15 * ./po/se.po : Swedish translation, courtesy of Joel Arvidsson
16 <dogai@privat.utfors.se>.
17 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.h: added a new fourcc (3IV2, you shoudln't be able
18 to decode it but sometimes it's in fact MPEG-4, thx titer).
19 * ./plugins/mp4/*: added capability to read mov with mp3 tracks. But it seems
20 that mad doesn't like too much fragmented data packets, and thus breaks the
22 * ./mozilla/Makefile: fixed dependencies on .h files.
23 * ./plugins/filter/distort.c: fixed a typo in option names.
24 * ./plugins/dummy/dec_dummy.c: new dummy decoder, for testing purposes.
25 * ./configure.in: workaround Debian bug #150490 (bad mozilla-config output).
26 * ./mozilla/vlcplugin.h: added .mov and .mp4 files to the plugin.
27 * ./Makefile: we no longer try to merge .a files into libvlc.a, but rather
28 add them to the vlc-config output.
29 * ./plugins/dvdplay/*: first version of plugin for libdvdplay; supports DVD
30 reading with title and menus, pause, seeking, interactive menus with
32 * ./plugins/gtk/*: allowed 0 for title selection as it is the area for first
34 * ./plugins/familiar/*: interface neatly exits now.
35 * ./plugins/cinepak/cinepak.c: added a new fourcc.
36 * ./plugins/mp4/*, ./plugins/ffmpeg/*: some clean up and changed the way
37 ffmpeg is initialized.
38 * ./plugins/beos/InterfaceWindow.cpp: implemented muting.
39 * ./plugins/beos/InterfaceWindow.cpp: fixed code for subtitle and audio
40 selection, still probs but working.
41 * ./plugins/beos/*: changes to ensure BeOS plugins compile and function,
42 implemented a intf_vlc_wrapper to "shield" the BeOS code from the
43 underlying vlc structurs, yet to be completed.
44 * ALL: decoders now use a fourcc as a probe value.
45 * include/input_ext-intf.h: killed p_es->b_audio, since i_cat already fills
47 * include/input_ext-intf.h: killed p_es->i_type in favour of p_es->i_fourcc.
48 * include/video.h: killed p_pic->p_plane->b_margin; now i_visible_pitch is
50 * ./src/libvlc.h: replaced --mpeg-adec and --ac3-adec with --codec; see
51 vlc --help for more information.
52 * include/video.h: removed fourcc values which should _not_ be global
53 (thanks fenrir for convincing me).
54 * ALL: video output plugins use the VLC_FOURCC macro to build their fourccs.

57 * ./src/input/input_info.c, ./src/misc/messages.c: initialized the first
58 vasprintf arguments to NULL for extra safety.
59 * ./src/misc/modules.c: added the "any" and "none" keywords to the module
60 selection string. "any" matches any module, and "none" always fails.
61 * ./src/input/input_info.c: win32 compilation fixes.
62 * ./plugins/familiar/familiar.c: fixed gtk core-dump on exit. Used code from
64 * ./share/*: VCR icon buttons for Familiar Linux interface.

66 * ./plugins/memcpy/fastmemcpy.h: commented out suspicious code.
67 * ./plugins/mp4/mp4.c: improved mp4a detection/handling.

77 * ./bootstrap.sh: use C locale for generating vlc_symbols.h.
78 * ./bootstrap.sh: don't generate pofiles by default.
79 * ./plugins/cinepak/*: a cinepak (cvid) video decoder (codec found in old
81 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: tried to add an option to allow frame droppping
82 (--enable-hurry-up). Begin to work.
83 * ./configure.in: added -lrt for HP/UX port.
84 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: added a new option, to set the level of error
85 resilience. It allows to play badly encoded mpeg4 files (illegal VLC code).
86 * ALL: changed "struct foo_s" into "struct foo_t" to make greppers happy.
87 * ./src/libvlc.c, ./include/vlc/vlc.h: created reentrant versions of the
89 * ./src/vlc.c: vlc uses the non-reentrant libvlc functions.
90 * ./mozilla/vlcplugin.c: the mozilla plugin uses the reentrant functions.
91 * ./debian/*: created packages for libvlc0-dev.
92 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: added a global lock to prevent two VLC threads to
93 call a liba52 function simultaneously (liba52 isn't reentrant).
94 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: made liba52 the default AC3 decoder.
95 * ./configure.in: we no longer check for a specific function in -lphtread
96 because some systems (such as HP-UX...) have them inlined.
97 * ./Makefile.modules: we don't chmod -x the compiled plugins because of
98 HP-UX's dynamic linker which would otherwise be unable to open them.
99 * ./configure: rebuilt using the newest autotools.
100 * ./src/vlc.c, ./src/libvlc.c: added more robust consistency checks.
101 * ./configure.in: fixed description of MP4 module.
102 * ./doc/fortunes.txt: added a selection of Lool's fortune cookies.
103 * ./configure.in: added mp4 module, default disabled.
104 * ./src/misc/darwin_specific.c: s/vlc_object_t/vlc_t.
105 * ./configure.in: fixed Mac OS X compilation which was broken on some
107 * ./include/vlc/vlc.h: included os_specific.h.
108 * ./include/interface.h: interface creation and destruction functions are
109 now exported to plugins so that any plugin can spawn a new interface.
110 * ./plugins/mp4/*: preliminary mp4 (and some mov) demux plugin. I've not
111 enabled it (add by hand to Makefile... and link it with zlib -lz) as I
112 will probably break it too many times. It work for some mp4 (but without
113 audio, need aac decoder) and mov with sorenson v1(ffmpeg :).
114 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed a bug in the computation of the mouse
115 coordinates sent to interface.
116 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: added a 'dvdold' shortcut to force the use of the
117 dvd plugin in case another plugin with higher priority wants to use 'dvd'
119 * ./plugins/lpcm_adec/lpcm_adec.c: the loop in lpcm decoder DecodeFrame()
120 could not exit after b_die in some cases.
121 * ./configure.in: plugin compilation fix for HP-UX.
122 * ./configure.in: better protection of CFLAGS and LDFLAGS. Should also fix
123 remaining issues with XvPutImage detection, please confirm!
124 * ./plugins/alsa/alsa.c: ALSA device selection patch, courtesy of John
125 Paul Lorenti <jpl31@columbia.edu>.
126 * ./Makefile: src/misc/modules_builtin.h now depends on Makefile.config.

131 a few uninitialized variables.
132 * MacOS X: added deinterlace submenu.
133 * ./plugins/access/http.c: fixed a double free bug and a memory leak.
134 * ./plugins/*: interface plugins set p_vlc->b_die to quit vlc, but check
135 for p_intf->b_die to know when they are supposed to terminate p_intf. This
136 will allow to spawn interface plugins on the fly.
137 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: quick hack to read file created by ffmpeg. I think
139 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: added support for some others codecs provided
140 by ffmpeg, but some of them aren't tested.
141 * ./src/misc/messages.c: debug messages that were issued before the -v
142 flag was tested for are no longer lost.
143 * ./configure.in: we now look for XvPutImage instead of XvSetPortAttribute
144 because XvSetPortAttribute isn't always available.
145 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.m: added missing arrow up/down handling.
146 * MacOS X: added messages and playlist panel, dock menu, context menu
147 in video view and localization support.

154 * ./MAINTAINERS: new file indicating who has knowledge on which parts.
155 * ./po/*: polish translation, courtesy of Arkadiusz Lipiec.
156 * ./README: removed much outdated data.
157 * ./debian/*: great package renaming - names should make more sense now.
158 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: prevent the MAD decoder from looping endlessly
159 when the audio output fifo could not be created.
160 * ./plugins/gtk/*: new generic "Open Target" window. Please test and
161 comment on usability.
162 * ./debian/rules: the Debian package creation script builds ffmpeg.
163 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: we skip the ID3 tag at the begining
164 of an MP3, so more files can be read.
165 * ./src/vlc.c: reduced the amount of default simultaneous interfaces.
166 * ./src/libvlc.c: removed calls to vlc_mutex_lock in sighandlers.
167 * ./plugins/qt/intf_qt.cpp: fixed Qt interface termination.

171 config file, (un)planned ports/features, sources.list.
172 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: now you can see avi over http (true interleaved
173 file only), and seek is allowed.

175 * ./src/misc/darwin_specific.c, ./src/misc/extras.c: moved our custom
176 strndup to a separate file so that Win32 can benefit from it.

178 * ./mozilla/*: preliminary Mozilla plugin. Only works under Unix for now.
179 * ./debian/rules: activated the vlc-xosd, vlc-kde and mozilla-plugin-vlc
181 * ./po/*: updated potfiles.
182 * ./src/misc/modules.c: module_Need accepts a comma-separated list of

185 * ./configure.in: added -lintl to plugins_LDFLAGS.
186 * ./plugins/gnome/gtk.c, ./plugins/gnome/gnome.c: prevent older versions
187 of vlc from crashing when trying to open a recent module.
188 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: to enter fullscreen mode, we create a new window
189 instead of moving the current window, which saves us the hassle of
190 remembering size and position.
191 * ./plugins/x11/x11.c, ./plugins/x11/xvideo.c: added --no-x11-shm and
192 --no-xvideo-shm options.
193 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: begin to support VOD, but it segfault very quickly
194 (unless you disable audio or video!) and cannot support seeking( will
195 just stop ). Moreover it can't work for all files, only interleaved ones.
196 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: the lirc interface now works again.
197 * ./plugins/qt/*: the Qt interface now works again.
198 * ./plugins/kde/*: the KDE interface now works again.

211 don't launch the rc interface.
212 * ./plugins/access/http.c: fixed a compilation warning.
213 * ./src/misc/messages.c: cosmetic enhancements in the message output.
214 * ./plugins/x11/*: added the --x11-drawable and --xvideo-drawable options to
215 tell vlc to draw in an existing drawable instead of creating a new window.
216 * ./plugins/avi/*: I rewrite the way to read, in order to minimize seeking
217 (faster and in prevision of VOD by http, but not yet functionnal ). But
218 sound becomes horrible, I will try to fix it as soon as possible.
219 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_vlc_wrapper.m: arrow-up and arrow-down allow to
220 control the sound volume.
221 * ./plugins/access/http.c: for streams which are not seekable, we fall

233 * ./include/modules.h, ./include/video_output.h,
234 ./src/video_output/video_output.c, ./plugins/filters/*: added a
235 VOUT_FILTER capability. Having a clear distinction between VOUTs and
236 VOUT_FILTERs allows us to get rid of ugly hacks. The filters are also
237 stackable now (use --filter=foo:bar:foo etc..).
238 * ./include/configuration.h, ./src/libvlc.h, ./src/libvlc.c: clean-up +
239 added an ADD_USAGE_HINT() configuration macro.
240 * ./FAQ: added QT6 FAQ entry.
241 * ./configure.in: fixed inet_pton detection.
242 * ./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: the blend mode is now a lot smoother, but

268 * ./plugins/a52_system/.cvsignore: what about a little .cvsignore ?
269 * ./plugins/dummy/input_dummy.c: dummy targets such as vlc:nop, vlc:loop
270 and vlc:quit work again.
271 * ./src/playlist/playlist.c: when a new target is added, for instance through
272 the "File" menu, it is automatically played.
273 * ./include/vlc_objects.h: pointers are set to NULL after a call to
275 * ./po/pl.po: updated polish translation, thanks to Arkadiusz Lipiec
276 <alipiec@adrenalina.pl>.
277 * ./src/playlist/playlist.c: lots of playlist behaviour enhancements.
278 * ./src/misc/objects.c: we do not hang on attempt to destroy an object with
279 a non-zero reference count, but we still complain.

281 as play, pause, stop, next, fast etc. work again.
282 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome_*: got rid of lots of useless wrappers which were a
283 workaround for a bug in Glade. Instead, bootstrap.sh does the Glade fixes.
284 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: if there is already a video output with the
285 appropriate properties, we use it.
286 * ./Makefile: minor fix for the BeOS' make-package (icon loss).
287 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: release vout when we close spudec.

321 * ./include/main.h: replaced p_sys with explicit variables because it's
322 really much simpler this way.
323 * ./src/misc/beos_specific.cpp: the BeOS BApplication thread now uses the
324 vlc_thread_create / vlc_thread_ready scheme to signal readiness.

421 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: fix for skewed display in software RV32
422 mode, courtesy of Pascal Levesque.
423 * ./plugins/beos/InterfaceWindow.h: stopped more than one playlist being
425 * ./plugins/beos/InterfaceWindow.cpp: fixed segfault on exit with playlist

428 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c, ./plugins/satellite/satellite_tools.c: compilation
430 * ./plugins/sdl/aout_sdl.c: fixed an endianness issue created by a
431 brain-dead developer :p
432 * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: the "Eject" button is enabled only after we
434 * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: the toolbar is now flat and less cubist.
435 * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: got rid of the ugly slider with some winXP
437 * ./plugins/win32/messages.cpp: added a config option to limit the number of
438 messages in the log window (default is set to 500).
439 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_headers.c: don't try to deference a null
441 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c: compilation fix.
442 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: removed the obsolete artificial delay when switching
444 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: added ejection code for Win32.
445 * ./plugins/win32/*: enabled the "Eject" button (thanks Ipkiss).
446 * ./include/configuration.h: changed ADD_BOOL and ADD_BOOL_WITH_SHORT config
447 macros to accept a default value as an argument.
448 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: modified the command line parsing to accept
449 --foo and --no-foo when a "foo" boolean config option is defined.
450 * ./src/interface/main.c: modified the help menu to indicate whether the
451 option is enabled or disabled by default.
452 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: when the video output hasn't received
453 a new picture for a while, it redisplays the last displayed one. This will
454 be useful for DVD menus, but also solves the "picture becomes black when
455 vlc is paused" issue.
456 * ./plugins/dummy/dummy.c: added a CATEGORY_HINT to the config.
457 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: small change to the ToggleFullscreen routine
458 to avoid a flickering during the switch.
459 * ./plugins/filters/*: fixed inconsistencies.
460 * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.dfm: new icons for the toolbar buttons.
461 * ./plugins/win32/network.cpp: URL can now start with "http://" in the
463 * ./plugins/win32/about.dfm: updated the About dialog box.
464 * ./include/video.h: added a b_force flag to picture_t so that we can force
465 the display of an image even if it is late.
466 * ./plugins/filter/*: filters are now configurable through the configuration
467 system. Patch from Sigmund Augdal <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>.
468 * ./po/vlc.pot: updated potfile.
469 * ./po/pl.po: polish translation, courtesy of Arkadiusz Lipiec
470 <A.Lipiec@elka.pw.edu.pl>.

