7 * ./AUTHORS: added ipkiss.
8 * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: disabled the "hide interface" menu
9 item, not yet implemented.
10 * ./plugins/win32/about.dfm: replaced the outdated author list with a
11 "VideoLAN Team" entry.
12 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade, plugins/gtk/gnome.glade, ./plugins/kde/kde.cpp:
13 replaced the outdated author list with a "VideoLAN Team" entry.
14 * ./debian/rules, ./debian/control: deactivated the vlc-kde package because
15 it does not work, and removed the vlc-a52 package because liba52 is
16 statically linked into vlc.
17 * ./debian/control: added more helpful package descriptions.
18 * ALL: changed version to 0.3.0. Yeah, it's coming.
19 * ./Makefile: fixed make dist.
20 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a vout4 image starvation bug.
21 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: we look for libdvdcss.so.2 as well as -.so.1.
22 * ./configure.in: BSD/OS fixes thanks to Steven M. Schultz.
23 * ./Makefile: renamed the `snapshot' rule to `dist'.
24 * ./Makefile: removed the `snapshot-nocss' rule which isn't needed anymore.
25 * ./Makefile.modules: modules now depend on Makefile.opts.
26 * ./configure.in: added (hopefully) explicit messages on how to get
27 libdvdcss and link vlc with it.
28 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: removed inclusion of dvd_udf.h.
29 * ./plugins/win32/*: Added management for secondary config dialogs
30 * ./plugins/ogg/*: added preliminary files for an Ogg/Vorbis decoder a
31 contributor is currently working on.
32 * ALL: removed libdvdcss from the vlc tree.
33 * ALL: removed libdvdread from the vlc tree.
34 * ./acconfig.h: removed this file.
35 * ./plugins/dvd/dummy_dvdcss.c: merged this file into dvd.c.
36 * ./AUTHORS: moved a few gentlemen to the libdvdcss AUTHORS file.
37 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: use the dvd_device config option.
38 * ./po/ja.po: added Japanese translation from Fumio Nakayama
39 <endymion@ca2.so-net.ne.jp>.
40 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: fixed disc ejection code.
41 * ./include/threads.h: new pthread implementation for WinNT/2K/XP. This
42 implementation shouldn't be subject to race conditions as it is using
43 SignalObjectAndWait() from the Win32 API. As this should be somehow slower
44 than the old method (still used on Win9x), you can specify that you want
45 to use the old method with the "fast_pthread" config option.
46 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: added a new p_main_sys global variable. This
47 variable is a pointer to an OS specific structure which is defined in
48 *_specific.h. This structure can be filled by the already existing
49 System_Init() function and is a nice way to avoid too many #ifdefs.
50 * ./include/defs.h.in: got rid of the DVD_DEVICE macro. We now use the
51 dvd_device config option. This creates a small memory leak as we don't free
52 the string obtained from config_GetPszVariable, but I think we can live
54 * ./configure.in: the SSE plugins are disabled on the mingw32 build as they
55 don't work (because memalign is not implemented on win32, and malloc only
56 aligns on an 8 bytes boundary).
57 * ./INSTALL.win32: fixed a small mistake.
58 * ./include/config.h: fixed config directory name for windows.
59 * ./plugins/win32: the network dialog now respects the preferences settings.
60 * ./src/input/input_ext-plugins.c: compilation fix. :-ppppp
61 * ./plugins/memcpy/fastmemcpy.h: AltiVec-enabled version of fastmemcpy.
62 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: use ImageBuffer instead of ScreenBuffer in
63 OS X video output (should be faster).
64 * ./src/interface/main.c: check that channels have been created before
65 the call to network_ChannelJoin.
66 * ./plugins/win32/*: fixed a few bugs in the preferences.
67 * ./plugins/win32/*: better auto-resizing of the main window.
68 * ./plugins/win32/*: the disc dialog now respects the preferences settings.
69 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: small compilation fix.
70 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: added a test for the nooverlay option.
71 * ./include/config.h: changed directory of the config file for BeOS to be
72 consistant with OS standard.
73 * ./configure.in: BeOS, liba52 and chroma plugin compilation fixes.
74 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: removed a warning.
75 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: Solaris fixes by Meuuh.
76 * ./FAQ: removed outdated stuff.
77 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed yet another bug related to the event
79 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: removed a few debug messages.
80 * ./extras/Win32_msvc/*: Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 6 project files. This
81 is useful mainly for debugging as the hardware accelerated plugins can't
82 be compiled with msvc.
83 * ./plugins/downmix/ac3_downmix_sse.c, ./plugins/downmix/ac3_downmix_3dn.c:
84 Win32 compilation fixes when downmixsse and downmix3dn are declared as
86 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed the waiting on the event thread
87 creation in the directx plugin.
88 * ./Makefile: updated the "package-win32" rule.
89 * ./install-win32: all txt files are now converted to dos format (CRLF).
90 * ./doc/win32/Cross-Compile-Howto.txt: VLC-Win32 Cross-Compile Howto,
91 courtesy of Bill Eldridge.
92 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: improved overlay detection, default colour
94 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: allow the user to resize the configuration
96 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: moved config_GetIntVariable out of the
98 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: you can now set a maximum height for the
99 configuration windows in the gtk and gnome plugins. This patch _doesn't
100 change_ the look of the interface unless this interface tries to use more
101 space than allowed, in which case scrollbars are added to make the
102 navigation easy. Note that this setting only affects the default size the
103 interface will use, the user is then free to change the size of the window
105 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: tooltips are now triggered only in
106 specific places. This is a lot less intrusive and annoying for the users.
107 * ./plugins/win32: fixed the bug on exiting the vout pressing 'q'.
108 * ./plugins/beos/*: implemented an "always-on-top" feature for the interface
109 window, RGB16 Overlay supported again, resizing is now implemented
111 * ./plugins/win32: subtitles should work, now.
112 * ./plugins/access/udp.c: disabled the server argument in udpstream: because
113 it confuses users and is not of any practical use.
114 * ./src/interface/main.c: fix for sparc.
115 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: don't try to stat() the dvd drive letter on
117 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: disabled YUV overlay double buffering for
118 now, as it seems to actually be slower.
119 * ./include/threads.h: temporary fix in vlc_cond_signal() for win32 (I really
120 should use SignalObjectAndWait() on WinNT so we can avoid race conditions
121 in the pthread code). This fixes a problem noticed on WinXP where vlc would
122 freeze regularly and eat-up all the CPU (fun no?).
123 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: when unselecting an ES, we must ged rid of
124 p_es->p_pes so that it is regererated when we select this ES again. It made
125 vlc segfault when switching from some stream to another, or when switching
126 program in satellite input.
127 * ./plugins/access/udp.c: UDP access plug-in can now receive MPTS (Multiple
128 Program TS) and switch programs.
129 * ./plugins/macosx/*: audio and video output go to time-constrained
130 scheduling [OS X port].
131 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: some dirty ifdefs for a nicer gnome
132 interface (gnome buttons, gnome dialogs).
133 * ./po/nl.po: translation of user interface messages to Netherlands.
134 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: new options "gtk_hide_toltips"
135 or "gnome_hide_tooltips". Tooltips are enabled by default. This option is
136 only considered on module initialization.
137 * ./configure.in: GNU make detection.
138 * ./extras/MacOSX/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib/objects.nib: deleted
139 non-working fullscreen menu item [OS X].
140 * ./plugins/access/http.c, ./plugins/access/udp.c: udp and http no longer
141 modify p_input->psz_name.
142 * ALL: various little portability fixes.
143 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: changed the behaviour of the config file:
144 now all the config options are saved. <string> config options which have
145 no default value are also saved in the config file but as an empty string,
146 and config_LoadConfigFile will ignore empty config options, which also
147 means we cannot pass an empty string as a <string> config option. (this
148 shouldn't matter anyway).
149 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: modified the gtk interface to save an
150 empty <string> option as a NULL pointer.
151 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: modified config_LoadConfigFile to consider an
152 empty <string> option as a NULL pointer.
153 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: save button (inadvertently suppressed).
154 * ./plugins/win32: added toolbar icons (thanks xav), we can no longer edit
155 plugin names in the preferences :)
156 * ./plugins/win32: the tool button for playlist is now a toggle button.
157 * ./plugins/beos/InterfaceWindow.cpp: disabled controls if the playlist was
159 * ./plugins/win32/*: added a win32 interface plugin, developed with Borland
160 C++ Builder. To build the plugin, follow the instructions in
162 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: fixed an ugly structure, the tabs are not
163 verticaly expanded as they were, small enhancements.
164 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk_common.h: new
166 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: modifications of some widgets, the
167 structure, cosmetic changes.
168 * ./src/interface/main.c: typos, a couple of new descriptions.
169 * ./src/interface/main.c: moved the "display" option from main to the
170 relevant plugins. ( We now have the x11_display, xvideo_display,
171 xmga_display and ggi_display options ).
172 * ./INSTALL-win32.txt: fixed a little omission.
173 * ./src/plugins/gtk/*: fixed a bug that made vlc segfault when choosing a
174 program, change to another and come back to the first one.
175 * ./src/plugins/gtk/*: added gtk and gnome interfaces for satellite input. We
176 should find a way to hide the button if satellite support is not compiled.
177 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: implemented correct scaling and used new
178 window size variables. Beta always on top for the interface window. New
180 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: fixed a problem in the MacOS X aout which
181 caused the previously played audio frames to be played when there were no
182 new frames available.
183 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: MacOS X vout now uses the height/width
184 calculated in video_output.c.
185 * ./configure.in: Win32 fix.
186 * ./configure.in: miscellaneous fixes for the OS X port.
187 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: the calculation for the initial video
188 window dimensions is now done in video_output.c and made available into
189 p_vout->i_window_height/width. This allows to get rid of duplicated code
190 and unify the behaviour of the video output plugins. (not all the plugins
191 have been modified because I didn't want to break anything).
192 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: moved GetConfigurationFromCmdLine() into
193 configuration.c and renamed it to config_LoadCmdLine().
194 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: config_GetHomeDir doesn't use getpwuid_r
195 anymore as this was creating some problems on solaris. This function now
196 uses getpwuid and is called only once to store the home directory into the
198 * ./plugins/satellite/*: added satellite input. It works with WinTV Nova
199 card, and siemens 0.9.4 drivers from www.linuxtv.org.
200 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: fixed stupid bug in stupid
201 ConvertPrintfFormatString() function.
202 * ./plugins/win32/waveout.c: fixed the "waveout not closing" bug. We need to
203 reset the waveout device before closing it.
204 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: fixed a bus error on UltraSparc.
205 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: Win32 and Solaris compilation fix.
206 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: improved scaling, correct aspect ratio even
207 in full screen mode, duplicate code reduces and framework for Overlay and
208 OpenGL modes in place.
209 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: kludge to allow the ALSA module to be
210 compiled as a plugin. Please test.
211 * ./include/modules.h: fixed a C++ warning.
212 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: VCD raw device fix, courtesy of Steven Schultz.
213 * ./configure.in: better IPv6 detection. IPv6 is disabled under MacOS X (no
215 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed some bugs in program management:
216 selected ESs must be attached to the selected program.
217 * ./plugins/aa: aalib output plugin courtesy of Sigmund Augdal.
218 * ./configure.in: fixed a few bashisms.
219 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed build under Solaris.
220 * ./TODO: updated todo list.
221 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: fixed a memory leak.
222 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_pool.c: fixed a memory leak.
223 * plugins/win32/waveout.c: fixed typo.
224 * ./configure.in: BeOS compilation fixes.
225 * ./debian/rules: activated (broken) KDE interface.
226 * ./plugins/access/http.c: fixed a segfault.
227 * ./plugins/alsa/aout_alsa.c: fixed a segfault.
228 * ./include/common.h: fixed the compilation fix for Borland C++ :)
229 * ./include/common.h: compilation fix for Borland C++.
230 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: MacOS X aout now uses AudioConverter for
232 * ./plugins/macosx/*:Various MacOS X intf improvements and bug fixes.
233 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb8.c: fixed a warning.
234 * ./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: fixed chroma deinterlacing.
235 * ./plugins/kde/kde.cpp: the KDE interface compiles again.
236 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_es.c: fixed a segfault I introduced today.
237 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: cosmetic fix.
238 * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a typo in the --help output.
239 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: fixed a segfault in the vlcs communication; still
240 unstable but solving other bugs won't do any good without rewriting the
241 whole playlist code. Which I'm doing right now.
242 * ./configure.in: MacOS X compile fixes.
243 * ./src/input/input.c: skip "//" if we find "://" in a resource we have to
244 play : this allows us touse the syntax udpstream://host.
245 * ./extras/MacOSX_dvdioctl: removed outdated files.
246 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: fixed an infinite loop error.
247 * ./plugins: fixed segfaults in various demux plugins.
248 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: SDL_VIDEODRIVER can be specified from the
249 command line; try "--vout sdl:aalib"
250 * ./configure.in: fixed linking of the ipv4 plugin.
251 * ./configure.in: DirectX plugin is now correctly detected and configured.
252 * ./BUGS: updated bug list.
253 * ./configure.in: ./configure --help should be a lot clearer now.
254 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb8.c: plain C 8 bpp transformation.
255 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: plain C 24/32 bpp transformations.
256 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
257 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
258 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
259 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault.
260 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: added an alternate fullscreen method. With this
261 method, _nothing_ is allowed to be displayed on top of the video
262 (especially not taskbars, etc...). Of course this can also be annoying
263 sometimes, this is why it's an option.
264 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: small fix for the config file. The parser
265 assumes that the config file is divided into sections (a section is the
266 config data for a plugin and begins with something like [foo]), so the
267 comment for the beginning of the section must be after the section marker
269 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: tidied code and prevented curruption on
270 window not containing the video. Video window now returns to correct size
271 and position after toggling full screen.
272 * ./configure.in: more modules are plugins.
273 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: changed ~/.VideoLan/vlc to ~/.videolan/vlcrc,
274 and a few cosmetic changes (sorry Gildas for the butchery).
275 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: C version of the I420 to RV15/16 chroma.
276 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: this the last piece of the new configuration
277 module. You can now save your configuration options (only from the
278 gtk/gnome interface for now). The config file will be saved as
280 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: we now analyze the subtitle image
281 data to find the border color and the inner colors when there was
282 no way to find the palette data (network stream).
283 * ./plugins/mpeg_system: fixed a parsing bug I introduced yesterday.
284 * ./Makefile: fixed OS X vlc.app compilation dependencies.
285 * ./configure.in: fixed the endianness check under Solaris.
286 * ./src/input/input.c: strings are now initialized to "" instead of NULL.
287 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: we now properly support the subtitle
288 palette information we get from the DVD. Subtitles rox !
289 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: removed all DVD-specific routines
290 and put them into spu_decoder.c.
291 * ./plugins/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: removed an ugly loop.
292 * ./plugins/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: moved iec958/spdif encapsulation from
293 ac3_spdif to aout_spdif. It will eventually allows to use ac3_adec or a52
295 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: fixed chapter selection at startup.
296 * ./src/input/input_dec.c: p_es->p_demux_data is available in
297 p_config->p_demux_data so that the input can pass information directly to
298 the decoder. First application: aspect ratio for DVD is read from the ifo
299 (should fix the buf with aspect ratio in anamorphic DVDs).
300 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c: the DVD plugin also copies the spu yuv palette in
301 p_demux_data so that the spudec can display subtitle with the right color
303 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: removed duplicate code and useless lock in gtk.
304 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed EOF and Stop segfault in VCD input:
305 input_BuffersEnd was being called twice.
306 * ./AUTHORS: updated Tony Castley's e-mail.
307 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: new resizing and scaling code. More in line
309 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: a52 plugin updated to use liba52-0.7.3 (which is now
310 available in debian :)
311 * ./src/interface/main.c: new configuration option to choose audio output
312 format at runtime. It allows to select spdif pass-through decoder with
313 --ac3_adec and to remove the ugly b_ac3 in main.h. As a consequence --spdif
314 doesn't work anymore: you should use --ac3_adec pass.
315 * ./src/interface/main.c: return the option name in error message for
316 unknown option intead of the argument.
317 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: gtk config interface modified so you can
318 only have one instance of a plugin config dialog box displayed at one time.
319 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: new GTK configuration interface. This
320 interface is generated dynamically at run-time from the configuration data
321 contained in each plugin.
322 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: config_PutPszVariable and config_GetPszVariable
324 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: few modifications/optimizations to the config
326 * ./include/config.h: got rid of all the _VAR macros in config.h.
327 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: added missing include (MacOS X port).
328 * ./plugins/dvd/*: fixed EOF segfault at end of DVD.
329 * ./src/input/input.c: buffer manager is renintialised at area change.
330 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c, ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: we now exit more
331 cleanly on initialization error.
332 * ./plugins/dvd/*: rewrote most functions in DVD plugin. Some old bugs might
333 have been solved in the operation. The plugin some be more readable now,
334 and should produce fewaer segfaults (I hope so :p)
335 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: added some tests in open.
336 * ./plugins/alsa/aout_alsa.c: spdif support in the ALSA plugin.
337 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: when reaching the end of a track, moves to the
339 * ./src/interface/main.c: disabled the GNOME segfault dialog in debug
340 mode. We want nice, clean segfaults, with huge core files and a lot
342 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: I hope you liked this bug: DVD demux was always used.
343 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_demux.c: fixed demux plugin selection.
344 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: take the lock on stream in VCDInit. Please
345 test, as I don't have any VCD to do it.
346 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_parse.c: ac3dec is now less verbose.
347 * ./src/interface/interface.c: fixed a deadlock when seeking the
348 stream using the keyboard arrows.
349 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_display.c: removed an occurance of former angle item in
351 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: fixed a bug
352 in ES management introduced lately in DVD/DvdRead.
353 * ./plugins/dvd/*: beginning of reorganisation in DVD plugin source files,
354 in order to try to make it easier to understand. There is some work left
356 * ./plugins/vcd/vcd.c: decreased the score for VCD plugin, as the VCD demuxer
357 was used even for DVD :p. It should make autodetection work.
358 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: modified vcd input for the new input III. Still
359 have problems with end of tracks.
360 * ./plugins/vcd/vcd.c: modified the command line, as stef did for the DVD.
361 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: DVD demux was no longer selected under win32.
362 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: DVD angle
363 is now handled through a program structure, so that the interface needs
364 nothing specific to change angle.
365 * ./src/input/input_clock.c: fixed a bug in clock management where ES without
366 a program couldn't get timestamped.
367 * ./plugins/gtk/*: fixed program management in gnome/gtk. Program now also
369 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: in interface, only display ES associated with
370 the selected program, or with no program at all.
371 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed typo in the win32 change to the input parser.
372 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: more complete
373 command line parsing for DVD, hopefully working this time.
374 * ./plugins/network/ipv6.c: IPv6 network module, courtesy of Alexis Guillard
375 <alexis.guillard@bt.com>, for BT.
376 * ./src/interface/main.c: --6 and --4 options to force IPv6 or IPv4 (FIXME:
377 it should be -6 and -4 but I don't know how to do it with the new
378 configuration module).
379 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: channel manager now uses a socket from the network
380 plug-in and is more portable (and probably broken, too :)
381 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ps.c, ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c:
382 input_ReadPS and input_ReadTS are now in mpeg_system.c to be more easily
383 reused by plug-ins other than mpeg_ps and mpeg_ts.
384 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: we now make sure the aout plugin buffers
385 always contain between AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION/2 and AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION*3/2
386 worth of audio. This should solve the audio buffer underruns.
387 * ./src/input/input.c: fix for the bug in input when filename contains a '@'
389 * ./src/input/input.c: simplified the win32 specific changes to the input
390 parser. (I think we can safely assume that no access plugin name will have
391 a length of one character).
392 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: DVD access plugin is only called if specified under
393 windows (no automatic detection).
394 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: replaced setenv with putenv.
395 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_open.c: fixed a bug in gtk.
396 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: new command line for DVD, to get rid of global
397 options input_title or so.
398 * ./Makefile: added network to the list of the plugins directories.
399 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: fixed DVD input under Win32.
400 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed input parser under win32, chich couldn't
401 understand that c:\windows\bureau is a valid file and doesn't need to be
402 accessed with the plugin 'C' :-)
403 * ./AUTHORS: added xav.
404 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: got rid of int_types.h and did a few changes
405 Ipkiss will need. Hope I did not break other platforms.
406 * ./include/common.h: fixed compilation problem related to ssize_t.
407 * ./include/common.h: various Win32 compilation fixes.
408 * ./include/input_ext-plugins.h: DVD compiles, but doesn't work yet.
409 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: fixed some typos in my previous Win32 multicast
411 * ./plugins/dummy/input_dummy.c: fixed `vlc vlc:quit'.

