12 * ./plugins/access/http.c: fixed HTTP input under Win32
13 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.h: bugfix for the I420 to YUY2 MMX chroma
14 transformations, with the help of Pascal Levesque.
15 * ./plugins/directx/directx.c: UnregisterClass() in MODULE_DEACTIVATE. If
16 we don't do this, trying to use the class when the plugin is reloaded will
18 * win32: replaced TUpDown components by TCSpinEdit ones, which allow
19 values greater than 32767. It fixes the audio bug ocurring when a
20 configuration file is saved under the win32 interface
21 * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: Added some extra space between
22 statusbar and toolbar when nothing is displayed.
23 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: on win32 the logger interface shows up a dos
25 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c: fixed uninitialized variable
26 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: simplified GtkRebuildCList()
27 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: changes to reduce segfaults on exit,
28 and also allow only one Playlist window.
29 * ./include/modules_inner.h: fixed a crash when reopening a hidden
31 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: on Win32 the DVD access plugin has to be
32 explicitly requested. This avoids crashes when the input thread tries
33 to open files as dvds.
34 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: fixed a side-effect bug causing crashes
36 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.c: margin support for the 420 planar to 422
37 packed chroma transformations.
38 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed a bug with the input remaining stuck when no
39 network data was present.
40 * win32: fixed a stupid bug in the Network dialog.
41 * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a little memleak.
42 * ./src/input/input_dec.c: removed useless code.
43 * ./src/input/input.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: fixed access to uninitialized
45 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_demux.c: fixed the pf_demux return value.
46 * ./configure.in: tried to fix the -lavcodec detection.
47 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed x11 and xvideo alternate fullscreen.
48 * ./plugins/network/ipv6.c: experimental support for Windows IPv6
49 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: added an option to disable the dynamic range
51 * ./Makefile.opts.in: removed configuration stuff which does not need to
52 rebuild anything to Makefile.config, so that editing it will not cause
54 * ./plugins/beos/VideoWindow.h, ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: improved
55 Overlay and Bitmap output modes.
56 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.m, ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.m: removed
58 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_controller.[mh]: you can now drag & drop files onto
59 the vlc dock icon. CFBundleDocumentTypes in Info.plist doesn't seem to have
60 any effect, so you'll have to hold down command-option when dropping until
62 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: removed previous patch to the video
63 output since it causes problems for some people.
64 * ./plugins/macosx/*: worked around a bug in seeking.
65 * ./include/threads_func.h: OS X port now uses real-time threads.
66 * ./configure.in: fixes for ffmpeg and mad.
67 * ./extras/MacOSX/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib/objects.nib: OS X intf
68 is now more consistent with Apple guidelines.
69 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: fixed a segfault I introduced lately in
71 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_vlc_wrapper.m: don't try to eject unless there is
73 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_vlc_wrapper.m: fixed a segfault in the Mac OS X
75 * ./plugins/satellite/input_satellite.c: cosmetic changes in error messages.
76 * ./plugins/gtk/*: gtk and gnome interfaces now use frequency and symbol
78 * ./BUGS: removed fixed entries.
79 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: initialize p_spudec->p_vout to NULL to
80 prevent segfaults if InitThread does not complete.
81 * ./plugins/text/rc.c: on win32 the rc plugin opens a new console.
82 * ./plugins/filters/*: filters were using memalign but freeing p_data instead
84 * ./extras/Win32_msvc/vlc.dsp: updated MSVC++ project.
85 * ./src/interface/main.c: small corrections to the LONGTEXT descriptions in
87 * ./AUTHORS: a few additions.
88 * ./vlc.spec: updates, courtesy of Yves Duret <yves.duret@mandrakesoft.com>.
89 * ./configure.in: new --with-ffmpeg option for standard installations.
90 * ./src/interface/main.c: updated long descriptions.
91 * ./plugins/dummy/intf_dummy.c: on win32 the dummy interface plugin will
92 open a dos command box. With this fix, vlc should never fail silently and
93 leave a ghost process running in the background when there isn't any
95 * ./include/config.h: on win32 DVD/VCD_DEVICE defaults to to D:.
96 * ./src/interface/main.c: added a few *_LONGTEXT descriptions.
97 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/video_parser.c: moved the mpeg-motion and mpeg-idct
98 options to the mpeg_vdec plugin.
99 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: mark subpictures destroyed when we end
101 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c: desperate attempt to improve audio output.
102 * ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml, ./doc/vlc.1, ./README.MacOSX.rtf: updated
104 * ./INSTALL.win32: updated INSTALL.win32.
105 * ./plguins/directx/vout_directx.c, ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: a little
106 bit of clean-up in the directx video output plugin
107 * ./plugins/macosx/*: fixed Mac OS X resizing.
108 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: warning levels are no longer additive, patch
109 courtesy of Arnaud de Bossoreille de Ribou <bozo@via.ecp.fr>.
110 * ALL: changed __inline__ with inline (autoconf does the job for us anyway,
111 and mipspro doesn't know about __inline__).
112 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c, ./src/audio_output/aout_ext-dec.c: fixed
113 deadlock in NextFrame() in aout_pcm.c.
114 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c, ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed
115 a bug in the directx window creation function. We register a window
116 class once per process so we must be careful not to free the associated
118 * ./extras/Win32_msvc/vlc.dsp: updated the MSVC++ project files and added
119 support for dirent (vlc compiled with msvc can now load plugins - even
120 compiled with mingw).
121 * ALL: small portability fixes.
122 * ./plugins/macosx/*: menu item to maximize the volume in Mac OS X.
123 * ALL: dropped dependancy on autoconf 2.52.
124 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: modified the directx video plugin to try
125 to create an YUV surface before falling back to an RGB surface when it's
126 not possible to use overlays. Some graphic cards can do the YUV->RGB
127 conversion in hardware during the blitting stage.
128 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: in the directx video plugin, we now
129 request that the RGB surface be created in video memory. The reasoning
130 behind this is that usually surfaces in video memory benefit from more
131 hardware acceleration (like for instance hw rescaling, hw blitting, etc.).
132 * ./plugins/directx/directx.c: added two options to the directx video plugin
133 to disable the above features (mainly because my video driver is buggy and
134 doesn't handle them well).
135 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: small cosmetic changes to the generation of
137 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fix for config_GetHomeDir() on win32.
138 SHGetFolderPath() is located in shfolder.dll not shell32.dll.
139 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: fix for the gtk preferences dialog box. To
140 be sure that an int or float value is actually changed we call
141 gtk_spin_button_update() in the GtkInt/FloatChanged() event handler.
142 * ./debian/control: made the Build-Depends: entry a one-liner (Closes
144 * ./src/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: a lock was not released.
145 * ./plugins/text/rc.c: added a safety lock.
146 * ./plugins/gtk/*: new Network dialog box for Gtk and Gnome interfaces.
147 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: you can now force the mpeg_audio demux
149 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_headers.c: update reference in case of sequence
151 * ./src/input/input_clock.c: don't keep the control lock during the pause.
152 * ./plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c, ./src/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: check for
153 b_die and b_error in all loops so that we don't remain stuck waiting for
154 data whereas the vlc has tried to quit.
155 * ./src/misc/mtime.c: we use nanosleep whenever possible (patch from Meuuh).
156 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c : it will not segfault with broken avi with an unknown
158 * ./src/misc/mtime.c: removed usage of usleep (not thread safe) (by Meuuh).
159 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: video output patch to improve handling
160 of late pictures (by Meuuh).
161 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c, src/interface/intf_playlist.c: disabled
162 calls to realloc(_,0) in a similar way to input_programs.c.
163 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_seek.c: fix random segfaults on title change (i_cell
164 should be tested _before_ we access the structures).
165 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed memory corruption by setting a few
166 pointers to NULL after they have been free()ed.
167 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: removed now useless ASSERTs.
168 * ./plugins/beos/*: improved overlay and bitmap support, not tested on nVidia
169 cards. Lower CPU usage and no thread created per frame.
170 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c: added a sanity check.
171 * ./plugins/vcd/*: vcd access plugin now uses mpeg_ps demux instead of its
173 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_qdview.m: attempt to fix the video output with
175 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: probably fixed most "crash when changing
176 audio track" problems by zeroing the p_ac3dec structure.
177 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: fixed a "INPUT_MAX_ALLOCATION reached"
179 * ./src/input/input_dec.c, ./src/input/input_programs.c: check size to avoid
181 * ./plugins/win32/network.*: new Network dialog box.