472 * ./plugins/aa/aa.c: removed all palette code as it was unused.
473 * ./plugins/aa/aa.c: moved the aa_fastrender call from vout_Display to
475 * ./plugins/aa/aa.c: added support for resizing and right-click menu.
476 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: in order to make ac3 working in avi file, moved
477 some code from ac3 decoder to mpeg_system.c. (skip 3 bytes is now done in
478 mpeg_system.c and no longer in ac3 audio decoder).
479 * src/misc/netutils.c: tests if message from vlcs begins with 'E:' or 'I:'
480 instead of testing 'E: ' and 'I: ' (to simplify miniVLCS).
481 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c, ./plugins/avi/libioRIFF.c: added more safety tests.
482 * ./include/inpu_ext-dec.h: added a check to fifo->b_die after the call
483 to BitstreamNextDataPacket() in GetChunk().
486 Thu, 23 May 2002 01:27:05 +0200
488 * ./plugins/access/http.c: fixed HTTP input under Win32
489 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.h: bugfix for the I420 to YUY2 MMX chroma
490 transformations, with the help of Pascal Levesque.
491 * ./plugins/directx/directx.c: UnregisterClass() in MODULE_DEACTIVATE. If
492 we don't do this, trying to use the class when the plugin is reloaded will
494 * win32: replaced TUpDown components by TCSpinEdit ones, which allow
495 values greater than 32767. It fixes the audio bug ocurring when a
496 configuration file is saved under the win32 interface
497 * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: Added some extra space between
498 statusbar and toolbar when nothing is displayed.
499 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: on win32 the logger interface shows up a dos
501 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c: fixed uninitialized variable
502 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: simplified GtkRebuildCList()
503 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: changes to reduce segfaults on exit,
504 and also allow only one Playlist window.
505 * ./include/modules_inner.h: fixed a crash when reopening a hidden
507 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: on Win32 the DVD access plugin has to be
508 explicitly requested. This avoids crashes when the input thread tries
509 to open files as dvds.
510 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: fixed a side-effect bug causing crashes
512 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.c: margin support for the 420 planar to 422
513 packed chroma transformations.
514 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed a bug with the input remaining stuck when no
515 network data was present.
516 * win32: fixed a stupid bug in the Network dialog.
517 * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a little memleak.
518 * ./src/input/input_dec.c: removed useless code.
519 * ./src/input/input.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: fixed access to uninitialized
521 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_demux.c: fixed the pf_demux return value.
522 * ./configure.in: tried to fix the -lavcodec detection.
523 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed x11 and xvideo alternate fullscreen.
524 * ./plugins/network/ipv6.c: experimental support for Windows IPv6
525 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: added an option to disable the dynamic range
527 * ./Makefile.opts.in: removed configuration stuff which does not need to
528 rebuild anything to Makefile.config, so that editing it will not cause
530 * ./plugins/beos/VideoWindow.h, ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: improved
531 Overlay and Bitmap output modes.
532 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.m, ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.m: removed
534 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_controller.[mh]: you can now drag & drop files onto
535 the vlc dock icon. CFBundleDocumentTypes in Info.plist doesn't seem to have
536 any effect, so you'll have to hold down command-option when dropping until
538 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: removed previous patch to the video
539 output since it causes problems for some people.
540 * ./plugins/macosx/*: worked around a bug in seeking.
541 * ./include/threads_func.h: OS X port now uses real-time threads.
542 * ./configure.in: fixes for ffmpeg and mad.
543 * ./extras/MacOSX/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib/objects.nib: OS X intf
544 is now more consistent with Apple guidelines.
545 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: fixed a segfault I introduced lately in
547 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_vlc_wrapper.m: don't try to eject unless there is
549 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_vlc_wrapper.m: fixed a segfault in the Mac OS X
551 * ./plugins/satellite/input_satellite.c: cosmetic changes in error messages.
552 * ./plugins/gtk/*: gtk and gnome interfaces now use frequency and symbol
554 * ./BUGS: removed fixed entries.
555 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: initialize p_spudec->p_vout to NULL to
556 prevent segfaults if InitThread does not complete.
557 * ./plugins/text/rc.c: on win32 the rc plugin opens a new console.
558 * ./plugins/filters/*: filters were using memalign but freeing p_data instead
560 * ./extras/Win32_msvc/vlc.dsp: updated MSVC++ project.
561 * ./src/interface/main.c: small corrections to the LONGTEXT descriptions in
563 * ./AUTHORS: a few additions.
564 * ./vlc.spec: updates, courtesy of Yves Duret <yves.duret@mandrakesoft.com>.
565 * ./configure.in: new --with-ffmpeg option for standard installations.
566 * ./src/interface/main.c: updated long descriptions.
567 * ./plugins/dummy/intf_dummy.c: on win32 the dummy interface plugin will
568 open a dos command box. With this fix, vlc should never fail silently and
569 leave a ghost process running in the background when there isn't any
571 * ./include/config.h: on win32 DVD/VCD_DEVICE defaults to to D:.
572 * ./src/interface/main.c: added a few *_LONGTEXT descriptions.
573 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/video_parser.c: moved the mpeg-motion and mpeg-idct
574 options to the mpeg_vdec plugin.
575 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: mark subpictures destroyed when we end
577 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c: desperate attempt to improve audio output.
578 * ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml, ./doc/vlc.1, ./README.MacOSX.rtf: updated
580 * ./INSTALL.win32: updated INSTALL.win32.
581 * ./plguins/directx/vout_directx.c, ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: a little
582 bit of clean-up in the directx video output plugin
583 * ./plugins/macosx/*: fixed Mac OS X resizing.
584 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: warning levels are no longer additive, patch
585 courtesy of Arnaud de Bossoreille de Ribou <bozo@via.ecp.fr>.
586 * ALL: changed __inline__ with inline (autoconf does the job for us anyway,
587 and mipspro doesn't know about __inline__).
588 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c, ./src/audio_output/aout_ext-dec.c: fixed
589 deadlock in NextFrame() in aout_pcm.c.
590 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c, ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed
591 a bug in the directx window creation function. We register a window
592 class once per process so we must be careful not to free the associated
594 * ./extras/Win32_msvc/vlc.dsp: updated the MSVC++ project files and added
595 support for dirent (vlc compiled with msvc can now load plugins - even
596 compiled with mingw).
597 * ALL: small portability fixes.
598 * ./plugins/macosx/*: menu item to maximize the volume in Mac OS X.
599 * ALL: dropped dependancy on autoconf 2.52.
600 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: modified the directx video plugin to try
601 to create an YUV surface before falling back to an RGB surface when it's
602 not possible to use overlays. Some graphic cards can do the YUV->RGB
603 conversion in hardware during the blitting stage.
604 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: in the directx video plugin, we now
605 request that the RGB surface be created in video memory. The reasoning
606 behind this is that usually surfaces in video memory benefit from more
607 hardware acceleration (like for instance hw rescaling, hw blitting, etc.).
608 * ./plugins/directx/directx.c: added two options to the directx video plugin
609 to disable the above features (mainly because my video driver is buggy and
610 doesn't handle them well).
611 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: small cosmetic changes to the generation of
613 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fix for config_GetHomeDir() on win32.
614 SHGetFolderPath() is located in shfolder.dll not shell32.dll.
615 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: fix for the gtk preferences dialog box. To
616 be sure that an int or float value is actually changed we call
617 gtk_spin_button_update() in the GtkInt/FloatChanged() event handler.
618 * ./debian/control: made the Build-Depends: entry a one-liner (Closes
620 * ./src/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: a lock was not released.
621 * ./plugins/text/rc.c: added a safety lock.
622 * ./plugins/gtk/*: new Network dialog box for Gtk and Gnome interfaces.
623 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: you can now force the mpeg_audio demux
625 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_headers.c: update reference in case of sequence
627 * ./src/input/input_clock.c: don't keep the control lock during the pause.
628 * ./plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c, ./src/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: check for
629 b_die and b_error in all loops so that we don't remain stuck waiting for
630 data whereas the vlc has tried to quit.
631 * ./src/misc/mtime.c: we use nanosleep whenever possible (patch from Meuuh).
632 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c : it will not segfault with broken avi with an unknown
634 * ./src/misc/mtime.c: removed usage of usleep (not thread safe) (by Meuuh).
635 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: video output patch to improve handling
636 of late pictures (by Meuuh).
637 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c, src/interface/intf_playlist.c: disabled
638 calls to realloc(_,0) in a similar way to input_programs.c.
639 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_seek.c: fix random segfaults on title change (i_cell
640 should be tested _before_ we access the structures).
641 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed memory corruption by setting a few
642 pointers to NULL after they have been free()ed.
643 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: removed now useless ASSERTs.
644 * ./plugins/beos/*: improved overlay and bitmap support, not tested on nVidia
645 cards. Lower CPU usage and no thread created per frame.
646 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c: added a sanity check.
647 * ./plugins/vcd/*: vcd access plugin now uses mpeg_ps demux instead of its
649 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_qdview.m: attempt to fix the video output with
651 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: probably fixed most "crash when changing
652 audio track" problems by zeroing the p_ac3dec structure.
653 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: fixed a "INPUT_MAX_ALLOCATION reached"
655 * ./src/input/input_dec.c, ./src/input/input_programs.c: check size to avoid
657 * ./plugins/win32/network.*: new Network dialog box.
658 * ./src/input/input.c, ./plugins/access/http.c, ./plugins/access/udp.c: added
659 the input_FDNetworkClose() function to be called when closing a networking
660 stream instead of input_FDClose().
661 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: use closesocket() instead of close() at the end
662 of the network_ChannelJoin() for WIN32.
663 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed an issue with long options from
664 modules where option arguments and playlist entries were mixed.
665 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: fixed endianness issue; subtitles colors
667 * ./plugins/satellite/input_satellite.c: fixed a compilation warning.
668 * ./configure.in: added libdvbpsi version check.
669 * ./include/modules_inner.h: fixed a bug in module reinitialization,
670 which should fix crashes after a long pause.
671 * ./src/input/*: fixed a bug (glitch/segfault) when seeking.
672 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: we handle PCR even if they are not attached
674 * ./configure.in: new --with-mad-tree configure option.
675 * ./BUGS: updated BUGS file.
676 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: it should now be possible to quit when reading
678 * ./src/misc/iso-639.def, ./include/iso_lang.h, ./src/misc/iso_lang.c:
680 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c, ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c,
681 ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: adapted DecodeLanguage calls to the new
683 * plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: ISO-639-2 descriptors handling.
684 * ./include/mmx.h, ./plugins/imdct/*: gcc-3.1 compilation fixes courtesy
685 of Yves Duret and other Mandrakesoft guys I don't know.
686 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_vlc_wrapper.m: do not eject when we're reading from
688 * ./src/misc/modules.c: if a module has a zero-scored capability, we don't
689 try to use it, unless it was explicitely requested (--vout for example).
690 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: fixed an aspect ratio issue (thanks Meuuh).
691 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: fixed an old old bug in TS demux, thank you
693 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: to avoid problem with PS, test only the
694 first 4 bytes for mpeg header so some broken files, and all web radio will
695 not work. You can change this by changing value of MPEGAUDIO_MAXTESTPOS.
696 * ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml: spelling mistakes, small updates, harmonization with
697 other documentations (thank you Alexis).
698 * ./plugins/satellite/*: some fixes in options parsing (thank you Sam).
699 * ./extras/MacOSX/Resources/vlc.icns: new OS X icon, courtesy of Joeri van
700 Dooren <joeri@van.dooren.be>.
701 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/video_decoder.c: Mac OS X fix.
702 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: you should again be able to play PS
703 streams (I hope it will be enough). Sorry.
704 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: CVS version of ffmpeg can now decode
705 msmpeg4 v1 v2, so I added support for this. But you can always use
706 the old ffmpeg library without any problem (I hope ;).
707 * ./include/video.h : added new fourcc codes for avi.
708 * ./plugins/filter/clone.c: New filter, `--filter clone', duplicates
709 display. To duplicate 12 times, use `--filter clone:12'.
710 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c, ./plugins/x11/xvideo.c: --xvideo-chroma flag to
711 force the XVimage format used.
712 * ./plugins/text/ncurses.c: ncurses interface improvements by Thomas Graf.
713 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: we don't use any more U32_AT.
714 * ./plugins/macosx/*: disabled auto-hiding of mouse cursor since it doesn't
715 work when browsing menus; instead, click in the video window
716 * ./plugins/macosx/*: fixed a major bug in the spu decoder.
717 * ./plugins/macosx/*: Objective-C files are now .m.
718 * ./plugins/macosx/*: fixed menus.
719 * ./plugins/macosx/*: menus for Program/Title/Chapter/Languages.
720 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: we use input_ClockManageRef to do synchro.
721 * ./include/common.h, ./include/input_ext-plugins.h: exported
722 input_ClockGetTS for plugins.
723 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: a demux for mpeg audio stream (file,
725 * ./src/interface/main.c: if Ctrl-C doesn't kill vlc cleanly for any
726 reason, user just needs to hit Ctrl-C again 1 second later and we'll
727 exit disgustingly instead of freezing.
728 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_vlc_wrapper.c: menu code fixes.
729 * ./plugins/macosx/*: fixed Mac OS X VOUT_SIZE_CHANGE signal.
730 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: corrected some bad lock/unlock.
731 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: can now use --novideo.
732 * ./plugins/macosx/*: improvements of the OS X GUI.
733 * ./plugins/mad/*: added mad plugin downscale config option for selecting
734 downscaling routine. Choices are: fast, mpg321. Default the fast version
735 is used. The downscale option mpg321 uses an algorithm that adapts to
736 dither errors. This routine is borrowed from MPG321 code.
737 * ./plugins/mad/*.c: mono audio streams get now duplicated on the right
738 channel instead of silencing the right channel (untested).
739 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c, ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: improvements.
740 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: video plugins that don't handle
741 rescaling themselves have to let the video_output thread know about
742 resizing events (with VOUT_SIZE_CHANGE event). (this part needs some
743 clean-up but it is basically working for the X11 and SDL plugins).
744 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: fixed fullscreen for the SDL plugin.
745 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c, ./plugins/mga/xmga.c: xmga and sdl now switch to
746 fullscreen on double-click.
747 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: try to not freeze when reaching end file.
748 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c, ./src/video_output.c: fixed the resizing and
749 scaling of the X11 video output.
750 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: clicking on the video doesn't pause it anymore
751 (use spacebar for this), but double-clicking will now switch between
752 fullscreen and window mode.
753 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: the Apply button in the preferences menu
754 is grayed out unless there's a change to apply.
755 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: GtkConfigApply() now clears the list of
756 config changes before returning.
757 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: fixed ipv4.so compilation under QNX.
758 * ./configure.in: deactivated ipv6.so under QNX for now.
759 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: more stable audio output with more output
761 * ./BUGS: no text in the status bar with gtk intf, no window title in gtk
762 intf on some machines, correct title on another.
763 * ./plugins/gtk/*.glade, ./plugins/gtk/*_interface.*: fix for interface
764 autoshrink when toolbar text isn't displayed.
765 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk_display.*:
766 callbacks for the hide tooltips and toolbar text options.
767 * ./plugins/mad/*: aout fifo adapts it size according to the length of the
768 first frame. The change is needed for MPEG1/2 layer III, because the size
769 of output pcm from mad_decoder is different.
770 * ./include/modules_inner.h, ./src/misc/configuration.c: support for config
772 * ./configure.in: we check support for variadic macros (screw Borland!).
773 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c: new option lets you hide the text of the
774 GNOME interface toolbar.
775 * ./FAQ: small FAQ update. Please note that everyone can update this FAQ if
776 they want, it is not my property :-).
777 * ./AUTHORS: added quite a few missing names.
778 * ./plugins/qnx/vout_qnx.c: port of the QNX vout plugin to the vout4 API,
779 courtesy of Pascal Levesque <Pascal.Levesque@mindready.com>.
780 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: you can now use slow and fast reading. After seeking,
781 audio and video synchro is better.
782 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: misc sound fixes.
783 * ./configure.in: fixed VCD double detection.
784 * ./src/misc/configuration.c, ./plugins/text/logger.c: the configuration file
785 and the log file are opened in text mode. This mode should only have a
786 meaning on Win32 and isn't supposed to break any other platform. If does
787 give you any trouble then shout.
788 * ./configure.in: added a --with-a52-tree option to the configure script.
789 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: FOURCC_YUY2 subtitles support (for NVidia
790 overlay) courtesy of Rudolf Cornelissen <rag.cornelissen@inter.nl.net>.
791 * ./plugins/kde/*: configuration dialog for the KDE interface, courtesy
792 of Sigmund Augdal <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>.
793 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.h: workaround for yet another annoying gcc
794 behaviour with inline assembly (seems to be BeOS-specific). If anyone has
795 a better idea than the huge "memory" constraint, please have a look at
796 the MMX_CALL() macro!
797 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: corrected a bug with broken avi files.
798 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: added config_Get/PutFloatVariable to
799 p_sysmbols. Thanks to Sigmund Augdal for pointing this bug out.
800 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c: on Win32 the aout_pcm thread is given a high
801 priority. This avoids lots of audio underruns, especially when moving
802 around the video window.
803 * plugins/avi/avi.c : changed in order to read more avi files, Meuuh
804 you can now read your file ;) (but audio is awful, perhaps because of mad
805 plugin ?). Fix a bug for audio with some avi files.
806 * ./plugins/satellite/satellite.c: fixed a compilation issue in satellite
807 input. It now uses common or libdvbpsi ts demux. Untested cause I can't
808 get our Nova Card work again.
809 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: restored vout_CopyPicture(). It is
810 needed by the directx plugin damnit ;-)
811 * ./include/config.h: restored AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION to its old value. It
812 should solve quite a few underrun problems.
813 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: a little bit of DirectX plugin clean-up.
814 * ./ipkg/control: added more information in ipkg control file.
815 * ./include/modules_inner.h: the module name is now a default shortcut, for
816 it, no need to manually add it.
817 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c, ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: when in fullscreen
818 mode, the Esc key does not quit immediately, but first escapes from
819 fullscreen mode. User-requested feature.
820 * ./include/os_specific.h: fixed a C++ compilation issue.
821 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: removed the main() declaration because SDL
822 defines it as a macro.
823 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: with some broken avi files, will not freeze, and
824 try to detect end of file.
825 * ./include/threads_func.h: moved the function definitions from threads.h
826 into threads_funcs.h. This allows us to move p_main_sys into p_main
828 * ./configure.in: fixed the --with-gtk-config-path and --with-sdl-config-path
830 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: seek is faster.
831 * ./configure.in: fixed a typo in libdvbpsi handling.
832 * ./plugins/vcd/cdrom_tools: FreeBSD 4.5 port of the vcd input.
833 * ./INSTALL.win32: updated win32 compilation instructions.
834 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: fixed --program option.
835 * ./include/common.h: fixed vlc_memalign.
836 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: now it can play broken files with seek enabled but
837 it's very slow (will be fixed soon).
838 * ./src/misc/beos_specific.c: added system_Configure(). Sorry O:-)
839 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: a video divx ES will no longer be considered
840 as an audio ES (thanks sam).
841 * ./src/misc/darwin_specific.c: added system_Configure().
842 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: cleaned up QTScaleMatrix().
843 * ./plugins/macosx/*: A/V sync should be much more precise.
844 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_qdview.c: borders in fullscreen mode are now black