413 * ./src/input/input.c: initialize p_access_module & p_demux_modules to NULL
414 when input thread is created.
415 * ./po/no.po: Norwegian translation by Sigmund Augdal. Berdå ka pø tüt.
416 * ./src/misc/modules.c: shortcuts for --intf work again, gvlc launches the
417 Gtk interface, qvlc launches the Qt interface, etc.
418 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: we now have sound together with --aout scope.
419 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: removed numerous
421 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: multicast under Win32 now works with the new
423 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: dvd and dvdread support
425 * ./src/input/*, ./plugins/network/*, ./plugins/access/*: Input III
426 (Episode 1). Major rewrite of the buffer core functions, modularity of
427 access plugins (file, udp, http), modularity of network stack (ipv4, soon
428 ipv6), autodetection of the type of stream.
429 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_headers.c: we no longer crash when the next
430 stream doesn't have the same image size as the previous one.
431 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c: another overrun fix; please test.
432 * ./configure.in: fixed a plugins/dsp.so compilation issue under OpenBSD.
433 * ./plugins/dsp/aout_dsp.c: OpenBSD compilation fix.
434 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault on exit.
435 * ./src/input/input.c: BeOS network support (no idea if it works when you
436 don't have BONE, though).
437 * ./include/common.h: BeOS compile fixes.
438 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: fixed BeOS video output.
439 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed uninitialized variable in
441 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: char pointers obtained by
442 config_GetPszVariable need to be freed.
443 * ./src/interface/main.c: forgot to add the declaration of server_port.
444 * ./src/input/input.c: multicast now works under Win32, but this is a _bad_
446 * ./include/threads.h: support for the State Threads Library, a userland
447 threads library (http://state-threads.sourceforge.net/). Useless to most
448 people, but can be handy to debug stuff. Activate with `--enable-st'.
449 * ./plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c,
450 ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: adaptation to new configuration scheme for dvd,
452 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: removed CVS garbage.
453 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: fixed a compile issue on IA64.
454 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: new toy plugin, an audio scope module.
455 * ./src/audio_output/aout_spdif.h: replacement header for aout_common.h.