182 * ./src/input/input.c, ./plugins/access/http.c, ./plugins/access/udp.c: added
183 the input_FDNetworkClose() function to be called when closing a networking
184 stream instead of input_FDClose().
185 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: use closesocket() instead of close() at the end
186 of the network_ChannelJoin() for WIN32.
187 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed an issue with long options from
188 modules where option arguments and playlist entries were mixed.
189 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: fixed endianness issue; subtitles colors
191 * ./plugins/satellite/input_satellite.c: fixed a compilation warning.
192 * ./configure.in: added libdvbpsi version check.
193 * ./include/modules_inner.h: fixed a bug in module reinitialization,
194 which should fix crashes after a long pause.
195 * ./src/input/*: fixed a bug (glitch/segfault) when seeking.
196 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: we handle PCR even if they are not attached
198 * ./configure.in: new --with-mad-tree configure option.
199 * ./BUGS: updated BUGS file.
200 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: it should now be possible to quit when reading
202 * ./src/misc/iso-639.def, ./include/iso_lang.h, ./src/misc/iso_lang.c:
204 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c, ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c,
205 ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: adapted DecodeLanguage calls to the new
207 * plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: ISO-639-2 descriptors handling.
208 * ./include/mmx.h, ./plugins/imdct/*: gcc-3.1 compilation fixes courtesy
209 of Yves Duret and other Mandrakesoft guys I don't know.
210 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_vlc_wrapper.m: do not eject when we're reading from
212 * ./src/misc/modules.c: if a module has a zero-scored capability, we don't
213 try to use it, unless it was explicitely requested (--vout for example).
214 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: fixed an aspect ratio issue (thanks Meuuh).
215 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: fixed an old old bug in TS demux, thank you
217 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: to avoid problem with PS, test only the
218 first 4 bytes for mpeg header so some broken files, and all web radio will
219 not work. You can change this by changing value of MPEGAUDIO_MAXTESTPOS.
220 * ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml: spelling mistakes, small updates, harmonization with
221 other documentations (thank you Alexis).
222 * ./plugins/satellite/*: some fixes in options parsing (thank you Sam).
223 * ./extras/MacOSX/Resources/vlc.icns: new OS X icon, courtesy of Joeri van
224 Dooren <joeri@van.dooren.be>.
225 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/video_decoder.c: Mac OS X fix.
226 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: you should again be able to play PS
227 streams (I hope it will be enough). Sorry.
228 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: CVS version of ffmpeg can now decode
229 msmpeg4 v1 v2, so I added support for this. But you can always use
230 the old ffmpeg library without any problem (I hope ;).
231 * ./include/video.h : added new fourcc codes for avi.
232 * ./plugins/filter/clone.c: New filter, `--filter clone', duplicates
233 display. To duplicate 12 times, use `--filter clone:12'.
234 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c, ./plugins/x11/xvideo.c: --xvideo-chroma flag to
235 force the XVimage format used.
236 * ./plugins/text/ncurses.c: ncurses interface improvements by Thomas Graf.
237 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: we don't use any more U32_AT.
238 * ./plugins/macosx/*: disabled auto-hiding of mouse cursor since it doesn't
239 work when browsing menus; instead, click in the video window
240 * ./plugins/macosx/*: fixed a major bug in the spu decoder.
241 * ./plugins/macosx/*: Objective-C files are now .m.
242 * ./plugins/macosx/*: fixed menus.
243 * ./plugins/macosx/*: menus for Program/Title/Chapter/Languages.
244 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: we use input_ClockManageRef to do synchro.
245 * ./include/common.h, ./include/input_ext-plugins.h: exported
246 input_ClockGetTS for plugins.
247 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: a demux for mpeg audio stream (file,
249 * ./src/interface/main.c: if Ctrl-C doesn't kill vlc cleanly for any
250 reason, user just needs to hit Ctrl-C again 1 second later and we'll
251 exit disgustingly instead of freezing.
252 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_vlc_wrapper.c: menu code fixes.
253 * ./plugins/macosx/*: fixed Mac OS X VOUT_SIZE_CHANGE signal.
254 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: corrected some bad lock/unlock.
255 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: can now use --novideo.
256 * ./plugins/macosx/*: improvements of the OS X GUI.
257 * ./plugins/mad/*: added mad plugin downscale config option for selecting
258 downscaling routine. Choices are: fast, mpg321. Default the fast version
259 is used. The downscale option mpg321 uses an algorithm that adapts to
260 dither errors. This routine is borrowed from MPG321 code.
261 * ./plugins/mad/*.c: mono audio streams get now duplicated on the right
262 channel instead of silencing the right channel (untested).
263 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c, ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: improvements.
264 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: video plugins that don't handle
265 rescaling themselves have to let the video_output thread know about
266 resizing events (with VOUT_SIZE_CHANGE event). (this part needs some
267 clean-up but it is basically working for the X11 and SDL plugins).
268 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: fixed fullscreen for the SDL plugin.
269 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c, ./plugins/mga/xmga.c: xmga and sdl now switch to
270 fullscreen on double-click.
271 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: try to not freeze when reaching end file.
272 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c, ./src/video_output.c: fixed the resizing and
273 scaling of the X11 video output.
274 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: clicking on the video doesn't pause it anymore
275 (use spacebar for this), but double-clicking will now switch between
276 fullscreen and window mode.
277 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: the Apply button in the preferences menu
278 is grayed out unless there's a change to apply.
279 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: GtkConfigApply() now clears the list of
280 config changes before returning.
281 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: fixed ipv4.so compilation under QNX.
282 * ./configure.in: deactivated ipv6.so under QNX for now.
283 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: more stable audio output with more output
285 * ./BUGS: no text in the status bar with gtk intf, no window title in gtk
286 intf on some machines, correct title on another.
287 * ./plugins/gtk/*.glade, ./plugins/gtk/*_interface.*: fix for interface
288 autoshrink when toolbar text isn't displayed.
289 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk_display.*:
290 callbacks for the hide tooltips and toolbar text options.
291 * ./plugins/mad/*: aout fifo adapts it size according to the length of the
292 first frame. The change is needed for MPEG1/2 layer III, because the size
293 of output pcm from mad_decoder is different.
294 * ./include/modules_inner.h, ./src/misc/configuration.c: support for config
296 * ./configure.in: we check support for variadic macros (screw Borland!).
297 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c: new option lets you hide the text of the
298 GNOME interface toolbar.
299 * ./FAQ: small FAQ update. Please note that everyone can update this FAQ if
300 they want, it is not my property :-).
301 * ./AUTHORS: added quite a few missing names.
302 * ./plugins/qnx/vout_qnx.c: port of the QNX vout plugin to the vout4 API,
303 courtesy of Pascal Levesque <Pascal.Levesque@mindready.com>.
304 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: you can now use slow and fast reading. After seeking,
305 audio and video synchro is better.
306 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: misc sound fixes.
307 * ./configure.in: fixed VCD double detection.
308 * ./src/misc/configuration.c, ./plugins/text/logger.c: the configuration file
309 and the log file are opened in text mode. This mode should only have a
310 meaning on Win32 and isn't supposed to break any other platform. If does
311 give you any trouble then shout.
312 * ./configure.in: added a --with-a52-tree option to the configure script.
313 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: FOURCC_YUY2 subtitles support (for NVidia
314 overlay) courtesy of Rudolf Cornelissen <rag.cornelissen@inter.nl.net>.
315 * ./plugins/kde/*: configuration dialog for the KDE interface, courtesy
316 of Sigmund Augdal <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>.
317 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.h: workaround for yet another annoying gcc
318 behaviour with inline assembly (seems to be BeOS-specific). If anyone has
319 a better idea than the huge "memory" constraint, please have a look at
320 the MMX_CALL() macro!
321 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: corrected a bug with broken avi files.
322 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: added config_Get/PutFloatVariable to
323 p_sysmbols. Thanks to Sigmund Augdal for pointing this bug out.
324 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c: on Win32 the aout_pcm thread is given a high
325 priority. This avoids lots of audio underruns, especially when moving
326 around the video window.
327 * plugins/avi/avi.c : changed in order to read more avi files, Meuuh
328 you can now read your file ;) (but audio is awful, perhaps because of mad
329 plugin ?). Fix a bug for audio with some avi files.
330 * ./plugins/satellite/satellite.c: fixed a compilation issue in satellite
331 input. It now uses common or libdvbpsi ts demux. Untested cause I can't
332 get our Nova Card work again.