845 and the movie is centered.
846 * ./extras/MacOSX/vlc.pbproj/project.pbxproj: new creator ID: VLC#.
847 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: exported input_ClockManageRef for fenrir.
848 * ./include/video.h: moved vout_CopyPicture out of the way, an inline
849 function did not make sense here.
850 * ./include/video.h: moved vout_ChromaCmp out of the way.
851 * ./plugins/avi/fourcc.h, ./include/video.h: merged these two files into
853 * ./include/os_specific.h: this file is now always included.
854 * ./include/debug.h: removed this file which was almost useless, and moved
856 * ./include/common.h: fixed vlc_memalign and changed its prototype to
857 follow posix_memalign's.
858 * ./configure.in: dropped usage of $withval and $enableval in favor of the
859 safer variants $with_foo and $enable_foo.
860 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: will not segfault when no audio is found/supported.
861 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: with empty frame(data_packet) it won't segfault.
862 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: use KeyFrame to seek, so video will not be bad as
864 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: moved Program Specific Information
865 decoder to the ts demux module.
866 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/Makefile: added a mpeg_ts_dvbpsi module tha uses
867 libdvbpsi to decode PSIs. It is used by default if the lib is found. It
868 shares much code with mpeg_ts.
869 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed typo. You have to double click on
870 the video window to switch to fullscreen.
871 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: on Win32 the config file is now stored under
872 the "Application Data" folder belonging to the user. (this works if at
873 least IE4 is installed, otherwise the old method is used to get the
875 * ./configure.in: fixed MacOS X module linking problem.
876 * ./src/interface/main.c: we no longer segfault if argc == 0.
877 * ALL: renamed PLUGINS to __PLUGINS__ to avoid conflicts with libraries
879 * ./src/input/input_ext-plugins.c: cosmetic change.
880 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/*: use of _M to avoid conflict with libavcodec.a.
881 * ./plugins/avi/*: a light AVI demux.
882 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/*: a video decoder for divx v3 and opendivx.
883 * ./plugins/win32/preferences.cpp: fixed a compilation bug
884 * ./plugins/avi, ./plugins/ffmpeg: created empty directories for fenrir's
886 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: fixed the spu decoder to take the pitch
887 of the destination picture into account when rendering the subtitles
888 (Implemented only for the YUV modes).
889 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed the mouse autohidding feature in
890 the DirectX plugin (at least partially).
891 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: fixed the DirectX video output for
892 non-overlay modes. It was only working in RGB16 before.
893 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: DirectX video output plugin now uses
894 triple buffering for YUV overlay. This improves the video quality a lot
895 (no tearing) without affecting performance. (I knew double buffering
896 sucked but I just discovered why triple buffering is better: you don't
897 have to wait for the vsync to flip the buffers).
898 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c, ./plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c: temporary fix
899 to avoid retrieving the spu palette from a network stream as if it was
901 * ./src/interface/main.c: tidied the help output code.
902 * ALL: removed underscores from option names and made a few options more
903 self-explanatory, for instance --input_channel becomes --audio-channel;
904 run vlc -H to see what has changed.
905 * ALL: replaced many occurences of "plugin" with the word "module".
906 * ./src/interface/main.c: moved all satellite-specific configuration options
907 to the satellite plugin.
908 * ./po/*: updated translations.
909 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.h: optimized the 420 planar-to-packed chroma
910 transformations. They're now PIC-friendly as well.
911 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_open.c: added Open disc and network panels.
912 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_controller.c: some changes to the control layout.
913 * ./src/interface/main.c: i_warning_level is set to 0 to avoid unwanted
915 * ./po/en_GB.po: British translation.
916 * ./src/interface/main.c, ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed the warning_level
917 handling: "-v" and "--warning" are now working as they should and they also
918 are cumulative (using -vv --warning=3 you end up with i_warning_level=5).
919 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: support for short options. -V, -A, -I
920 are back, and we also have -4 and -6 for IPv4/IPv6.
921 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: added config_GetFloatVariable() and
922 config_PutFloatVariable() to the config module.
923 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: added a --zoom <float> config option.
924 * ./plugins/idct/idct_sparse.c: added a call to RestoreCPUState() in
925 InitIDCT() so that the FPU is still available after a call to InitIDCT().
926 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: deactivated stream buffering when logging to a
928 * ./po/*: re-ran make update-po, fixed a few translations.
929 * ./po/fr.po: completed the french translation.
930 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade, ./plugins/gtk/gnome.glade: synchronized a few
931 strings between the Gtk+ and GNOME modules to avoid duplicate translations.
932 * ./po/de.po: updated german translation. Many thanks to Thomas Graf.
933 * ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml: URL & mailing-lists corrections.
934 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: the last category from the config options
936 * po/nl.po: updated Netherlands translation of interface.
937 * po/fr.po: completed french translations.
938 * ALL: internationalized all configuration strings.
939 * ./src/interface/main.c: we now set LC_CTYPE to get the right charset.
940 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: lots of simplifications in the code.
941 * ./po/vlc/pot: updated translations.
944 Thu, 18 Apr 2002 06:43:42 +0200
946 * ./vlc.spec: fixed build dependencies.
947 * ./configure.in: when -lintl is available, we now also link plugins with it.
948 * ./include/threads.h: fixed a segfault under Solaris, thanks to Meuuh.
949 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: RGB 24bpp and 32bpp support.
950 * ./configure.in: switched version to 0.3.1.
951 * ./vlc.spec: imported Mandrakesoft's latest enhancements.
952 * ./configure.in, ./plugins/network/ipv6.c: support for the GNU glibc
953 extension gethostbyname2(), thanks to Thomas Graf.
954 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: finally fixed MacOS X aspect ratio. If you
955 know how to center the picture in the screen, and make the remaining space
956 black instead of white, PLEASE drop me a mail!
957 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: in TS demux, a program is selected only if a
958 PMT for it was found. This should fix the problem that occured when reading
959 a file directly extracted from a satellite card.
960 * ./plugins/access/udp.c: UDP access plugin uses input_SetProgram.
961 * ./AUTHORS: added people locations, just for fun.
962 * ./configure.in: disabled SSE plugins when using mingw32.
963 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: disabled the AltiVec warning message on the
964 PowerPC platform because it was misleading.
965 * ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: have dvdread plug-in respond to dvd: URLs.
966 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_macosx.c: MacOS X interface shouldn't take as much
968 * ./plugins/motion/motionaltivec.c: fixed a bug in AltiVec-enabled MC (thanks
970 * ./plugins/memcpy/memcpyaltivec.c: fixed a case of segfault in AltiVec-
972 * ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml: big update of Henri's howto.
973 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/*: support for pictures with a pitch different from
974 the picture width, inspired by Gildas Bazin.
975 * ./plugins/satellite/input_satellite.c: fixed a typo in satellite input.
976 * ./src/interface/main.c: added options to configure antenna (sat_lnb_lof1,
977 sat_lnb_lof2, sat_lnb_slof and sat_diseqc). They only appear if satellite
979 * ./plugins/satellite/input_satellite.c: fixed a few bugs in satellite
980 input (device was not closed in every failure case, symbol rate limits
981 in gnome interface were wrong).
982 * ./plugins/gtk/*: added FEC choice in command line, gtk and gnome
983 interfaces. Command line is now satellite:<frequency(Hz)>,
984 <polarization(0=V,1=H)>,<fec(1=1/2,2=2/3...)>,<symbol rate(kbyte/s)>
985 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: implemented a fix for nVidia overlays
987 * ./Makefile: fixed the Win32 interface under Win2k/XP.
988 * ./src/misc/modules_plugins.h: implemented a dlerror()-like wrapper
990 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ps.c: fixed another bug in PS demux: the first
991 program added was at the same time declared as the current program and as
992 a new program, which made the ES be selected two times.
993 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed a bug in input_SetProgram, that made
994 the ps file input launch without video.
995 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: fixed code to close vout window, does not
997 * ./po/fr.po: french translation update
998 * ./configure.in: fixed a bug in the libdvdread detection.
999 * ./configure.in: fixed plugin compilation under Win32.
1000 * ./vlc.spec: imported MandrakeSoft's enhancements.
1001 * ./doc/developer/decoders.xml: fixed a typo preventing compilation.
1002 * ./plugins/aa/aa.c: we now parse the AAOPTS environment variable.
1003 * ./plugins/aa/aa.c: a few simplifications in the code.
1004 * ./src/input/input.c: made file access plugin use input_SetProgram so that
1005 we may change program when reading a file.
1006 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed a bug in input_SetProgram.
1007 * ./src/interface/main.c: added --input_program <int> option, to choose the
1008 program from the command line.
1009 * ./plugins/memcpy/memcpyaltivec.c: fixed AltiVec-enabled version of
1011 * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed --memcpy switch.
1012 * ./Makefile: changed CFLAGS_VLC to vlc_CFLAGS (last-minute changes are
1014 * ./README - Mac OS X.rtf: new README file for MacOS X.
1015 * ./Makefile: fixed the Win32 interface under Win2k/XP.
1016 * ./src/misc/modules_plugins.h: implemented a dlerror()-like wrapper
1018 * ./configure.in: wrote a better test for libdvdread detection.
1019 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade: added lines this #@%$! Glade had munched, fixes
1020 a segfault in the Gtk+ popup menu when toggling the interface.
1021 * ./plugins/motion/motion.c: fixed a compilation issue on compilers which
1022 do not accept empty macro arguments.
1025 Sat, 6 Apr 2002 04:27:50 +0200
1027 * ./doc/release-howto.txt: updated documentation.
1028 * ./vlc.spec: added missing plugin filenames to the build process.
1029 * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.dfm: swapped two mixed up tooltips.
1030 * ./Makefile: fixed make dist and make distclean.
1031 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: compilation fix.
1032 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: fixed ejection code.
1033 * ./plugins/text/ncurses.c: fixed compilation of the ncurses plugin.
1034 * ./vlc.spec: updated specfile.
1035 * ./Makefile, ./configure.in: misc BeOS build fixes.
1036 * ./plugins/win32/win32.cpp: fixed `--intf intfwin' which wasn't working.
1037 * ./Makefile: we don't include the Gtk+ and SDL DLLs in the win32 package
1038 anymore, the package is now 700k instead of 4MB.
1039 * ./configure.in, ./Makefile, ./Makefile.opts.in: replaced LIB_FOO with
1040 foo_LDFLAGS and CFLAGS_BAR with bar_CFLAGS for faster builds, and moved a
1041 lot of stuff from Makefile.opts.in back to configure.in.
1042 * ./install-win32: updated script for NSIS 1.96.
1043 * ./configure.in: added --enable-intfwin to enable the win32 interface and
1044 --with-bcbuilder to tell make where to find Borland C++ Builder.
1045 * ./plugins/win32/intfwin.bpr: we now build intfwin.so at the right place.
1046 * ./plugins/win32/Makefile: intfwin.so can be built using commandline.
1047 * ./configure.in, ./include/threads.h, ./include/common.h: a custom defs.h
1048 file isn't needed for the intfwin plugin anymore.
1049 * ./INSTALL.win32: updated compilation instructions for the intfwin plugin.
1050 * ./AUTHORS: added ipkiss.
1051 * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: disabled the "hide interface" menu
1052 item, not yet implemented.
1053 * ./plugins/win32/about.dfm: replaced the outdated author list with a
1054 "VideoLAN Team" entry.
1055 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade, plugins/gtk/gnome.glade, ./plugins/kde/kde.cpp:
1056 replaced the outdated author list with a "VideoLAN Team" entry.
1057 * ./debian/rules, ./debian/control: deactivated the vlc-kde package because
1058 it does not work, and removed the vlc-a52 package because liba52 is
1059 statically linked into vlc.
1060 * ./debian/control: added more helpful package descriptions.
1061 * ALL: changed version to 0.3.0. Yeah, it's coming.
1062 * ./Makefile: fixed make dist.
1063 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a vout4 image starvation bug.
1064 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: we look for libdvdcss.so.2 as well as -.so.1.
1065 * ./configure.in: BSD/OS fixes thanks to Steven M. Schultz.
1066 * ./Makefile: renamed the `snapshot' rule to `dist'.
1067 * ./Makefile: removed the `snapshot-nocss' rule which isn't needed anymore.
1068 * ./Makefile.modules: modules now depend on Makefile.opts.
1069 * ./configure.in: added (hopefully) explicit messages on how to get
1070 libdvdcss and link vlc with it.
1071 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: removed inclusion of dvd_udf.h.
1072 * ./plugins/win32/*: Added management for secondary config dialogs
1073 * ./plugins/ogg/*: added preliminary files for an Ogg/Vorbis decoder a
1074 contributor is currently working on.
1075 * ALL: removed libdvdcss from the vlc tree.
1076 * ALL: removed libdvdread from the vlc tree.
1077 * ./acconfig.h: removed this file.
1078 * ./plugins/dvd/dummy_dvdcss.c: merged this file into dvd.c.
1079 * ./AUTHORS: moved a few gentlemen to the libdvdcss AUTHORS file.
1080 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: use the dvd_device config option.
1081 * ./po/ja.po: added Japanese translation from Fumio Nakayama
1082 <endymion@ca2.so-net.ne.jp>.
1083 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: fixed disc ejection code.
1084 * ./include/threads.h: new pthread implementation for WinNT/2K/XP. This
1085 implementation shouldn't be subject to race conditions as it is using
1086 SignalObjectAndWait() from the Win32 API. As this should be somehow slower
1087 than the old method (still used on Win9x), you can specify that you want
1088 to use the old method with the "fast_pthread" config option.
1089 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: added a new p_main_sys global variable. This
1090 variable is a pointer to an OS specific structure which is defined in
1091 *_specific.h. This structure can be filled by the already existing
1092 System_Init() function and is a nice way to avoid too many #ifdefs.
1093 * ./include/defs.h.in: got rid of the DVD_DEVICE macro. We now use the
1094 dvd_device config option. This creates a small memory leak as we don't free
1095 the string obtained from config_GetPszVariable, but I think we can live
1097 * ./configure.in: the SSE plugins are disabled on the mingw32 build as they
1098 don't work (because memalign is not implemented on win32, and malloc only
1099 aligns on an 8 bytes boundary).
1100 * ./INSTALL.win32: fixed a small mistake.
1101 * ./include/config.h: fixed config directory name for windows.
1102 * ./plugins/win32: the network dialog now respects the preferences settings.
1103 * ./src/input/input_ext-plugins.c: compilation fix. :-ppppp
1104 * ./plugins/memcpy/fastmemcpy.h: AltiVec-enabled version of fastmemcpy.
1105 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: use ImageBuffer instead of ScreenBuffer in
1106 OS X video output (should be faster).
1107 * ./src/interface/main.c: check that channels have been created before
1108 the call to network_ChannelJoin.
1109 * ./plugins/win32/*: fixed a few bugs in the preferences.
1110 * ./plugins/win32/*: better auto-resizing of the main window.
1111 * ./plugins/win32/*: the disc dialog now respects the preferences settings.
1112 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: small compilation fix.
1113 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: added a test for the nooverlay option.
1114 * ./include/config.h: changed directory of the config file for BeOS to be
1115 consistant with OS standard.
1116 * ./configure.in: BeOS, liba52 and chroma plugin compilation fixes.
1117 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: removed a warning.
1118 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: Solaris fixes by Meuuh.
1119 * ./FAQ: removed outdated stuff.
1120 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed yet another bug related to the event
1122 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: removed a few debug messages.
1123 * ./extras/Win32_msvc/*: Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 6 project files. This
1124 is useful mainly for debugging as the hardware accelerated plugins can't
1125 be compiled with msvc.
1126 * ./plugins/downmix/ac3_downmix_sse.c, ./plugins/downmix/ac3_downmix_3dn.c:
1127 Win32 compilation fixes when downmixsse and downmix3dn are declared as
1129 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed the waiting on the event thread
1130 creation in the directx plugin.
1131 * ./Makefile: updated the "package-win32" rule.
1132 * ./install-win32: all txt files are now converted to dos format (CRLF).
1133 * ./doc/win32/Cross-Compile-Howto.txt: VLC-Win32 Cross-Compile Howto,
1134 courtesy of Bill Eldridge.
1135 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: improved overlay detection, default colour
1137 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: allow the user to resize the configuration
1139 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: moved config_GetIntVariable out of the
1141 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: you can now set a maximum height for the
1142 configuration windows in the gtk and gnome plugins. This patch _doesn't
1143 change_ the look of the interface unless this interface tries to use more
1144 space than allowed, in which case scrollbars are added to make the
1145 navigation easy. Note that this setting only affects the default size the
1146 interface will use, the user is then free to change the size of the window
1148 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: tooltips are now triggered only in
1149 specific places. This is a lot less intrusive and annoying for the users.
1150 * ./plugins/win32: fixed the bug on exiting the vout pressing 'q'.
1151 * ./plugins/beos/*: implemented an "always-on-top" feature for the interface
1152 window, RGB16 Overlay supported again, resizing is now implemented
1154 * ./plugins/win32: subtitles should work, now.
1155 * ./plugins/access/udp.c: disabled the server argument in udpstream: because
1156 it confuses users and is not of any practical use.
1157 * ./src/interface/main.c: fix for sparc.
1158 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: don't try to stat() the dvd drive letter on
1160 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: disabled YUV overlay double buffering for
1161 now, as it seems to actually be slower.
1162 * ./include/threads.h: temporary fix in vlc_cond_signal() for win32 (I really
1163 should use SignalObjectAndWait() on WinNT so we can avoid race conditions
1164 in the pthread code). This fixes a problem noticed on WinXP where vlc would
1165 freeze regularly and eat-up all the CPU (fun no?).
1166 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: when unselecting an ES, we must ged rid of
1167 p_es->p_pes so that it is regererated when we select this ES again. It made
1168 vlc segfault when switching from some stream to another, or when switching
1169 program in satellite input.
1170 * ./plugins/access/udp.c: UDP access plug-in can now receive MPTS (Multiple
1171 Program TS) and switch programs.
1172 * ./plugins/macosx/*: audio and video output go to time-constrained
1173 scheduling [OS X port].
1174 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: some dirty ifdefs for a nicer gnome
1175 interface (gnome buttons, gnome dialogs).
1176 * ./po/nl.po: translation of user interface messages to Netherlands.
1177 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: new options "gtk_hide_toltips"
1178 or "gnome_hide_tooltips". Tooltips are enabled by default. This option is
1179 only considered on module initialization.
1180 * ./configure.in: GNU make detection.
1181 * ./extras/MacOSX/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib/objects.nib: deleted
1182 non-working fullscreen menu item [OS X].
1183 * ./plugins/access/http.c, ./plugins/access/udp.c: udp and http no longer
1184 modify p_input->psz_name.
1185 * ALL: various little portability fixes.
1186 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: changed the behaviour of the config file:
1187 now all the config options are saved. <string> config options which have
1188 no default value are also saved in the config file but as an empty string,
1189 and config_LoadConfigFile will ignore empty config options, which also
1190 means we cannot pass an empty string as a <string> config option. (this
1191 shouldn't matter anyway).
1192 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: modified the gtk interface to save an
1193 empty <string> option as a NULL pointer.
1194 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: modified config_LoadConfigFile to consider an
1195 empty <string> option as a NULL pointer.
1196 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: save button (inadvertently suppressed).
1197 * ./plugins/win32: added toolbar icons (thanks xav), we can no longer edit
1198 plugin names in the preferences :)
1199 * ./plugins/win32: the tool button for playlist is now a toggle button.
1200 * ./plugins/beos/InterfaceWindow.cpp: disabled controls if the playlist was
1202 * ./plugins/win32/*: added a win32 interface plugin, developed with Borland
1203 C++ Builder. To build the plugin, follow the instructions in
1205 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: fixed an ugly structure, the tabs are not
1206 verticaly expanded as they were, small enhancements.
1207 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk_common.h: new
1209 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: modifications of some widgets, the
1210 structure, cosmetic changes.
1211 * ./src/interface/main.c: typos, a couple of new descriptions.
1212 * ./src/interface/main.c: moved the "display" option from main to the
1213 relevant plugins. ( We now have the x11_display, xvideo_display,
1214 xmga_display and ggi_display options ).
1215 * ./INSTALL-win32.txt: fixed a little omission.
1216 * ./src/plugins/gtk/*: fixed a bug that made vlc segfault when choosing a
1217 program, change to another and come back to the first one.
1218 * ./src/plugins/gtk/*: added gtk and gnome interfaces for satellite input. We
1219 should find a way to hide the button if satellite support is not compiled.
1220 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: implemented correct scaling and used new
1221 window size variables. Beta always on top for the interface window. New
1223 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: fixed a problem in the MacOS X aout which
1224 caused the previously played audio frames to be played when there were no
1225 new frames available.
1226 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: MacOS X vout now uses the height/width
1227 calculated in video_output.c.
