins/x11/*: merged vout_xvideo.c, vout_x11.c and vout_common.c into
873 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: wrote non-Shm XVideo output.
874 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: made X11 output work again. Still pretty unstable,
875 only works for 16bpp.
876 * ./po/fr.po: additional french translation. Any taker for the rest?
877 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault when the allocated
878 pictures were not direct buffers.
879 * ./share/*: replaced 48x48 .xpm images with 32x32 ones to conform to Debian
880 policy (Closes Debian bug #126939).
881 * ./Makefile: removed the automatic ./configure launch when running
882 `make all' for the first time.
883 * ./plugins/filter/distort.c: --filter distort:ripple (Ok, ok, I promise it's
885 * ./configure.in: fixed compilation with dvdcss disabled.
886 * ./configure.in: fixed compilation with plugins disabled.
887 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: removed useless
888 variables in the VCD and DVD plugins.
889 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed a function which was returning
890 "struct foo" in the VCD plugin.
891 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the old « XVideo eats more and more CPU »
892 bug I mistakenly reintroduced in my first vout4 commit.
893 * ./src/misc/modules: we now stop at the first ':' when looking for a module
894 name, to easily pass information to the modules. Possible example:
895 --vout sdl:software, implementation of such an option is left as an
897 * ./plugins/filter/filter.c: merged filter_bob and filter_bob422 into
898 filter_bob. Use --filter bob to deinterlace 422 into 420 as well.
899 * ALL: factorized code common to most filters and the video output, optimized
900 a few filters by aligning data and reading 64 bits at a time.
901 * ./plugins/filter/transform.c, ./plugins/filter/distort.c: two new
902 absolutely useless, CPU-eating, resource-wasting, but fun filters: enjoy
903 `transform', which performs flips and 90° rotations, and `distort', which
904 performs animated image effects (currently only a naive sine wave is
905 implemented). Usage examples: --filter transform:hflip,
906 --filter transform:vflip, --filter transform:90, --filter transform:180,
907 --filter transform:270, --filter distort:wave.
908 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: added missing XSync() in the XVideo plugin.
909 * ./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: pathetic attempt at a 4:2:2 renderer and
910 deinterlacer, combining the most awful line dropping techniques of both BOB
911 and 422 to 420 downscaling. Don't worry, it should only survive for a
913 * ./plugins/filter/wall.c: new stupid plugin: "--filter wall" for split-image
914 playback :-) (will evolve into a real image wall plugin when I have time)
915 * ./plugins/filter/bob.c, ./plugins/filter/invert.c: filter plugins. Not very
916 polished (please don't look at how the dates are calculated!), but worth a
917 try. Use the following flags: "--filter invert" for inverse video,
918 "--filter bob" for BOB deinterlacing
919 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: buffer choice optimizations - vout4
920 should eat even less CPU now.
921 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed aspect ratio handling.
922 * ./src/interface/main.c: additional fixes for OSes with no gettext (thanks
924 * ./configure.in: don't try to use gettext if we don't have GNU gettext. This
925 may change in the future though (most GNU software seems to include a local
926 copy of gettext in case the operating system doesn't provide it).
927 * ./debian/rules, ./debian/control: added vlc-arts to the debian package
929 * ./po/ru.po: (very old) russian translation courtesy of Valek Filippov
931 * ./po/fr.po: fixed a charset issue in the french translation.
932 * ./config.guess, ./config.sub: updated these files from GNU's latest
934 * ./po/vlc.pot: added vlc.pot skeleton for translators.
935 * ./src/interface/intf_channels.c, ./include/keystrokes.h: removed unused
937 * ./include/common.h: put common_win32.h back into common.h -- it wasn't that
938 big and we should not multiply header files.
939 * ./src/interface/main.c: added gettext support by Thomas Graf
940 <reeler@reeler.org>, may be broken on other platforms but we'll only see
941 it when I'm finished with vout 4 :-)
942 * ./src/video_output/*: new video output version 4, featuring direct to YUV
943 buffer decoding, non-ugly subtitle blending, XVideo and SDL video output.
944 * ./plugins/spudec/*: renamed spu_dec to spudec and mad_adec to mad to stay
945 coherent with other plugins. Also, renamed mpeg to mpeg_system.
946 * ./AUTHORS: added jobi.
947 * ./plugins/x11/vout_common.c: factored code common to vout_x11.c and
951 Mon, 31 Dec 2001 19:50:40 +0100
953 * Added a missing call to DecoderError() in mpeg_adec.c.
954 * Fixed a segfault in the aRts plugin.
955 * Fixed a bug in DecoderError.
956 * Next Generation Buffer Manager.
957 * All decoders enter DecoderError() in case of error, even if they
958 haven't allocated all their data. This prevents the input from getting
959 stuck if a decoder has failed its initialization.
960 * Backported lool's fix for the Gtk+ playlist crash.
961 * If $DISPLAY isn't set, don't try to run the Gtk+ interface.
962 * Fixed a segfault in input_dvd.c:DVDInit.
963 * Fixed a PPC compilation issue.
964 * Mouse wheel seek patch for XVideo courtesy of Peter Surda.

972 * Initialize SDL before opening the SDL audio output.
973 * Prevent two SDL video outputs or audio outputs to be spawned at the
974 same time to avoid ugly crashes.
975 * TS input: bugfix in DecodePAT and minor optimizations elsewhere.
976 * TS input: we now check that the contents of the PAT has changed
977 before updating it, instead of just relying on its version number.
978 * Disabled broken ALSA audio output. Closes Debian bugs #110869 and #119846.
979 * Fixed build dependencies on libasound2-dev. Closes Debian bug #121057.
980 * Changed configure.in so that libXv_pic is used instead of libXv.a when
981 available. Closes Debian bug #111790.
982 * CPU detection under BeOS.
983 * Fixed XVideo port selection.

992 * Fixed a minor bug in input.c.
993 * Fixed an issue in Makefile.dep causing to rebuild unnecessary files
994 in the gtk/gnome plugins.

997 * Fixed possible segfault with --input.
998 * Fix for EOF of ES-only streams.
999 * MPEG-1 aspect ratio patch, courtesy of Vladimir Chernyshov
1000 <greengrass@writeme.com>.
1001 * Seeking patch for X11, courtesy of Peter Surda
1002 <shurdeek@panorama.sth.ac.at>.
1003 * Fixed a segfault on exit when no fast_memcpy module was found.
1004 * Workaround for a bug in the GLIBC dlopen() code.
1005 * Fixed win32 compilation.
1006 * New libmad plug-in, courtesy of Jean-Paul Saman. We now have sound on
1007 iPAQ Familiar Linux.
1008 * Borrowed MPlayer's fast memcpy() routines. Best is autodetected, choose
1009 "--memcpy <whatever>" to choose one from c, mmx, mmxext or 3dn.
1010 * Added versioned build-dep to libasound2-dev (Closes Debian bug #121057).
1011 * Updated Gtk/GNOME interfaces to use "udpstream" instead of "ts".
1012 * More checks for GTK headers.
1013 * Fixed a crash when pausing.
1014 * Fixed numerous bugs in ES selection.
1015 * Fixed stupid bug in vout_Manage. It sometimes called SetDSequenceMatrix
1016 when there was no valid sequence.
1017 * Hopeless fix for the input netlist corruption bug.
1018 * Implemented simple BDirectWindow (DMA) support.
1019 * DeleteDecoderConfig wasn't freeing (anymore) the packets left in the
1020 decoder fifo. This bug was creating an io_vec starving on title change
1022 * Removed a bug in the Makefile that made the CVS-snapshots building fail.
1023 * Added "#include <string.>" to include/threads.h.
1024 * Removed the mutex the vout and intf thread (were supposed to use)
1025 for syncronizing acces to the p_vout->p_sys structure.
1026 * Added error checking in pthread wrapper; as a result, intf_msg.h must
1027 now be included *before* threads.h.
1028 * Changed all files to include intf_msg.h before threads.h; while I was
1029 at it, I update the copyright notices.
1030 * Removed the obsolete darwin plug-in.
1031 * Fixed a deadlock (bug reported by marcari).
1032 * Various (sometimes hopeless) fixes to try to improve xvideo stability.
1033 * Documentation updates.
1035 * dvd:<device>[@<raw device>] to avoid device namespace collision under
1037 * Fixed a compilation issue under Win32.
1038 * Fixed a potential packet corruption in the DVD input.
1039 * Changed the protocol version for communication between vlc and vlcs
1040 from 12 to 13 (due to change from ts:// to udpstream://)
1041 * Big clean-up to allow compiling every module as plugins.
1042 * Added bytes_swap.h to provide ntoh() and htol() on Win32. With this
1043 change we don't have to link winsock2 with every plugin anymore. This
1044 should also give us a slight speed increase.
1045 * Added #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN in threads.h to speed-up compilation
1047 * Modified ac_downmix_3dn and sse so they compile with the latest gcc for
1049 * Support for libdvdread.
1050 * Added "Video" menu hint to debian/*menu (Closes Debian bug #121036).