457 output which made the sound stutter when wrapping around the audio output
459 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: lots of simplifications in the audio
460 output, got rid of b_stereo.
461 * ./plugins/gtk/*: added a menu in the GTK and gnome interfaces to change
462 the current program in multi-program streams (such as ones provided by a
464 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: new configuration architecture for vlc.
465 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: fixed array over-run bug in intf_MsgUnsub.
466 * ./configure.in: don't try to grok altivec with mingw32.
467 * ./configure.in: --with-directx-path should now indicate the path where the
468 actual headers are (before the headers had to be in an include subdir). By
469 the way you can download these header files from the videolan web site.
470 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: if symbol foo isn't found in the
471 plugin, we always try to open _foo, whatever the architecture.
472 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: non-blocking patch from Sigmund Augdal
473 <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>; hope this time my enhancements don't break
475 * ./configure.in: gtk*-config detection fix for FreeBSD.
476 * ./configure.in: removed a bashism.
477 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for systems without shm.h.
478 * ALL: QNX compilation fixes here and there; the qnx plugin still doesn't
480 * ./Makefile: the win32 port now uses a more recent version of gtk+.
481 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: the log window is now black with colourful text.
482 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c: ported the log window to the GNOME interface.
483 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: messages are sent to the queue even if
484 -vvvv* wasn't specified.
485 * ./plugins/vcd/cdrom_tools.c: MacOS X VCD support.
486 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.: various fixes, thanks to Sigmund Augdal.
487 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: rewrote an ugly loop.
488 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: added a Gtk+ window containing all the log
489 messages; updated in real time. To open it, go to "view"->"messages".
490 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: got rid of TRACE and intf_DbgMsg which were
492 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: all intf_*Msg functions now write to stderr.
493 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: implemented a message queue interface plugins
495 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: wrote the logger interface plugin. Usage:
496 vlc -I logger:filename.log.
497 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: lots of fixes in the SPU renderer.
498 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a typo in aspect ratio
500 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: MacOS X vout improvements.
501 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_macosx.c: MacOS X intf now returns, allowing vlc to
503 * ./Makefile: added a new make target: package-macosx.
504 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: Win32 compilation fixes (mingw includes
506 * ./configure.in: configure now checks for ddraw.h and not directx.h.
507 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: don't include directx.h anymore (this
508 file isn't part of the directx sdk).
509 * ./plugins/waveout/waveout.c: moved all the stuff from aout_waveout.c
510 directly into waveout.c (I don't know what I was thinking about when I
511 created these two files ;-)
512 * ./plugins/waveout/waveout.c: until we fix the audio buffer underrun
513 problem, waveout will be the default audio output on win32 (instead of
515 * ALL: got rid of *_Probe functions because most of them were duplicates
516 of the real _Init or _Create functions. That's 1000 lines of code gained.
517 * ./src/misc/modules.c: we try not to keep the global lock in module_Need,
518 which should speed up output spawning.
519 * ./plugins/dummy/input_dummy.c: fixed vlc:quit command.
520 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: compilation fix.
521 * ./plugins/macosx/*: preliminary fixes for the vout4 port.
522 * ./plugins/gtk/*: Win32 fixes.
523 * ./plugins/beos/*: BeOS fixes from Rudolf Cornelissen.
524 * ./src/interface/main.c: --desync now really accepts a value in ms.
525 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed a crash when not opening a VCD.
526 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: fixed subtitles under BeOS and
527 other architectures which don't support overlay.
528 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: compilation fix (include stdint.h).
529 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: fixed a SEGV.
530 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: ported the BeOS RGB video output to
531 vout4. The overlay video output still needs to be written though.
532 * ./plugins/a52/*: just renamed the liba52_adec plugin into a52 to comply
533 with the naming convention used by the other plugins.
534 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: IR remote control plugin by Sigmund Augdal
535 <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>, activate with --enable-lirc.
536 * ./configure.in: put liba52_adec in a builtin for PIC/non-PIC reasons.
537 * ./plugins/liba52_adec/*: new AC3 decoder plugin using liba52 from Aaron
538 Holtzman and Michel Lespinasse. This plugin isn't used by default, you
539 have to specify: --ac3_adec liba52.
540 * ./src/misc/modules.c: changed module_Need to make it possible to
541 have several modules with the same shortcut name.
542 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_open.c: fixed a bug in the network dialog.
543 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: added mstrtime() to module_symbols_t so we
544 can compile the mpeg_vdec plugin with TRACE mode enabled.
545 * ./plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c: fixed ac3_spdif which has been broken
547 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: check frequency in ac3_adec and change fifo
549 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: moved initialisation of p_aout from
550 plugins to audio_output.c; if audio output rate is specified at launch
551 time, we try to use it by default.
552 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: MMX YUV to RGB transformation for 15bpp.
553 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: added double-buffering for the directx
554 plugin in overlay mode.
555 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: several directx bug-fixes: implemented
556 the right behaviour on exit, fixed bug preventing the creation of several
557 windows (the wall filter is working now :-)), fixed unnecessary background
558 redraws (it made the video flicker), fixed bug where we were losing the
559 video display because of lost surfaces in video memory, when using hardware
560 overlay, the output window will now specify "(using hardware overlay)".
561 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: we don't use DPMS functions if they are
563 * ./plugins/win32/waveout.c: added a new very simple audio plugin for
564 Win32. This plugin uses the waveOut API which is a lot easier to use for
565 streaming stuff than directsound. (you don't have to take care of
566 underflows anymore because it doesn't use circular buffers). If you are
567 having a lot of underflows, this plugin is currently better adapted than
569 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: moved some initialization stuff in
570 audio_out.c so we can now the caracteristics of the audio stream before
572 * ./configure.in, Makefile: configure and Makefile tweaking for dvdread
574 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: fixed a missing function initialization
575 which made decoder plugins segfault in GetChunk calls.
576 * ./configure.in: proper soundcard.h check from Yves Duret.
577 * ./plugins/mpeg_adec/mpeg_adec.c: enabled --stereo option for streams that
578 pretend to be mono while they are not.
579 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: fixed an alignment issue in the ac3 decoder.
580 * ./src/input/input_dec.c: decoders do not necessarily use bit stream (see
582 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: mad PTS should finally be accurate.
583 * ./configure.in: some configure changes.
584 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: libmad_input now takes one frame at a time (see
585 mad_adec.h for defines)
586 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: audio_linear_dither() gives better sound
587 quality then s24_to_s16_pcm(), but also makes audio artefacts louder so
589 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: cleaned up libmad_output.
590 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: cleaned up InitThread.
591 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.h: made buffer size match libmad's expectations.
592 * ./plugins/mad/DESIGN: updated documentation.
593 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed crashes on exit in the directx
595 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: vout_PlacePicture is now accepting
596 picture width=height=0.
597 * ./configure.in: added extra checks for strange compilers such as
598 Borland C++ which do not support all gcc options. Note that vlc does
599 not compile with bcc32 yet, but is getting closer and closer to.
600 * ./plugins/win32: skeleton for the win32 interface Ipkiss is developing.
601 * ./config.guess ./config.sub: latest GNU versions.
602 * ./configure.in: when possible, xvideo is compiled as a plugin.
603 * ./vlc.spec: fixed a few minor inaccuracies.
604 * ./debian/control: vlc-gui is no longer depended on, but rather recommended.
605 * ./src/interface/main.c: --spumargin flag; use this to force displaying
606 subtitles at the bottom of the screen instead of putting them in the
607 middle, for instance: `--spumargin 5'.
608 * ./plugins/qnx/qnx.c, ./plugins/macosx/macosx.c, ./plugins/beos/beos.cpp:
609 converted the plugin initialization code of the macosx, beos and qnx
610 code. (please note that they should still not compile as they need
611 to be adapted to the new Vout4 architecture)
612 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: major rewrite of the directx video
613 plugin to adapt it to the new vout4 architecture. This plugin has also
614 been through a major clean-up and it is now much more robust and optimized.
615 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: fixed a few problems with the win32 build.
616 * ./src/interface/main.c: replaced the "overlay" command line option with
617 "nooverlay". The former was confusing and useless because overlays were
618 used by default anyway.
619 * ./vlc.spec: imported MandrakeSoft's new spec file.
620 * ./debian/control: fixed build-dependencies for vlc-mad.
621 * ./debian/rules: fixed the vlc-arts and vlc-mad package builds.
622 * ./plugins/gtk/{gtk|gnome}.c: the gnome/gtk interface should no longer user
623 p_input->stream before it has been initialized.
624 * ./src/input/input.c: stream lock is initialized in input_CreateThread
625 instead of initThread, to have it initialized when we call it in the
627 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: added support for S8 and U16 aout.
628 * ./debian/control: fixed Debian build-depends.
629 * ./include/config.h: changed RELEASE to HAVE_RELEASE because RELEASE
630 is already defined in <scsi/scsi.h> under Linux.
631 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: fixed issues in the PTS handling of the mad
632 plug-in (incomplete).
633 * ./src/input/input_ext-dec.c: more precise way to retrieve a PTS from the
635 * ./INSTALL.libmad: configure, build and install instructions for libmad
636 library and mad plugin.
637 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: smooth sound (not tested on iPaq).
638 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.c: le coup de grâce: all the code in audio
639 output is now factorized (except for ac3 spdif) in aout_common.c/.h.
640 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.h: aout thread functions are declared with
642 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: HUGE cleanings in audio output: removed
643 AOUT_INTF_*_FIFO, which where not used.
644 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.c: factored S16StereoPlay, U8MonoPlay, and
645 so on.., in a single function aout_FillBuffer (unsigned 8bit may be broken,
646 but I have no stream to test with :(
647 * ./configure.in: a few fixes for the Win32 build.
648 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed all the problems related to
650 * ./src/misc/modules.c: fixed a compile issue under platforms without
651 HAVE_DYNAMIC_PLUGINS.
652 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: MacOS X port.
653 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: 24/32 bpp software YUV.
654 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: activated double buffering.
655 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: we create more Xv pictures to
656 get smoother rendering.
657 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: removed aout_CreateFifo from mad_adec.c
658 InitThread() and added it to mad_libmad.c.
659 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: BSD compilation fix suggested by Steven M.
661 * ./src/audio_output/aout_s16.c: beginning of code factorization in
662 aout_s16 (more cleaning will come). As for libmad, I have tried to create
663 the aout fifo in libmad_output, to open it with the right sample rate, but
664 strangely it didn't work.
665 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed a few segfaults caused by the dummy plugin.
666 * ./plugins/mpeg_adec/mpeg_adec.c: fixed a segfault due to misuse of
668 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: replaced XFlush with XSync. This must be the
669 fourth time someone has to commit this, so I added a reminder :-)
670 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/input_ts.c: hopefully fixed a bug in TS input, that
671 caused a segfault when there was no network stream.
672 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: BSD/OS port by Steven M. Schultz.
673 * ./include/modules_inner.h: replaced _X with __VLC_SYMBOL because _X was
674 already a system macro under MacOS X.
675 * ./plugins/dummy/dummy.c: fixed vlc:loop, vlc:quit, etc. entries.
676 * ./plugins/glide/glide.c: activated double buffering.
677 * ./plugins/mga/xmga.c: started writing an xmga plugin; doesn't work yet.
678 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed the input memory leak, and the insane thread
679 spawning we got with vlc:loop.
680 * ./src/misc/intf_eject.c: disc ejection routine courtesy of Julien Blache,
681 currently Linux-only.
682 * ./src/audio_output/aout_ext-dec.c: better communication between audio
683 decoder and output: aout plugins are now opened directly in the right
684 mode (works with mpeg_adec and ac3_adec, not tested with mad).
685 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: first attempt to implement mono output
687 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: DVDRead plugins works again more or
688 less ; major bugs remain but it is usable. It is selected by default if
689 you have it compiled.
690 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_headers.c: fixed a bug in QuantMatrixExtension,
691 many thanks to "Thomas L. Wood" <twood@lucent.com> !
692 * ./debian/control: updated list of supported architectures.
693 * ./share/*: added 16x16 and 32x32 versions of PNG icons.
694 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: removed the mgammx module and put the code in
695 the chroma_i420_ymga module instead. This introduces a slight
696 performance issue as we now need to memcpy() the Y plane, but I have
697 some vout4 enhancements on their way which make this point moot.
698 * ./debian/changelog: imported official Debian changelog.
699 * ./debian/control: activated the vlc-mad and vlc-arts packages; package
700 builds should now work again.
701 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: solved a symbol resolution issue when vlc was
702 compiled without libdvdcss which overflowed the return stack.
703 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: ported the GGI plugin to vout4.
704 * ./plugins/glide/glide.c: ported the Glide plugin to vout4 (untested).
705 * ./src/input/input.c: prepared everything for multi-input mode; since
706 no interface is yet prepared to handle this, I changed them so that
707 they just use the first available input for now. This may break other
708 things, but I promise I'll eventually repair everything :-)
709 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: pipeline and cache optimizations.
710 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: MMX-accelerated version of the MGA plugin.
711 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/Makefile: little workaround for PA-Risc compilation.
712 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: optimized libmad_output() for smoother sound.
713 It is still not optimal.
714 * ./plugins/fb/fb.c: ported the framebuffer video output to vout4.
715 * ./src/audio_output/aout_s16.c: fixed a segfault. It may have unexpected
716 side effects because I don't know this part of the code, but at least
717 it doesn't crash anymore.
718 * ./plugins/beos/beos.cpp: first attempt at porting the BeOS plugin to the
719 new video output and module systems. Doesn't work nor even compile yet.
720 * ./configure.in: we now check the gtk-config version.
721 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: we use the MGA_VID_FSEL ioctl to select the
722 frame to be displayed. Unfortunately, increasing the number of
723 frames doesn't seem to work and makes the picture stutter...
724 * ./Makefile: fixed a bug when no builtins were selected.
725 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: ported the MGA video output to vout4. Only does YV12
726 for the moment, and there is a strange bug with some streams which gives
727 only a green image. Needs to be looked at.
728 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed a few typos.
729 * ./plugins/mad/DESIGN: updated documentation.
730 * ./plugins/mad/TODO: updated TODO list.
731 * ./plugins/mad/BUGS: updated documentation.
732 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.h: removed unused prototype from headerfile.
733 * ./configure.in: fix for obscure architectures like hppa where target_os
734 isn't properly detected.
735 * ./include/video_output.h: got rid of pf_setpalette; I'll find a nicer way.
736 * ./plugins/mga.c: fixed MGA module compilation. Doesn't work yet, though.
737 * ./include/common.h: hton64 is now an inline function.
738 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c et al.: vout4 now automatically
739 detects when two chroma formats are the same, such as UYVY/Y422, or
740 roughly equivalent, such as I420/YV12. Plugins need not worry about
742 * ./BUGS: added a list of known bugs. Please add your findings!
743 * ./MODULES: added a short description of each module. Maybe we should
744 add more details to make this file really useful.
745 * ./doc/bugreport-howto.txt: wishful thinking...
746 * ./Makefile: added a workaround for the fact that .c files don't depend
748 * ./plugins/memcpy/memcpy.c: all memcpy modules are now built from the same
750 * ./src/interface/main.c: added the --nommx, --no3dnow, --nommxext, --nosse
751 and --noaltivec options to vlc.
752 * ./configure.in: removed the --disable-mmx option, now useless because
753 of the vlc --no* options.
754 * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a crash caused by the memcpy module
755 being released too early.
756 * ./include/video.h: more vout4 changes, including margin support, more
757 FOURCC formats recognized, transparent support of identical or almost
758 identical FOURCC formats.
759 * ./include/video_output.h: added a vout_Render function to video output
760 modules which is to be executed before vout_Display.
761 * ./include/common.h: this header is back.
762 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed RGB conversion
763 functions, mostly taken from vout3's yuv functions, but heavily modified
764 to use FAST_MEMCPY and to handle image dimensions which are not multiples
765 of 16. Not all functions have been written yet, though.
766 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed YUV conversion
767 functions, various targets such as 4:2:2 YUYV, YVYU, UYVY, or 2:1:1 YUYV,
768 with accelerated MMX versions.
769 * ./plugins/chroma/i422_yuy2.c: same as i420_yuy2.c but takes planar YUV
770 4:2:2 pictures in input. With accelerated MMX versions as well. This plugin
771 makes it possible to display 4:2:2 files on most video cards without the
772 quality loss of 4:2:0 downsampling.
773 * ./plugins/filter/*: thanks to the vout_Render function, all filters now
774 output their data perfectly in sync.
775 * ./plugins/dvdread/Makefile: fix to prevent unnecessary target rebuilds.
776 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: support for YV12, UYVY, YUY2 and YVYU overlays.
777 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for I420, YV12, YUY2 and Y211 overlays.
778 * ./ChangeLog: imported the 0.2.92 changes, unrolled current CVS changes.
779 * ./include/config.h et al.: this file is no longer generated.
780 * ./include/video.h: we use the FOURCC definition of a chroma format to
781 describe picture types (see http://www.webartz.com/fourcc/).
782 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: compilation fix by Eyal Lebedinsky.
783 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the XShm operations order.
784 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: small optimizations.
785 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: removed unused code.
786 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: your old window position and size are now restored
787 when you come out of fullscreen mode.
788 * ./plugins/esd/esd.c: fixed detection of the esd plugin.
789 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/input_ts.c: fixed the ts plugin's input type
791 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the BadCursor error in the x11 and xvideo
792 plugins. For real this time (unlike my 2001/08/03 fix :p).
793 * ./plugins/filter/wall.c: made the wall filter work a bit better. It now
794 spawns a 3x2 mosaic, but this will eventually be configurable, Ã la
796 * ./plugins/arts/arts.c: fixed the aRts audio output plugin.
797 * ./configure.in: removed duplicate function checks.
798 * ./Makefile.modules: added extra magic so that the module Makefiles are now
799 ridiculously simple. And I mean *simple*. Check it! This will make a
800 possible switch to full autoconf/automake a lot easier.
801 * ./include/modules_inner.h: added the vlc version name to the plugin
802 symbols, to be sure we only load plugins with the same version number. A
803 nasty consequence is that you need to rebuild your tree after midnight if
804 you are using a CVS tree :-)
805 * ./include/modules_export.h: got rid of modules_export.h by #defining
806 exported functions in the same header as their prototype.
807 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: added modules_inner.h and other commonly used .h
808 files to common.h so there are less and less files to include, and renamed
809 common.h to <videolan/vlc.h>.
810 * ./src/misc/tests.c: first modifications to the module handling system
811 towards my ultimate goal to get rid of the *_Probe functions. Got rid of
812 TestMethod and TestCPU, as well as src/misc/tests.c.
813 * ./plugins/chroma/yv12_rgb8.c, ./plugins/chroma/yv12_rgb16.c: wrote the
814 chroma plugin handling functions. No YUV functions have been ported yet
815 because it'ls a lot of work, but the core system works, I tried it with a
816 naive yv12->rgb16 plugin (which will disappear when the real functions are
818 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c: made a lot of functions one-liners to avoid
819 wasting too many output lines.
820 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: fixed a segfault in DVDInit.
821 * ./plugins/gtk/fixfiles.sh: Added a fixfiles.sh script to be run after Glade
822 has generated its C files.
823 * ./plugins/kde/*: did some work on the KDE interface to make it suck a bit
824 less. It still segfaults, but at least it runs and it looks less ugly.
825 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: RGB SDL rendering works again, though in 16bpp
827 * ./plugins/vcd/linux_cdrom_tools.c: made this file independent of any vlc
828 structure so that it'll be easily put in a library. Maybe libdvdcss?
829 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed VCD date display.
830 * ./plugins/x11/*: merged vout_xvideo.c, vout_x11.c and vout_common.c into
832 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: wrote non-Shm XVideo output.
833 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: made X11 output work again. Still pretty unstable,
834 only works for 16bpp.
835 * ./po/fr.po: additional french translation. Any taker for the rest?
836 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault when the allocated
837 pictures were not direct buffers.
838 * ./share/*: replaced 48x48 .xpm images with 32x32 ones to conform to Debian
839 policy (Closes Debian bug #126939).
840 * ./Makefile: removed the automatic ./configure launch when running
841 `make all' for the first time.
842 * ./plugins/filter/distort.c: --filter distort:ripple (Ok, ok, I promise it's
844 * ./configure.in: fixed compilation with dvdcss disabled.
845 * ./configure.in: fixed compilation with plugins disabled.
846 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: removed useless
847 variables in the VCD and DVD plugins.
848 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed a function which was returning
849 "struct foo" in the VCD plugin.
850 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the old « XVideo eats more and more CPU »
851 bug I mistakenly reintroduced in my first vout4 commit.
852 * ./src/misc/modules: we now stop at the first ':' when looking for a module
853 name, to easily pass information to the modules. Possible example:
854 --vout sdl:software, implementation of such an option is left as an
856 * ./plugins/filter/filter.c: merged filter_bob and filter_bob422 into
857 filter_bob. Use --filter bob to deinterlace 422 into 420 as well.
858 * ALL: factorized code common to most filters and the video output, optimized
859 a few filters by aligning data and reading 64 bits at a time.
860 * ./plugins/filter/transform.c, ./plugins/filter/distort.c: two new
861 absolutely useless, CPU-eating, resource-wasting, but fun filters: enjoy
862 `transform', which performs flips and 90° rotations, and `distort', which
863 performs animated image effects (currently only a naive sine wave is
864 implemented). Usage examples: --filter transform:hflip,
865 --filter transform:vflip, --filter transform:90, --filter transform:180,
866 --filter transform:270, --filter distort:wave.
867 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: added missing XSync() in the XVideo plugin.
868 * ./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: pathetic attempt at a 4:2:2 renderer and
869 deinterlacer, combining the most awful line dropping techniques of both BOB
870 and 422 to 420 downscaling. Don't worry, it should only survive for a
872 * ./plugins/filter/wall.c: new stupid plugin: "--filter wall" for split-image
873 playback :-) (will evolve into a real image wall plugin when I have time)
874 * ./plugins/filter/bob.c, ./plugins/filter/invert.c: filter plugins. Not very
875 polished (please don't look at how the dates are calculated!), but worth a
876 try. Use the following flags: "--filter invert" for inverse video,
877 "--filter bob" for BOB deinterlacing
878 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: buffer choice optimizations - vout4
879 should eat even less CPU now.
880 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed aspect ratio handling.
881 * ./src/interface/main.c: additional fixes for OSes with no gettext (thanks
883 * ./configure.in: don't try to use gettext if we don't have GNU gettext. This
884 may change in the future though (most GNU software seems to include a local
885 copy of gettext in case the operating system doesn't provide it).
886 * ./debian/rules, ./debian/control: added vlc-arts to the debian package
888 * ./po/ru.po: (very old) russian translation courtesy of Valek Filippov
890 * ./po/fr.po: fixed a charset issue in the french translation.
891 * ./config.guess, ./config.sub: updated these files from GNU's latest
893 * ./po/vlc.pot: added vlc.pot skeleton for translators.
894 * ./src/interface/intf_channels.c, ./include/keystrokes.h: removed unused
896 * ./include/common.h: put common_win32.h back into common.h -- it wasn't that
897 big and we should not multiply header files.
898 * ./src/interface/main.c: added gettext support by Thomas Graf
899 <reeler@reeler.org>, may be broken on other platforms but we'll only see
900 it when I'm finished with vout 4 :-)
901 * ./src/video_output/*: new video output version 4, featuring direct to YUV
902 buffer decoding, non-ugly subtitle blending, XVideo and SDL video output.
903 * ./plugins/spudec/*: renamed spu_dec to spudec and mad_adec to mad to stay
904 coherent with other plugins. Also, renamed mpeg to mpeg_system.
905 * ./AUTHORS: added jobi.
906 * ./plugins/x11/vout_common.c: voutFactored code common to vout_x11.c and
910 Mon, 31 Dec 2001 19:50:40 +0100