1228 * ./configure.in: Win32 fix.
1229 * ./configure.in: miscellaneous fixes for the OS X port.
1230 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: the calculation for the initial video
1231 window dimensions is now done in video_output.c and made available into
1232 p_vout->i_window_height/width. This allows to get rid of duplicated code
1233 and unify the behaviour of the video output plugins. (not all the plugins
1234 have been modified because I didn't want to break anything).
1235 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: moved GetConfigurationFromCmdLine() into
1236 configuration.c and renamed it to config_LoadCmdLine().
1237 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: config_GetHomeDir doesn't use getpwuid_r
1238 anymore as this was creating some problems on solaris. This function now
1239 uses getpwuid and is called only once to store the home directory into the
1241 * ./plugins/satellite/*: added satellite input. It works with WinTV Nova
1242 card, and siemens 0.9.4 drivers from www.linuxtv.org.
1243 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: fixed stupid bug in stupid
1244 ConvertPrintfFormatString() function.
1245 * ./plugins/win32/waveout.c: fixed the "waveout not closing" bug. We need to
1246 reset the waveout device before closing it.
1247 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: fixed a bus error on UltraSparc.
1248 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: Win32 and Solaris compilation fix.
1249 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: improved scaling, correct aspect ratio even
1250 in full screen mode, duplicate code reduces and framework for Overlay and
1251 OpenGL modes in place.
1252 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: kludge to allow the ALSA module to be
1253 compiled as a plugin. Please test.
1254 * ./include/modules.h: fixed a C++ warning.
1255 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: VCD raw device fix, courtesy of Steven Schultz.
1256 * ./configure.in: better IPv6 detection. IPv6 is disabled under MacOS X (no
1258 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed some bugs in program management:
1259 selected ESs must be attached to the selected program.
1260 * ./plugins/aa: aalib output plugin courtesy of Sigmund Augdal.
1261 * ./configure.in: fixed a few bashisms.
1262 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed build under Solaris.
1263 * ./TODO: updated todo list.
1264 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: fixed a memory leak.
1265 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_pool.c: fixed a memory leak.
1266 * plugins/win32/waveout.c: fixed typo.
1267 * ./configure.in: BeOS compilation fixes.
1268 * ./debian/rules: activated (broken) KDE interface.
1269 * ./plugins/access/http.c: fixed a segfault.
1270 * ./plugins/alsa/aout_alsa.c: fixed a segfault.
1271 * ./include/common.h: fixed the compilation fix for Borland C++ :)
1272 * ./include/common.h: compilation fix for Borland C++.
1273 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: MacOS X aout now uses AudioConverter for
1275 * ./plugins/macosx/*: Various MacOS X intf improvements and bug fixes.
1276 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb8.c: fixed a warning.
1277 * ./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: fixed chroma deinterlacing.
1278 * ./plugins/kde/kde.cpp: the KDE interface compiles again.
1279 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_es.c: fixed a segfault I introduced today.
1280 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: cosmetic fix.
1281 * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a typo in the --help output.
1282 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: fixed a segfault in the vlcs communication; still
1283 unstable but solving other bugs won't do any good without rewriting the
1284 whole playlist code. Which I'm doing right now.
1285 * ./configure.in: MacOS X compile fixes.
1286 * ./src/input/input.c: skip "//" if we find "://" in a resource we have to
1287 play : this allows us touse the syntax udpstream://host.
1288 * ./extras/MacOSX_dvdioctl: removed outdated files.
1289 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: fixed an infinite loop error.
1290 * ./plugins: fixed segfaults in various demux plugins.
1291 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: SDL_VIDEODRIVER can be specified from the
1292 command line; try "--vout sdl:aalib"
1293 * ./configure.in: fixed linking of the ipv4 plugin.
1294 * ./configure.in: DirectX plugin is now correctly detected and configured.
1295 * ./BUGS: updated bug list.
1296 * ./configure.in: ./configure --help should be a lot clearer now.
1297 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb8.c: plain C 8 bpp transformation.
1298 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: plain C 24/32 bpp transformations.
1299 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
1300 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
1301 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
1302 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault.
1303 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: added an alternate fullscreen method. With this
1304 method, _nothing_ is allowed to be displayed on top of the video
1305 (especially not taskbars, etc...). Of course this can also be annoying
1306 sometimes, this is why it's an option.
1307 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: small fix for the config file. The parser
1308 assumes that the config file is divided into sections (a section is the
1309 config data for a plugin and begins with something like [foo]), so the
1310 comment for the beginning of the section must be after the section marker
1312 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: tidied code and prevented curruption on
1313 window not containing the video. Video window now returns to correct size
1314 and position after toggling full screen.
1315 * ./configure.in: more modules are plugins.
1316 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: changed ~/.VideoLan/vlc to ~/.videolan/vlcrc,
1317 and a few cosmetic changes (sorry Gildas for the butchery).
1318 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: C version of the I420 to RV15/16 chroma.
1319 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: this the last piece of the new configuration
1320 module. You can now save your configuration options (only from the
1321 gtk/gnome interface for now). The config file will be saved as
1323 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: we now analyze the subtitle image
1324 data to find the border color and the inner colors when there was
1325 no way to find the palette data (network stream).
1326 * ./plugins/mpeg_system: fixed a parsing bug I introduced yesterday.
1327 * ./Makefile: fixed OS X vlc.app compilation dependencies.
1328 * ./configure.in: fixed the endianness check under Solaris.
1329 * ./src/input/input.c: strings are now initialized to "" instead of NULL.
1330 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: we now properly support the subtitle
1331 palette information we get from the DVD. Subtitles rox !
1332 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: removed all DVD-specific routines
1333 and put them into spu_decoder.c.
1334 * ./plugins/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: removed an ugly loop.
1335 * ./plugins/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: moved iec958/spdif encapsulation from
1336 ac3_spdif to aout_spdif. It will eventually allows to use ac3_adec or a52
1338 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: fixed chapter selection at startup.
1339 * ./src/input/input_dec.c: p_es->p_demux_data is available in
1340 p_config->p_demux_data so that the input can pass information directly to
1341 the decoder. First application: aspect ratio for DVD is read from the ifo
1342 (should fix the buf with aspect ratio in anamorphic DVDs).
1343 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c: the DVD plugin also copies the spu yuv palette in
1344 p_demux_data so that the spudec can display subtitle with the right color
1346 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: removed duplicate code and useless lock in gtk.
1347 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed EOF and Stop segfault in VCD input:
1348 input_BuffersEnd was being called twice.
1349 * ./AUTHORS: updated Tony Castley's e-mail.
1350 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: new resizing and scaling code. More in line
1351 with BeOS standards.
1352 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: a52 plugin updated to use liba52-0.7.3 (which is now
1353 available in debian :)
1354 * ./src/interface/main.c: new configuration option to choose audio output
1355 format at runtime. It allows to select spdif pass-through decoder with
1356 --ac3_adec and to remove the ugly b_ac3 in main.h. As a consequence --spdif
1357 doesn't work anymore: you should use --ac3_adec pass.
1358 * ./src/interface/main.c: return the option name in error message for
1359 unknown option intead of the argument.
1360 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: gtk config interface modified so you can
1361 only have one instance of a plugin config dialog box displayed at one time.
1362 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: new GTK configuration interface. This
1363 interface is generated dynamically at run-time from the configuration data
1364 contained in each plugin.
1365 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: config_PutPszVariable and config_GetPszVariable
1366 are now thread safe.
1367 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: few modifications/optimizations to the config
1369 * ./include/config.h: got rid of all the _VAR macros in config.h.
1370 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: added missing include (MacOS X port).
1371 * ./plugins/dvd/*: fixed EOF segfault at end of DVD.
1372 * ./src/input/input.c: buffer manager is renintialised at area change.
1373 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c, ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: we now exit more
1374 cleanly on initialization error.
1375 * ./plugins/dvd/*: rewrote most functions in DVD plugin. Some old bugs might
1376 have been solved in the operation. The plugin some be more readable now,
1377 and should produce fewaer segfaults (I hope so :p)
1378 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: added some tests in open.
1379 * ./plugins/alsa/aout_alsa.c: spdif support in the ALSA plugin.
1380 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: when reaching the end of a track, moves to the
1382 * ./src/interface/main.c: disabled the GNOME segfault dialog in debug
1383 mode. We want nice, clean segfaults, with huge core files and a lot
1385 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: I hope you liked this bug: DVD demux was always used.
1386 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_demux.c: fixed demux plugin selection.
1387 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: take the lock on stream in VCDInit. Please
1388 test, as I don't have any VCD to do it.
1389 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_parse.c: ac3dec is now less verbose.
1390 * ./src/interface/interface.c: fixed a deadlock when seeking the
1391 stream using the keyboard arrows.
1392 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_display.c: removed an occurance of former angle item in
1394 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: fixed a bug
1395 in ES management introduced lately in DVD/DvdRead.
1396 * ./plugins/dvd/*: beginning of reorganisation in DVD plugin source files,
1397 in order to try to make it easier to understand. There is some work left
1399 * ./plugins/vcd/vcd.c: decreased the score for VCD plugin, as the VCD demuxer
1400 was used even for DVD :p. It should make autodetection work.
1401 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: modified vcd input for the new input III. Still
1402 have problems with end of tracks.
1403 * ./plugins/vcd/vcd.c: modified the command line, as stef did for the DVD.
1404 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: DVD demux was no longer selected under win32.
1405 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: DVD angle
1406 is now handled through a program structure, so that the interface needs
1407 nothing specific to change angle.
1408 * ./src/input/input_clock.c: fixed a bug in clock management where ES without
1409 a program couldn't get timestamped.
1410 * ./plugins/gtk/*: fixed program management in gnome/gtk. Program now also
1412 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: in interface, only display ES associated with
1413 the selected program, or with no program at all.
1414 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed typo in the win32 change to the input parser.
1415 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: more complete
1416 command line parsing for DVD, hopefully working this time.
1417 * ./plugins/network/ipv6.c: IPv6 network module, courtesy of Alexis Guillard
1418 <alexis.guillard@bt.com>, for BT.
1419 * ./src/interface/main.c: --6 and --4 options to force IPv6 or IPv4 (FIXME:
1420 it should be -6 and -4 but I don't know how to do it with the new
1421 configuration module).
1422 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: channel manager now uses a socket from the network
1423 plug-in and is more portable (and probably broken, too :)
1424 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ps.c, ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c:
1425 input_ReadPS and input_ReadTS are now in mpeg_system.c to be more easily
1426 reused by plug-ins other than mpeg_ps and mpeg_ts.
1427 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: we now make sure the aout plugin buffers
1428 always contain between AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION/2 and AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION*3/2
1429 worth of audio. This should solve the audio buffer underruns.
1430 * ./src/input/input.c: fix for the bug in input when filename contains a '@'
1432 * ./src/input/input.c: simplified the win32 specific changes to the input
1433 parser. (I think we can safely assume that no access plugin name will have
1434 a length of one character).
1435 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: DVD access plugin is only called if specified under
1436 windows (no automatic detection).
1437 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: replaced setenv with putenv.
1438 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_open.c: fixed a bug in gtk.
1439 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: new command line for DVD, to get rid of global
1440 options input_title or so.
1441 * ./Makefile: added network to the list of the plugins directories.
1442 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: fixed DVD input under Win32.
1443 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed input parser under win32, which couldn't
1444 understand that c:\windows\bureau is a valid file and doesn't need to be
1445 accessed with the plugin 'C' :-)
1446 * ./AUTHORS: added xav.
1447 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: got rid of int_types.h and did a few changes
1448 Ipkiss will need. Hope I did not break other platforms.
1449 * ./include/common.h: fixed compilation problem related to ssize_t.
1450 * ./include/common.h: various Win32 compilation fixes.
1451 * ./include/input_ext-plugins.h: DVD compiles, but doesn't work yet.
1452 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: fixed some typos in my previous Win32 multicast
1454 * ./plugins/dummy/input_dummy.c: fixed `vlc vlc:quit'.
1455 * ./src/input/input.c: initialized uninitialized variables.
1456 * ./src/input/input.c: initialize p_access_module & p_demux_modules to NULL
1457 when input thread is created.
1458 * ./po/no.po: Norwegian translation by Sigmund Augdal. Berdå ka pø tüt.
1459 * ./src/misc/modules.c: shortcuts for --intf work again, gvlc launches the
1460 Gtk interface, qvlc launches the Qt interface, etc.
1461 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: we now have sound together with --aout scope.
1462 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: removed numerous
1464 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: multicast under Win32 now works with the new
1466 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: dvd and dvdread support
1468 * ./src/input/*, ./plugins/network/*, ./plugins/access/*: Input III
1469 (Episode 1). Major rewrite of the buffer core functions, modularity of
1470 access plugins (file, udp, http), modularity of network stack (ipv4, soon
1471 ipv6), autodetection of the type of stream.
1472 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_headers.c: we no longer crash when the next
1473 stream doesn't have the same image size as the previous one.
1474 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c: another overrun fix; please test.
1475 * ./configure.in: fixed a plugins/dsp.so compilation issue under OpenBSD.
1476 * ./plugins/dsp/aout_dsp.c: OpenBSD compilation fix.
1477 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault on exit.
1478 * ./src/input/input.c: BeOS network support (no idea if it works when you
1479 don't have BONE, though).
1480 * ./include/common.h: BeOS compile fixes.
1481 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: fixed BeOS video output.
1482 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed uninitialized variable in
1484 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: char pointers obtained by
1485 config_GetPszVariable need to be freed.
1486 * ./src/interface/main.c: forgot to add the declaration of server_port.
1487 * ./src/input/input.c: multicast now works under Win32, but this is a _bad_
1489 * ./include/threads.h: support for the State Threads Library, a userland
1490 threads library (http://state-threads.sourceforge.net/). Useless to most
1491 people, but can be handy to debug stuff. Activate with `--enable-st'.
1492 * ./plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c,
1493 ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: adaptation to new configuration scheme for dvd,
1495 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: removed CVS garbage.
1496 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: fixed a compile issue on IA64.
1497 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: new toy plugin, an audio scope module.
1498 * ./src/audio_output/aout_spdif.h: replacement header for aout_common.h.
1499 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: fixed a quite old bug in the audio
1500 output which made the sound stutter when wrapping around the audio output
1502 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: lots of simplifications in the audio
1503 output, got rid of b_stereo.
1504 * ./plugins/gtk/*: added a menu in the GTK and gnome interfaces to change
1505 the current program in multi-program streams (such as ones provided by a
1507 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: new configuration architecture for vlc.
1508 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: fixed array over-run bug in intf_MsgUnsub.
1509 * ./configure.in: don't try to grok altivec with mingw32.
1510 * ./configure.in: --with-directx-path should now indicate the path where the
1511 actual headers are (before the headers had to be in an include subdir). By
1512 the way you can download these header files from the videolan web site.
1513 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: if symbol foo isn't found in the
1514 plugin, we always try to open _foo, whatever the architecture.
1515 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: non-blocking patch from Sigmund Augdal
1516 <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>; hope this time my enhancements don't break
1518 * ./configure.in: gtk*-config detection fix for FreeBSD.
1519 * ./configure.in: removed a bashism.
1520 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for systems without shm.h.
1521 * ALL: QNX compilation fixes here and there; the qnx plugin still doesn't
1523 * ./Makefile: the win32 port now uses a more recent version of gtk+.
1524 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: the log window is now black with colourful text.
1525 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c: ported the log window to the GNOME interface.
1526 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: messages are sent to the queue even if
1527 -vvvv* wasn't specified.
1528 * ./plugins/vcd/cdrom_tools.c: MacOS X VCD support.
1529 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.: various fixes, thanks to Sigmund Augdal.
1530 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: rewrote an ugly loop.
1531 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: added a Gtk+ window containing all the log
1532 messages; updated in real time. To open it, go to "view"->"messages".
1533 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: got rid of TRACE and intf_DbgMsg which were
1535 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: all intf_*Msg functions now write to stderr.
1536 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: implemented a message queue interface plugins
1538 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: wrote the logger interface plugin. Usage:
1539 vlc -I logger:filename.log.
1540 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: lots of fixes in the SPU renderer.
1541 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a typo in aspect ratio
1543 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: MacOS X vout improvements.
1544 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_macosx.c: MacOS X intf now returns, allowing vlc to
1546 * ./Makefile: added a new make target: package-macosx.
1547 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: Win32 compilation fixes (mingw includes
1549 * ./configure.in: configure now checks for ddraw.h and not directx.h.
1550 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: don't include directx.h anymore (this
1551 file isn't part of the directx sdk).
1552 * ./plugins/waveout/waveout.c: moved all the stuff from aout_waveout.c
1553 directly into waveout.c (I don't know what I was thinking about when I
1554 created these two files ;-)
1555 * ./plugins/waveout/waveout.c: until we fix the audio buffer underrun
1556 problem, waveout will be the default audio output on win32 (instead of
1558 * ALL: got rid of *_Probe functions because most of them were duplicates
1559 of the real _Init or _Create functions. That's 1000 lines of code gained.
1560 * ./src/misc/modules.c: we try not to keep the global lock in module_Need,
1561 which should speed up output spawning.
1562 * ./plugins/dummy/input_dummy.c: fixed vlc:quit command.
1563 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: compilation fix.
1564 * ./plugins/macosx/*: preliminary fixes for the vout4 port.
1565 * ./plugins/gtk/*: Win32 fixes.
1566 * ./plugins/beos/*: BeOS fixes from Rudolf Cornelissen.
1567 * ./src/interface/main.c: --desync now really accepts a value in ms.
1568 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed a crash when not opening a VCD.
1569 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: fixed subtitles under BeOS and
1570 other architectures which don't support overlay.
1571 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: compilation fix (include stdint.h).
1572 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: fixed a SEGV.
1573 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: ported the BeOS RGB video output to
1574 vout4. The overlay video output still needs to be written though.
1575 * ./plugins/a52/*: just renamed the liba52_adec plugin into a52 to comply
1576 with the naming convention used by the other plugins.
1577 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: IR remote control plugin by Sigmund Augdal
1578 <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>, activate with --enable-lirc.
1579 * ./configure.in: put liba52_adec in a builtin for PIC/non-PIC reasons.
1580 * ./plugins/liba52_adec/*: new AC3 decoder plugin using liba52 from Aaron
1581 Holtzman and Michel Lespinasse. This plugin isn't used by default, you
1582 have to specify: --ac3_adec liba52.
1583 * ./src/misc/modules.c: changed module_Need to make it possible to