333 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: restored vout_CopyPicture(). It is
334 needed by the directx plugin damnit ;-)
335 * ./include/config.h: restored AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION to its old value. It
336 should solve quite a few underrun problems.
337 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: a little bit of DirectX plugin clean-up.
338 * ./ipkg/control: added more information in ipkg control file.
339 * ./include/modules_inner.h: the module name is now a default shortcut, for
340 it, no need to manually add it.
341 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c, ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: when in fullscreen
342 mode, the Esc key does not quit immediately, but first escapes from
343 fullscreen mode. User-requested feature.
344 * ./include/os_specific.h: fixed a C++ compilation issue.
345 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: removed the main() declaration because SDL
346 defines it as a macro.
347 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: with some broken avi files, will not freeze, and
348 try to detect end of file.
349 * ./include/threads_func.h: moved the function definitions from threads.h
350 into threads_funcs.h. This allows us to move p_main_sys into p_main
352 * ./configure.in: fixed the --with-gtk-config-path and --with-sdl-config-path
354 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: seek is faster.
355 * ./configure.in: fixed a typo in libdvbpsi handling.
356 * ./plugins/vcd/cdrom_tools: FreeBSD 4.5 port of the vcd input.
357 * ./INSTALL.win32: updated win32 compilation instructions.
358 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: fixed --program option.
359 * ./include/common.h: fixed vlc_memalign.
360 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: now it can play broken files with seek enabled but
361 it's very slow (will be fixed soon).
362 * ./src/misc/beos_specific.c: added system_Configure(). Sorry O:-)
363 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: a video divx ES will no longer be considered
364 as an audio ES (thanks sam).
365 * ./src/misc/darwin_specific.c: added system_Configure().
366 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: cleaned up QTScaleMatrix().
367 * ./plugins/macosx/*: A/V sync should be much more precise.
368 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_qdview.c: borders in fullscreen mode are now black
369 and the movie is centered.
370 * ./extras/MacOSX/vlc.pbproj/project.pbxproj: new creator ID: VLC#.
371 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: exported input_ClockManageRef for fenrir.
372 * ./include/video.h: moved vout_CopyPicture out of the way, an inline
373 function did not make sense here.
374 * ./include/video.h: moved vout_ChromaCmp out of the way.
375 * ./plugins/avi/fourcc.h, ./include/video.h: merged these two files into
377 * ./include/os_specific.h: this file is now always included.
378 * ./include/debug.h: removed this file which was almost useless, and moved
380 * ./include/common.h: fixed vlc_memalign and changed its prototype to
381 follow posix_memalign's.
382 * ./configure.in: dropped usage of $withval and $enableval in favor of the
383 safer variants $with_foo and $enable_foo.
384 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: will not segfault when no audio is found/supported.
385 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: with empty frame(data_packet) it won't segfault.
386 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: use KeyFrame to seek, so video will not be bad as
388 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: moved Program Specific Information
389 decoder to the ts demux module.
390 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/Makefile: added a mpeg_ts_dvbpsi module tha uses
391 libdvbpsi to decode PSIs. It is used by default if the lib is found. It
392 shares much code with mpeg_ts.
393 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed typo. You have to double click on
394 the video window to switch to fullscreen.
395 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: on Win32 the config file is now stored under
396 the "Application Data" folder belonging to the user. (this works if at
397 least IE4 is installed, otherwise the old method is used to get the
399 * ./configure.in: fixed MacOS X module linking problem.
400 * ./src/interface/main.c: we no longer segfault if argc == 0.
401 * ALL: renamed PLUGINS to __PLUGINS__ to avoid conflicts with libraries
403 * ./src/input/input_ext-plugins.c: cosmetic change.
404 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/*: use of _M to avoid conflict with libavcodec.a.
405 * ./plugins/avi/*: a light AVI demux.
406 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/*: a video decoder for divx v3 and opendivx.
407 * ./plugins/win32/preferences.cpp: fixed a compilation bug
408 * ./plugins/avi, ./plugins/ffmpeg: created empty directories for fenrir's
410 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: fixed the spu decoder to take the pitch
411 of the destination picture into account when rendering the subtitles
412 (Implemented only for the YUV modes).
413 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed the mouse autohidding feature in
414 the DirectX plugin (at least partially).
415 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: fixed the DirectX video output for
416 non-overlay modes. It was only working in RGB16 before.
417 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: DirectX video output plugin now uses
418 triple buffering for YUV overlay. This improves the video quality a lot
419 (no tearing) without affecting performance. (I knew double buffering
420 sucked but I just discovered why triple buffering is better: you don't
421 have to wait for the vsync to flip the buffers).
422 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c, ./plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c: temporary fix
423 to avoid retrieving the spu palette from a network stream as if it was
425 * ./src/interface/main.c: tidied the help output code.
426 * ALL: removed underscores from option names and made a few options more
427 self-explanatory, for instance --input_channel becomes --audio-channel;
428 run vlc -H to see what has changed.
429 * ALL: replaced many occurences of "plugin" with the word "module".
430 * ./src/interface/main.c: moved all satellite-specific configuration options
431 to the satellite plugin.
432 * ./po/*: updated translations.
433 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.h: optimized the 420 planar-to-packed chroma
434 transformations. They're now PIC-friendly as well.
435 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_open.c: added Open disc and network panels.
436 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_controller.c: some changes to the control layout.
437 * ./src/interface/main.c: i_warning_level is set to 0 to avoid unwanted
439 * ./po/en_GB.po: British translation.
440 * ./src/interface/main.c, ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed the warning_level
441 handling: "-v" and "--warning" are now working as they should and they also
442 are cumulative (using -vv --warning=3 you end up with i_warning_level=5).
443 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: support for short options. -V, -A, -I
444 are back, and we also have -4 and -6 for IPv4/IPv6.
445 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: added config_GetFloatVariable() and
446 config_PutFloatVariable() to the config module.
447 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: added a --zoom <float> config option.
448 * ./plugins/idct/idct_sparse.c: added a call to RestoreCPUState() in
449 InitIDCT() so that the FPU is still available after a call to InitIDCT().
450 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: deactivated stream buffering when logging to a
452 * ./po/*: re-ran make update-po, fixed a few translations.
453 * ./po/fr.po: completed the french translation.
454 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade, ./plugins/gtk/gnome.glade: synchronized a few
455 strings between the Gtk+ and GNOME modules to avoid duplicate translations.
456 * ./po/de.po: updated german translation. Many thanks to Thomas Graf.
457 * ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml: URL & mailing-lists corrections.
458 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: the last category from the config options
460 * po/nl.po: updated Netherlands translation of interface.
461 * po/fr.po: completed french translations.
462 * ALL: internationalized all configuration strings.
463 * ./src/interface/main.c: we now set LC_CTYPE to get the right charset.
464 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: lots of simplifications in the code.
465 * ./po/vlc/pot: updated translations.
468 Thu, 18 Apr 2002 06:43:42 +0200
470 * ./vlc.spec: fixed build dependencies.
471 * ./configure.in: when -lintl is available, we now also link plugins with it.
472 * ./include/threads.h: fixed a segfault under Solaris, thanks to Meuuh.
473 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: RGB 24bpp and 32bpp support.
474 * ./configure.in: switched version to 0.3.1.
475 * ./vlc.spec: imported Mandrakesoft's latest enhancements.
476 * ./configure.in, ./plugins/network/ipv6.c: support for the GNU glibc
477 extension gethostbyname2(), thanks to Thomas Graf.
478 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: finally fixed MacOS X aspect ratio. If you
479 know how to center the picture in the screen, and make the remaining space
480 black instead of white, PLEASE drop me a mail!
481 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: in TS demux, a program is selected only if a
482 PMT for it was found. This should fix the problem that occured when reading
483 a file directly extracted from a satellite card.
484 * ./plugins/access/udp.c: UDP access plugin uses input_SetProgram.
485 * ./AUTHORS: added people locations, just for fun.
486 * ./configure.in: disabled SSE plugins when using mingw32.
487 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: disabled the AltiVec warning message on the
488 PowerPC platform because it was misleading.
489 * ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: have dvdread plug-in respond to dvd: URLs.
490 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_macosx.c: MacOS X interface shouldn't take as much
492 * ./plugins/motion/motionaltivec.c: fixed a bug in AltiVec-enabled MC (thanks
494 * ./plugins/memcpy/memcpyaltivec.c: fixed a case of segfault in AltiVec-
496 * ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml: big update of Henri's howto.