914 * Fixed a bug in DecoderError.
915 * Next Generation Buffer Manager.
916 * All decoders enter DecoderError() in case of error, even if they
917 haven't allocated all their data. This prevents the input from getting
918 stuck if a decoder has failed its initialization.
919 * Backported lool's fix for the Gtk+ playlist crash.
920 * If $DISPLAY isn't set, don't try to run the Gtk+ interface.

932 * Prevent two SDL video outputs or audio outputs to be spawned at the
933 same time to avoid ugly crashes.
934 * TS input: bugfix in DecodePAT and minor optimizations elsewhere.
935 * TS input: we now check that the contents of the PAT has changed
936 before updating it, instead of just relying on its version number.
937 * Disabled broken ALSA audio output. Closes Debian bugs #110869 and #119846.
938 * Fixed build dependencies on libasound2-dev. Closes Debian bug #121057.
939 * Changed configure.in so that libXv_pic is used instead of libXv.a when
940 available. Closes Debian bug #111790.

963 * Workaround for a bug in the GLIBC dlopen() code.
964 * Fixed win32 compilation.
965 * New libmad plug-in, courtesy of Jean-Paul Saman. We now have sound on
967 * Borrowed MPlayer's fast memcpy() routines. Best is autodetected, choose
968 "--memcpy <whatever>" to choose one from c, mmx, mmxext or 3dn.
969 * Added versioned build-dep to libasound2-dev (Closes Debian bug #121057).
970 * Updated Gtk/GNOME interfaces to use "udpstream" instead of "ts".
971 * More checks for GTK headers.
972 * Fixed a crash when pausing.
973 * Fixed numerous bugs in ES selection.