1584 have several modules with the same shortcut name.
1585 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_open.c: fixed a bug in the network dialog.
1586 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: added mstrtime() to module_symbols_t so we
1587 can compile the mpeg_vdec plugin with TRACE mode enabled.
1588 * ./plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c: fixed ac3_spdif which has been broken
1590 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: check frequency in ac3_adec and change fifo
1592 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: moved initialisation of p_aout from
1593 plugins to audio_output.c; if audio output rate is specified at launch
1594 time, we try to use it by default.
1595 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: MMX YUV to RGB transformation for 15bpp.
1596 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: added double-buffering for the directx
1597 plugin in overlay mode.
1598 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: several directx bug-fixes: implemented
1599 the right behaviour on exit, fixed bug preventing the creation of several
1600 windows (the wall filter is working now :-)), fixed unnecessary background
1601 redraws (it made the video flicker), fixed bug where we were losing the
1602 video display because of lost surfaces in video memory, when using hardware
1603 overlay, the output window will now specify "(using hardware overlay)".
1604 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: we don't use DPMS functions if they are
1606 * ./plugins/win32/waveout.c: added a new very simple audio plugin for
1607 Win32. This plugin uses the waveOut API which is a lot easier to use for
1608 streaming stuff than directsound. (you don't have to take care of
1609 underflows anymore because it doesn't use circular buffers). If you are
1610 having a lot of underflows, this plugin is currently better adapted than
1612 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: moved some initialization stuff in
1613 audio_out.c so we can know the caracteristics of the audio stream before
1614 calling aout_Open().
1615 * ./configure.in, Makefile: configure and Makefile tweaking for dvdread
1617 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: fixed a missing function initialization
1618 which made decoder plugins segfault in GetChunk calls.
1619 * ./configure.in: proper soundcard.h check from Yves Duret.
1620 * ./plugins/mpeg_adec/mpeg_adec.c: enabled --stereo option for streams that
1621 pretend to be mono while they are not.
1622 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: fixed an alignment issue in the ac3 decoder.
1623 * ./src/input/input_dec.c: decoders do not necessarily use bit stream (see
1625 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: mad PTS should finally be accurate.
1626 * ./configure.in: some configure changes.
1627 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: libmad_input now takes one frame at a time (see
1628 mad_adec.h for defines)
1629 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: audio_linear_dither() gives better sound
1630 quality then s24_to_s16_pcm(), but also makes audio artefacts louder so
1631 disabled it for now.
1632 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: cleaned up libmad_output.
1633 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: cleaned up InitThread.
1634 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.h: made buffer size match libmad's expectations.
1635 * ./plugins/mad/DESIGN: updated documentation.
1636 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed crashes on exit in the directx
1638 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: vout_PlacePicture is now accepting
1639 picture width=height=0.
1640 * ./configure.in: added extra checks for strange compilers such as
1641 Borland C++ which do not support all gcc options. Note that vlc does
1642 not compile with bcc32 yet, but is getting closer and closer to.
1643 * ./plugins/win32: skeleton for the win32 interface Ipkiss is developing.
1644 * ./config.guess ./config.sub: latest GNU versions.
1645 * ./configure.in: when possible, xvideo is compiled as a plugin.
1646 * ./vlc.spec: fixed a few minor inaccuracies.
1647 * ./debian/control: vlc-gui is no longer depended on, but rather recommended.
1648 * ./src/interface/main.c: --spumargin flag; use this to force displaying
1649 subtitles at the bottom of the screen instead of putting them in the
1650 middle, for instance: `--spumargin 5'.
1651 * ./plugins/qnx/qnx.c, ./plugins/macosx/macosx.c, ./plugins/beos/beos.cpp:
1652 converted the plugin initialization code of the macosx, beos and qnx
1653 code. (please note that they should still not compile as they need
1654 to be adapted to the new Vout4 architecture)
1655 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: major rewrite of the directx video
1656 plugin to adapt it to the new vout4 architecture. This plugin has also
1657 been through a major clean-up and it is now much more robust and optimized.
1658 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: fixed a few problems with the win32 build.
1659 * ./src/interface/main.c: replaced the "overlay" command line option with
1660 "nooverlay". The former was confusing and useless because overlays were
1661 used by default anyway.
1662 * ./vlc.spec: imported MandrakeSoft's new spec file.
1663 * ./debian/control: fixed build-dependencies for vlc-mad.
1664 * ./debian/rules: fixed the vlc-arts and vlc-mad package builds.
1665 * ./plugins/gtk/{gtk|gnome}.c: the gnome/gtk interface should no longer use
1666 p_input->stream before it has been initialized.
1667 * ./src/input/input.c: stream lock is initialized in input_CreateThread
1668 instead of initThread, to have it initialized when we call it in the
1670 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: added support for S8 and U16 aout.
1671 * ./debian/control: fixed Debian build-depends.
1672 * ./include/config.h: changed RELEASE to HAVE_RELEASE because RELEASE
1673 is already defined in <scsi/scsi.h> under Linux.
1674 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: fixed issues in the PTS handling of the mad
1675 plug-in (incomplete).
1676 * ./src/input/input_ext-dec.c: more precise way to retrieve a PTS from the
1678 * ./INSTALL.libmad: configure, build and install instructions for libmad
1679 library and mad plugin.
1680 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: smooth sound (not tested on iPaq).
1681 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.c: le coup de grâce: all the code in audio
1682 output is now factorized (except for ac3 spdif) in aout_common.c/.h.
1683 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.h: aout thread functions are declared with
1685 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: HUGE cleanings in audio output: removed
1686 AOUT_INTF_*_FIFO, which where not used.
1687 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.c: factored S16StereoPlay, U8MonoPlay, and
1688 so on.., in a single function aout_FillBuffer (unsigned 8bit may be broken,
1689 but I have no stream to test with :(
1690 * ./configure.in: a few fixes for the Win32 build.
1691 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed all the problems related to
1693 * ./src/misc/modules.c: fixed a compile issue under platforms without
1694 HAVE_DYNAMIC_PLUGINS.
1695 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: MacOS X port.
1696 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: 24/32 bpp software YUV.
1697 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: activated double buffering.
1698 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: we create more Xv pictures to
1699 get smoother rendering.
1700 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: removed aout_CreateFifo from mad_adec.c
1701 InitThread() and added it to mad_libmad.c.
1702 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: BSD compilation fix suggested by Steven M.
1704 * ./src/audio_output/aout_s16.c: beginning of code factorization in
1705 aout_s16 (more cleaning will come). As for libmad, I have tried to create
1706 the aout fifo in libmad_output, to open it with the right sample rate, but
1707 strangely it didn't work.
1708 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed a few segfaults caused by the dummy plugin.
1709 * ./plugins/mpeg_adec/mpeg_adec.c: fixed a segfault due to misuse of
1711 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: replaced XFlush with XSync. This must be the
1712 fourth time someone has to commit this, so I added a reminder :-)
1713 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/input_ts.c: hopefully fixed a bug in TS input, that
1714 caused a segfault when there was no network stream.
1715 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: BSD/OS port by Steven M. Schultz.
1716 * ./include/modules_inner.h: replaced _X with __VLC_SYMBOL because _X was
1717 already a system macro under MacOS X.
1718 * ./plugins/dummy/dummy.c: fixed vlc:loop, vlc:quit, etc. entries.
1719 * ./plugins/glide/glide.c: activated double buffering.
1720 * ./plugins/mga/xmga.c: started writing an xmga plugin; doesn't work yet.
1721 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed the input memory leak, and the insane thread
1722 spawning we got with vlc:loop.
1723 * ./src/misc/intf_eject.c: disc ejection routine courtesy of Julien Blache,
1724 currently Linux-only.
1725 * ./src/audio_output/aout_ext-dec.c: better communication between audio
1726 decoder and output: aout plugins are now opened directly in the right
1727 mode (works with mpeg_adec and ac3_adec, not tested with mad).
1728 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: first attempt to implement mono output
1730 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: DVDRead plugins works again more or
1731 less ; major bugs remain but it is usable. It is selected by default if
1732 you have it compiled.
1733 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_headers.c: fixed a bug in QuantMatrixExtension,
1734 many thanks to "Thomas L. Wood" <twood@lucent.com> !
1735 * ./debian/control: updated list of supported architectures.
1736 * ./share/*: added 16x16 and 32x32 versions of PNG icons.
1737 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: removed the mgammx module and put the code in
1738 the chroma_i420_ymga module instead. This introduces a slight
1739 performance issue as we now need to memcpy() the Y plane, but I have
1740 some vout4 enhancements on their way which make this point moot.
1741 * ./debian/changelog: imported official Debian changelog.
1742 * ./debian/control: activated the vlc-mad and vlc-arts packages; package
1743 builds should now work again.
1744 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: solved a symbol resolution issue when vlc was
1745 compiled without libdvdcss which overflowed the return stack.
1746 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: ported the GGI plugin to vout4.
1747 * ./plugins/glide/glide.c: ported the Glide plugin to vout4 (untested).
1748 * ./src/input/input.c: prepared everything for multi-input mode; since
1749 no interface is yet prepared to handle this, I changed them so that
1750 they just use the first available input for now. This may break other
1751 things, but I promise I'll eventually repair everything :-)
1752 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: pipeline and cache optimizations.
1753 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: MMX-accelerated version of the MGA plugin.
1754 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/Makefile: little workaround for PA-Risc compilation.
1755 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: optimized libmad_output() for smoother sound.
1756 It is still not optimal.
1757 * ./plugins/fb/fb.c: ported the framebuffer video output to vout4.
1758 * ./src/audio_output/aout_s16.c: fixed a segfault. It may have unexpected
1759 side effects because I don't know this part of the code, but at least
1760 it doesn't crash anymore.
1761 * ./plugins/beos/beos.cpp: first attempt at porting the BeOS plugin to the
1762 new video output and module systems. Doesn't work nor even compile yet.
1763 * ./configure.in: we now check the gtk-config version.
1764 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: we use the MGA_VID_FSEL ioctl to select the
1765 frame to be displayed. Unfortunately, increasing the number of
1766 frames doesn't seem to work and makes the picture stutter...
1767 * ./Makefile: fixed a bug when no builtins were selected.
1768 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: ported the MGA video output to vout4. Only does YV12
1769 for the moment, and there is a strange bug with some streams which gives
1770 only a green image. Needs to be looked at.
1771 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed a few typos.
1772 * ./plugins/mad/DESIGN: updated documentation.
1773 * ./plugins/mad/TODO: updated TODO list.
1774 * ./plugins/mad/BUGS: updated documentation.
1775 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.h: removed unused prototype from headerfile.
1776 * ./configure.in: fix for obscure architectures like hppa where target_os
1777 isn't properly detected.
1778 * ./include/video_output.h: got rid of pf_setpalette; I'll find a nicer way.
1779 * ./plugins/mga.c: fixed MGA module compilation. Doesn't work yet, though.
1780 * ./include/common.h: hton64 is now an inline function.
1781 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c et al.: vout4 now automatically
1782 detects when two chroma formats are the same, such as UYVY/Y422, or
1783 roughly equivalent, such as I420/YV12. Plugins need not worry about
1785 * ./BUGS: added a list of known bugs. Please add your findings!
1786 * ./MODULES: added a short description of each module. Maybe we should
1787 add more details to make this file really useful.
1788 * ./doc/bugreport-howto.txt: wishful thinking...
1789 * ./Makefile: added a workaround for the fact that .c files don't depend
1790 on <videolan/vlc.h>.
1791 * ./plugins/memcpy/memcpy.c: all memcpy modules are now built from the same
1793 * ./src/interface/main.c: added the --nommx, --no3dnow, --nommxext, --nosse
1794 and --noaltivec options to vlc.
1795 * ./configure.in: removed the --disable-mmx option, now useless because
1796 of the vlc --no* options.
1797 * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a crash caused by the memcpy module
1798 being released too early.
1799 * ./include/video.h: more vout4 changes, including margin support, more
1800 FOURCC formats recognized, transparent support of identical or almost
1801 identical FOURCC formats.
1802 * ./include/video_output.h: added a vout_Render function to video output
1803 modules which is to be executed before vout_Display.
1804 * ./include/common.h: this header is back.
1805 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed RGB conversion
1806 functions, mostly taken from vout3's yuv functions, but heavily modified
1807 to use FAST_MEMCPY and to handle image dimensions which are not multiples
1808 of 16. Not all functions have been written yet, though.
1809 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed YUV conversion
1810 functions, various targets such as 4:2:2 YUYV, YVYU, UYVY, or 2:1:1 YUYV,
1811 with accelerated MMX versions.
1812 * ./plugins/chroma/i422_yuy2.c: same as i420_yuy2.c but takes planar YUV
1813 4:2:2 pictures in input. With accelerated MMX versions as well. This plugin
1814 makes it possible to display 4:2:2 files on most video cards without the
1815 quality loss of 4:2:0 downsampling.
1816 * ./plugins/filter/*: thanks to the vout_Render function, all filters now
1817 output their data perfectly in sync.
1818 * ./plugins/dvdread/Makefile: fix to prevent unnecessary target rebuilds.
1819 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: support for YV12, UYVY, YUY2 and YVYU overlays.
1820 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for I420, YV12, YUY2 and Y211 overlays.
1821 * ./ChangeLog: imported the 0.2.92 changes, unrolled current CVS changes.
1822 * ./include/config.h et al.: this file is no longer generated.
1823 * ./include/video.h: we use the FOURCC definition of a chroma format to
1824 describe picture types (see http://www.webartz.com/fourcc/).
1825 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: compilation fix by Eyal Lebedinsky.
1826 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the XShm operations order.
1827 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: small optimizations.
1828 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: removed unused code.
1829 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: your old window position and size are now restored
1830 when you come out of fullscreen mode.
1831 * ./plugins/esd/esd.c: fixed detection of the esd plugin.
1832 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/input_ts.c: fixed the ts plugin's input type
1834 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the BadCursor error in the x11 and xvideo
1835 plugins. For real this time (unlike my 2001/08/03 fix :p).
1836 * ./plugins/filter/wall.c: made the wall filter work a bit better. It now
1837 spawns a 3x2 mosaic, but this will eventually be configurable, à la
1838 `--filter wall:3x3'.
1839 * ./plugins/arts/arts.c: fixed the aRts audio output plugin.
1840 * ./configure.in: removed duplicate function checks.
1841 * ./Makefile.modules: added extra magic so that the module Makefiles are now
1842 ridiculously simple. And I mean *simple*. Check it! This will make a
1843 possible switch to full autoconf/automake a lot easier.
1844 * ./include/modules_inner.h: added the vlc version name to the plugin
1845 symbols, to be sure we only load plugins with the same version number. A
1846 nasty consequence is that you need to rebuild your tree after midnight if
1847 you are using a CVS tree :-)
1848 * ./include/modules_export.h: got rid of modules_export.h by #defining
1849 exported functions in the same header as their prototype.
1850 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: added modules_inner.h and other commonly used .h
1851 files to common.h so there are less and less files to include, and renamed
1852 common.h to <videolan/vlc.h>.
1853 * ./src/misc/tests.c: first modifications to the module handling system
1854 towards my ultimate goal to get rid of the *_Probe functions. Got rid of
1855 TestMethod and TestCPU, as well as src/misc/tests.c.
1856 * ./plugins/chroma/yv12_rgb8.c, ./plugins/chroma/yv12_rgb16.c: wrote the
1857 chroma plugin handling functions. No YUV functions have been ported yet
1858 because it'ls a lot of work, but the core system works, I tried it with a
1859 naive yv12->rgb16 plugin (which will disappear when the real functions are
1861 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c: made a lot of functions one-liners to avoid
1862 wasting too many output lines.
1863 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: fixed a segfault in DVDInit.
1864 * ./plugins/gtk/fixfiles.sh: Added a fixfiles.sh script to be run after Glade
1865 has generated its C files.
1866 * ./plugins/kde/*: did some work on the KDE interface to make it suck a bit
1867 less. It still segfaults, but at least it runs and it looks less ugly.
1868 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: RGB SDL rendering works again, though in 16bpp
1870 * ./plugins/vcd/linux_cdrom_tools.c: made this file independent of any vlc
1871 structure so that it'll be easily put in a library. Maybe libdvdcss?
1872 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed VCD date display.
1873 * ./plugins/x11/*: merged vout_xvideo.c, vout_x11.c and vout_common.c into
1875 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: wrote non-Shm XVideo output.
1876 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: made X11 output work again. Still pretty unstable,
1877 only works for 16bpp.
1878 * ./po/fr.po: additional french translation. Any taker for the rest?
1879 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault when the allocated
1880 pictures were not direct buffers.
1881 * ./share/*: replaced 48x48 .xpm images with 32x32 ones to conform to Debian
1882 policy (Closes Debian bug #126939).
1883 * ./Makefile: removed the automatic ./configure launch when running
1884 `make all' for the first time.
1885 * ./plugins/filter/distort.c: --filter distort:ripple (Ok, ok, I promise it's
1887 * ./configure.in: fixed compilation with dvdcss disabled.
1888 * ./configure.in: fixed compilation with plugins disabled.
1889 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: removed useless
1890 variables in the VCD and DVD plugins.
1891 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed a function which was returning
1892 "struct foo" in the VCD plugin.
1893 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the old « XVideo eats more and more CPU »
1894 bug I mistakenly reintroduced in my first vout4 commit.
1895 * ./src/misc/modules: we now stop at the first ':' when looking for a module
1896 name, to easily pass information to the modules. Possible example:
1897 --vout sdl:software, implementation of such an option is left as an
1899 * ./plugins/filter/filter.c: merged filter_bob and filter_bob422 into
1900 filter_bob. Use --filter bob to deinterlace 422 into 420 as well.
1901 * ALL: factorized code common to most filters and the video output, optimized
1902 a few filters by aligning data and reading 64 bits at a time.
1903 * ./plugins/filter/transform.c, ./plugins/filter/distort.c: two new
1904 absolutely useless, CPU-eating, resource-wasting, but fun filters: enjoy
1905 `transform', which performs flips and 90° rotations, and `distort', which
1906 performs animated image effects (currently only a naive sine wave is
1907 implemented). Usage examples: --filter transform:hflip,
1908 --filter transform:vflip, --filter transform:90, --filter transform:180,
1909 --filter transform:270, --filter distort:wave.
1910 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: added missing XSync() in the XVideo plugin.
1911 * ./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: pathetic attempt at a 4:2:2 renderer and
1912 deinterlacer, combining the most awful line dropping techniques of both BOB
1913 and 422 to 420 downscaling. Don't worry, it should only survive for a
1915 * ./plugins/filter/wall.c: new stupid plugin: "--filter wall" for split-image
1916 playback :-) (will evolve into a real image wall plugin when I have time)
1917 * ./plugins/filter/bob.c, ./plugins/filter/invert.c: filter plugins. Not very
1918 polished (please don't look at how the dates are calculated!), but worth a
1919 try. Use the following flags: "--filter invert" for inverse video,
1920 "--filter bob" for BOB deinterlacing
1921 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: buffer choice optimizations - vout4
1922 should eat even less CPU now.
1923 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed aspect ratio handling.
1924 * ./src/interface/main.c: additional fixes for OSes with no gettext (thanks
1926 * ./configure.in: don't try to use gettext if we don't have GNU gettext. This
1927 may change in the future though (most GNU software seems to include a local
1928 copy of gettext in case the operating system doesn't provide it).
1929 * ./debian/rules, ./debian/control: added vlc-arts to the debian package
1931 * ./po/ru.po: (very old) russian translation courtesy of Valek Filippov
1933 * ./po/fr.po: fixed a charset issue in the french translation.
1934 * ./config.guess, ./config.sub: updated these files from GNU's latest
1936 * ./po/vlc.pot: added vlc.pot skeleton for translators.
1937 * ./src/interface/intf_channels.c, ./include/keystrokes.h: removed unused
1939 * ./include/common.h: put common_win32.h back into common.h -- it wasn't that
1940 big and we should not multiply header files.
1941 * ./src/interface/main.c: added gettext support by Thomas Graf
1942 <reeler@reeler.org>, may be broken on other platforms but we'll only see
1943 it when I'm finished with vout 4 :-)
1944 * ./src/video_output/*: new video output version 4, featuring direct to YUV
1945 buffer decoding, non-ugly subtitle blending, XVideo and SDL video output.
1946 * ./plugins/spudec/*: renamed spu_dec to spudec and mad_adec to mad to stay
1947 coherent with other plugins. Also, renamed mpeg to mpeg_system.
1948 * ./AUTHORS: added jobi.
1949 * ./plugins/x11/vout_common.c: factored code common to vout_x11.c and
1953 Mon, 31 Dec 2001 19:50:40 +0100