1052 udp[stream]:[//][serveraddr:[serverport]][@[bindaddr][:bindport]]
1053 * Don`t use long long, use u64/s64 (int_types.h).
1054 * Fixed a stale pointer in mpeg_vdec_Run().
1055 * (Hopefully) fixed the network connect() bug under UNIX.
1056 * aRts audio output courtesy of Emmanuel Blindauer <manu@agat.net>.
1057 * Fix to the esd plugin when esd-config --cflags is nonempty.
1058 * --channels puts gtk/gnome in multi-channel network mode.
1059 * The network window of the interface reports the values of the environment
1061 * Channels mode excludes vls configuration.
1062 * The vlc does not try to bind vls.via.ecp.fr by default when you select
1064 * Fixed MacOS X 10.1 network input, thanks to Mathias Kretschmer
1065 <mathias@research.att.com>.
1066 * Fixed a few crashes due to race conditions in the decoder spawning.
1067 * Removed unused code here and there.

1071 * The ./configure script is more friendly for Win32 users.
1072 * Moved warning message to debug message in spdif pass-through plugin.
1073 * Changed a bit the wait time. It works better here, please test.
1074 * The default file-translation mode was not being set under win32.
1075 * Fixed heap corruption issues in ac3dec (thanks reno).
1076 * Fixed a crash when using `--input dvd /dev/dvd' instead of `dvd:/dev/dvd'.
1077 * configure should no longer assume AltiVec is supported when it actually
1078 isn't with buggy compilers and/or pre-set $CFLAGS.
1079 * Commited my little release-howto (only useful to core vlc developers).
1080 * Closing Debian bug #119369 which was fixed a while ago.
1081 * Decoder modularization.
1084 Mon, 12 Nov 2001 17:14:29 +0100

1088 * Documentation updates.
1089 * ipkg script for Familiar Linux 0.5 & bug fix in debian/rules.
1090 * Disabled DirectX audio output for the time being.
1091 * Added Oct's NSIS installer script. It will probably not work for you,
1092 but I need it to build the Win32 auto installer.
1093 * Automatic handling of the Channel Server's response in network mode.
1094 * GetMACAddress takes the interface defined in the environment variable
1095 vlc_iface instead of eth0.
1096 * Fixed bug with MPEG audio in TS streams.
1097 * Fixed compilation (and quite probably runtime) issues under IA64
1098 due to mixed int/void* casts.
1099 * Merged DVD netlist with input netlist to remove duplicated code.
1100 * BSD/OS VCD patch, courtesy of Steven M. Schultz <sms@TO.GD-ES.COM>.

1108 so that every plugin can use it.
1109 * Changed the name of a function in dvd_udf.c to fit with the forthcoming
1111 * Corrected à long time bug (around 0.2.81 I think), that created a
1112 corruption in ifo data. This was the reason why some DVDs that worked with
1113 0.2.80 no longer worked with newer version of vlc. They should work again
1115 * New --enable-release config option.
1116 * Removed deprecated code and structures.
1117 * Maybe corrected aspect ratio issue in fullscreen xvideo.
1118 * Fixed support for SPU and LPCM streams over network.
1119 * Added a new drawer to the control window to support Title / Chapter
1120 selection, Subtitle selection, Audiochannel/Language selection,
1122 * New --volume option (untested, like usual :).
1123 * Reimported Intf_Controller, connected "File/Open/File" to
1124 Intf_Controller::file:Open (OS X).
1125 * The intf is no longer accessed indirectly from vout_Destroy.
1126 * Made it possible to open a File after vlc was started (you can use vlc now
1127 without starting it from the command line) under OS X.
1128 * Cleaned up playlist handling in Intf_Vlc_Wrapper.
1129 * Modified the pf_close kludge in input.c so that we don't segfault when
1131 * Changed chapter selection buttons aspect to try and differentiate them
1132 from title selection ones.
1133 * Changes to the BeOS interface to remove unwanted volumes from the Disk

1150 * Added VCD input plugin for Linux.
1151 * Fixed ATTR_ALIGN configure test.
1152 * Fixed compilation problems with OpenBSD.
1153 * xvideo.so is now built in by default. Mixing PIC and non-PIC code was not
1155 * Fixed compilation errors in src/interface/main.c when the compiler did
1156 not support SSE or 3DNow! inline assembly.

1162 * Fixed an error in the ts://server[:port][/broadcast] input parsing.
1163 * Minor video parser optimization.
1164 * SDL now displays an error message on 422 streams.
1165 * Chroma 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 support in the decoder.

1171 Wed, 10 Oct 2001 15:00:29 +0200
1173 * XVideo module now compiled as built-in for Debian packages, to avoid
1174 PIC and non-PIC code collision (Closes Debian bug #111790).
1175 * MacOS X port : replaced -traditional-cpp (deprecated) with -no-cpp-precomp.
1176 * MacOS X port : native QuickTime video output, courtesy of Florian G.
1177 Pflug <fgp@phlo.org>. Use it with -I macosx_qt.
1178 * Fixed bugs in the altivec detection, courtesy of Michel Lanners

1202 --with-tuning=604, and so on.
1203 * Dramatically improve compilation time, with a negligible performance
1205 * Removed -march=pentiumpro ; should now work on pentium-class machines.

1207 at runtime with --stats.
1208 * New intf_StatMsg() call.

1214 slices", says walken :-).
1215 * In spdif ac3 is selected by default
1216 * Video output grows to respect acpect ratio instead of shrinking (not

1259 * Added warning messages.
1260 * Fixed build dependencies for architectures not supporting libasound2
1261 (Closes Debian bug #109722).

1267 * Fixed a synchro bug (typo) in video_output.c.
1268 * Added documentation to use VLC as a netscape plug-in and do some
1269 (buggy) web streaming.
1270 * Totally rewrote the video decoder (inspired by walken's mpeg2dec),
1271 implying - performance boost ; - fixed the "Dual Prime Arithmetic" bug ;
1272 - 3DNow! motion compensation module.
1273 * AC3dec statistics do not show up with --enable-stats, because I doubt
1274 they're understandable by a normal human being, and they pollute the output.
1275 * Minor changes to the (non-working) ncurses interface.
1276 * Fixed a packet leak in DemuxPSI.
1277 * Added gnome.h check and cleaned the error messages in the configure script.