497 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/*: support for pictures with a pitch different from
498 the picture width, inspired by Gildas Bazin.
499 * ./plugins/satellite/input_satellite.c: fixed a typo in satellite input.
500 * ./src/interface/main.c: added options to configure antenna (sat_lnb_lof1,
501 sat_lnb_lof2, sat_lnb_slof and sat_diseqc). They only appear if satellite
503 * ./plugins/satellite/input_satellite.c: fixed a few bugs in satellite
504 input (device was not closed in every failure case, symbol rate limits
505 in gnome interface were wrong).
506 * ./plugins/gtk/*: added FEC choice in command line, gtk and gnome
507 interfaces. Command line is now satellite:<frequency(Hz)>,
508 <polarization(0=V,1=H)>,<fec(1=1/2,2=2/3...)>,<symbol rate(kbyte/s)>
509 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: implemented a fix for nVidia overlays
511 * ./Makefile: fixed the Win32 interface under Win2k/XP.
512 * ./src/misc/modules_plugins.h: implemented a dlerror()-like wrapper
514 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ps.c: fixed another bug in PS demux: the first
515 program added was at the same time declared as the current program and as
516 a new program, which made the ES be selected two times.
517 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed a bug in input_SetProgram, that made
518 the ps file input launch without video.
519 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: fixed code to close vout window, does not
521 * ./po/fr.po: french translation update
522 * ./configure.in: fixed a bug in the libdvdread detection.
523 * ./configure.in: fixed plugin compilation under Win32.
524 * ./vlc.spec: imported MandrakeSoft's enhancements.
525 * ./doc/developer/decoders.xml: fixed a typo preventing compilation.
526 * ./plugins/aa/aa.c: we now parse the AAOPTS environment variable.
527 * ./plugins/aa/aa.c: a few simplifications in the code.
528 * ./src/input/input.c: made file access plugin use input_SetProgram so that
529 we may change program when reading a file.
530 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed a bug in input_SetProgram.
531 * ./src/interface/main.c: added --input_program <int> option, to choose the
532 program from the command line.
533 * ./plugins/memcpy/memcpyaltivec.c: fixed AltiVec-enabled version of
535 * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed --memcpy switch.
536 * ./Makefile: changed CFLAGS_VLC to vlc_CFLAGS (last-minute changes are
538 * ./README - Mac OS X.rtf: new README file for MacOS X.
539 * ./Makefile: fixed the Win32 interface under Win2k/XP.
540 * ./src/misc/modules_plugins.h: implemented a dlerror()-like wrapper
542 * ./configure.in: wrote a better test for libdvdread detection.
543 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade: added lines this #@%$! Glade had munched, fixes
544 a segfault in the Gtk+ popup menu when toggling the interface.
545 * ./plugins/motion/motion.c: fixed a compilation issue on compilers which
546 do not accept empty macro arguments.
549 Sat, 6 Apr 2002 04:27:50 +0200
551 * ./doc/release-howto.txt: updated documentation.
552 * ./vlc.spec: added missing plugin filenames to the build process.
553 * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.dfm: swapped two mixed up tooltips.
554 * ./Makefile: fixed make dist and make distclean.
555 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: compilation fix.
556 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: fixed ejection code.
557 * ./plugins/text/ncurses.c: fixed compilation of the ncurses plugin.
558 * ./vlc.spec: updated specfile.
559 * ./Makefile, ./configure.in: misc BeOS build fixes.
560 * ./plugins/win32/win32.cpp: fixed `--intf intfwin' which wasn't working.
561 * ./Makefile: we don't include the Gtk+ and SDL DLLs in the win32 package
562 anymore, the package is now 700k instead of 4MB.
563 * ./configure.in, ./Makefile, ./Makefile.opts.in: replaced LIB_FOO with
564 foo_LDFLAGS and CFLAGS_BAR with bar_CFLAGS for faster builds, and moved a
565 lot of stuff from Makefile.opts.in back to configure.in.
566 * ./install-win32: updated script for NSIS 1.96.
567 * ./configure.in: added --enable-intfwin to enable the win32 interface and
568 --with-bcbuilder to tell make where to find Borland C++ Builder.
569 * ./plugins/win32/intfwin.bpr: we now build intfwin.so at the right place.
570 * ./plugins/win32/Makefile: intfwin.so can be built using commandline.
571 * ./configure.in, ./include/threads.h, ./include/common.h: a custom defs.h
572 file isn't needed for the intfwin plugin anymore.
573 * ./INSTALL.win32: updated compilation instructions for the intfwin plugin.
574 * ./AUTHORS: added ipkiss.
575 * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: disabled the "hide interface" menu
576 item, not yet implemented.
577 * ./plugins/win32/about.dfm: replaced the outdated author list with a
578 "VideoLAN Team" entry.
579 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade, plugins/gtk/gnome.glade, ./plugins/kde/kde.cpp:
580 replaced the outdated author list with a "VideoLAN Team" entry.
581 * ./debian/rules, ./debian/control: deactivated the vlc-kde package because
582 it does not work, and removed the vlc-a52 package because liba52 is
583 statically linked into vlc.
584 * ./debian/control: added more helpful package descriptions.
585 * ALL: changed version to 0.3.0. Yeah, it's coming.
586 * ./Makefile: fixed make dist.
587 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a vout4 image starvation bug.
588 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: we look for libdvdcss.so.2 as well as -.so.1.
589 * ./configure.in: BSD/OS fixes thanks to Steven M. Schultz.
590 * ./Makefile: renamed the `snapshot' rule to `dist'.
591 * ./Makefile: removed the `snapshot-nocss' rule which isn't needed anymore.
592 * ./Makefile.modules: modules now depend on Makefile.opts.
593 * ./configure.in: added (hopefully) explicit messages on how to get
594 libdvdcss and link vlc with it.
595 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: removed inclusion of dvd_udf.h.
596 * ./plugins/win32/*: Added management for secondary config dialogs
597 * ./plugins/ogg/*: added preliminary files for an Ogg/Vorbis decoder a
598 contributor is currently working on.
599 * ALL: removed libdvdcss from the vlc tree.
600 * ALL: removed libdvdread from the vlc tree.
601 * ./acconfig.h: removed this file.
602 * ./plugins/dvd/dummy_dvdcss.c: merged this file into dvd.c.
603 * ./AUTHORS: moved a few gentlemen to the libdvdcss AUTHORS file.
604 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: use the dvd_device config option.
605 * ./po/ja.po: added Japanese translation from Fumio Nakayama
606 <endymion@ca2.so-net.ne.jp>.
607 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: fixed disc ejection code.
608 * ./include/threads.h: new pthread implementation for WinNT/2K/XP. This
609 implementation shouldn't be subject to race conditions as it is using
610 SignalObjectAndWait() from the Win32 API. As this should be somehow slower
611 than the old method (still used on Win9x), you can specify that you want
612 to use the old method with the "fast_pthread" config option.
613 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: added a new p_main_sys global variable. This
614 variable is a pointer to an OS specific structure which is defined in
615 *_specific.h. This structure can be filled by the already existing
616 System_Init() function and is a nice way to avoid too many #ifdefs.
617 * ./include/defs.h.in: got rid of the DVD_DEVICE macro. We now use the
618 dvd_device config option. This creates a small memory leak as we don't free
619 the string obtained from config_GetPszVariable, but I think we can live
621 * ./configure.in: the SSE plugins are disabled on the mingw32 build as they
622 don't work (because memalign is not implemented on win32, and malloc only
623 aligns on an 8 bytes boundary).
624 * ./INSTALL.win32: fixed a small mistake.
625 * ./include/config.h: fixed config directory name for windows.
626 * ./plugins/win32: the network dialog now respects the preferences settings.
627 * ./src/input/input_ext-plugins.c: compilation fix. :-ppppp
628 * ./plugins/memcpy/fastmemcpy.h: AltiVec-enabled version of fastmemcpy.
629 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: use ImageBuffer instead of ScreenBuffer in
630 OS X video output (should be faster).
631 * ./src/interface/main.c: check that channels have been created before
632 the call to network_ChannelJoin.
633 * ./plugins/win32/*: fixed a few bugs in the preferences.
634 * ./plugins/win32/*: better auto-resizing of the main window.
635 * ./plugins/win32/*: the disc dialog now respects the preferences settings.
636 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: small compilation fix.
637 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: added a test for the nooverlay option.
638 * ./include/config.h: changed directory of the config file for BeOS to be
639 consistant with OS standard.