1957 * Fixed a bug in DecoderError.
1958 * Next Generation Buffer Manager.

1975 * Prevent two SDL video outputs or audio outputs to be spawned at the
1976 same time to avoid ugly crashes.
1977 * TS input: bugfix in DecodePAT and minor optimizations elsewhere.
1978 * TS input: we now check that the contents of the PAT has changed
1979 before updating it, instead of just relying on its version number.
1980 * Disabled broken ALSA audio output. Closes Debian bugs #110869 and #119846.
1981 * Fixed build dependencies on libasound2-dev. Closes Debian bug #121057.

2011 "--memcpy <whatever>" to choose one from c, mmx, mmxext or 3dn.
2012 * Added versioned build-dep to libasound2-dev (Closes Debian bug #121057).

2020 * Implemented simple BDirectWindow (DMA) support.
2021 * DeleteDecoderConfig wasn't freeing (anymore) the packets left in the

2025 * Added "#include <string.>" to include/threads.h.
2026 * Removed the mutex the vout and intf thread (were supposed to use)
2027 for syncronizing acces to the p_vout->p_sys structure.
2028 * Added error checking in pthread wrapper; as a result, intf_msg.h must
2029 now be included *before* threads.h.
2030 * Changed all files to include intf_msg.h before threads.h; while I was
2031 at it, I update the copyright notices.

2043 * Big clean-up to allow compiling every module as plugins.
2044 * Added bytes_swap.h to provide ntoh() and htol() on Win32. With this
2045 change we don't have to link winsock2 with every plugin anymore. This

2092 * Disabled DirectX audio output for the time being.
2093 * Added Oct's NSIS installer script. It will probably not work for you,
2094 but I need it to build the Win32 auto installer.
2095 * Automatic handling of the Channel Server's response in network mode.
2096 * GetMACAddress takes the interface defined in the environment variable
2097 vlc_iface instead of eth0.

2113 * Corrected à long time bug (around 0.2.81 I think), that created a
2114 corruption in ifo data. This was the reason why some DVDs that worked with
2115 0.2.80 no longer worked with newer version of vlc. They should work again

2177 * MacOS X port : replaced -traditional-cpp (deprecated) with -no-cpp-precomp.
2178 * MacOS X port : native QuickTime video output, courtesy of Florian G.
2179 Pflug <fgp@phlo.org>. Use it with -I macosx_qt.

2209 at runtime with --stats.
2210 * New intf_StatMsg() call.
2211 * Vout picture heap is now 8 pictures instead of 5 (better synchro).
2212 * Tremendous enhancements in statistics display.
2213 * Better capabilities handling.
2214 * Error checks in debug mode : pthread ERRORCHECK_MUTEX and MALLOC_CHECK_=2.

2216 slices", says walken :-).
2217 * In spdif ac3 is selected by default
2218 * Video output grows to respect acpect ratio instead of shrinking (not

2270 * Added documentation to use VLC as a netscape plug-in and do some
2271 (buggy) web streaming.
2272 * Totally rewrote the video decoder (inspired by walken's mpeg2dec),
2273 implying - performance boost ; - fixed the "Dual Prime Arithmetic" bug ;
2274 - 3DNow! motion compensation module.
2275 * AC3dec statistics do not show up with --enable-stats, because I doubt
2276 they're understandable by a normal human being, and they pollute the output.
2277 * Minor changes to the (non-working) ncurses interface.
2278 * Fixed a packet leak in DemuxPSI.
2279 * Added gnome.h check and cleaned the error messages in the configure script.
2280 * Tiny small optim in LPCM decoder.
2283 Wed, 22 Aug 2001 15:18:01 +0200
2285 * Split ChangeLog into ChangeLog and ChangeLog.libdvdcss.

2291 reported in lucky.openbsd.misc.
2292 * GNU/Hurd configuration and compilation fixes.

2295 probably better than having no subtitles at all).
2296 * Added proper Conflicts: rules in debian/control.
2297 * configure.in fixes for BSD/OS.
2298 * Added vlc:loop playlist command to go back at the beginning.
2299 Usage: vlc file1.mpeg file2.mpeg ... fileN.mpeg vlc:loop
2300 * Fixed a bug in the gtk interface which caused vlc to go amok after
2301 having met a zero-sized area.
2302 * 'snapshot*' rules do not depend on 'clean', and don't use /tmp anymore.
2305 Tue, 7 Aug 2001 12:39:16 +0200

2316 * Removed the "make all" kludge in the Makefile.opts rule. I hope this
2317 patch is harmless on all systems.
2318 * Added a dummy libdvdcss so that the DVD plugin can be used without
2319 libdvdcss. It will try to dlopen() libdvdcss at runtime, though,
2320 and will use the dummy functions only if it couldn't find a valid
2321 libdvdcss. This is probably only useful to package maintainers.
2322 * Made the remote command plugin usable even with no stream.
2323 * Fixed a deadlock in the remote command plugin.
2324 * Fixed a deadlock in the SPU decoder.
2325 * Minor bug fix to aout_directx.c.

2452 spawn new threads for me, maybe someone will have better luck.
2453 * Makefile optimizations.
2454 * Automatic build of libdvdcss if not found.
2455 * The DVD netlist no longer stops when the fifo is empty ; it just waits

2472 * Fixed a bug in synchro reinitialization: we no longer have a shift each
2473 time we restart the synchro (for SCR discontinuity for instance)
2474 * In DVD mode, we reinit the synchro only if the SCR are not continuous
2475 (instead of each cell).