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

999 from 12 to 13 (due to change from ts:// to udpstream://)
1000 * Big clean-up to allow compiling every module as plugins.
1001 * Added bytes_swap.h to provide ntoh() and htol() on Win32. With this
1002 change we don't have to link winsock2 with every plugin anymore. This
1003 should also give us a slight speed increase.

1018 * The network window of the interface reports the values of the environment
1020 * Channels mode excludes vls configuration.
1021 * The vlc does not try to bind vls.via.ecp.fr by default when you select
1023 * Fixed MacOS X 10.1 network input, thanks to Mathias Kretschmer
1024 <mathias@research.att.com>.

1034 * Fixed heap corruption issues in ac3dec (thanks reno).
1035 * Fixed a crash when using `--input dvd /dev/dvd' instead of `dvd:/dev/dvd'.
1036 * configure should no longer assume AltiVec is supported when it actually
1037 isn't with buggy compilers and/or pre-set $CFLAGS.
1038 * Commited my little release-howto (only useful to core vlc developers).
1039 * Closing Debian bug #119369 which was fixed a while ago.

1049 * Disabled DirectX audio output for the time being.
1050 * Added Oct's NSIS installer script. It will probably not work for you,
1051 but I need it to build the Win32 auto installer.
1052 * Automatic handling of the Channel Server's response in network mode.
1053 * GetMACAddress takes the interface defined in the environment variable
1054 vlc_iface instead of eth0.
1055 * Fixed bug with MPEG audio in TS streams.
1056 * Fixed compilation (and quite probably runtime) issues under IA64
1057 due to mixed int/void* casts.

1070 * Corrected à long time bug (around 0.2.81 I think), that created a
1071 corruption in ifo data. This was the reason why some DVDs that worked with
1072 0.2.80 no longer worked with newer version of vlc. They should work again
1074 * New --enable-release config option.
1075 * Removed deprecated code and structures.

1157 * HTTP input support.
1158 * Borrowed Mandrakesoft's vlc.spec and libdvdcss.spec.

1218 * Added warning messages.
1219 * Fixed build dependencies for architectures not supporting libasound2
1220 (Closes Debian bug #109722).
1221 * Install doesn't explode if libdvdcss hasn't been compiled.
1222 * Attempt to fix the SDL detection under *BSD.
1223 * Removed /usr/local/include, because it is unsafe in a cross-compilation
1225 * The win32 port is once again using msvcrt.dll instead of msvcrt40.dll.
1226 * Fixed a synchro bug (typo) in video_output.c.
1227 * Added documentation to use VLC as a netscape plug-in and do some
1228 (buggy) web streaming.
1229 * Totally rewrote the video decoder (inspired by walken's mpeg2dec),
1230 implying - performance boost ; - fixed the "Dual Prime Arithmetic" bug ;
1231 - 3DNow! motion compensation module.
1232 * AC3dec statistics do not show up with --enable-stats, because I doubt
1233 they're understandable by a normal human being, and they pollute the output.
1234 * Minor changes to the (non-working) ncurses interface.
1235 * Fixed a packet leak in DemuxPSI.
1236 * Added gnome.h check and cleaned the error messages in the configure script.

1247 * Additional checks for SSE-specific (non-MMXEXT) instructions, as
1248 reported in lucky.openbsd.misc.
1249 * GNU/Hurd configuration and compilation fixes.
1250 * Fixed a crash in subtitle rendering.
1251 * Activated old crappy subtitle rendering in overlay mode (ugly but
1252 probably better than having no subtitles at all).
1253 * Added proper Conflicts: rules in debian/control.
1254 * configure.in fixes for BSD/OS.
1255 * Added vlc:loop playlist command to go back at the beginning.
1256 Usage: vlc file1.mpeg file2.mpeg ... fileN.mpeg vlc:loop
1257 * Fixed a bug in the gtk interface which caused vlc to go amok after
1258 having met a zero-sized area.

1264 * Got Makefile to launch ./configure almost properly. $(MAKECMDGOALS) rules !
1265 * Various debian scripts fixes.
1266 * Added -lmsvcrt40 to the win32 flags for proper execution under Wine.

1273 * Removed the "make all" kludge in the Makefile.opts rule. I hope this
1274 patch is harmless on all systems.
1275 * Added a dummy libdvdcss so that the DVD plugin can be used without
1276 libdvdcss. It will try to dlopen() libdvdcss at runtime, though,
1277 and will use the dummy functions only if it couldn't find a valid
1278 libdvdcss. This is probably only useful to package maintainers.
1279 * Made the remote command plugin usable even with no stream.
1280 * Fixed a deadlock in the remote command plugin.
1281 * Fixed a deadlock in the SPU decoder.
1282 * Minor bug fix to aout_directx.c.

1291 * Fixed a segfault in PSEnd in input_ps.c.
1292 * The video decoder thread is now also reniced to a lower priority on
1293 Win32 (like in the Linux version). This slightly increases the
1294 responsiveness of vlc.
1295 * Modified input_dvd so you can now go directly to the selected chapter
1296 when you change the title.
1297 * Implemented the Probe function in the Xvideo plugin. Xvideo is now the
1298 default video output plugin when it is supported.

1322 * Now using gcc -pipe.
1323 * (Hopefully) fixed the #@!$ field pictures bug.
1324 * Fixed the MMX YUV plugin issues with gcc 2.96 and 3.0.
1325 * Updated TODO, cosmetic changes.
1326 * Now use sdl-config for SDL.
1327 * Fixed a stupid bug in buffer management with field pictures.

1357 to 44100-48000 Hz conversions.
1358 * The Win32 GetMessage function has been isolated in a thread. This has
1359 been done because this function can block the thread. Thanks to this

1377 * Additional error checking in vout_sdl.c.
1378 * Minor manpage fix, conforming to Debian policy version 3.5.5.0
1379 (Closes Debian bug #99561).
1380 * Portablility fix: We now control the name to be used in the assembler
1381 code for a C function or variable.
1382 * Reenabled all the accelerated modules on Win32.
1383 * Bugfix for chapters change in DVD.
1384 * A few bug fixes for the directx plugin.
1385 * Removed the custom usleep function for win32 as we don't really need
1386 this accuracy, and it was eating cpu resources.
1387 * Elementary Stream input plugin (use it with --input es). Only works with
1388 video streams at the moment.
1389 * Added command line option '--stdout <filename>' which redirects stdout
1390 and stderr to the specified file. This option should mainly be useful

1406 * DirectX enhancements by Gildas Bazin, such as software rendering.
1407 * Another failed attempt at profiling vlc under Linux: ported the
1408 threads API to GNU Pth. Activate with --enable-pth. It doesn't seem to
1409 spawn new threads for me, maybe someone will have better luck.
1410 * Makefile optimizations.
1411 * Automatic build of libdvdcss if not found.
1412 * The DVD netlist no longer stops when the fifo is empty ; it just waits
1413 until there are free vectors again.
1414 * Exported the CSS part of the dvd plugin into a library. See
1415 ChangeLog.libdvdcss for a separate changelog.

1422 AC3 (ugly). It allows a vlc launched in spdif mode to play mpeg or lpcm
1424 * Cleaned the title property messages to get rid of the ugly stars.
1425 * Added LPCM support. It should work with stereo LPCM.
1426 * Fixed a warning when compiling main.c.
1427 * Checked that OS supports SSE instructions on PIIIs (to avoid illegal
1428 hardware instructions on Linux 2.2.x).
1429 * Fixed a bug in synchro reinitialization: we no longer have a shift each
1430 time we restart the synchro (for SCR discontinuity for instance)
1431 * In DVD mode, we reinit the synchro only if the SCR are not continuous
1432 (instead of each cell).
1433 * Tried to improve AC3 spdif to prevent desynchronization.
1434 * Lots of DirectX plugin fixes by Gildas Bazin.
1435 * Compilation fix in message queue mode.

1645 app (ie., double clicked and not launched from command line).
1646 * Cleaned up debug spew left in modules.c and video_text.c.
1647 * Created macosx_common.h in plugins/macosx/ to hold common stuff.

1650 * Fixed icons location and Debian desktop menus.
1651 * Fixed a memory leak in gtk_callbacks.c (thanks to Dae).
1652 * Disabled message queue by default.
1653 * A few other changes in the CSS code, the BeOS issues should be fixed.
1654 * Corrected an awful typo in the version name.
1655 * Removed deprecated stuff from config.h.
1656 * Fixed the whitespace/tab issues in the Makefile.

1659 * SDL: keys F1 to F10 change channel.
1660 * Ported the 0.2.0's channel changing functions.
1661 * Fixed the lock segfault bug with some compilers.
1664 Sat, 7 Apr 2001 05:52:00 +0200
1666 * Fixed headers for FreeBSD compilation.
1667 * Fixed debian/rules for non-x86 packages (Closes: Debian bug #88583).
1668 * Deleted BBitmap[0] directly after overlay creation as no longer needed
1669 as overlay now owns Bits()
1670 * Fixed MPEG-1 mux_rate parsing.
1671 * Fixed MPEG-1 stuffing.
1672 * Don't create BBitmap drawing thread if using overlays
1673 * Changes to BeOS interface with file selection support

1690 * Qt interface: somebody pop up us the menu!!
1691 * Fixed Debian sparc build for real (Closes: Debian bug #89285).
1692 * vlc core compiles under QNX RTOS. Now if anyone feels like tidying
1693 it and writing output and interface plugins...
1694 * Split audio output into several separate files to make it easier
1695 to debug. Removed a few redundancies as well.
1696 * Support for Darwin CoreAudio, courtesy of Colin Delacroix [MacOS X port] ;
1697 * Added warnings for ac3 mantissa (we still have problems with AC3 on
1699 * Renamed WriteResource to avoid a namespace clash with Darwin's

1716 * XVideo plugin courtesy of Shane Harper <shanegh@optusnet.com.au>
1717 * Makefile.in and configure.in fixes by Nilmoni Deb <ndeb@ece.cmu.edu>
1718 * A few syntax fixes in the plain X11 plugin
1719 * Various bug fixes in dvd_netlist. Some bugs seem to remain though.
1720 * New function input_ToggleES for interaction with interface.
1721 * Changes in gnome interface : navigation menus are now splited, there
1722 are radio item in menus and the code should be better.
1723 * First step for dvd_ifo rewritting. Now allocation/disallocation is
1724 being done as it has to be.
1725 * Fixed a bug in title management that make dvd like Seven work.
1726 * vout_beos now uses double buffering for YCbCr overlay.
1727 This (for some reason) improves audio/video sync

1730 dependent code in dvd_ioctl.c
1731 * Added almost fully-functional /dev/dvd driver for MacOS X in
1733 * Fall back to one-packet-once reading in dvd input since multi-block
1734 seems to have a bug that make the vlc crash on title/audio/spu change. I
1735 hope that this bug will be fixed soon for the performance is poorer now
1736 * Add-ons and changes in gnome interface:
1737 o menu subdivision is done only if there are over 20 items,
1738 o in DVD mode next/prev apply to title,
1739 o in DVD mode, added a box with button to navigate through chapters.
1740 * Additional enhancements to the OS X DVD ioctl module
1741 * Big cleaning of the BeOS DVD ioctl code, got rid of all Linuxisms
1742 * Compilation fixes for the BeOS DVD ioctls
1743 * XVideo plugin enhancements by Shane Harper <shanegh@optusnet.com.au>
1744 * Added the GNU getopt library, which gets compiled in when getopt_long
1745 isn't available on the desired platform.
1746 * Replaced the `--warning' flag with the standard cumulative `-v' flag.
1747 `-v' is like `--warning 3', and `-vvvv' is like `--warning 0'
1748 (`--warning' is still valid for those used to it)
1749 * Cleaning in configure.in and Makefile.in, the Solaris port now
1750 builds and runs properly.
1751 * Code cleanup: removed a few tabulations.
1752 * Fixed inline asm routines to remove all read/write operands.
1753 * Added <string.h> to most files to prevent warnings under FreeBSD.