1288 * Additional checks for SSE-specific (non-MMXEXT) instructions, as
1289 reported in lucky.openbsd.misc.
1290 * GNU/Hurd configuration and compilation fixes.
1291 * Fixed a crash in subtitle rendering.
1292 * Activated old crappy subtitle rendering in overlay mode (ugly but
1293 probably better than having no subtitles at all).
1294 * Added proper Conflicts: rules in debian/control.
1295 * configure.in fixes for BSD/OS.
1296 * Added vlc:loop playlist command to go back at the beginning.
1297 Usage: vlc file1.mpeg file2.mpeg ... fileN.mpeg vlc:loop
1298 * Fixed a bug in the gtk interface which caused vlc to go amok after
1299 having met a zero-sized area.

1305 * Got Makefile to launch ./configure almost properly. $(MAKECMDGOALS) rules !
1306 * Various debian scripts fixes.
1307 * Added -lmsvcrt40 to the win32 flags for proper execution under Wine.

1314 * Removed the "make all" kludge in the Makefile.opts rule. I hope this
1315 patch is harmless on all systems.
1316 * Added a dummy libdvdcss so that the DVD plugin can be used without
1317 libdvdcss. It will try to dlopen() libdvdcss at runtime, though,
1318 and will use the dummy functions only if it couldn't find a valid
1319 libdvdcss. This is probably only useful to package maintainers.
1320 * Made the remote command plugin usable even with no stream.
1321 * Fixed a deadlock in the remote command plugin.
1322 * Fixed a deadlock in the SPU decoder.
1323 * Minor bug fix to aout_directx.c.

1332 * Fixed a segfault in PSEnd in input_ps.c.
1333 * The video decoder thread is now also reniced to a lower priority on
1334 Win32 (like in the Linux version). This slightly increases the
1335 responsiveness of vlc.
1336 * Modified input_dvd so you can now go directly to the selected chapter
1337 when you change the title.
1338 * Implemented the Probe function in the Xvideo plugin. Xvideo is now the
1339 default video output plugin when it is supported.
1340 * Now use SDL_CFLAGS for searching SDL/SDL.h.

1363 * Now using gcc -pipe.
1364 * (Hopefully) fixed the #@!$ field pictures bug.
1365 * Fixed the MMX YUV plugin issues with gcc 2.96 and 3.0.
1366 * Updated TODO, cosmetic changes.
1367 * Now use sdl-config for SDL.
1368 * Fixed a stupid bug in buffer management with field pictures.

1398 to 44100-48000 Hz conversions.
1399 * The Win32 GetMessage function has been isolated in a thread. This has
1400 been done because this function can block the thread. Thanks to this

1403 * Plugins are now compiled in plugins/* and libraries in lib/*.
1404 * The KDE UI compiles again but does not work yet.
1405 * ALSA plugin message corrections.

1418 * Additional error checking in vout_sdl.c.
1419 * Minor manpage fix, conforming to Debian policy version 3.5.5.0
1420 (Closes Debian bug #99561).
1421 * Portablility fix: We now control the name to be used in the assembler
1422 code for a C function or variable.
1423 * Reenabled all the accelerated modules on Win32.
1424 * Bugfix for chapters change in DVD.
1425 * A few bug fixes for the directx plugin.
1426 * Removed the custom usleep function for win32 as we don't really need
1427 this accuracy, and it was eating cpu resources.
1428 * Elementary Stream input plugin (use it with --input es). Only works with
1429 video streams at the moment.
1430 * Added command line option '--stdout <filename>' which redirects stdout
1431 and stderr to the specified file. This option should mainly be useful
1433 * On Win32, vlc now has an icon associated to the .exe file, and is a full

1446 * Added gprof profiling support with --enable-profiling.
1447 * DirectX enhancements by Gildas Bazin, such as software rendering.
1448 * Another failed attempt at profiling vlc under Linux: ported the
1449 threads API to GNU Pth. Activate with --enable-pth. It doesn't seem to
1450 spawn new threads for me, maybe someone will have better luck.
1451 * Makefile optimizations.
1452 * Automatic build of libdvdcss if not found.
1453 * The DVD netlist no longer stops when the fifo is empty ; it just waits
1454 until there are free vectors again.
1455 * Exported the CSS part of the dvd plugin into a library. See
1456 ChangeLog.libdvdcss for a separate changelog.
1457 * Slight modification in input_dvd since Getiovec wasn't at the right place.

1460 prevent a title from being unavailable because we're stuck at the end.
1461 * Fixed a bug with 1-chapter-long titles that displayed chapter 0.
1462 * Added a _temporary_ field in p_main to know whether the audio stream is
1463 AC3 (ugly). It allows a vlc launched in spdif mode to play mpeg or lpcm
1465 * Cleaned the title property messages to get rid of the ugly stars.
1466 * Added LPCM support. It should work with stereo LPCM.
1467 * Fixed a warning when compiling main.c.
1468 * Checked that OS supports SSE instructions on PIIIs (to avoid illegal
1469 hardware instructions on Linux 2.2.x).
1470 * Fixed a bug in synchro reinitialization: we no longer have a shift each
1471 time we restart the synchro (for SCR discontinuity for instance)
1472 * In DVD mode, we reinit the synchro only if the SCR are not continuous
1473 (instead of each cell).
1474 * Tried to improve AC3 spdif to prevent desynchronization.
1475 * Lots of DirectX plugin fixes by Gildas Bazin.
1476 * Compilation fix in message queue mode.
1477 * Another FreeBSD compilation fix.

1482 plugins into builtins again.
1483 * Put most builtins in plugins again due to performances issues.
1484 * Fixed the painfully slow build process (at last!).
1485 * Added new dummy input plugin.

1520 it should not hang the kernel anymore.
1521 * Ported most dvd_ioctl.c functions to the DVDioctl driver: ReportAgid,
1522 ReportChallenge, ReportKey1, ReportASF, InvalidateAgid, SendChallenge,
1523 SendKey2. They should comply with the "Mt. Fuji Commands for Multimedia

1554 not wotk correctly (for instance VLS' generated TS streams)
1555 * Added support for some terribly braindead DVD subtitles in Kenshin

1707 * Fixed headers for FreeBSD compilation.
1708 * Fixed debian/rules for non-x86 packages (Closes: Debian bug #88583).
1709 * Deleted BBitmap[0] directly after overlay creation as no longer needed
1710 as overlay now owns Bits()
1711 * Fixed MPEG-1 mux_rate parsing.
1712 * Fixed MPEG-1 stuffing.
1713 * Don't create BBitmap drawing thread if using overlays
1714 * Changes to BeOS interface with file selection support

1734 it and writing output and interface plugins...
1735 * Split audio output into several separate files to make it easier
1736 to debug. Removed a few redundancies as well.
1737 * Support for Darwin CoreAudio, courtesy of Colin Delacroix [MacOS X port] ;

1758 * Makefile.in and configure.in fixes by Nilmoni Deb <ndeb@ece.cmu.edu>
1759 * A few syntax fixes in the plain X11 plugin
1760 * Various bug fixes in dvd_netlist. Some bugs seem to remain though.
1761 * New function input_ToggleES for interaction with interface.
1762 * Changes in gnome interface : navigation menus are now splited, there
1763 are radio item in menus and the code should be better.
1764 * First step for dvd_ifo rewritting. Now allocation/disallocation is
1765 being done as it has to be.
1766 * Fixed a bug in title management that make dvd like Seven work.
1767 * vout_beos now uses double buffering for YCbCr overlay.