640 * ./configure.in: BeOS, liba52 and chroma plugin compilation fixes.
641 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: removed a warning.
642 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: Solaris fixes by Meuuh.
643 * ./FAQ: removed outdated stuff.
644 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed yet another bug related to the event
646 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: removed a few debug messages.
647 * ./extras/Win32_msvc/*: Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 6 project files. This
648 is useful mainly for debugging as the hardware accelerated plugins can't
649 be compiled with msvc.
650 * ./plugins/downmix/ac3_downmix_sse.c, ./plugins/downmix/ac3_downmix_3dn.c:
651 Win32 compilation fixes when downmixsse and downmix3dn are declared as
653 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed the waiting on the event thread
654 creation in the directx plugin.
655 * ./Makefile: updated the "package-win32" rule.
656 * ./install-win32: all txt files are now converted to dos format (CRLF).
657 * ./doc/win32/Cross-Compile-Howto.txt: VLC-Win32 Cross-Compile Howto,
658 courtesy of Bill Eldridge.
659 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: improved overlay detection, default colour
661 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: allow the user to resize the configuration
663 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: moved config_GetIntVariable out of the
665 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: you can now set a maximum height for the
666 configuration windows in the gtk and gnome plugins. This patch _doesn't
667 change_ the look of the interface unless this interface tries to use more
668 space than allowed, in which case scrollbars are added to make the
669 navigation easy. Note that this setting only affects the default size the
670 interface will use, the user is then free to change the size of the window
672 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: tooltips are now triggered only in
673 specific places. This is a lot less intrusive and annoying for the users.
674 * ./plugins/win32: fixed the bug on exiting the vout pressing 'q'.
675 * ./plugins/beos/*: implemented an "always-on-top" feature for the interface
676 window, RGB16 Overlay supported again, resizing is now implemented
678 * ./plugins/win32: subtitles should work, now.
679 * ./plugins/access/udp.c: disabled the server argument in udpstream: because
680 it confuses users and is not of any practical use.
681 * ./src/interface/main.c: fix for sparc.
682 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: don't try to stat() the dvd drive letter on
684 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: disabled YUV overlay double buffering for
685 now, as it seems to actually be slower.
686 * ./include/threads.h: temporary fix in vlc_cond_signal() for win32 (I really
687 should use SignalObjectAndWait() on WinNT so we can avoid race conditions
688 in the pthread code). This fixes a problem noticed on WinXP where vlc would
689 freeze regularly and eat-up all the CPU (fun no?).
690 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: when unselecting an ES, we must ged rid of
691 p_es->p_pes so that it is regererated when we select this ES again. It made
692 vlc segfault when switching from some stream to another, or when switching
693 program in satellite input.
694 * ./plugins/access/udp.c: UDP access plug-in can now receive MPTS (Multiple
695 Program TS) and switch programs.
696 * ./plugins/macosx/*: audio and video output go to time-constrained
697 scheduling [OS X port].
698 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: some dirty ifdefs for a nicer gnome
699 interface (gnome buttons, gnome dialogs).
700 * ./po/nl.po: translation of user interface messages to Netherlands.
701 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: new options "gtk_hide_toltips"
702 or "gnome_hide_tooltips". Tooltips are enabled by default. This option is
703 only considered on module initialization.
704 * ./configure.in: GNU make detection.
705 * ./extras/MacOSX/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib/objects.nib: deleted
706 non-working fullscreen menu item [OS X].
707 * ./plugins/access/http.c, ./plugins/access/udp.c: udp and http no longer
708 modify p_input->psz_name.
709 * ALL: various little portability fixes.
710 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: changed the behaviour of the config file:
711 now all the config options are saved. <string> config options which have
712 no default value are also saved in the config file but as an empty string,
713 and config_LoadConfigFile will ignore empty config options, which also
714 means we cannot pass an empty string as a <string> config option. (this
715 shouldn't matter anyway).
716 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: modified the gtk interface to save an
717 empty <string> option as a NULL pointer.
718 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: modified config_LoadConfigFile to consider an
719 empty <string> option as a NULL pointer.
720 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: save button (inadvertently suppressed).
721 * ./plugins/win32: added toolbar icons (thanks xav), we can no longer edit
722 plugin names in the preferences :)
723 * ./plugins/win32: the tool button for playlist is now a toggle button.
724 * ./plugins/beos/InterfaceWindow.cpp: disabled controls if the playlist was
726 * ./plugins/win32/*: added a win32 interface plugin, developed with Borland
727 C++ Builder. To build the plugin, follow the instructions in
729 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: fixed an ugly structure, the tabs are not
730 verticaly expanded as they were, small enhancements.
731 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk_common.h: new
733 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: modifications of some widgets, the
734 structure, cosmetic changes.
735 * ./src/interface/main.c: typos, a couple of new descriptions.
736 * ./src/interface/main.c: moved the "display" option from main to the
737 relevant plugins. ( We now have the x11_display, xvideo_display,
738 xmga_display and ggi_display options ).
739 * ./INSTALL-win32.txt: fixed a little omission.
740 * ./src/plugins/gtk/*: fixed a bug that made vlc segfault when choosing a
741 program, change to another and come back to the first one.
742 * ./src/plugins/gtk/*: added gtk and gnome interfaces for satellite input. We
743 should find a way to hide the button if satellite support is not compiled.
744 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: implemented correct scaling and used new
745 window size variables. Beta always on top for the interface window. New
747 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: fixed a problem in the MacOS X aout which
748 caused the previously played audio frames to be played when there were no
749 new frames available.
750 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: MacOS X vout now uses the height/width
751 calculated in video_output.c.
752 * ./configure.in: Win32 fix.
753 * ./configure.in: miscellaneous fixes for the OS X port.
754 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: the calculation for the initial video
755 window dimensions is now done in video_output.c and made available into
756 p_vout->i_window_height/width. This allows to get rid of duplicated code
757 and unify the behaviour of the video output plugins. (not all the plugins
758 have been modified because I didn't want to break anything).
759 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: moved GetConfigurationFromCmdLine() into
760 configuration.c and renamed it to config_LoadCmdLine().
761 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: config_GetHomeDir doesn't use getpwuid_r
762 anymore as this was creating some problems on solaris. This function now
763 uses getpwuid and is called only once to store the home directory into the
765 * ./plugins/satellite/*: added satellite input. It works with WinTV Nova
766 card, and siemens 0.9.4 drivers from www.linuxtv.org.
767 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: fixed stupid bug in stupid
768 ConvertPrintfFormatString() function.
769 * ./plugins/win32/waveout.c: fixed the "waveout not closing" bug. We need to
770 reset the waveout device before closing it.
771 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: fixed a bus error on UltraSparc.
772 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: Win32 and Solaris compilation fix.
773 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: improved scaling, correct aspect ratio even
774 in full screen mode, duplicate code reduces and framework for Overlay and
775 OpenGL modes in place.
776 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: kludge to allow the ALSA module to be
777 compiled as a plugin. Please test.
778 * ./include/modules.h: fixed a C++ warning.
779 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: VCD raw device fix, courtesy of Steven Schultz.
780 * ./configure.in: better IPv6 detection. IPv6 is disabled under MacOS X (no
782 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed some bugs in program management:
783 selected ESs must be attached to the selected program.
784 * ./plugins/aa: aalib output plugin courtesy of Sigmund Augdal.
785 * ./configure.in: fixed a few bashisms.
786 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed build under Solaris.
787 * ./TODO: updated todo list.
788 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: fixed a memory leak.
789 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_pool.c: fixed a memory leak.
790 * plugins/win32/waveout.c: fixed typo.
791 * ./configure.in: BeOS compilation fixes.
792 * ./debian/rules: activated (broken) KDE interface.
793 * ./plugins/access/http.c: fixed a segfault.
794 * ./plugins/alsa/aout_alsa.c: fixed a segfault.
795 * ./include/common.h: fixed the compilation fix for Borland C++ :)
796 * ./include/common.h: compilation fix for Borland C++.
797 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: MacOS X aout now uses AudioConverter for
799 * ./plugins/macosx/*: Various MacOS X intf improvements and bug fixes.
800 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb8.c: fixed a warning.
801 * ./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: fixed chroma deinterlacing.
802 * ./plugins/kde/kde.cpp: the KDE interface compiles again.
803 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_es.c: fixed a segfault I introduced today.
804 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: cosmetic fix.
805 * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a typo in the --help output.