1759 * Disable x11 plugin if X11 headers are not found.
1760 * Misc fixes in the DVD input.
1761 * Fixed CSS authentication under Linux.
1762 * Playlist now refreshes when a file is opened.
1763 * XVideo plugin background is now black instead of white.
1766 Mon, 5 Mar 2001 00:41:16 +0100
1768 * Got rid of the CONTRIBUTORS list, and switched AUTHORS to a
1769 linux-kernel like author list.
1770 * Updated TODO list.
1771 * Fixed a segfault in the BeOS interface when --noaudio was specified.
1772 * Title and Chapter selection in the Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces.
1773 * Fixed a bug in audio selection
1774 * Tried to fix an issue in size computing.
1775 * Commited BeOS changes by Richard Shepherd and Tony Castley.
1776 * Added boolean_t b_YCbr to vout_thread_s structure to flag YUV-YCbCr
1777 decoding needed instead of YUV-RGB
1778 * Will be removed later when video_output.c rewritten
1779 * vout_CreateThread() initialises b_YCbr to zero
1780 * New BeOS video plugin that supports hardware overlays and new
1781 MediaPlayer compatible interface
1782 * Added YUV-YCbCr transforms
1783 * Fixed bugs in title/chapter handling once more, especially for size
1784 detection and location of main movie.
1785 * Support for multitrack DVD : now the stream is given to input as it has
1786 to be ; however, all the tracks are displayed one after the other ; I
1787 think we need to decode navigation ES to choose the track
1788 * Fixed behaviour at end of device.
1789 * Added DVD/VCD button and menu for quick DVD device selection to the
1790 Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces, so that vlc can play a DVD even when
1791 launched from a GUI.
1792 * Added debian/* files to help generating CSS-enabled non-US packages,
1793 and changed plugins/dvd/* to reflect this change.
1794 * Added .xpm icons (fixes lintian warnings).
1795 * --help output and manpage are now in sync (Closes Debian bug #87478).
1796 * Fixed Build-dpends entry in debian/control (Closes Debian bug #83707).
1797 * Completely changed title and chapter initialization. Now we have real
1799 * Fixed size for a majority of DVD.
1800 * More consistency in the p_input->stream management.
1801 * Made input_SelectES() and input_UnselectES() not block the input thread
1803 * Changed debian/control to fix Debian bug #83707
1804 * Added a --disable-css configure option
1805 * Moved some code here and there in the DVD plugin to make it easier
1806 for me to build the Debian CSS-free packages.
1807 * Fixed miscellaneous alignment problems (alpha/sparc ports) ;
1808 * Added a fps display when toggling 'i' ;
1809 * Fixed a bug in the video parser where one picture buffer was not
1810 released at quit time ;
1811 * Broke the mux_rate calculation, but hey guys ! it was already broken and
1813 * New function for DVD reading, that is able to read multiple blocks
1814 (I've chosen 32 now), that doesn't use any memcpy anymore and is also much
1815 faster. It is ready now for cell positioning in multi-angle DVD (to come
1817 * DVD specific netlist adapted to 2048 bytes long blocks that contain
1818 several data_packets.
1819 * Modification in mpeg_system.c to use p_payload_start instead of
1820 p_buffer (necessary for DVD plugin). It does not break other plugins
1821 since they set p_payload_start to p_buffer
1822 * New field i_read_once in input_thread_s to be able to read more than
1823 the TS related 7 packets ; i_read_once is set to INPUT_READ_ONCE by
1824 defaults but plugins can change it during initialisation.
1825 * Bug fix with frequential downmix
1826 * Additional optimizations to the subtitle decoder
1827 * The GGI video output should now be faster. Also, right-mouse-clicking
1828 works in GGI mode as well.
1829 * Optimizations done to the SPU decoder. Now the RLE is expanded at
1830 decoding time, not rendering time. The main loop in vout_RenderSPU
1831 is now 20 lines long.
1832 * The Gtk+ interface is now built as a Debian package as well. The Gnome
1833 package depends on it because of the icon and menu entry.
1834 * Added an intf_WarnHexDump() function to do raw hexadecimal dumps of
1835 memory areas. For debugging purposes or for real men, as you wish.
1836 * Lots of tidying in dvd_ioctl.c, a few comments added.
1837 * Better error handling in the subpicture decoder.
1838 * Tidied video_spu.c. More to come later.
1839 * Fixed subtitle displaying. Will soon work in overlay mode as well.
1840 * Disabled slice-level resynchro since it's probably buggy.
1841 * Fixed a structural major bug in the macroblock structure management.
1842 * Added debug messages.
1843 * Fixed a compile problem in debug mode.
1844 * Added functions and hooks to display dates instead of off_t.
1845 * Added a 'd' keystroke to dump the stream contents (for debugging
1847 * New ES detection based on .ifo for DVD module. It might fail (I have
1848 found one DVD for which ifo seems false).
1849 * Title and chapter selection on the command line (see -t and -T options)
1850 It will allow to watch some DVD that went through menus by default.
1851 * Beginning of menus in gnome interface.
1852 * Fix bug in ac3dec for mono streams
1853 * BeOS: new video output method, the vlc now uses BBitmap instead of
1854 BDirectWindow (better performances)
1855 * BeOS: added resizing
1856 * BeOS: added beta support for overlay
1857 * Added a plain Gtk+ port of the Gnome interface, for the gnome-impaired
1858 people. Gtk+ is now compiled by default, while Gnome isn't (you will
1859 have to add --enable-gnome when running configure)
1860 * Replaced -lcurses with -lncurses in configure.in.
1861 * Added DemuxPSI, DecodePAT and DecodePMT. Never tested which streams
1862 where PAT or PMT are splitted in more than one section.
1865 Fri, 2 Mar 2001 17:32:24 +0100
1867 * DVD plugin is still non-functional when you don't have DVD ioctls,
1868 but at least it compiles under BeOS as well.
1869 * Minor cosmetic changes here and there.
1870 * Added the BeOS code for vlc_mutex_destroy() and vlc_cond_destroy()
1871 * Minor optimizations in the video decoder.
1872 * Move ac3 globals variables into structures
1873 * Fixed a bash-ism in configure.in
1874 * Fixed a segfault in input.c when no input plugin was found for
1876 * Fixed a deadlock in the Gnome interface. Next time I'll initialize
1877 my mutexes, I promise.
1878 * Added Oct to the authors list in intf_gnome.glade :)
1879 * Second step in area management ; everything is in place now to have
1880 title handling; it is coming :)
1881 * Ported Glide and MGA plugins to the new module API. MGA never worked,
1882 so this didn't make it work better.
1883 * Started thinking about built-in modules, and added some code to
1884 make it easier eventually.
1885 * Added Oct in the AUTHORS file.
1886 * Fixed a mistake in configure.in.
1887 * All your base are belong to us.
1888 * Fixed a bug in src/misc/modules which prevented loading modules
1889 when launched from the Tracker.
1890 * Fixed a similar bug in src/video_output/video_text.c.
1891 * BeOS CSS support, thanks to Markus Kuespert <ltlBeBoy@beosmail.com>
1892 who ported the Linux DVD ioctls. We can now read encrypted DVDs
1893 under BeOS ! Woohoo.
1894 * First serie of changes in DVD module for the forthcoming interface menus.
1895 There is a new capability in input type modules for setting the
1896 attributes of a new area. It is set to NULL for PS and TS plugins.
1897 It should be called for every title change, chapter change,
1898 audio mode change or spu channel change.
1899 * Kludge of the kludge, removing an oddity in YUV initialisation, and
1900 activating YUV overlay on startup whenever hardware acceleration is
1901 available. Thanks for bearing with us, stay tuned.
1903 * Changed video decoder's error messages into warnings.
1905 * Drag and drop support under BeOS.
1906 * Change in the code to detect beginning of movie. It is much better now
1907 but still fails with some DVD for which the movie is not the first
1909 * Beginning of ideas to handle chapters and ES selection
1910 * configure.in and Makefile.in patches for better SDL support and
1911 support for $(bindir) $(datadir) and $(libdir) stuff, courtesy
1912 of Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <misiek@pld.ORG.PL>
1913 * Ported ggi.so to the new modules API. As for the other modules, only
1914 the "q" key works. Moreover, VLC doesn't exit cleanly if you close the
1916 * Deactivated non-working widgets in the Gnome interface.
1917 * Added CONTRIBUTORS file.
1918 * Ported the framebuffer plugin to the new module API. As for most of the
1919 other video output modules, keyboard doesn't work. Except ^C to quit.
1920 * UDF filesystem support so that we know the location of the first video
1921 related file with 100% reliability (great change that should make DVDs
1922 with binaries and extra stuff work with vlc).
1923 * Correction of a bug in ifo reading that falsified the adress of
1925 * Changed the method for selecting title at start. It is _not_ reliable
1926 though, but it is better than the preceding one.
1927 * Tried to fix the BeOS interface and video output. Any BeOS developers
1928 listening ? I can't even test that code, it probably wants additional
1930 * Added a workaround in modules.c for broken libc's which happen to truncate
1931 filenames in dentry structures when using 64bits offsets. The kind of
1932 stuff you only see in RedHats <g>.
1933 * Made the SDL error messages a bit more useful.
1934 * The Gnome menu is now created when mouse is released, not when it
1935 is pressed. It may sound stupid, but it really makes a difference.
1938 Fri, 16 Feb 2001 08:09:59 +0100
1940 * Fixed package building (both RPMs and .debs).
1941 * Fixed `make snapshot' rule.
1942 * Added some magic to filename detection. To read a DVD you now just
1943 need to run 'vlc dvd:/dev/hdc' for instance. Same for file:// URIs.
1944 * Fixed a segfault in the slider when no stream was playing.
1945 * Made the slider go from 0 to 100 (instead of 99 :)
1946 * The vlc now doesn't exit when finished playing. As a side effect of
1947 the playlist code being very recent, it continuously loops.
1948 * Fixed a segfault in the input thread creation, as well as a possible
1949 deadlock. This happened mostly when opening non-existing files.
1950 * Created input_SetStatus to do input_SetRate's job. input_SetRate will
1951 be used to set an arbitrary rate, for people who want to read DVDs at
1952 1/2.71828 times the actual speed.
1953 * Stubs for the ncurses control interface. No working code yet, but the
1954 holes just need to be filled.
1955 * Improved X11 support. Still not as functional as before.
1956 * The output window now states the method name, so that people know whether
1957 they are using X11 or SDL.
1958 * The Gnome interface is now drag'n'drop aware, you can drop a file
1959 on it just like Xine does (or so I guess).
1960 * New more recent css authentication code.
1961 * Beginning of udf support (not in Makefile)
1962 * Removed useless includes in intf_gnome.c
1963 * Made the vout_sdl.c functions static
1964 * Ported vout_x11.c to the modules API; code isn't very nice yet though
1965 * X11 output works again. It's just the output, but it works; I now need
1966 to clean the code and add event handling.
1967 * Should have fixed the dependency generater for some plugins.
1970 Wed, 14 Feb 2001 08:33:46 +0100
1972 * Started porting the X11 vout (still disabled)
1973 * A few unnoticeable changes in the Gnome intf
1974 * Changes in the way stream size in DVD mode is calculated. It is no
1975 longer such an ugly kludge and is much more accurate.
1976 * Changes in DVDSeek so that the interface slider is in 0 when we are at
1977 the beginning of the strem.
1978 * Try to detect the beginning of the movie in the middle of the title. It
1979 works for most of the DVDs but will begin in the middle of the movie
1981 * Calculate only the first title key in css mode because it might take a
1982 long time with some title. The search stops now when we have a key once
1983 whereas it did stop only when we had it twice before. It should not
1985 * Really fixed MC segfault bug.
1986 * Adaptation of DVD module to navigation slider. The seek has to be
1987 done on a multiple of 2048, and shopuld take care of the offset to the
1988 beginning of the stream. It works with most of my DVDs by fails to
1989 detect size of some streams.
1990 * Change of the order of call to ifo and css functions in input_dvd.c,
1991 because we can't read ifo files before authentification on some DVDs.
1992 * Changed location of some css tables.
1993 * We read ifo date and decrypt css keys for all titles now. It takes quite a
1994 long time to initialize with some DVDs (if you have 42 titles for
1995 instance). The key decryption might give a false value if the title is
1996 less than 10 Mb ; I'm working on that :)
1997 * Quick patch to avoid a segfault when arbitrarily seeking the stream.
1998 * Added --intf option to vlc
1999 * Started cleaning vout_sdl.c
2000 * The dummy plugin works again
2001 * Added a slider to the Gnome interface so that we can browse through streams
2002 * Removed enhancement because of an incompatibility with slow motion.
2003 * We can now seek at position 0 :p ;
2004 * Tried to enhance picture dating on timebase discontinuities.
2006 * Much cleaning in css code. It should work fine now.
2007 * Fixed my old stupid bug that disabled sound after having played the
2008 first playlist item.
2009 * Added `Prev' and `Next' buttons to the interface, with the beginning of
2010 a playlist window (still empty).
2011 * Added `Slow' and `Fast' buttons to the interface and popup menu.
2012 * Removed tests against i_rate and i_new_rate calculation from the
2013 plugins and hid this complexity into input_ext-intf.c
2014 * The pure Gnome part of the Gnome interface has been rewritten from
2015 scratch, and the .glade file included as well. You can edit it by
2016 installing glade-gnome and doing `glade plugins/gnome/intf_gnome.glade',
2017 or directly by hand if you grok XML.
2018 * Files can now be loaded into vlc using the `Open' buttons. But for the
2019 moment you still have to launch vlc with at least one file, because it
2020 quits when the end of the playlist is reached.
2021 * Idle screen was disabled because it eats a lot of CPU and is mostly
2022 useless for the moment. And it gets activated when pause lasts for too
2024 * Plugins have completely disappeared, we now only use the new module API.
2025 * All intf and vout modules are now independant. So far, only the Gnome
2026 intf module and the SDL vout module have been ported. configure.in has
2027 been modified to reflect the changes (x11 and dummy aren't compiled by
2028 default anymore, while SDL and Gnome are).
2029 * Right-clicking on the SDL video output window brings the Gnome menu.
2030 * Pause, Play, Exit, About work from the menu or from the interface window.
2031 * The old SDL keys still work.
2032 * Fixed a bug in #define that prevented from using ioctls
2033 * Some functions to prepare ifo commands utilisation to move in the
2035 * Change in configure to avoid compiling css functions on BSD.
2036 * Added comments to src/interface/intf_plst.c and include/intf_plst.h
2037 so that people understand how the playlist works.
2038 * Updated the TODO list (34 items to do, 41 done !)
2039 * Portability : changed off64_t to off_t and activated appropriate
2041 * Changed fseek() to fseeko() for 64-bit offsets ;
2042 * Reset frame predictors on a stream discontinuity.
2043 * Implemented basic stream navigation function, and bound Jump forward
2044 and jump Backward in the SDL intf. Enjoy !
2045 * Pause function implemented ('p' key).
2046 * Fixed a compile probleme on machine without a dvd player :ppppp
2047 * Fixed two bugs in ifo and css that caused memory corruption and
2048 segfault when using sdl in dvd mode.
2049 * Moved the playlist handling from input/input.c to interface/interface.c
2050 * Fixed a few warnings at compile-time.
2051 * Fixed sound channel selection in playlist mode.
2052 * Added a color message in the plugin bank because on peut bien déconner
2053 cinq minutes, quand-même.
2054 * We now spawn a new input thread for each file.
2055 * Added a missing pf_close() because it's always cool to close files
2057 * Solved bug with cssdescrambling. The vlc might segfault with dvd
2058 plugins. I will fix that soon.
2059 * Minor modification in pluginification.
2060 * Playlist works again (still the old wrong way like Meuuh doesn't
2061 like, but this is going to change within a few hours)
2062 * Input_ps, input_ts and input_dvd are now plugins, located in
2063 plugins/mpeg/ and plugins/dvd/
2064 * Fast/slow keys are now A/Z instead of A/S since S was already
2065 linked to the scale/noscale toggle.
2066 * `--dvd' doesn't work anymore, for the moment try to use :
2067 vlc --input dvd /dev/dvd
2068 * Module bank is now less verbose ; use `--warn 1' to turn back
2070 * New method using netlist to read packets on DVD device by sectors of
2072 * Some modifications in netlist to make it work with DVD.
2073 * Fixed à bug in mpeg_system.c
2074 * We can now choose the speed of forward (between 32/1 and 1/8)
2075 * Functional fast forward and slow motion API ;