1771 dependent code in dvd_ioctl.c
1772 * Added almost fully-functional /dev/dvd driver for MacOS X in
1774 * Fall back to one-packet-once reading in dvd input since multi-block
1775 seems to have a bug that make the vlc crash on title/audio/spu change. I
1776 hope that this bug will be fixed soon for the performance is poorer now
1777 * Add-ons and changes in gnome interface:
1778 o menu subdivision is done only if there are over 20 items,
1779 o in DVD mode next/prev apply to title,
1780 o in DVD mode, added a box with button to navigate through chapters.
1781 * Additional enhancements to the OS X DVD ioctl module
1782 * Big cleaning of the BeOS DVD ioctl code, got rid of all Linuxisms
1783 * Compilation fixes for the BeOS DVD ioctls
1784 * XVideo plugin enhancements by Shane Harper <shanegh@optusnet.com.au>
1785 * Added the GNU getopt library, which gets compiled in when getopt_long
1786 isn't available on the desired platform.
1787 * Replaced the `--warning' flag with the standard cumulative `-v' flag.
1788 `-v' is like `--warning 3', and `-vvvv' is like `--warning 0'
1789 (`--warning' is still valid for those used to it)
1790 * Cleaning in configure.in and Makefile.in, the Solaris port now
1791 builds and runs properly.
1792 * Code cleanup: removed a few tabulations.
1793 * Fixed inline asm routines to remove all read/write operands.
1794 * Added <string.h> to most files to prevent warnings under FreeBSD.