806 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: fixed a segfault in the vlcs communication; still
807 unstable but solving other bugs won't do any good without rewriting the
808 whole playlist code. Which I'm doing right now.
809 * ./configure.in: MacOS X compile fixes.
810 * ./src/input/input.c: skip "//" if we find "://" in a resource we have to
811 play : this allows us touse the syntax udpstream://host.
812 * ./extras/MacOSX_dvdioctl: removed outdated files.
813 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: fixed an infinite loop error.
814 * ./plugins: fixed segfaults in various demux plugins.
815 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: SDL_VIDEODRIVER can be specified from the
816 command line; try "--vout sdl:aalib"
817 * ./configure.in: fixed linking of the ipv4 plugin.
818 * ./configure.in: DirectX plugin is now correctly detected and configured.
819 * ./BUGS: updated bug list.
820 * ./configure.in: ./configure --help should be a lot clearer now.
821 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb8.c: plain C 8 bpp transformation.
822 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: plain C 24/32 bpp transformations.
823 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
824 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
825 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
826 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault.
827 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: added an alternate fullscreen method. With this
828 method, _nothing_ is allowed to be displayed on top of the video
829 (especially not taskbars, etc...). Of course this can also be annoying
830 sometimes, this is why it's an option.
831 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: small fix for the config file. The parser
832 assumes that the config file is divided into sections (a section is the
833 config data for a plugin and begins with something like [foo]), so the
834 comment for the beginning of the section must be after the section marker
836 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: tidied code and prevented curruption on
837 window not containing the video. Video window now returns to correct size
838 and position after toggling full screen.
839 * ./configure.in: more modules are plugins.
840 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: changed ~/.VideoLan/vlc to ~/.videolan/vlcrc,
841 and a few cosmetic changes (sorry Gildas for the butchery).
842 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: C version of the I420 to RV15/16 chroma.
843 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: this the last piece of the new configuration
844 module. You can now save your configuration options (only from the
845 gtk/gnome interface for now). The config file will be saved as
847 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: we now analyze the subtitle image
848 data to find the border color and the inner colors when there was
849 no way to find the palette data (network stream).
850 * ./plugins/mpeg_system: fixed a parsing bug I introduced yesterday.
851 * ./Makefile: fixed OS X vlc.app compilation dependencies.
852 * ./configure.in: fixed the endianness check under Solaris.
853 * ./src/input/input.c: strings are now initialized to "" instead of NULL.
854 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: we now properly support the subtitle
855 palette information we get from the DVD. Subtitles rox !
856 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: removed all DVD-specific routines
857 and put them into spu_decoder.c.
858 * ./plugins/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: removed an ugly loop.
859 * ./plugins/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: moved iec958/spdif encapsulation from
860 ac3_spdif to aout_spdif. It will eventually allows to use ac3_adec or a52
862 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: fixed chapter selection at startup.
863 * ./src/input/input_dec.c: p_es->p_demux_data is available in
864 p_config->p_demux_data so that the input can pass information directly to
865 the decoder. First application: aspect ratio for DVD is read from the ifo
866 (should fix the buf with aspect ratio in anamorphic DVDs).
867 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c: the DVD plugin also copies the spu yuv palette in
868 p_demux_data so that the spudec can display subtitle with the right color
870 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: removed duplicate code and useless lock in gtk.
871 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed EOF and Stop segfault in VCD input:
872 input_BuffersEnd was being called twice.
873 * ./AUTHORS: updated Tony Castley's e-mail.
874 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: new resizing and scaling code. More in line
876 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: a52 plugin updated to use liba52-0.7.3 (which is now
877 available in debian :)
878 * ./src/interface/main.c: new configuration option to choose audio output
879 format at runtime. It allows to select spdif pass-through decoder with
880 --ac3_adec and to remove the ugly b_ac3 in main.h. As a consequence --spdif
881 doesn't work anymore: you should use --ac3_adec pass.
882 * ./src/interface/main.c: return the option name in error message for
883 unknown option intead of the argument.
884 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: gtk config interface modified so you can
885 only have one instance of a plugin config dialog box displayed at one time.
886 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: new GTK configuration interface. This
887 interface is generated dynamically at run-time from the configuration data
888 contained in each plugin.
889 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: config_PutPszVariable and config_GetPszVariable
891 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: few modifications/optimizations to the config
893 * ./include/config.h: got rid of all the _VAR macros in config.h.
894 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: added missing include (MacOS X port).
895 * ./plugins/dvd/*: fixed EOF segfault at end of DVD.
896 * ./src/input/input.c: buffer manager is renintialised at area change.
897 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c, ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: we now exit more
898 cleanly on initialization error.
899 * ./plugins/dvd/*: rewrote most functions in DVD plugin. Some old bugs might
900 have been solved in the operation. The plugin some be more readable now,
901 and should produce fewaer segfaults (I hope so :p)
902 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: added some tests in open.
903 * ./plugins/alsa/aout_alsa.c: spdif support in the ALSA plugin.
904 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: when reaching the end of a track, moves to the
906 * ./src/interface/main.c: disabled the GNOME segfault dialog in debug
907 mode. We want nice, clean segfaults, with huge core files and a lot
909 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: I hope you liked this bug: DVD demux was always used.
910 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_demux.c: fixed demux plugin selection.
911 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: take the lock on stream in VCDInit. Please
912 test, as I don't have any VCD to do it.
913 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_parse.c: ac3dec is now less verbose.
914 * ./src/interface/interface.c: fixed a deadlock when seeking the
915 stream using the keyboard arrows.
916 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_display.c: removed an occurance of former angle item in
918 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: fixed a bug
919 in ES management introduced lately in DVD/DvdRead.
920 * ./plugins/dvd/*: beginning of reorganisation in DVD plugin source files,
921 in order to try to make it easier to understand. There is some work left
923 * ./plugins/vcd/vcd.c: decreased the score for VCD plugin, as the VCD demuxer
924 was used even for DVD :p. It should make autodetection work.
925 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: modified vcd input for the new input III. Still
926 have problems with end of tracks.
927 * ./plugins/vcd/vcd.c: modified the command line, as stef did for the DVD.
928 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: DVD demux was no longer selected under win32.
929 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: DVD angle
930 is now handled through a program structure, so that the interface needs
931 nothing specific to change angle.
932 * ./src/input/input_clock.c: fixed a bug in clock management where ES without
933 a program couldn't get timestamped.
934 * ./plugins/gtk/*: fixed program management in gnome/gtk. Program now also
936 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: in interface, only display ES associated with
937 the selected program, or with no program at all.
938 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed typo in the win32 change to the input parser.
939 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: more complete
940 command line parsing for DVD, hopefully working this time.
941 * ./plugins/network/ipv6.c: IPv6 network module, courtesy of Alexis Guillard
942 <alexis.guillard@bt.com>, for BT.
943 * ./src/interface/main.c: --6 and --4 options to force IPv6 or IPv4 (FIXME:
944 it should be -6 and -4 but I don't know how to do it with the new
945 configuration module).
946 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: channel manager now uses a socket from the network
947 plug-in and is more portable (and probably broken, too :)
948 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ps.c, ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c:
949 input_ReadPS and input_ReadTS are now in mpeg_system.c to be more easily
950 reused by plug-ins other than mpeg_ps and mpeg_ts.
951 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: we now make sure the aout plugin buffers
952 always contain between AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION/2 and AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION*3/2
953 worth of audio. This should solve the audio buffer underruns.
954 * ./src/input/input.c: fix for the bug in input when filename contains a '@'
956 * ./src/input/input.c: simplified the win32 specific changes to the input
957 parser. (I think we can safely assume that no access plugin name will have
958 a length of one character).
959 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: DVD access plugin is only called if specified under
960 windows (no automatic detection).
961 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: replaced setenv with putenv.
962 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_open.c: fixed a bug in gtk.
963 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: new command line for DVD, to get rid of global
964 options input_title or so.
965 * ./Makefile: added network to the list of the plugins directories.
966 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: fixed DVD input under Win32.
967 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed input parser under win32, which couldn't
968 understand that c:\windows\bureau is a valid file and doesn't need to be
969 accessed with the plugin 'C' :-)
970 * ./AUTHORS: added xav.
971 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: got rid of int_types.h and did a few changes
972 Ipkiss will need. Hope I did not break other platforms.
973 * ./include/common.h: fixed compilation problem related to ssize_t.
974 * ./include/common.h: various Win32 compilation fixes.
975 * ./include/input_ext-plugins.h: DVD compiles, but doesn't work yet.