2076 * Dirty hack in the SDL intf to bind "a" (fAst forward), "s" (Slow motion)
2078 * Centralized clock management, preparing for stream navigation ;
2079 * Fixed a bug in the management of the first video PTS.
2080 * Fixed a bug in period calculation for progressive sequences.
2081 * Fixed a FIXME in SDL: p_vout->p_sys is no more used in intf_sdl.c
2082 * Used instead p_vout->i_changes like in x11
2083 * Disabled SDL parachute to let the vlc dump a core instead of staying stuck
2084 * Patched 2 debian bugs
2085 (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=vlc)
2086 * Improved the snapshot generation
2087 * Mouse pointer hidden/shown with middle button in SDL output
2088 * Removed obsolete video_yuv_mmx.S
2089 * Updated the TODO list and wrote a small todo.pl parser to make it
2090 easier to see which items remain to be done
2091 * `make snapshot' now creates vlc-*.tar.gz and vlc-*-nocss.tar.gz
2094 Wed, 31 Jan 2001 04:30:37 +0100
2096 * Version 0.2.50 for the Linux Expo
2097 * --overlay and --fulscreen options (only work with --vout sdl)
2098 * The vlc exits after the end of the stream, which prevents from having
2099 to kill it and relaunch it during a presentation.
2100 * Not a very nice hack, but will probably spare us a few user complaints: if
2101 no -a option is specified, the vlc will play the first audio type it finds,
2102 so there is no need to specify "-a ac3" for a DVD anymore.
2103 * CSS support kludged for current DVD input.
2104 It is very slow now but will be more adapted to the forthcoming DVD
2106 It should read the first title of many DVDs but has been tested with few.
2107 * Beginning of ifo commands to implement DVD navigation.
2108 * Fix for field pictures.
2109 * Hooks for fast forward and slow motion support.
2110 * Fixed backwards moves.
2111 * Tuned up optimizations.
2112 * Completely removed BIZARRE_OPTIMS.
2113 * Check for the needed headers for DVD ioctls
2114 * Some cleaning in the dvd authentification code
2115 * Various miscellaneous minor optimizations of the video parser.
2116 * Beginning of support for encrypted DVDs.
2117 * It only tests encryption and authenticates disc.
2118 * Really fixed GetChunk now.
2119 * 32-bit aligned bitstream (not that fast).
2120 * The motion compensation routines are now modules as well ; choose your
2121 implementation with `--motion motion', `--motion motionmmx' or
2122 `--motion motionmmxext'. Of course, the best implementation is chosen
2123 if you don't ask for any. There doesn't seem to be any performance hit
2124 due to the move to shared libs, which is a good thing. Please test
2125 actively if you have time, though.
2126 * Updated --help result, manpage, INSTALL document, and a few files.
2127 * Borrowed LiViD's MMX and MMX EXT IDCT. This might break things. Expect
2128 a performance increase.
2129 * Removed a few useless malloc() and unused variables in the audio SDL stuff
2130 * Prepared the work for built-in modules (not yet finished)
2131 * Small tweak in the copy handling, reduce CPU usage.
2132 * --aout sdl now works
2133 * Added SDL sound support. Sounds a bit laggy sometimes but my streams
2134 are ill. please try.
2135 * Modified configure.in and all that stuff. Re-run configure
2136 * SDL audio, video and interface are all part of the same .so now.
2137 * Removed YUV old files :->
2138 * Reverted something that wasn't supposed to go into the cvs :p
2139 * Removed -fargument-noalias-global which causes problems with as (???).
2140 * Borrowed livid's latest libmmx and MMXEXT MC. Not in the Makefile => to
2141 test it, replace vdec_motion_inner_mmx.c by vdec_motion_inner_mmxext.c.
2142 * A few changes in the CPU extensions detection code, borrowed from the
2143 kernel and from mpeg2dec. I still don't know how to detect if code
2144 compiled with -mcpu=pentiumpro will run, since the cpuid arcanes are
2145 quite obtuse to me. Perhaps we should also have a way not to load modules
2146 if they have been compiled with a different CPU to avoid segfaults.
2147 * Add check for MMX EXT extensions, which doesn't work, which is a good
2148 thing since there is no MMX EXT IDCT yet :)
2149 * Change for the forthcoming fast forward and slow motion support.
2150 * Fixed the --aout, --idct and --yuv flags
2151 * Updated manpage and --(long)help output to reflect that change
2152 * Removed a few unneeded #includes here and there
2153 * Cosmetic changes in error messages in input.c
2154 * Now use of 64 bits offsets to parse the whole DVD. So we have all the
2155 available information
2156 * Fixed a bug in parsing of VTS attributes
2157 * Fixed a bug in input.c that made input plugin initialize even though
2158 no stream is reachable (thanks Sam)
2159 * Merged the YUV plugins in the same directory to avoid too much code
2161 * YUV transformations now use the new module API ; now only the vout
2162 and interface still depend on the old plugin API
2163 * Changed TestMMX to TestCPU because we will be able to test for other
2164 specific extensions (3DNow, SSE) for the forthcoming IDCT we'll
2165 borrow to mpeg2dec (as usual :P)
2166 * Don't show "hiding module" messages anymore except in debug mode
2167 * Swapped C IDCT and Classic IDCT scores since the classic one seems
2168 to be faster ; anyway you should use the MMX one
2169 * Fixed a Makefile bug under BeOS
2170 * Tried to fix the cpuid code so that it compiles under BeOS (Polux, can
2171 you test it when you have time ?)
2172 * Fixed a bug in the frame rate handling ;
2173 * Fixed a bug in the DTS/PTS ordering. Our pts are _at last_ accurate.
2174 * Finally fixed repeat_first_field and co. (pas encore tout compris...)
2175 * Implemented video_parser bitstream callback for PTS/DTS.
2176 * Fixed close button support in SDL
2177 * Fixed --width and --height support in SDL
2178 * Fixed the bug-that-made-the-vlc-segfault-on-exit, which means that
2179 more than ever, « le client ne segfaulte pas ».
2180 * There was still a problem upon quitting: sometimes the null packet
2181 wasn't big enough to reach a decoder breakpoint, so I now create 10
2182 of them (since I can't make it bigger) to be sure. Meuuh, what do
2184 * Fixed the Makefile to spare a few variables here and there.
2185 * Reduced module hide delay, removed loading of the audio output
2186 plugins since they are now modules.
2187 * Changed a few intf_Msg to intf_DbgMsg, and added "vout:", "intf:",
2188 and so on in a few other messages.
2189 * Removed unused includes in the idct modules.
2190 * Correction of bugs in ifo parsing. Now the structures should be well
2191 initialized. It remains some segfaults but it globally works.
2192 * DVD mode is enabled with option --dvd. For the moment, it only read
2193 the first vts and find the movie if it is at the beginning of the title
2195 * Beginning of dvd_input. Parsing of ifo file almost completed.
2196 * The IDCT functions are now located in modules : the classic IDCT,
2197 our optimized IDCT, and MMX IDCT.
2198 * Cosmetic changes for modules (pf_* instead of p_*)
2199 * Fixes to the BeOS and dummy modules
2200 * Changed default values :
2201 INPUT_PTS_DELAY down to 200 ms ;
2202 video heap down from 10 to 5 pictures ;
2203 decoder fifo size from 1023 to 511 PES ;
2204 * Fixed various bugs in 32 bit-versions of input_ext-dec.h ;
2205 * Fixed a bug in GetChunk() ;
2206 * Renamed GetByte, GetWord, ShowWord to _GetByte, _GetWord, _ShowWord ;
2207 * Moved decoder_fifo-specific code from programs.c to dec.c ;
2208 * Fixed bugs in program.c that prevented vlc to close all decoders ;
2209 * Gave sam a lesson for the use of the bitstream in spu_decoder.c :ppp ;
2210 * Made the video parser unlock the reference pictures before quitting
2211 (still one left, yaknow why ?)
2212 * Destroy fifo mutex and cond variables _after_ they are used for
2213 the last time. henri, that'll be one binouze.
2214 * Attempt to port the BeOS audio plugin to the new module API. Will
2215 probably need a few fixes to work or even compile.
2216 * Ported the alsa plugin to the news vlc module API
2217 * Fixed 32 bits bitstream bugs.
2218 * Moved the MPEG audio decoder to the new bitstream
2219 * Cleaning in the SPU decoder.
2220 * Moved swab32 from input_ext-dec.h to common.h. We probably won't need
2221 it anymore really soon, since ntohl() and htonl() seem to be properly
2222 optimized when gcc is passed the right optimization flags.
2223 * Fixed GetBits32 and RemoveBits32. I know the #ifdefs are useless since
2224 we only support u32 words, but it's a safe reminder. Comments appreciated
2225 on this fix since I may have b0rked something -- it runs well here though.
2226 * Changed code for handling b_die in bitstream ;
2227 * Moved input_ext-dec.h to input.h ;
2228 * New input_NullPacket function ;
2229 * Fixed init bugs in input and vpar ;
2230 * Placed a callback to the decoder in the bitstream structure ;
2231 * Fixed a purify bug in input_ps.c ;
2232 * Added -mcpu=pentiumpro in the Makefile.
2233 * Complete commenting of modules_core.h and small modifications
2234 * Separated MODULE_CONFIG_START and ADD_WINDOW (Henri, beware)
2235 * Fixed a very, very old bug that caused namespace collision between
2236 plugins (Henri, beware: call your aout_getplugin function like this,
2237 not alsa_aout_getplugin)
2238 * Removed the Debian specific clean rules from the Makefile, since they
2239 are already handled by the debian/rules script.
2240 * Tidied a few compilation rules (-lfoo should always be at the end)
2241 * Added 8bits palette SDL support.
2242 * Fixed a warning under FreeBSD (dlerror() is a const char*, not a char*).
2243 * Made configure script look for the bswap assembly instruction (using
2244 AC_TRY_COMPILE makes sure the compiler will really accept it).
2245 * Fixed colors' bug (TODO: write a function in vout that recalculate colors
2247 * Cleaning of the fullscreen switch, still sucks but the surface is not
2248 reallocated and that's good (thanks to the magic function
2249 SDL_WM_ToggleFullScreen provided by sdl library :).
2250 * Added a missing mutex_unlock in video_output.c
2251 * Moved a mutex_destroy after the thread cancellation to prevent
2253 * Added a missing #ifdef in intf_msg.c which prevented compilation
2255 * Fixed a bug in the input that prevented to quit properly in certain
2256 cases (some ES were not deleted because their index was skipped when
2257 the former one was deleted, well Meuuh should know what I mean)
2258 * Cleaning of SDL Lock/Unlock Surface.
2259 * All plugins now compile with -fPIC.
2260 * Made the audio_output API a bit simpler.
2261 * Got rid of modules_config.h.
2262 * Fixed `make install' rule.
2263 * Fixed warnings in the MMX YUV compilation.
2264 * Probably fixed a bug in the input : pp_foo structures were free()d at
2265 the end, but this was useless since the last call to realloc() is
2266 equivalent to free(), and two consecutive calls to free() aren't a
2268 * We check that the version number match and that we don't already have
2269 a module by that name when loading a new module.
2270 * All public module_* functions now properly lock the module bank.
2271 * The audio_output now uses the new module API ; EsounD and DSP modules
2272 have been ported, which should be enough for Henri to port the ALSA one.
2273 * Added vlc_mutex_destroy and vlc_cond_destroy function, for pthreads.
2274 Used them before quitting, every lock and cond is destroyed
2275 * Checked the return value of malloc and realloc in input_programs
2276 * Fixed compilation pb under solaris 2.6
2277 * Should compile & run on Solaris with ./configure --disable-dsp
2279 * Removed most SYS_SOLARIS #ifdef's in favour of more generic tests
2280 * Updated example ./configure line in INSTALL file
2281 * Now we only load modules that end with ".so"
2282 * null module is compiled by default
2283 * Fixed initialization of payload_start and payload_end
2284 * --enable-sdl and some others are now --with-sdl[=name] to supply an
2285 optional library name ;
2286 * Deleted all unnecessary #include <sys/uio.h> ;
2287 * /usr/include is now searched when looking for libraries and headers.
2288 * src/misc/modules.c is in a workable state now.
2289 * Splitted modules.h into modules.h and modules_core.h to enable
2290 clean compilation of the Null Module.
2291 * Added the Null Module, the module that does nothing but that is going
2292 to be of great help for debugging my module code.
2293 * Plugins are now called modules, because we will be able to compile
2294 them either as a dynamic plugin, or within the program. And, more
2295 important, I can commit this without having to break the vlc :)
2297 * video_output.c : compute picture size even if b_need_render == 0;
2298 * Fixed a deadlock (the vout unlocked a mutex locked by another thread,
2299 grrrr, I'll kill someone) ;
2300 * Put config.h in front of others in audio_decoder.c.
2301 * Better display of the fps.
2302 * Removed i_iovec_start and i_iovec_end. Used i_data instead
2303 * Fixed THX Cimmarron bug (it was _not_ a synchro bug).
2304 * Fixed a bug in the DTS/PTS parsing ;
2305 * Fixed a bug in vpar_headers.c synchro handling introduced before ;
2306 * Enhanced synchro's handling of dates and frame structure changes.
2307 * Fixed a bug in the PSM decoder.
2308 * We now read the DTS (but we don't use it for the moment).
2309 NB : b_has_pts has disappeared for brevity reasons, use i_pts != 0 instead.
2310 * New synchro statistics and warnings.
2311 * Avoid calling SafeRead() with a null packet size.
2312 * Use of ptrdiff_t whenever necessary (IA-64 port) ;
2313 * Changed behaviour of preparsing code, faster startup ;
2314 * Fixed DecodePSM(), cannot test ;
2315 * Cleaned up ParsePES(), fixed a bug which could reject very small but
2317 * Fixed cosmetic bugs in vpar_synchro frame_rate display.
2318 * Changed subtitles palette.
2319 * SPU decoder now uses Meuuh's GetChunk() code.
2320 * Lots of cleaning in the SPU decoder.
2321 * Message queue is flushed before we spawn input.
2322 * Fixed so that it compiles with VDEC_SMP (no good sync yet though).
2323 * Using i_id instead of i_stream_id whenever possible ;
2324 * Fixed a bug in -c and -s options.
2325 * Fixed a compile pbm in debug mode (f34r d4 1-line fix)
2326 * Fixed AC3 and SPU PES reading (ph34r da one-byte patch)
2327 * Some 79 char wrap.
2328 * No need to add "\n" at the end of intf_*Msg() messages anymore.
2329 * Moved input_DecodePES() to input_dec.c ;
2330 * Fixed an segfault in input_programs.c ;
2331 * Added -fomit-frame-pointer optimization.
2332 * Fixed a *major* memory leak in the pre-parsing code. Hopefully it should
2334 * New decoder spawning API input_dec.c ;
2335 * Moved p_input->pp_es -> p_input->stream.pp_es and clean up of
2336 input_programs.c & co ;
2337 * Fixed memory leaks.
2338 * Moved video_decoder's headers from include/ to src/video_decoder.
2339 * Temporarily removed b&w kludge.
2340 * Splitted up p_method_data/p_plugin_data ;
2341 * Cleaned up input_ts.c, added it into the Makefile.
2342 * Fixed various memory leaks.
2343 * Removed all arbitrary limits on the number of elementary streams.
2344 * Removed b_die and b_error from all decoders (obsoleted by decoder_fifo_t).
2345 All decoders should now exit cleanly (if it's not the case, it should be
2346 referenced as a bug).
2347 * Fixed a bug which prevented the input to exit normally (non-selected
2348 ES in the pp_selected_es array).
2349 * Added netlist support.
2350 * Added U8_Mono audio output
2351 * Fixed "-a [ mpeg | ac3 | lpcm | off ]" option
2352 * Only pre-parse the first 32 MB of data.
2353 * Added -a, -c and -s options. (-a doesn't work but I will let the people
2354 who thought it would be cleaner to put config in environment variables
2355 correct what's wrong in my code).
2356 * Now we only try to open plugins which are existing files
2357 * Big cleanup of the PS input plugin ;
2358 * Fixed a bug in AC3 initialization ;
2359 * PS streams are now pre-parsed (this can take a while) if possible ;
2360 * Move #define from audio_output.h to config.h
2361 * Change vlan_server_ip to vishnou's ip (but vlans not working yet)
2362 * GetChunk() : reads n bytes from the elementary stream and places them
2363 in a big buffer (a gift for Sam).
2364 * Quantic start in fullscreen fixed.
2365 * Input-II now correctly handles private stream 1 (AC3, DVDSPU).
2366 * Split the audio decoder into adec_generic, adec_layer1 and adec_layer2
2368 * Added SDLYUV support,
2369 * Fixed the ratio/position problem in YUV,
2370 * We now display CPU usage statistics for each thread.
2371 * Additional fix for Layer 1 mono
2373 * Fixed audio syncword detection for mpeg 1 streams (hopefully)
2374 * Fixed Layer 2 Mono decoding.
2375 * Hardware YUV overlay (SDL) with real colors ;p It may suck for non
2377 * Removed vout code found in intf file to support fullscreen switching.
2378 Now only vout_SDL updates SDL data and intf only switch flags such as
2379 b_reopen_display and b_fullscreen in p_vout->p_sys.
2380 * Fixed a var name typo in input_programs.c which prevents vlc from
2381 compiling with --enable-debug option. (i_es_pid -> i_es_id :)
2382 * Autodetection of Overlay support
2383 * Fixed support for broken MPEG-1 files.
2384 * Cleaned up program and ES management by using input_programs.c whenever
2386 * Cleaned up decoder spawning.