1810 linux-kernel like author list.
1811 * Updated TODO list.
1812 * Fixed a segfault in the BeOS interface when --noaudio was specified.
1813 * Title and Chapter selection in the Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces.
1814 * Fixed a bug in audio selection
1815 * Tried to fix an issue in size computing.
1816 * Commited BeOS changes by Richard Shepherd and Tony Castley.
1817 * Added boolean_t b_YCbr to vout_thread_s structure to flag YUV-YCbCr
1818 decoding needed instead of YUV-RGB
1819 * Will be removed later when video_output.c rewritten
1820 * vout_CreateThread() initialises b_YCbr to zero
1821 * New BeOS video plugin that supports hardware overlays and new
1822 MediaPlayer compatible interface
1823 * Added YUV-YCbCr transforms
1824 * Fixed bugs in title/chapter handling once more, especially for size
1825 detection and location of main movie.
1826 * Support for multitrack DVD : now the stream is given to input as it has
1827 to be ; however, all the tracks are displayed one after the other ; I
1828 think we need to decode navigation ES to choose the track
1829 * Fixed behaviour at end of device.
1830 * Added DVD/VCD button and menu for quick DVD device selection to the
1831 Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces, so that vlc can play a DVD even when
1832 launched from a GUI.
1833 * Added debian/* files to help generating CSS-enabled non-US packages,
1834 and changed plugins/dvd/* to reflect this change.
1835 * Added .xpm icons (fixes lintian warnings).
1836 * --help output and manpage are now in sync (Closes Debian bug #87478).
1837 * Fixed Build-dpends entry in debian/control (Closes Debian bug #83707).
1838 * Completely changed title and chapter initialization. Now we have real
1840 * Fixed size for a majority of DVD.
1841 * More consistency in the p_input->stream management.
1842 * Made input_SelectES() and input_UnselectES() not block the input thread
1844 * Changed debian/control to fix Debian bug #83707
1845 * Added a --disable-css configure option
1846 * Moved some code here and there in the DVD plugin to make it easier
1847 for me to build the Debian CSS-free packages.
1848 * Fixed miscellaneous alignment problems (alpha/sparc ports) ;
1849 * Added a fps display when toggling 'i' ;
1850 * Fixed a bug in the video parser where one picture buffer was not
1851 released at quit time ;
1852 * Broke the mux_rate calculation, but hey guys ! it was already broken and
1854 * New function for DVD reading, that is able to read multiple blocks
1855 (I've chosen 32 now), that doesn't use any memcpy anymore and is also much
1856 faster. It is ready now for cell positioning in multi-angle DVD (to come
1858 * DVD specific netlist adapted to 2048 bytes long blocks that contain
1859 several data_packets.
1860 * Modification in mpeg_system.c to use p_payload_start instead of
1861 p_buffer (necessary for DVD plugin). It does not break other plugins
1862 since they set p_payload_start to p_buffer
1863 * New field i_read_once in input_thread_s to be able to read more than
1864 the TS related 7 packets ; i_read_once is set to INPUT_READ_ONCE by
1865 defaults but plugins can change it during initialisation.
1866 * Bug fix with frequential downmix
1867 * Additional optimizations to the subtitle decoder
1868 * The GGI video output should now be faster. Also, right-mouse-clicking
1869 works in GGI mode as well.
1870 * Optimizations done to the SPU decoder. Now the RLE is expanded at
1871 decoding time, not rendering time. The main loop in vout_RenderSPU
1872 is now 20 lines long.
1873 * The Gtk+ interface is now built as a Debian package as well. The Gnome
1874 package depends on it because of the icon and menu entry.
1875 * Added an intf_WarnHexDump() function to do raw hexadecimal dumps of
1876 memory areas. For debugging purposes or for real men, as you wish.
1877 * Lots of tidying in dvd_ioctl.c, a few comments added.
1878 * Better error handling in the subpicture decoder.
1879 * Tidied video_spu.c. More to come later.
1880 * Fixed subtitle displaying. Will soon work in overlay mode as well.
1881 * Disabled slice-level resynchro since it's probably buggy.
1882 * Fixed a structural major bug in the macroblock structure management.
1883 * Added debug messages.
1884 * Fixed a compile problem in debug mode.
1885 * Added functions and hooks to display dates instead of off_t.
1886 * Added a 'd' keystroke to dump the stream contents (for debugging
1888 * New ES detection based on .ifo for DVD module. It might fail (I have
1889 found one DVD for which ifo seems false).
1890 * Title and chapter selection on the command line (see -t and -T options)
1891 It will allow to watch some DVD that went through menus by default.
1892 * Beginning of menus in gnome interface.
1893 * Fix bug in ac3dec for mono streams
1894 * BeOS: new video output method, the vlc now uses BBitmap instead of
1895 BDirectWindow (better performances)
1896 * BeOS: added resizing
1897 * BeOS: added beta support for overlay
1898 * Added a plain Gtk+ port of the Gnome interface, for the gnome-impaired
1899 people. Gtk+ is now compiled by default, while Gnome isn't (you will
1900 have to add --enable-gnome when running configure)
1901 * Replaced -lcurses with -lncurses in configure.in.
1902 * Added DemuxPSI, DecodePAT and DecodePMT. Never tested which streams
1903 where PAT or PMT are splitted in more than one section.
1906 Fri, 2 Mar 2001 17:32:24 +0100
1908 * DVD plugin is still non-functional when you don't have DVD ioctls,
1909 but at least it compiles under BeOS as well.
1910 * Minor cosmetic changes here and there.
1911 * Added the BeOS code for vlc_mutex_destroy() and vlc_cond_destroy()
1912 * Minor optimizations in the video decoder.
1913 * Move ac3 globals variables into structures
1914 * Fixed a bash-ism in configure.in
1915 * Fixed a segfault in input.c when no input plugin was found for
1917 * Fixed a deadlock in the Gnome interface. Next time I'll initialize
1918 my mutexes, I promise.
1919 * Added Oct to the authors list in intf_gnome.glade :)
1920 * Second step in area management ; everything is in place now to have
1921 title handling; it is coming :)
1922 * Ported Glide and MGA plugins to the new module API. MGA never worked,
1923 so this didn't make it work better.
1924 * Started thinking about built-in modules, and added some code to
1925 make it easier eventually.
1926 * Added Oct in the AUTHORS file.
1927 * Fixed a mistake in configure.in.
1928 * All your base are belong to us.
1929 * Fixed a bug in src/misc/modules which prevented loading modules
1930 when launched from the Tracker.
1931 * Fixed a similar bug in src/video_output/video_text.c.
1932 * BeOS CSS support, thanks to Markus Kuespert <ltlBeBoy@beosmail.com>
1933 who ported the Linux DVD ioctls. We can now read encrypted DVDs
1934 under BeOS ! Woohoo.
1935 * First serie of changes in DVD module for the forthcoming interface menus.
1936 There is a new capability in input type modules for setting the
1937 attributes of a new area. It is set to NULL for PS and TS plugins.
1938 It should be called for every title change, chapter change,
1939 audio mode change or spu channel change.
1940 * Kludge of the kludge, removing an oddity in YUV initialisation, and
1941 activating YUV overlay on startup whenever hardware acceleration is
1942 available. Thanks for bearing with us, stay tuned.
1944 * Changed video decoder's error messages into warnings.
1946 * Drag and drop support under BeOS.
1947 * Change in the code to detect beginning of movie. It is much better now
1948 but still fails with some DVD for which the movie is not the first
1950 * Beginning of ideas to handle chapters and ES selection
1951 * configure.in and Makefile.in patches for better SDL support and
1952 support for $(bindir) $(datadir) and $(libdir) stuff, courtesy
1953 of Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <misiek@pld.ORG.PL>
1954 * Ported ggi.so to the new modules API. As for the other modules, only
1955 the "q" key works. Moreover, VLC doesn't exit cleanly if you close the
1957 * Deactivated non-working widgets in the Gnome interface.
1958 * Added CONTRIBUTORS file.
1959 * Ported the framebuffer plugin to the new module API. As for most of the
1960 other video output modules, keyboard doesn't work. Except ^C to quit.
1961 * UDF filesystem support so that we know the location of the first video
1962 related file with 100% reliability (great change that should make DVDs
1963 with binaries and extra stuff work with vlc).
1964 * Correction of a bug in ifo reading that falsified the adress of
1966 * Changed the method for selecting title at start. It is _not_ reliable
1967 though, but it is better than the preceding one.
1968 * Tried to fix the BeOS interface and video output. Any BeOS developers
1969 listening ? I can't even test that code, it probably wants additional
1971 * Added a workaround in modules.c for broken libc's which happen to truncate
1972 filenames in dentry structures when using 64bits offsets. The kind of
1973 stuff you only see in RedHats <g>.
1974 * Made the SDL error messages a bit more useful.
1975 * The Gnome menu is now created when mouse is released, not when it
1976 is pressed. It may sound stupid, but it really makes a difference.
1979 Fri, 16 Feb 2001 08:09:59 +0100
1981 * Fixed package building (both RPMs and .debs).
1982 * Fixed `make snapshot' rule.
1983 * Added some magic to filename detection. To read a DVD you now just
1984 need to run 'vlc dvd:/dev/hdc' for instance. Same for file:// URIs.
1985 * Fixed a segfault in the slider when no stream was playing.
1986 * Made the slider go from 0 to 100 (instead of 99 :)
1987 * The vlc now doesn't exit when finished playing. As a side effect of
1988 the playlist code being very recent, it continuously loops.
1989 * Fixed a segfault in the input thread creation, as well as a possible
1990 deadlock. This happened mostly when opening non-existing files.
1991 * Created input_SetStatus to do input_SetRate's job. input_SetRate will
1992 be used to set an arbitrary rate, for people who want to read DVDs at
1993 1/2.71828 times the actual speed.
1994 * Stubs for the ncurses control interface. No working code yet, but the
1995 holes just need to be filled.
1996 * Improved X11 support. Still not as functional as before.
1997 * The output window now states the method name, so that people know whether
1998 they are using X11 or SDL.
1999 * The Gnome interface is now drag'n'drop aware, you can drop a file
2000 on it just like Xine does (or so I guess).
2001 * New more recent css authentication code.
2002 * Beginning of udf support (not in Makefile)
2003 * Removed useless includes in intf_gnome.c
2004 * Made the vout_sdl.c functions static
2005 * Ported vout_x11.c to the modules API; code isn't very nice yet though
2006 * X11 output works again. It's just the output, but it works; I now need
2007 to clean the code and add event handling.
2008 * Should have fixed the dependency generater for some plugins.
2011 Wed, 14 Feb 2001 08:33:46 +0100
2013 * Started porting the X11 vout (still disabled)
2014 * A few unnoticeable changes in the Gnome intf
2015 * Changes in the way stream size in DVD mode is calculated. It is no
2016 longer such an ugly kludge and is much more accurate.
2017 * Changes in DVDSeek so that the interface slider is in 0 when we are at
2018 the beginning of the strem.