2764 * Changes in gnome interface : navigation menus are now splited, there
2765 are radio item in menus and the code should be better.
2766 * First step for dvd_ifo rewritting. Now allocation/disallocation is
2767 being done as it has to be.
2768 * Fixed a bug in title management that make dvd like Seven work.
2769 * vout_beos now uses double buffering for YCbCr overlay.
2770 This (for some reason) improves audio/video sync
2771 * Fixes for the Qt plugin compilation under Debian
2772 * Heavy butchering in the CSS and DVD ioctl code to put all architecture-
2773 dependent code in dvd_ioctl.c
2774 * Added almost fully-functional /dev/dvd driver for MacOS X in
2776 * Fall back to one-packet-once reading in dvd input since multi-block
2777 seems to have a bug that make the vlc crash on title/audio/spu change. I
2778 hope that this bug will be fixed soon for the performance is poorer now
2779 * Add-ons and changes in gnome interface:
2780 o menu subdivision is done only if there are over 20 items,
2781 o in DVD mode next/prev apply to title,
2782 o in DVD mode, added a box with button to navigate through chapters.
2783 * Additional enhancements to the OS X DVD ioctl module
2784 * Big cleaning of the BeOS DVD ioctl code, got rid of all Linuxisms
2785 * Compilation fixes for the BeOS DVD ioctls
2786 * XVideo plugin enhancements by Shane Harper <shanegh@optusnet.com.au>
2787 * Added the GNU getopt library, which gets compiled in when getopt_long
2788 isn't available on the desired platform.
2789 * Replaced the `--warning' flag with the standard cumulative `-v' flag.
2790 `-v' is like `--warning 3', and `-vvvv' is like `--warning 0'
2791 (`--warning' is still valid for those used to it)
2792 * Cleaning in configure.in and Makefile.in, the Solaris port now
2793 builds and runs properly.
2794 * Code cleanup: removed a few tabulations.
2795 * Fixed inline asm routines to remove all read/write operands.
2796 * Added <string.h> to most files to prevent warnings under FreeBSD.
2797 * Added "break;" after "default:" in case switches to prevent
2798 warnings when compiling with GCC 3.0pre.
2799 * Sync MOSX dev/CVS tree : code support for MacOS X audio, video and
2800 interface (courtesy of Eugenio Jarosiewicz & Colin Delacroix) ;
2801 * Cleaning code and a small fix to make quit work on OSX
2802 * Disable x11 plugin if X11 headers are not found.
2803 * Misc fixes in the DVD input.
2804 * Fixed CSS authentication under Linux.
2805 * Playlist now refreshes when a file is opened.
2806 * XVideo plugin background is now black instead of white.
2809 Mon, 5 Mar 2001 00:41:16 +0100
2811 * Got rid of the CONTRIBUTORS list, and switched AUTHORS to a
2812 linux-kernel like author list.
2813 * Updated TODO list.
2814 * Fixed a segfault in the BeOS interface when --noaudio was specified.
2815 * Title and Chapter selection in the Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces.
2816 * Fixed a bug in audio selection
2817 * Tried to fix an issue in size computing.
2818 * Commited BeOS changes by Richard Shepherd and Tony Castley.
2819 * Added boolean_t b_YCbr to vout_thread_s structure to flag YUV-YCbCr
2820 decoding needed instead of YUV-RGB
2821 * Will be removed later when video_output.c rewritten
2822 * vout_CreateThread() initialises b_YCbr to zero
2823 * New BeOS video plugin that supports hardware overlays and new
2824 MediaPlayer compatible interface
2825 * Added YUV-YCbCr transforms
2826 * Fixed bugs in title/chapter handling once more, especially for size
2827 detection and location of main movie.
2828 * Support for multitrack DVD : now the stream is given to input as it has
2829 to be ; however, all the tracks are displayed one after the other ; I
2830 think we need to decode navigation ES to choose the track
2831 * Fixed behaviour at end of device.
2832 * Added DVD/VCD button and menu for quick DVD device selection to the
2833 Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces, so that vlc can play a DVD even when
2834 launched from a GUI.
2835 * Added debian/* files to help generating CSS-enabled non-US packages,
2836 and changed plugins/dvd/* to reflect this change.
2837 * Added .xpm icons (fixes lintian warnings).
2838 * --help output and manpage are now in sync (Closes Debian bug #87478).
2839 * Fixed Build-dpends entry in debian/control (Closes Debian bug #83707).
2840 * Completely changed title and chapter initialization. Now we have real
2842 * Fixed size for a majority of DVD.
2843 * More consistency in the p_input->stream management.
2844 * Made input_SelectES() and input_UnselectES() not block the input thread
2846 * Changed debian/control to fix Debian bug #83707
2847 * Added a --disable-css configure option
2848 * Moved some code here and there in the DVD plugin to make it easier
2849 for me to build the Debian CSS-free packages.
2850 * Fixed miscellaneous alignment problems (alpha/sparc ports) ;
2851 * Added a fps display when toggling 'i' ;
2852 * Fixed a bug in the video parser where one picture buffer was not
2853 released at quit time ;
2854 * Broke the mux_rate calculation, but hey guys ! it was already broken and
2856 * New function for DVD reading, that is able to read multiple blocks
2857 (I've chosen 32 now), that doesn't use any memcpy anymore and is also much
2858 faster. It is ready now for cell positioning in multi-angle DVD (to come
2860 * DVD specific netlist adapted to 2048 bytes long blocks that contain
2861 several data_packets.
2862 * Modification in mpeg_system.c to use p_payload_start instead of
2863 p_buffer (necessary for DVD plugin). It does not break other plugins
2864 since they set p_payload_start to p_buffer
2865 * New field i_read_once in input_thread_s to be able to read more than
2866 the TS related 7 packets ; i_read_once is set to INPUT_READ_ONCE by
2867 defaults but plugins can change it during initialisation.
2868 * Bug fix with frequential downmix
2869 * Additional optimizations to the subtitle decoder
2870 * The GGI video output should now be faster. Also, right-mouse-clicking
2871 works in GGI mode as well.
2872 * Optimizations done to the SPU decoder. Now the RLE is expanded at
2873 decoding time, not rendering time. The main loop in vout_RenderSPU
2874 is now 20 lines long.
2875 * The Gtk+ interface is now built as a Debian package as well. The Gnome
2876 package depends on it because of the icon and menu entry.
2877 * Added an intf_WarnHexDump() function to do raw hexadecimal dumps of
2878 memory areas. For debugging purposes or for real men, as you wish.
2879 * Lots of tidying in dvd_ioctl.c, a few comments added.
2880 * Better error handling in the subpicture decoder.
2881 * Tidied video_spu.c. More to come later.
2882 * Fixed subtitle displaying. Will soon work in overlay mode as well.
2883 * Disabled slice-level resynchro since it's probably buggy.
2884 * Fixed a structural major bug in the macroblock structure management.
2885 * Added debug messages.
2886 * Fixed a compile problem in debug mode.
2887 * Added functions and hooks to display dates instead of off_t.
2888 * Added a 'd' keystroke to dump the stream contents (for debugging
2890 * New ES detection based on .ifo for DVD module. It might fail (I have
2891 found one DVD for which ifo seems false).
2892 * Title and chapter selection on the command line (see -t and -T options)
2893 It will allow to watch some DVD that went through menus by default.
2894 * Beginning of menus in gnome interface.
2895 * Fix bug in ac3dec for mono streams
2896 * BeOS: new video output method, the vlc now uses BBitmap instead of
2897 BDirectWindow (better performances)
2898 * BeOS: added resizing
2899 * BeOS: added beta support for overlay
2900 * Added a plain Gtk+ port of the Gnome interface, for the gnome-impaired
2901 people. Gtk+ is now compiled by default, while Gnome isn't (you will
2902 have to add --enable-gnome when running configure)
2903 * Replaced -lcurses with -lncurses in configure.in.
2904 * Added DemuxPSI, DecodePAT and DecodePMT. Never tested which streams
2905 where PAT or PMT are splitted in more than one section.
2908 Fri, 2 Mar 2001 17:32:24 +0100
2910 * DVD plugin is still non-functional when you don't have DVD ioctls,
2911 but at least it compiles under BeOS as well.
2912 * Minor cosmetic changes here and there.
2913 * Added the BeOS code for vlc_mutex_destroy() and vlc_cond_destroy()
2914 * Minor optimizations in the video decoder.
2915 * Move ac3 globals variables into structures
2916 * Fixed a bash-ism in configure.in
2917 * Fixed a segfault in input.c when no input plugin was found for
2919 * Fixed a deadlock in the Gnome interface. Next time I'll initialize
2920 my mutexes, I promise.
2921 * Added Oct to the authors list in intf_gnome.glade :)
2922 * Second step in area management ; everything is in place now to have
2923 title handling; it is coming :)
2924 * Ported Glide and MGA plugins to the new module API. MGA never worked,
2925 so this didn't make it work better.
2926 * Started thinking about built-in modules, and added some code to
2927 make it easier eventually.
2928 * Added Oct in the AUTHORS file.
2929 * Fixed a mistake in configure.in.
2930 * All your base are belong to us.
2931 * Fixed a bug in src/misc/modules which prevented loading modules
2932 when launched from the Tracker.
2933 * Fixed a similar bug in src/video_output/video_text.c.
2934 * BeOS CSS support, thanks to Markus Kuespert <ltlBeBoy@beosmail.com>
2935 who ported the Linux DVD ioctls. We can now read encrypted DVDs
2936 under BeOS ! Woohoo.
2937 * First serie of changes in DVD module for the forthcoming interface menus.
2938 There is a new capability in input type modules for setting the
2939 attributes of a new area. It is set to NULL for PS and TS plugins.
2940 It should be called for every title change, chapter change,
2941 audio mode change or spu channel change.
2942 * Kludge of the kludge, removing an oddity in YUV initialisation, and
2943 activating YUV overlay on startup whenever hardware acceleration is
2944 available. Thanks for bearing with us, stay tuned.
2946 * Changed video decoder's error messages into warnings.
2948 * Drag and drop support under BeOS.
2949 * Change in the code to detect beginning of movie. It is much better now
2950 but still fails with some DVD for which the movie is not the first
2952 * Beginning of ideas to handle chapters and ES selection
2953 * configure.in and Makefile.in patches for better SDL support and
2954 support for $(bindir) $(datadir) and $(libdir) stuff, courtesy
2955 of Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <misiek@pld.ORG.PL>
2956 * Ported ggi.so to the new modules API. As for the other modules, only
2957 the "q" key works. Moreover, VLC doesn't exit cleanly if you close the
2959 * Deactivated non-working widgets in the Gnome interface.
2960 * Added CONTRIBUTORS file.
2961 * Ported the framebuffer plugin to the new module API. As for most of the
2962 other video output modules, keyboard doesn't work. Except ^C to quit.
2963 * UDF filesystem support so that we know the location of the first video
2964 related file with 100% reliability (great change that should make DVDs
2965 with binaries and extra stuff work with vlc).
2966 * Correction of a bug in ifo reading that falsified the adress of
2968 * Changed the method for selecting title at start. It is _not_ reliable
2969 though, but it is better than the preceding one.
2970 * Tried to fix the BeOS interface and video output. Any BeOS developers
2971 listening ? I can't even test that code, it probably wants additional
2973 * Added a workaround in modules.c for broken libc's which happen to truncate
2974 filenames in dentry structures when using 64bits offsets. The kind of
2975 stuff you only see in RedHats <g>.
2976 * Made the SDL error messages a bit more useful.
2977 * The Gnome menu is now created when mouse is released, not when it
2978 is pressed. It may sound stupid, but it really makes a difference.
2981 Fri, 16 Feb 2001 08:09:59 +0100
2983 * Fixed package building (both RPMs and .debs).
2984 * Fixed `make snapshot' rule.
2985 * Added some magic to filename detection. To read a DVD you now just
2986 need to run 'vlc dvd:/dev/hdc' for instance. Same for file:// URIs.
2987 * Fixed a segfault in the slider when no stream was playing.
2988 * Made the slider go from 0 to 100 (instead of 99 :)
2989 * The vlc now doesn't exit when finished playing. As a side effect of
2990 the playlist code being very recent, it continuously loops.
2991 * Fixed a segfault in the input thread creation, as well as a possible
2992 deadlock. This happened mostly when opening non-existing files.
2993 * Created input_SetStatus to do input_SetRate's job. input_SetRate will
2994 be used to set an arbitrary rate, for people who want to read DVDs at
2995 1/2.71828 times the actual speed.
2996 * Stubs for the ncurses control interface. No working code yet, but the
2997 holes just need to be filled.
2998 * Improved X11 support. Still not as functional as before.
2999 * The output window now states the method name, so that people know whether
3000 they are using X11 or SDL.
3001 * The Gnome interface is now drag'n'drop aware, you can drop a file
3002 on it just like Xine does (or so I guess).
3003 * New more recent css authentication code.
3004 * Beginning of udf support (not in Makefile)
3005 * Removed useless includes in intf_gnome.c
3006 * Made the vout_sdl.c functions static
3007 * Ported vout_x11.c to the modules API; code isn't very nice yet though
3008 * X11 output works again. It's just the output, but it works; I now need
3009 to clean the code and add event handling.
3010 * Should have fixed the dependency generater for some plugins.
3013 Wed, 14 Feb 2001 08:33:46 +0100
3015 * Started porting the X11 vout (still disabled)
3016 * A few unnoticeable changes in the Gnome intf
3017 * Changes in the way stream size in DVD mode is calculated. It is no
3018 longer such an ugly kludge and is much more accurate.
3019 * Changes in DVDSeek so that the interface slider is in 0 when we are at
3020 the beginning of the strem.
3021 * Try to detect the beginning of the movie in the middle of the title. It
3022 works for most of the DVDs but will begin in the middle of the movie
3024 * Calculate only the first title key in css mode because it might take a
3025 long time with some title. The search stops now when we have a key once
3026 whereas it did stop only when we had it twice before. It should not
3028 * Really fixed MC segfault bug.
3029 * Adaptation of DVD module to navigation slider. The seek has to be
3030 done on a multiple of 2048, and shopuld take care of the offset to the
3031 beginning of the stream. It works with most of my DVDs by fails to
3032 detect size of some streams.
3033 * Change of the order of call to ifo and css functions in input_dvd.c,
3034 because we can't read ifo files before authentification on some DVDs.
3035 * Changed location of some css tables.
3036 * We read ifo date and decrypt css keys for all titles now. It takes quite a
3037 long time to initialize with some DVDs (if you have 42 titles for
3038 instance). The key decryption might give a false value if the title is
3039 less than 10 Mb ; I'm working on that :)
3040 * Quick patch to avoid a segfault when arbitrarily seeking the stream.
3041 * Added --intf option to vlc
3042 * Started cleaning vout_sdl.c
3043 * The dummy plugin works again
3044 * Added a slider to the Gnome interface so that we can browse through streams
3045 * Removed enhancement because of an incompatibility with slow motion.
3046 * We can now seek at position 0 :p ;
3047 * Tried to enhance picture dating on timebase discontinuities.
3049 * Much cleaning in css code. It should work fine now.
3050 * Fixed my old stupid bug that disabled sound after having played the
3051 first playlist item.
3052 * Added `Prev' and `Next' buttons to the interface, with the beginning of
3053 a playlist window (still empty).
3054 * Added `Slow' and `Fast' buttons to the interface and popup menu.
3055 * Removed tests against i_rate and i_new_rate calculation from the
3056 plugins and hid this complexity into input_ext-intf.c
3057 * The pure Gnome part of the Gnome interface has been rewritten from
3058 scratch, and the .glade file included as well. You can edit it by
3059 installing glade-gnome and doing `glade plugins/gnome/intf_gnome.glade',
3060 or directly by hand if you grok XML.
3061 * Files can now be loaded into vlc using the `Open' buttons. But for the
3062 moment you still have to launch vlc with at least one file, because it
3063 quits when the end of the playlist is reached.
3064 * Idle screen was disabled because it eats a lot of CPU and is mostly
3065 useless for the moment. And it gets activated when pause lasts for too
3067 * Plugins have completely disappeared, we now only use the new module API.
3068 * All intf and vout modules are now independant. So far, only the Gnome
3069 intf module and the SDL vout module have been ported. configure.in has
3070 been modified to reflect the changes (x11 and dummy aren't compiled by
3071 default anymore, while SDL and Gnome are).
3072 * Right-clicking on the SDL video output window brings the Gnome menu.
3073 * Pause, Play, Exit, About work from the menu or from the interface window.
3074 * The old SDL keys still work.
3075 * Fixed a bug in #define that prevented from using ioctls
3076 * Some functions to prepare ifo commands utilisation to move in the
3078 * Change in configure to avoid compiling css functions on BSD.
3079 * Added comments to src/interface/intf_plst.c and include/intf_plst.h
3080 so that people understand how the playlist works.
3081 * Updated the TODO list (34 items to do, 41 done !)
3082 * Portability : changed off64_t to off_t and activated appropriate
3084 * Changed fseek() to fseeko() for 64-bit offsets ;
3085 * Reset frame predictors on a stream discontinuity.
3086 * Implemented basic stream navigation function, and bound Jump forward
3087 and jump Backward in the SDL intf. Enjoy !
3088 * Pause function implemented ('p' key).
3089 * Fixed a compile probleme on machine without a dvd player :ppppp
3090 * Fixed two bugs in ifo and css that caused memory corruption and
3091 segfault when using sdl in dvd mode.
3092 * Moved the playlist handling from input/input.c to interface/interface.c
3093 * Fixed a few warnings at compile-time.
3094 * Fixed sound channel selection in playlist mode.
3095 * Added a color message in the plugin bank because on peut bien déconner
3096 cinq minutes, quand-même.
3097 * We now spawn a new input thread for each file.
3098 * Added a missing pf_close() because it's always cool to close files
3100 * Solved bug with cssdescrambling. The vlc might segfault with dvd
3101 plugins. I will fix that soon.
3102 * Minor modification in pluginification.
3103 * Playlist works again (still the old wrong way like Meuuh doesn't
3104 like, but this is going to change within a few hours)
3105 * Input_ps, input_ts and input_dvd are now plugins, located in
3106 plugins/mpeg/ and plugins/dvd/
3107 * Fast/slow keys are now A/Z instead of A/S since S was already
3108 linked to the scale/noscale toggle.
3109 * `--dvd' doesn't work anymore, for the moment try to use :
3110 vlc --input dvd /dev/dvd
3111 * Module bank is now less verbose ; use `--warn 1' to turn back
3113 * New method using netlist to read packets on DVD device by sectors of
3115 * Some modifications in netlist to make it work with DVD.
3116 * Fixed à bug in mpeg_system.c
3117 * We can now choose the speed of forward (between 32/1 and 1/8)
3118 * Functional fast forward and slow motion API ;
3119 * Dirty hack in the SDL intf to bind "a" (fAst forward), "s" (Slow motion)
3121 * Centralized clock management, preparing for stream navigation ;
3122 * Fixed a bug in the management of the first video PTS.
3123 * Fixed a bug in period calculation for progressive sequences.
3124 * Fixed a FIXME in SDL: p_vout->p_sys is no more used in intf_sdl.c
3125 * Used instead p_vout->i_changes like in x11
3126 * Disabled SDL parachute to let the vlc dump a core instead of staying stuck
3127 * Patched 2 debian bugs
3128 (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=vlc)
3129 * Improved the snapshot generation
3130 * Mouse pointer hidden/shown with middle button in SDL output
3131 * Removed obsolete video_yuv_mmx.S
3132 * Updated the TODO list and wrote a small todo.pl parser to make it
3133 easier to see which items remain to be done
3134 * `make snapshot' now creates vlc-*.tar.gz and vlc-*-nocss.tar.gz
3137 Wed, 31 Jan 2001 04:30:37 +0100
3139 * Version 0.2.50 for the Linux Expo
3140 * --overlay and --fulscreen options (only work with --vout sdl)
3141 * The vlc exits after the end of the stream, which prevents from having
3142 to kill it and relaunch it during a presentation.
3143 * Not a very nice hack, but will probably spare us a few user complaints: if
3144 no -a option is specified, the vlc will play the first audio type it finds,
3145 so there is no need to specify "-a ac3" for a DVD anymore.
3146 * CSS support kludged for current DVD input.
3147 It is very slow now but will be more adapted to the forthcoming DVD
3149 It should read the first title of many DVDs but has been tested with few.
3150 * Beginning of ifo commands to implement DVD navigation.
3151 * Fix for field pictures.
3152 * Hooks for fast forward and slow motion support.
3153 * Fixed backwards moves.
3154 * Tuned up optimizations.
3155 * Completely removed BIZARRE_OPTIMS.
3156 * Check for the needed headers for DVD ioctls
3157 * Some cleaning in the dvd authentification code
3158 * Various miscellaneous minor optimizations of the video parser.
3159 * Beginning of support for encrypted DVDs.
3160 * It only tests encryption and authenticates disc.
3161 * Really fixed GetChunk now.
3162 * 32-bit aligned bitstream (not that fast).
3163 * The motion compensation routines are now modules as well ; choose your
3164 implementation with `--motion motion', `--motion motionmmx' or
3165 `--motion motionmmxext'. Of course, the best implementation is chosen
3166 if you don't ask for any. There doesn't seem to be any performance hit
3167 due to the move to shared libs, which is a good thing. Please test
3168 actively if you have time, though.
3169 * Updated --help result, manpage, INSTALL document, and a few files.
3170 * Borrowed LiViD's MMX and MMX EXT IDCT. This might break things. Expect
3171 a performance increase.
3172 * Removed a few useless malloc() and unused variables in the audio SDL stuff
3173 * Prepared the work for built-in modules (not yet finished)
3174 * Small tweak in the copy handling, reduce CPU usage.
3175 * --aout sdl now works
3176 * Added SDL sound support. Sounds a bit laggy sometimes but my streams
3177 are ill. please try.
3178 * Modified configure.in and all that stuff. Re-run configure
3179 * SDL audio, video and interface are all part of the same .so now.
3180 * Removed YUV old files :->
3181 * Reverted something that wasn't supposed to go into the cvs :p
3182 * Removed -fargument-noalias-global which causes problems with as (???).
3183 * Borrowed livid's latest libmmx and MMXEXT MC. Not in the Makefile => to
3184 test it, replace vdec_motion_inner_mmx.c by vdec_motion_inner_mmxext.c.
3185 * A few changes in the CPU extensions detection code, borrowed from the
3186 kernel and from mpeg2dec. I still don't know how to detect if code
3187 compiled with -mcpu=pentiumpro will run, since the cpuid arcanes are
3188 quite obtuse to me. Perhaps we should also have a way not to load modules
3189 if they have been compiled with a different CPU to avoid segfaults.
3190 * Add check for MMX EXT extensions, which doesn't work, which is a good
3191 thing since there is no MMX EXT IDCT yet :)
3192 * Change for the forthcoming fast forward and slow motion support.
3193 * Fixed the --aout, --idct and --yuv flags
3194 * Updated manpage and --(long)help output to reflect that change
3195 * Removed a few unneeded #includes here and there
3196 * Cosmetic changes in error messages in input.c
3197 * Now use of 64 bits offsets to parse the whole DVD. So we have all the
3198 available information
3199 * Fixed a bug in parsing of VTS attributes
3200 * Fixed a bug in input.c that made input plugin initialize even though
3201 no stream is reachable (thanks Sam)
3202 * Merged the YUV plugins in the same directory to avoid too much code
3204 * YUV transformations now use the new module API ; now only the vout
3205 and interface still depend on the old plugin API
3206 * Changed TestMMX to TestCPU because we will be able to test for other
3207 specific extensions (3DNow, SSE) for the forthcoming IDCT we'll
3208 borrow to mpeg2dec (as usual :P)
3209 * Don't show "hiding module" messages anymore except in debug mode
3210 * Swapped C IDCT and Classic IDCT scores since the classic one seems
3211 to be faster ; anyway you should use the MMX one
3212 * Fixed a Makefile bug under BeOS
3213 * Tried to fix the cpuid code so that it compiles under BeOS (Polux, can
3214 you test it when you have time ?)
3215 * Fixed a bug in the frame rate handling ;
3216 * Fixed a bug in the DTS/PTS ordering. Our pts are _at last_ accurate.
3217 * Finally fixed repeat_first_field and co. (pas encore tout compris...)
3218 * Implemented video_parser bitstream callback for PTS/DTS.
3219 * Fixed close button support in SDL
3220 * Fixed --width and --height support in SDL
3221 * Fixed the bug-that-made-the-vlc-segfault-on-exit, which means that
3222 more than ever, « le client ne segfaulte pas ».
3223 * There was still a problem upon quitting: sometimes the null packet
3224 wasn't big enough to reach a decoder breakpoint, so I now create 10
3225 of them (since I can't make it bigger) to be sure. Meuuh, what do
3227 * Fixed the Makefile to spare a few variables here and there.
3228 * Reduced module hide delay, removed loading of the audio output
3229 plugins since they are now modules.
3230 * Changed a few intf_Msg to intf_DbgMsg, and added "vout:", "intf:",
3231 and so on in a few other messages.
3232 * Removed unused includes in the idct modules.
3233 * Correction of bugs in ifo parsing. Now the structures should be well
3234 initialized. It remains some segfaults but it globally works.
3235 * DVD mode is enabled with option --dvd. For the moment, it only read
3236 the first vts and find the movie if it is at the beginning of the title
3238 * Beginning of dvd_input. Parsing of ifo file almost completed.
3239 * The IDCT functions are now located in modules : the classic IDCT,
3240 our optimized IDCT, and MMX IDCT.
3241 * Cosmetic changes for modules (pf_* instead of p_*)
3242 * Fixes to the BeOS and dummy modules
3243 * Changed default values :
3244 INPUT_PTS_DELAY down to 200 ms ;
3245 video heap down from 10 to 5 pictures ;
3246 decoder fifo size from 1023 to 511 PES ;
3247 * Fixed various bugs in 32 bit-versions of input_ext-dec.h ;
3248 * Fixed a bug in GetChunk() ;
3249 * Renamed GetByte, GetWord, ShowWord to _GetByte, _GetWord, _ShowWord ;
3250 * Moved decoder_fifo-specific code from programs.c to dec.c ;
3251 * Fixed bugs in program.c that prevented vlc to close all decoders ;
3252 * Gave sam a lesson for the use of the bitstream in spu_decoder.c :ppp ;
3253 * Made the video parser unlock the reference pictures before quitting
3254 (still one left, yaknow why ?)
3255 * Destroy fifo mutex and cond variables _after_ they are used for
3256 the last time. henri, that'll be one binouze.
3257 * Attempt to port the BeOS audio plugin to the new module API. Will
3258 probably need a few fixes to work or even compile.
3259 * Ported the alsa plugin to the news vlc module API
3260 * Fixed 32 bits bitstream bugs.
3261 * Moved the MPEG audio decoder to the new bitstream
3262 * Cleaning in the SPU decoder.
3263 * Moved swab32 from input_ext-dec.h to common.h. We probably won't need
3264 it anymore really soon, since ntohl() and htonl() seem to be properly
3265 optimized when gcc is passed the right optimization flags.
3266 * Fixed GetBits32 and RemoveBits32. I know the #ifdefs are useless since
3267 we only support u32 words, but it's a safe reminder. Comments appreciated
3268 on this fix since I may have b0rked something -- it runs well here though.
3269 * Changed code for handling b_die in bitstream ;
3270 * Moved input_ext-dec.h to input.h ;
3271 * New input_NullPacket function ;
3272 * Fixed init bugs in input and vpar ;
3273 * Placed a callback to the decoder in the bitstream structure ;
3274 * Fixed a purify bug in input_ps.c ;
3275 * Added -mcpu=pentiumpro in the Makefile.
3276 * Complete commenting of modules_core.h and small modifications
3277 * Separated MODULE_CONFIG_START and ADD_WINDOW (Henri, beware)
3278 * Fixed a very, very old bug that caused namespace collision between
3279 plugins (Henri, beware: call your aout_getplugin function like this,
3280 not alsa_aout_getplugin)
3281 * Removed the Debian specific clean rules from the Makefile, since they
3282 are already handled by the debian/rules script.
3283 * Tidied a few compilation rules (-lfoo should always be at the end)
3284 * Added 8bits palette SDL support.
3285 * Fixed a warning under FreeBSD (dlerror() is a const char*, not a char*).
3286 * Made configure script look for the bswap assembly instruction (using
3287 AC_TRY_COMPILE makes sure the compiler will really accept it).
3288 * Fixed colors' bug (TODO: write a function in vout that recalculate colors
3290 * Cleaning of the fullscreen switch, still sucks but the surface is not
3291 reallocated and that's good (thanks to the magic function
3292 SDL_WM_ToggleFullScreen provided by sdl library :).
3293 * Added a missing mutex_unlock in video_output.c
3294 * Moved a mutex_destroy after the thread cancellation to prevent
3296 * Added a missing #ifdef in intf_msg.c which prevented compilation
3298 * Fixed a bug in the input that prevented to quit properly in certain
3299 cases (some ES were not deleted because their index was skipped when
3300 the former one was deleted, well Meuuh should know what I mean)
3301 * Cleaning of SDL Lock/Unlock Surface.
3302 * All plugins now compile with -fPIC.
3303 * Made the audio_output API a bit simpler.
3304 * Got rid of modules_config.h.
3305 * Fixed `make install' rule.
3306 * Fixed warnings in the MMX YUV compilation.
3307 * Probably fixed a bug in the input : pp_foo structures were free()d at
3308 the end, but this was useless since the last call to realloc() is
3309 equivalent to free(), and two consecutive calls to free() aren't a
3311 * We check that the version number match and that we don't already have
3312 a module by that name when loading a new module.
3313 * All public module_* functions now properly lock the module bank.
3314 * The audio_output now uses the new module API ; EsounD and DSP modules
3315 have been ported, which should be enough for Henri to port the ALSA one.
3316 * Added vlc_mutex_destroy and vlc_cond_destroy function, for pthreads.
3317 Used them before quitting, every lock and cond is destroyed
3318 * Checked the return value of malloc and realloc in input_programs
3319 * Fixed compilation pb under solaris 2.6
3320 * Should compile & run on Solaris with ./configure --disable-dsp
3322 * Removed most SYS_SOLARIS #ifdef's in favour of more generic tests
3323 * Updated example ./configure line in INSTALL file
3324 * Now we only load modules that end with ".so"
3325 * null module is compiled by default
3326 * Fixed initialization of payload_start and payload_end
3327 * --enable-sdl and some others are now --with-sdl[=name] to supply an
3328 optional library name ;
3329 * Deleted all unnecessary #include <sys/uio.h> ;
3330 * /usr/include is now searched when looking for libraries and headers.
3331 * src/misc/modules.c is in a workable state now.
3332 * Splitted modules.h into modules.h and modules_core.h to enable
3333 clean compilation of the Null Module.
3334 * Added the Null Module, the module that does nothing but that is going
3335 to be of great help for debugging my module code.
3336 * Plugins are now called modules, because we will be able to compile
3337 them either as a dynamic plugin, or within the program. And, more
3338 important, I can commit this without having to break the vlc :)
3340 * video_output.c : compute picture size even if b_need_render == 0;
3341 * Fixed a deadlock (the vout unlocked a mutex locked by another thread,
3342 grrrr, I'll kill someone) ;
3343 * Put config.h in front of others in audio_decoder.c.
3344 * Better display of the fps.
3345 * Removed i_iovec_start and i_iovec_end. Used i_data instead
3346 * Fixed THX Cimmarron bug (it was _not_ a synchro bug).
3347 * Fixed a bug in the DTS/PTS parsing ;
3348 * Fixed a bug in vpar_headers.c synchro handling introduced before ;
3349 * Enhanced synchro's handling of dates and frame structure changes.
3350 * Fixed a bug in the PSM decoder.
3351 * We now read the DTS (but we don't use it for the moment).
3352 NB : b_has_pts has disappeared for brevity reasons, use i_pts != 0 instead.
3353 * New synchro statistics and warnings.
3354 * Avoid calling SafeRead() with a null packet size.
3355 * Use of ptrdiff_t whenever necessary (IA-64 port) ;
3356 * Changed behaviour of preparsing code, faster startup ;
3357 * Fixed DecodePSM(), cannot test ;
3358 * Cleaned up ParsePES(), fixed a bug which could reject very small but
3360 * Fixed cosmetic bugs in vpar_synchro frame_rate display.
3361 * Changed subtitles palette.
3362 * SPU decoder now uses Meuuh's GetChunk() code.
3363 * Lots of cleaning in the SPU decoder.
3364 * Message queue is flushed before we spawn input.
3365 * Fixed so that it compiles with VDEC_SMP (no good sync yet though).
3366 * Using i_id instead of i_stream_id whenever possible ;
3367 * Fixed a bug in -c and -s options.
3368 * Fixed a compile pbm in debug mode (f34r d4 1-line fix)
3369 * Fixed AC3 and SPU PES reading (ph34r da one-byte patch)
3370 * Some 79 char wrap.
3371 * No need to add "\n" at the end of intf_*Msg() messages anymore.