2391 * Added pf_new_pes in plugins
2392 * Fix in the SCR parser for high values.
2393 * Fixed a bug with DVD's SCR (too close from the PTS).
2394 * Generation d'un makefile presque correct pour les vieilles versions de make
2395 Nettoyage: gestion des dependances pour les plugins, suppressions de pas
2396 mal de redondances, options de compilations coherentes, etc...
2397 * Code to manage es_descriptors and program_descriptors, from benny's
2399 * VLAN support modified.
2400 * We now correctly parse MPEG-1 SCR and there is no need to kludge to read
2401 the stream at the right pace.
2402 * Fixed a bug in the synchro with non-P5/B1 streams.
2403 * Support for MPEG-1 .mpg files.
2404 * Fixed a bug in the synchro with non-P5/B1 streams.

2429 * Minor changes in the Debian files.
2430 * Fixed fps display.
2431 * Fixed MPEG1 video decoding. We don't read MPEG 1 PS files for the
2433 * Fixed a 100% cpu usage bug, in the dummy aout.
2434 * Added a 'f' shortcut to switch between Windowed and Fullscreen
2436 * Added --broadcast option for network input.
2437 * Screen is now emptied when framebuffer output exits.
2438 * Totally new frame dropping algorithm.
2439 * Fixed a bug in video_ouput.c which trashed more late pictures than
2441 * Fixed the DEBUG mode in the Makefile.
2442 * Fixed a bug in mwait() which made us wait too long.
2443 * The video_decoder can now be split into several threads to take

2447 * Added alsa audio support (plugin)
2448 * vlc is now compiled without the STATS mode by default.
2449 * Fixed a bug which made frames go backwards with some displays (the
2450 video_decoder thread is now niced).
2451 * Added intf_WarnMsg(), and made use of it in the most needed places.
2454 Mon, 28 Aug 2000 02:34:18 +0200
2456 * fixed the support for field pictures, which involved a few dozens
2457 bugs in the video parser and video decoder.
2458 * put names of authors under a lot of source files, for historical
2460 * fixed another input_file exit bug for the beos version.
2461 * fixed the aliases install.
2462 * renamed an inconsistent variable in src/input/input_file.c.

2466 * fixed a motion compensation bug for skipped macroblocks.
2467 * fixed a synchro bug for field images.
2468 * cleaned Octplane's crappy indentation.

2499 * removed an unused variable in the MMX YUVs.
2500 * fixed 32bpp MMX YUV, made the comments clearer, removed an emms.
2501 * now scaling is on by default, so that people won't tell that the vlc
2502 cannot do scaling :-)
2503 * fixed a few long lines.
2505 * fixed the fscked up Bresenham algorithm in all YUV functions.

2509 * separate Debian packages.
2510 * added request for ALSA support in the TODO list.