2019 * Try to detect the beginning of the movie in the middle of the title. It
2020 works for most of the DVDs but will begin in the middle of the movie
2022 * Calculate only the first title key in css mode because it might take a
2023 long time with some title. The search stops now when we have a key once
2024 whereas it did stop only when we had it twice before. It should not
2026 * Really fixed MC segfault bug.
2027 * Adaptation of DVD module to navigation slider. The seek has to be
2028 done on a multiple of 2048, and shopuld take care of the offset to the
2029 beginning of the stream. It works with most of my DVDs by fails to
2030 detect size of some streams.
2031 * Change of the order of call to ifo and css functions in input_dvd.c,
2032 because we can't read ifo files before authentification on some DVDs.
2033 * Changed location of some css tables.
2034 * We read ifo date and decrypt css keys for all titles now. It takes quite a
2035 long time to initialize with some DVDs (if you have 42 titles for
2036 instance). The key decryption might give a false value if the title is
2037 less than 10 Mb ; I'm working on that :)
2038 * Quick patch to avoid a segfault when arbitrarily seeking the stream.
2039 * Added --intf option to vlc
2040 * Started cleaning vout_sdl.c
2041 * The dummy plugin works again
2042 * Added a slider to the Gnome interface so that we can browse through streams
2043 * Removed enhancement because of an incompatibility with slow motion.
2044 * We can now seek at position 0 :p ;
2045 * Tried to enhance picture dating on timebase discontinuities.
2047 * Much cleaning in css code. It should work fine now.
2048 * Fixed my old stupid bug that disabled sound after having played the
2049 first playlist item.
2050 * Added `Prev' and `Next' buttons to the interface, with the beginning of
2051 a playlist window (still empty).
2052 * Added `Slow' and `Fast' buttons to the interface and popup menu.
2053 * Removed tests against i_rate and i_new_rate calculation from the
2054 plugins and hid this complexity into input_ext-intf.c
2055 * The pure Gnome part of the Gnome interface has been rewritten from
2056 scratch, and the .glade file included as well. You can edit it by
2057 installing glade-gnome and doing `glade plugins/gnome/intf_gnome.glade',
2058 or directly by hand if you grok XML.
2059 * Files can now be loaded into vlc using the `Open' buttons. But for the
2060 moment you still have to launch vlc with at least one file, because it
2061 quits when the end of the playlist is reached.
2062 * Idle screen was disabled because it eats a lot of CPU and is mostly
2063 useless for the moment. And it gets activated when pause lasts for too
2065 * Plugins have completely disappeared, we now only use the new module API.
2066 * All intf and vout modules are now independant. So far, only the Gnome
2067 intf module and the SDL vout module have been ported. configure.in has
2068 been modified to reflect the changes (x11 and dummy aren't compiled by
2069 default anymore, while SDL and Gnome are).
2070 * Right-clicking on the SDL video output window brings the Gnome menu.
2071 * Pause, Play, Exit, About work from the menu or from the interface window.
2072 * The old SDL keys still work.
2073 * Fixed a bug in #define that prevented from using ioctls
2074 * Some functions to prepare ifo commands utilisation to move in the
2076 * Change in configure to avoid compiling css functions on BSD.
2077 * Added comments to src/interface/intf_plst.c and include/intf_plst.h
2078 so that people understand how the playlist works.
2079 * Updated the TODO list (34 items to do, 41 done !)
2080 * Portability : changed off64_t to off_t and activated appropriate
2082 * Changed fseek() to fseeko() for 64-bit offsets ;
2083 * Reset frame predictors on a stream discontinuity.
2084 * Implemented basic stream navigation function, and bound Jump forward
2085 and jump Backward in the SDL intf. Enjoy !
2086 * Pause function implemented ('p' key).
2087 * Fixed a compile probleme on machine without a dvd player :ppppp
2088 * Fixed two bugs in ifo and css that caused memory corruption and
2089 segfault when using sdl in dvd mode.
2090 * Moved the playlist handling from input/input.c to interface/interface.c
2091 * Fixed a few warnings at compile-time.
2092 * Fixed sound channel selection in playlist mode.
2093 * Added a color message in the plugin bank because on peut bien déconner
2094 cinq minutes, quand-même.
2095 * We now spawn a new input thread for each file.
2096 * Added a missing pf_close() because it's always cool to close files
2098 * Solved bug with cssdescrambling. The vlc might segfault with dvd
2099 plugins. I will fix that soon.
2100 * Minor modification in pluginification.
2101 * Playlist works again (still the old wrong way like Meuuh doesn't
2102 like, but this is going to change within a few hours)
2103 * Input_ps, input_ts and input_dvd are now plugins, located in
2104 plugins/mpeg/ and plugins/dvd/
2105 * Fast/slow keys are now A/Z instead of A/S since S was already
2106 linked to the scale/noscale toggle.
2107 * `--dvd' doesn't work anymore, for the moment try to use :
2108 vlc --input dvd /dev/dvd
2109 * Module bank is now less verbose ; use `--warn 1' to turn back
2111 * New method using netlist to read packets on DVD device by sectors of
2113 * Some modifications in netlist to make it work with DVD.
2114 * Fixed à bug in mpeg_system.c
2115 * We can now choose the speed of forward (between 32/1 and 1/8)
2116 * Functional fast forward and slow motion API ;
2117 * Dirty hack in the SDL intf to bind "a" (fAst forward), "s" (Slow motion)
2119 * Centralized clock management, preparing for stream navigation ;
2120 * Fixed a bug in the management of the first video PTS.
2121 * Fixed a bug in period calculation for progressive sequences.
2122 * Fixed a FIXME in SDL: p_vout->p_sys is no more used in intf_sdl.c
2123 * Used instead p_vout->i_changes like in x11
2124 * Disabled SDL parachute to let the vlc dump a core instead of staying stuck
2125 * Patched 2 debian bugs
2126 (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=vlc)
2127 * Improved the snapshot generation
2128 * Mouse pointer hidden/shown with middle button in SDL output
2129 * Removed obsolete video_yuv_mmx.S
2130 * Updated the TODO list and wrote a small todo.pl parser to make it
2131 easier to see which items remain to be done
2132 * `make snapshot' now creates vlc-*.tar.gz and vlc-*-nocss.tar.gz
2135 Wed, 31 Jan 2001 04:30:37 +0100
2137 * Version 0.2.50 for the Linux Expo
2138 * --overlay and --fulscreen options (only work with --vout sdl)
2139 * The vlc exits after the end of the stream, which prevents from having
2140 to kill it and relaunch it during a presentation.
2141 * Not a very nice hack, but will probably spare us a few user complaints: if
2142 no -a option is specified, the vlc will play the first audio type it finds,
2143 so there is no need to specify "-a ac3" for a DVD anymore.
2144 * CSS support kludged for current DVD input.
2145 It is very slow now but will be more adapted to the forthcoming DVD
2147 It should read the first title of many DVDs but has been tested with few.
2148 * Beginning of ifo commands to implement DVD navigation.
2149 * Fix for field pictures.
2150 * Hooks for fast forward and slow motion support.
2151 * Fixed backwards moves.
2152 * Tuned up optimizations.
2153 * Completely removed BIZARRE_OPTIMS.
2154 * Check for the needed headers for DVD ioctls
2155 * Some cleaning in the dvd authentification code
2156 * Various miscellaneous minor optimizations of the video parser.
2157 * Beginning of support for encrypted DVDs.
2158 * It only tests encryption and authenticates disc.
2159 * Really fixed GetChunk now.
2160 * 32-bit aligned bitstream (not that fast).
2161 * The motion compensation routines are now modules as well ; choose your
2162 implementation with `--motion motion', `--motion motionmmx' or
2163 `--motion motionmmxext'. Of course, the best implementation is chosen
2164 if you don't ask for any. There doesn't seem to be any performance hit
2165 due to the move to shared libs, which is a good thing. Please test
2166 actively if you have time, though.
2167 * Updated --help result, manpage, INSTALL document, and a few files.
2168 * Borrowed LiViD's MMX and MMX EXT IDCT. This might break things. Expect
2169 a performance increase.
2170 * Removed a few useless malloc() and unused variables in the audio SDL stuff
2171 * Prepared the work for built-in modules (not yet finished)
2172 * Small tweak in the copy handling, reduce CPU usage.
2173 * --aout sdl now works
2174 * Added SDL sound support. Sounds a bit laggy sometimes but my streams
2175 are ill. please try.
2176 * Modified configure.in and all that stuff. Re-run configure
2177 * SDL audio, video and interface are all part of the same .so now.
2178 * Removed YUV old files :->
2179 * Reverted something that wasn't supposed to go into the cvs :p
2180 * Removed -fargument-noalias-global which causes problems with as (???).
2181 * Borrowed livid's latest libmmx and MMXEXT MC. Not in the Makefile => to
2182 test it, replace vdec_motion_inner_mmx.c by vdec_motion_inner_mmxext.c.
2183 * A few changes in the CPU extensions detection code, borrowed from the
2184 kernel and from mpeg2dec. I still don't know how to detect if code
2185 compiled with -mcpu=pentiumpro will run, since the cpuid arcanes are
2186 quite obtuse to me. Perhaps we should also have a way not to load modules
2187 if they have been compiled with a different CPU to avoid segfaults.
2188 * Add check for MMX EXT extensions, which doesn't work, which is a good
2189 thing since there is no MMX EXT IDCT yet :)
2190 * Change for the forthcoming fast forward and slow motion support.
2191 * Fixed the --aout, --idct and --yuv flags
2192 * Updated manpage and --(long)help output to reflect that change
2193 * Removed a few unneeded #includes here and there
2194 * Cosmetic changes in error messages in input.c
2195 * Now use of 64 bits offsets to parse the whole DVD. So we have all the
2196 available information
2197 * Fixed a bug in parsing of VTS attributes
2198 * Fixed a bug in input.c that made input plugin initialize even though
2199 no stream is reachable (thanks Sam)
2200 * Merged the YUV plugins in the same directory to avoid too much code
2202 * YUV transformations now use the new module API ; now only the vout
2203 and interface still depend on the old plugin API
2204 * Changed TestMMX to TestCPU because we will be able to test for other
2205 specific extensions (3DNow, SSE) for the forthcoming IDCT we'll
2206 borrow to mpeg2dec (as usual :P)
2207 * Don't show "hiding module" messages anymore except in debug mode
2208 * Swapped C IDCT and Classic IDCT scores since the classic one seems
2209 to be faster ; anyway you should use the MMX one
2210 * Fixed a Makefile bug under BeOS
2211 * Tried to fix the cpuid code so that it compiles under BeOS (Polux, can
2212 you test it when you have time ?)
2213 * Fixed a bug in the frame rate handling ;
2214 * Fixed a bug in the DTS/PTS ordering. Our pts are _at last_ accurate.
2215 * Finally fixed repeat_first_field and co. (pas encore tout compris...)
2216 * Implemented video_parser bitstream callback for PTS/DTS.
2217 * Fixed close button support in SDL
2218 * Fixed --width and --height support in SDL
2219 * Fixed the bug-that-made-the-vlc-segfault-on-exit, which means that
2220 more than ever, « le client ne segfaulte pas ».