976 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: fixed some typos in my previous Win32 multicast
978 * ./plugins/dummy/input_dummy.c: fixed `vlc vlc:quit'.
979 * ./src/input/input.c: initialized uninitialized variables.
980 * ./src/input/input.c: initialize p_access_module & p_demux_modules to NULL
981 when input thread is created.
982 * ./po/no.po: Norwegian translation by Sigmund Augdal. Berdå ka pø tüt.
983 * ./src/misc/modules.c: shortcuts for --intf work again, gvlc launches the
984 Gtk interface, qvlc launches the Qt interface, etc.
985 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: we now have sound together with --aout scope.
986 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: removed numerous
988 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: multicast under Win32 now works with the new
990 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: dvd and dvdread support
992 * ./src/input/*, ./plugins/network/*, ./plugins/access/*: Input III
993 (Episode 1). Major rewrite of the buffer core functions, modularity of
994 access plugins (file, udp, http), modularity of network stack (ipv4, soon
995 ipv6), autodetection of the type of stream.
996 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_headers.c: we no longer crash when the next
997 stream doesn't have the same image size as the previous one.
998 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c: another overrun fix; please test.
999 * ./configure.in: fixed a plugins/dsp.so compilation issue under OpenBSD.
1000 * ./plugins/dsp/aout_dsp.c: OpenBSD compilation fix.
1001 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault on exit.
1002 * ./src/input/input.c: BeOS network support (no idea if it works when you
1003 don't have BONE, though).
1004 * ./include/common.h: BeOS compile fixes.
1005 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: fixed BeOS video output.
1006 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed uninitialized variable in
1008 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: char pointers obtained by
1009 config_GetPszVariable need to be freed.
1010 * ./src/interface/main.c: forgot to add the declaration of server_port.
1011 * ./src/input/input.c: multicast now works under Win32, but this is a _bad_
1013 * ./include/threads.h: support for the State Threads Library, a userland
1014 threads library (http://state-threads.sourceforge.net/). Useless to most
1015 people, but can be handy to debug stuff. Activate with `--enable-st'.
1016 * ./plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c,
1017 ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: adaptation to new configuration scheme for dvd,
1019 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: removed CVS garbage.
1020 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: fixed a compile issue on IA64.
1021 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: new toy plugin, an audio scope module.
1022 * ./src/audio_output/aout_spdif.h: replacement header for aout_common.h.
1023 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: fixed a quite old bug in the audio
1024 output which made the sound stutter when wrapping around the audio output
1026 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: lots of simplifications in the audio
1027 output, got rid of b_stereo.
1028 * ./plugins/gtk/*: added a menu in the GTK and gnome interfaces to change
1029 the current program in multi-program streams (such as ones provided by a
1031 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: new configuration architecture for vlc.
1032 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: fixed array over-run bug in intf_MsgUnsub.
1033 * ./configure.in: don't try to grok altivec with mingw32.
1034 * ./configure.in: --with-directx-path should now indicate the path where the
1035 actual headers are (before the headers had to be in an include subdir). By
1036 the way you can download these header files from the videolan web site.
1037 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: if symbol foo isn't found in the
1038 plugin, we always try to open _foo, whatever the architecture.
1039 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: non-blocking patch from Sigmund Augdal
1040 <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>; hope this time my enhancements don't break
1042 * ./configure.in: gtk*-config detection fix for FreeBSD.
1043 * ./configure.in: removed a bashism.
1044 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for systems without shm.h.
1045 * ALL: QNX compilation fixes here and there; the qnx plugin still doesn't
1047 * ./Makefile: the win32 port now uses a more recent version of gtk+.
1048 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: the log window is now black with colourful text.
1049 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c: ported the log window to the GNOME interface.
1050 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: messages are sent to the queue even if
1051 -vvvv* wasn't specified.
1052 * ./plugins/vcd/cdrom_tools.c: MacOS X VCD support.
1053 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.: various fixes, thanks to Sigmund Augdal.
1054 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: rewrote an ugly loop.
1055 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: added a Gtk+ window containing all the log
1056 messages; updated in real time. To open it, go to "view"->"messages".
1057 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: got rid of TRACE and intf_DbgMsg which were
1059 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: all intf_*Msg functions now write to stderr.
1060 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: implemented a message queue interface plugins
1062 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: wrote the logger interface plugin. Usage:
1063 vlc -I logger:filename.log.
1064 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: lots of fixes in the SPU renderer.
1065 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a typo in aspect ratio
1067 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: MacOS X vout improvements.
1068 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_macosx.c: MacOS X intf now returns, allowing vlc to
1070 * ./Makefile: added a new make target: package-macosx.
1071 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: Win32 compilation fixes (mingw includes
1073 * ./configure.in: configure now checks for ddraw.h and not directx.h.
1074 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: don't include directx.h anymore (this
1075 file isn't part of the directx sdk).
1076 * ./plugins/waveout/waveout.c: moved all the stuff from aout_waveout.c
1077 directly into waveout.c (I don't know what I was thinking about when I
1078 created these two files ;-)
1079 * ./plugins/waveout/waveout.c: until we fix the audio buffer underrun
1080 problem, waveout will be the default audio output on win32 (instead of
1082 * ALL: got rid of *_Probe functions because most of them were duplicates
1083 of the real _Init or _Create functions. That's 1000 lines of code gained.
1084 * ./src/misc/modules.c: we try not to keep the global lock in module_Need,
1085 which should speed up output spawning.
1086 * ./plugins/dummy/input_dummy.c: fixed vlc:quit command.
1087 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: compilation fix.
1088 * ./plugins/macosx/*: preliminary fixes for the vout4 port.
1089 * ./plugins/gtk/*: Win32 fixes.
1090 * ./plugins/beos/*: BeOS fixes from Rudolf Cornelissen.
1091 * ./src/interface/main.c: --desync now really accepts a value in ms.
1092 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed a crash when not opening a VCD.
1093 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: fixed subtitles under BeOS and
1094 other architectures which don't support overlay.
1095 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: compilation fix (include stdint.h).
1096 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: fixed a SEGV.
1097 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: ported the BeOS RGB video output to
1098 vout4. The overlay video output still needs to be written though.
1099 * ./plugins/a52/*: just renamed the liba52_adec plugin into a52 to comply
1100 with the naming convention used by the other plugins.
1101 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: IR remote control plugin by Sigmund Augdal
1102 <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>, activate with --enable-lirc.
1103 * ./configure.in: put liba52_adec in a builtin for PIC/non-PIC reasons.
1104 * ./plugins/liba52_adec/*: new AC3 decoder plugin using liba52 from Aaron
1105 Holtzman and Michel Lespinasse. This plugin isn't used by default, you
1106 have to specify: --ac3_adec liba52.
1107 * ./src/misc/modules.c: changed module_Need to make it possible to
1108 have several modules with the same shortcut name.
1109 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_open.c: fixed a bug in the network dialog.
1110 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: added mstrtime() to module_symbols_t so we
1111 can compile the mpeg_vdec plugin with TRACE mode enabled.
1112 * ./plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c: fixed ac3_spdif which has been broken
1114 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: check frequency in ac3_adec and change fifo
1116 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: moved initialisation of p_aout from
1117 plugins to audio_output.c; if audio output rate is specified at launch
1118 time, we try to use it by default.
1119 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: MMX YUV to RGB transformation for 15bpp.
1120 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: added double-buffering for the directx
1121 plugin in overlay mode.
1122 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: several directx bug-fixes: implemented
1123 the right behaviour on exit, fixed bug preventing the creation of several
1124 windows (the wall filter is working now :-)), fixed unnecessary background
1125 redraws (it made the video flicker), fixed bug where we were losing the
1126 video display because of lost surfaces in video memory, when using hardware
1127 overlay, the output window will now specify "(using hardware overlay)".
1128 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: we don't use DPMS functions if they are
1130 * ./plugins/win32/waveout.c: added a new very simple audio plugin for
1131 Win32. This plugin uses the waveOut API which is a lot easier to use for
1132 streaming stuff than directsound. (you don't have to take care of
1133 underflows anymore because it doesn't use circular buffers). If you are
1134 having a lot of underflows, this plugin is currently better adapted than
1136 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: moved some initialization stuff in
1137 audio_out.c so we can know the caracteristics of the audio stream before
1138 calling aout_Open().
1139 * ./configure.in, Makefile: configure and Makefile tweaking for dvdread
1141 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: fixed a missing function initialization
1142 which made decoder plugins segfault in GetChunk calls.