3384 * Cleaned up input_ts.c, added it into the Makefile.
3385 * Fixed various memory leaks.
3386 * Removed all arbitrary limits on the number of elementary streams.
3387 * Removed b_die and b_error from all decoders (obsoleted by decoder_fifo_t).
3388 All decoders should now exit cleanly (if it's not the case, it should be
3389 referenced as a bug).
3390 * Fixed a bug which prevented the input to exit normally (non-selected
3391 ES in the pp_selected_es array).
3392 * Added netlist support.
3393 * Added U8_Mono audio output
3394 * Fixed "-a [ mpeg | ac3 | lpcm | off ]" option
3395 * Only pre-parse the first 32 MB of data.
3396 * Added -a, -c and -s options. (-a doesn't work but I will let the people
3397 who thought it would be cleaner to put config in environment variables
3398 correct what's wrong in my code).
3399 * Now we only try to open plugins which are existing files
3400 * Big cleanup of the PS input plugin ;
3401 * Fixed a bug in AC3 initialization ;
3402 * PS streams are now pre-parsed (this can take a while) if possible ;
3403 * Move #define from audio_output.h to config.h
3404 * Change vlan_server_ip to vishnou's ip (but vlans not working yet)
3405 * GetChunk() : reads n bytes from the elementary stream and places them
3406 in a big buffer (a gift for Sam).
3407 * Quantic start in fullscreen fixed.
3408 * Input-II now correctly handles private stream 1 (AC3, DVDSPU).
3409 * Split the audio decoder into adec_generic, adec_layer1 and adec_layer2
3411 * Added SDLYUV support,
3412 * Fixed the ratio/position problem in YUV,
3413 * We now display CPU usage statistics for each thread.
3414 * Additional fix for Layer 1 mono
3416 * Fixed audio syncword detection for mpeg 1 streams (hopefully)
3417 * Fixed Layer 2 Mono decoding.
3418 * Hardware YUV overlay (SDL) with real colors ;p It may suck for non
3420 * Removed vout code found in intf file to support fullscreen switching.
3421 Now only vout_SDL updates SDL data and intf only switch flags such as
3422 b_reopen_display and b_fullscreen in p_vout->p_sys.

3440 * Code to manage es_descriptors and program_descriptors, from benny's
3442 * VLAN support modified.

3445 * Fixed a bug in the synchro with non-P5/B1 streams.
3446 * Support for MPEG-1 .mpg files.