2221 * There was still a problem upon quitting: sometimes the null packet
2222 wasn't big enough to reach a decoder breakpoint, so I now create 10
2223 of them (since I can't make it bigger) to be sure. Meuuh, what do
2225 * Fixed the Makefile to spare a few variables here and there.
2226 * Reduced module hide delay, removed loading of the audio output
2227 plugins since they are now modules.
2228 * Changed a few intf_Msg to intf_DbgMsg, and added "vout:", "intf:",
2229 and so on in a few other messages.
2230 * Removed unused includes in the idct modules.
2231 * Correction of bugs in ifo parsing. Now the structures should be well
2232 initialized. It remains some segfaults but it globally works.
2233 * DVD mode is enabled with option --dvd. For the moment, it only read
2234 the first vts and find the movie if it is at the beginning of the title
2236 * Beginning of dvd_input. Parsing of ifo file almost completed.
2237 * The IDCT functions are now located in modules : the classic IDCT,
2238 our optimized IDCT, and MMX IDCT.
2239 * Cosmetic changes for modules (pf_* instead of p_*)
2240 * Fixes to the BeOS and dummy modules
2241 * Changed default values :
2242 INPUT_PTS_DELAY down to 200 ms ;
2243 video heap down from 10 to 5 pictures ;
2244 decoder fifo size from 1023 to 511 PES ;
2245 * Fixed various bugs in 32 bit-versions of input_ext-dec.h ;
2246 * Fixed a bug in GetChunk() ;
2247 * Renamed GetByte, GetWord, ShowWord to _GetByte, _GetWord, _ShowWord ;
2248 * Moved decoder_fifo-specific code from programs.c to dec.c ;
2249 * Fixed bugs in program.c that prevented vlc to close all decoders ;
2250 * Gave sam a lesson for the use of the bitstream in spu_decoder.c :ppp ;
2251 * Made the video parser unlock the reference pictures before quitting
2252 (still one left, yaknow why ?)
2253 * Destroy fifo mutex and cond variables _after_ they are used for
2254 the last time. henri, that'll be one binouze.
2255 * Attempt to port the BeOS audio plugin to the new module API. Will
2256 probably need a few fixes to work or even compile.
2257 * Ported the alsa plugin to the news vlc module API
2258 * Fixed 32 bits bitstream bugs.
2259 * Moved the MPEG audio decoder to the new bitstream
2260 * Cleaning in the SPU decoder.
2261 * Moved swab32 from input_ext-dec.h to common.h. We probably won't need
2262 it anymore really soon, since ntohl() and htonl() seem to be properly
2263 optimized when gcc is passed the right optimization flags.
2264 * Fixed GetBits32 and RemoveBits32. I know the #ifdefs are useless since
2265 we only support u32 words, but it's a safe reminder. Comments appreciated
2266 on this fix since I may have b0rked something -- it runs well here though.
2267 * Changed code for handling b_die in bitstream ;
2268 * Moved input_ext-dec.h to input.h ;
2269 * New input_NullPacket function ;
2270 * Fixed init bugs in input and vpar ;
2271 * Placed a callback to the decoder in the bitstream structure ;
2272 * Fixed a purify bug in input_ps.c ;
2273 * Added -mcpu=pentiumpro in the Makefile.
2274 * Complete commenting of modules_core.h and small modifications
2275 * Separated MODULE_CONFIG_START and ADD_WINDOW (Henri, beware)
2276 * Fixed a very, very old bug that caused namespace collision between
2277 plugins (Henri, beware: call your aout_getplugin function like this,
2278 not alsa_aout_getplugin)
2279 * Removed the Debian specific clean rules from the Makefile, since they
2280 are already handled by the debian/rules script.
2281 * Tidied a few compilation rules (-lfoo should always be at the end)
2282 * Added 8bits palette SDL support.
2283 * Fixed a warning under FreeBSD (dlerror() is a const char*, not a char*).
2284 * Made configure script look for the bswap assembly instruction (using
2285 AC_TRY_COMPILE makes sure the compiler will really accept it).
2286 * Fixed colors' bug (TODO: write a function in vout that recalculate colors
2288 * Cleaning of the fullscreen switch, still sucks but the surface is not
2289 reallocated and that's good (thanks to the magic function
2290 SDL_WM_ToggleFullScreen provided by sdl library :).
2291 * Added a missing mutex_unlock in video_output.c
2292 * Moved a mutex_destroy after the thread cancellation to prevent
2294 * Added a missing #ifdef in intf_msg.c which prevented compilation
2296 * Fixed a bug in the input that prevented to quit properly in certain
2297 cases (some ES were not deleted because their index was skipped when
2298 the former one was deleted, well Meuuh should know what I mean)
2299 * Cleaning of SDL Lock/Unlock Surface.
2300 * All plugins now compile with -fPIC.
2301 * Made the audio_output API a bit simpler.
2302 * Got rid of modules_config.h.
2303 * Fixed `make install' rule.
2304 * Fixed warnings in the MMX YUV compilation.
2305 * Probably fixed a bug in the input : pp_foo structures were free()d at
2306 the end, but this was useless since the last call to realloc() is
2307 equivalent to free(), and two consecutive calls to free() aren't a
2309 * We check that the version number match and that we don't already have
2310 a module by that name when loading a new module.
2311 * All public module_* functions now properly lock the module bank.
2312 * The audio_output now uses the new module API ; EsounD and DSP modules
2313 have been ported, which should be enough for Henri to port the ALSA one.
2314 * Added vlc_mutex_destroy and vlc_cond_destroy function, for pthreads.
2315 Used them before quitting, every lock and cond is destroyed
2316 * Checked the return value of malloc and realloc in input_programs
2317 * Fixed compilation pb under solaris 2.6
2318 * Should compile & run on Solaris with ./configure --disable-dsp
2320 * Removed most SYS_SOLARIS #ifdef's in favour of more generic tests
2321 * Updated example ./configure line in INSTALL file
2322 * Now we only load modules that end with ".so"
2323 * null module is compiled by default
2324 * Fixed initialization of payload_start and payload_end
2325 * --enable-sdl and some others are now --with-sdl[=name] to supply an
2326 optional library name ;
2327 * Deleted all unnecessary #include <sys/uio.h> ;
2328 * /usr/include is now searched when looking for libraries and headers.
2329 * src/misc/modules.c is in a workable state now.
2330 * Splitted modules.h into modules.h and modules_core.h to enable
2331 clean compilation of the Null Module.
2332 * Added the Null Module, the module that does nothing but that is going
2333 to be of great help for debugging my module code.
2334 * Plugins are now called modules, because we will be able to compile
2335 them either as a dynamic plugin, or within the program. And, more
2336 important, I can commit this without having to break the vlc :)
2338 * video_output.c : compute picture size even if b_need_render == 0;
2339 * Fixed a deadlock (the vout unlocked a mutex locked by another thread,
2340 grrrr, I'll kill someone) ;
2341 * Put config.h in front of others in audio_decoder.c.
2342 * Better display of the fps.
2343 * Removed i_iovec_start and i_iovec_end. Used i_data instead
2344 * Fixed THX Cimmarron bug (it was _not_ a synchro bug).
2345 * Fixed a bug in the DTS/PTS parsing ;
2346 * Fixed a bug in vpar_headers.c synchro handling introduced before ;
2347 * Enhanced synchro's handling of dates and frame structure changes.
2348 * Fixed a bug in the PSM decoder.
2349 * We now read the DTS (but we don't use it for the moment).
2350 NB : b_has_pts has disappeared for brevity reasons, use i_pts != 0 instead.
2351 * New synchro statistics and warnings.
2352 * Avoid calling SafeRead() with a null packet size.
2353 * Use of ptrdiff_t whenever necessary (IA-64 port) ;
2354 * Changed behaviour of preparsing code, faster startup ;
2355 * Fixed DecodePSM(), cannot test ;
2356 * Cleaned up ParsePES(), fixed a bug which could reject very small but
2358 * Fixed cosmetic bugs in vpar_synchro frame_rate display.
2359 * Changed subtitles palette.
2360 * SPU decoder now uses Meuuh's GetChunk() code.
2361 * Lots of cleaning in the SPU decoder.
2362 * Message queue is flushed before we spawn input.
2363 * Fixed so that it compiles with VDEC_SMP (no good sync yet though).
2364 * Using i_id instead of i_stream_id whenever possible ;
2365 * Fixed a bug in -c and -s options.
2366 * Fixed a compile pbm in debug mode (f34r d4 1-line fix)
2367 * Fixed AC3 and SPU PES reading (ph34r da one-byte patch)
2368 * Some 79 char wrap.
2369 * No need to add "\n" at the end of intf_*Msg() messages anymore.
2370 * Moved input_DecodePES() to input_dec.c ;
2371 * Fixed an segfault in input_programs.c ;
2372 * Added -fomit-frame-pointer optimization.
2373 * Fixed a *major* memory leak in the pre-parsing code. Hopefully it should
2375 * New decoder spawning API input_dec.c ;
2376 * Moved p_input->pp_es -> p_input->stream.pp_es and clean up of
2377 input_programs.c & co ;
2378 * Fixed memory leaks.
2379 * Moved video_decoder's headers from include/ to src/video_decoder.
2380 * Temporarily removed b&w kludge.
2381 * Splitted up p_method_data/p_plugin_data ;
2382 * Cleaned up input_ts.c, added it into the Makefile.
2383 * Fixed various memory leaks.
2384 * Removed all arbitrary limits on the number of elementary streams.
2385 * Removed b_die and b_error from all decoders (obsoleted by decoder_fifo_t).
2386 All decoders should now exit cleanly (if it's not the case, it should be
2387 referenced as a bug).
2388 * Fixed a bug which prevented the input to exit normally (non-selected
2389 ES in the pp_selected_es array).
2390 * Added netlist support.
2391 * Added U8_Mono audio output
2392 * Fixed "-a [ mpeg | ac3 | lpcm | off ]" option
2393 * Only pre-parse the first 32 MB of data.
2394 * Added -a, -c and -s options. (-a doesn't work but I will let the people
2395 who thought it would be cleaner to put config in environment variables
2396 correct what's wrong in my code).
2397 * Now we only try to open plugins which are existing files
2398 * Big cleanup of the PS input plugin ;
2399 * Fixed a bug in AC3 initialization ;
2400 * PS streams are now pre-parsed (this can take a while) if possible ;
2401 * Move #define from audio_output.h to config.h
2402 * Change vlan_server_ip to vishnou's ip (but vlans not working yet)
2403 * GetChunk() : reads n bytes from the elementary stream and places them
2404 in a big buffer (a gift for Sam).
2405 * Quantic start in fullscreen fixed.
2406 * Input-II now correctly handles private stream 1 (AC3, DVDSPU).
2407 * Split the audio decoder into adec_generic, adec_layer1 and adec_layer2
2409 * Added SDLYUV support,
2410 * Fixed the ratio/position problem in YUV,
2411 * We now display CPU usage statistics for each thread.
2412 * Additional fix for Layer 1 mono
2414 * Fixed audio syncword detection for mpeg 1 streams (hopefully)
2415 * Fixed Layer 2 Mono decoding.
2416 * Hardware YUV overlay (SDL) with real colors ;p It may suck for non
2418 * Removed vout code found in intf file to support fullscreen switching.
2419 Now only vout_SDL updates SDL data and intf only switch flags such as
2420 b_reopen_display and b_fullscreen in p_vout->p_sys.
2421 * Fixed a var name typo in input_programs.c which prevents vlc from
2422 compiling with --enable-debug option. (i_es_pid -> i_es_id :)
2423 * Autodetection of Overlay support
2424 * Fixed support for broken MPEG-1 files.
2425 * Cleaned up program and ES management by using input_programs.c whenever
2427 * Cleaned up decoder spawning.

2430 * Moved b_discontinuity to pgrm_descriptor_t, cleaned up CRDecode
2431 (needs some more cleaning for discontinuities)
2432 * Added pf_new_pes in plugins
2433 * Fix in the SCR parser for high values.
2434 * Fixed a bug with DVD's SCR (too close from the PTS).
2435 * Generation d'un makefile presque correct pour les vieilles versions de make
2436 Nettoyage: gestion des dependances pour les plugins, suppressions de pas
2437 mal de redondances, options de compilations coherentes, etc...
2438 * Code to manage es_descriptors and program_descriptors, from benny's
2440 * VLAN support modified.
2441 * We now correctly parse MPEG-1 SCR and there is no need to kludge to read
2442 the stream at the right pace.
2443 * Fixed a bug in the synchro with non-P5/B1 streams.
2444 * Support for MPEG-1 .mpg files.
2445 * Fixed a bug in the synchro with non-P5/B1 streams.

2457 * Fixed MPEG audio decoding for streams without b_data_alignment flags.
2458 * Fixed a bug in the SPU decoder which caused a segfault.
2459 * Support for 8bit soundcards.
2460 * YUV support for SDL.

2462 * Frame dropping enhancements for very slow machines.
2463 * Fixed a buffer overflow under BeOS.
2464 * Miscellaneous framebuffer fixes.
2465 * Miscellaneous SDL fixes.
2466 * MMX Y4Gray16 colorspace transformation.
2467 * Optimized grayscale mode.
2468 * Fixed volume control.
2470 * Minor changes in the Debian files.
2471 * Fixed fps display.
2472 * Fixed MPEG1 video decoding. We don't read MPEG 1 PS files for the
2474 * Fixed a 100% cpu usage bug, in the dummy aout.
2475 * Added a 'f' shortcut to switch between Windowed and Fullscreen
2477 * Added --broadcast option for network input.
2478 * Screen is now emptied when framebuffer output exits.
2479 * Totally new frame dropping algorithm.
2480 * Fixed a bug in video_ouput.c which trashed more late pictures than
2482 * Fixed the DEBUG mode in the Makefile.
2483 * Fixed a bug in mwait() which made us wait too long.
2484 * The video_decoder can now be split into several threads to take
2485 advantage of the SMP machines.
2486 * Added --enable-debug, --enable-stats, and --disable-optims in the
2487 GNU configure stuff.
2488 * Added alsa audio support (plugin)
2489 * vlc is now compiled without the STATS mode by default.
2490 * Fixed a bug which made frames go backwards with some displays (the
2491 video_decoder thread is now niced).
2492 * Added intf_WarnMsg(), and made use of it in the most needed places.
2495 Mon, 28 Aug 2000 02:34:18 +0200
2497 * fixed the support for field pictures, which involved a few dozens