1143 * ./configure.in: proper soundcard.h check from Yves Duret.
1144 * ./plugins/mpeg_adec/mpeg_adec.c: enabled --stereo option for streams that
1145 pretend to be mono while they are not.
1146 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: fixed an alignment issue in the ac3 decoder.
1147 * ./src/input/input_dec.c: decoders do not necessarily use bit stream (see
1149 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: mad PTS should finally be accurate.
1150 * ./configure.in: some configure changes.
1151 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: libmad_input now takes one frame at a time (see
1152 mad_adec.h for defines)
1153 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: audio_linear_dither() gives better sound
1154 quality then s24_to_s16_pcm(), but also makes audio artefacts louder so
1155 disabled it for now.
1156 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: cleaned up libmad_output.
1157 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: cleaned up InitThread.
1158 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.h: made buffer size match libmad's expectations.
1159 * ./plugins/mad/DESIGN: updated documentation.
1160 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed crashes on exit in the directx
1162 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: vout_PlacePicture is now accepting
1163 picture width=height=0.
1164 * ./configure.in: added extra checks for strange compilers such as
1165 Borland C++ which do not support all gcc options. Note that vlc does
1166 not compile with bcc32 yet, but is getting closer and closer to.
1167 * ./plugins/win32: skeleton for the win32 interface Ipkiss is developing.
1168 * ./config.guess ./config.sub: latest GNU versions.
1169 * ./configure.in: when possible, xvideo is compiled as a plugin.
1170 * ./vlc.spec: fixed a few minor inaccuracies.
1171 * ./debian/control: vlc-gui is no longer depended on, but rather recommended.
1172 * ./src/interface/main.c: --spumargin flag; use this to force displaying
1173 subtitles at the bottom of the screen instead of putting them in the
1174 middle, for instance: `--spumargin 5'.
1175 * ./plugins/qnx/qnx.c, ./plugins/macosx/macosx.c, ./plugins/beos/beos.cpp:
1176 converted the plugin initialization code of the macosx, beos and qnx
1177 code. (please note that they should still not compile as they need
1178 to be adapted to the new Vout4 architecture)
1179 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: major rewrite of the directx video
1180 plugin to adapt it to the new vout4 architecture. This plugin has also
1181 been through a major clean-up and it is now much more robust and optimized.
1182 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: fixed a few problems with the win32 build.
1183 * ./src/interface/main.c: replaced the "overlay" command line option with
1184 "nooverlay". The former was confusing and useless because overlays were
1185 used by default anyway.
1186 * ./vlc.spec: imported MandrakeSoft's new spec file.
1187 * ./debian/control: fixed build-dependencies for vlc-mad.
1188 * ./debian/rules: fixed the vlc-arts and vlc-mad package builds.
1189 * ./plugins/gtk/{gtk|gnome}.c: the gnome/gtk interface should no longer use
1190 p_input->stream before it has been initialized.
1191 * ./src/input/input.c: stream lock is initialized in input_CreateThread
1192 instead of initThread, to have it initialized when we call it in the
1194 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: added support for S8 and U16 aout.
1195 * ./debian/control: fixed Debian build-depends.
1196 * ./include/config.h: changed RELEASE to HAVE_RELEASE because RELEASE
1197 is already defined in <scsi/scsi.h> under Linux.
1198 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: fixed issues in the PTS handling of the mad
1199 plug-in (incomplete).
1200 * ./src/input/input_ext-dec.c: more precise way to retrieve a PTS from the
1202 * ./INSTALL.libmad: configure, build and install instructions for libmad
1203 library and mad plugin.
1204 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: smooth sound (not tested on iPaq).
1205 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.c: le coup de grâce: all the code in audio
1206 output is now factorized (except for ac3 spdif) in aout_common.c/.h.
1207 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.h: aout thread functions are declared with
1209 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: HUGE cleanings in audio output: removed
1210 AOUT_INTF_*_FIFO, which where not used.
1211 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.c: factored S16StereoPlay, U8MonoPlay, and
1212 so on.., in a single function aout_FillBuffer (unsigned 8bit may be broken,
1213 but I have no stream to test with :(
1214 * ./configure.in: a few fixes for the Win32 build.
1215 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed all the problems related to
1217 * ./src/misc/modules.c: fixed a compile issue under platforms without
1218 HAVE_DYNAMIC_PLUGINS.
1219 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: MacOS X port.
1220 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: 24/32 bpp software YUV.
1221 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: activated double buffering.
1222 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: we create more Xv pictures to
1223 get smoother rendering.
1224 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: removed aout_CreateFifo from mad_adec.c
1225 InitThread() and added it to mad_libmad.c.
1226 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: BSD compilation fix suggested by Steven M.
1228 * ./src/audio_output/aout_s16.c: beginning of code factorization in
1229 aout_s16 (more cleaning will come). As for libmad, I have tried to create
1230 the aout fifo in libmad_output, to open it with the right sample rate, but
1231 strangely it didn't work.
1232 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed a few segfaults caused by the dummy plugin.
1233 * ./plugins/mpeg_adec/mpeg_adec.c: fixed a segfault due to misuse of
1235 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: replaced XFlush with XSync. This must be the
1236 fourth time someone has to commit this, so I added a reminder :-)
1237 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/input_ts.c: hopefully fixed a bug in TS input, that
1238 caused a segfault when there was no network stream.
1239 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: BSD/OS port by Steven M. Schultz.
1240 * ./include/modules_inner.h: replaced _X with __VLC_SYMBOL because _X was
1241 already a system macro under MacOS X.
1242 * ./plugins/dummy/dummy.c: fixed vlc:loop, vlc:quit, etc. entries.
1243 * ./plugins/glide/glide.c: activated double buffering.
1244 * ./plugins/mga/xmga.c: started writing an xmga plugin; doesn't work yet.
1245 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed the input memory leak, and the insane thread
1246 spawning we got with vlc:loop.
1247 * ./src/misc/intf_eject.c: disc ejection routine courtesy of Julien Blache,
1248 currently Linux-only.
1249 * ./src/audio_output/aout_ext-dec.c: better communication between audio
1250 decoder and output: aout plugins are now opened directly in the right
1251 mode (works with mpeg_adec and ac3_adec, not tested with mad).
1252 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: first attempt to implement mono output
1254 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: DVDRead plugins works again more or
1255 less ; major bugs remain but it is usable. It is selected by default if
1256 you have it compiled.
1257 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_headers.c: fixed a bug in QuantMatrixExtension,
1258 many thanks to "Thomas L. Wood" <twood@lucent.com> !
1259 * ./debian/control: updated list of supported architectures.
1260 * ./share/*: added 16x16 and 32x32 versions of PNG icons.
1261 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: removed the mgammx module and put the code in
1262 the chroma_i420_ymga module instead. This introduces a slight
1263 performance issue as we now need to memcpy() the Y plane, but I have
1264 some vout4 enhancements on their way which make this point moot.
1265 * ./debian/changelog: imported official Debian changelog.
1266 * ./debian/control: activated the vlc-mad and vlc-arts packages; package
1267 builds should now work again.
1268 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: solved a symbol resolution issue when vlc was
1269 compiled without libdvdcss which overflowed the return stack.
1270 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: ported the GGI plugin to vout4.
1271 * ./plugins/glide/glide.c: ported the Glide plugin to vout4 (untested).
1272 * ./src/input/input.c: prepared everything for multi-input mode; since
1273 no interface is yet prepared to handle this, I changed them so that
1274 they just use the first available input for now. This may break other
1275 things, but I promise I'll eventually repair everything :-)
1276 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: pipeline and cache optimizations.
1277 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: MMX-accelerated version of the MGA plugin.
1278 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/Makefile: little workaround for PA-Risc compilation.
1279 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: optimized libmad_output() for smoother sound.
1280 It is still not optimal.
1281 * ./plugins/fb/fb.c: ported the framebuffer video output to vout4.
1282 * ./src/audio_output/aout_s16.c: fixed a segfault. It may have unexpected
1283 side effects because I don't know this part of the code, but at least
1284 it doesn't crash anymore.
1285 * ./plugins/beos/beos.cpp: first attempt at porting the BeOS plugin to the
1286 new video output and module systems. Doesn't work nor even compile yet.
1287 * ./configure.in: we now check the gtk-config version.
1288 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: we use the MGA_VID_FSEL ioctl to select the
1289 frame to be displayed. Unfortunately, increasing the number of
1290 frames doesn't seem to work and makes the picture stutter...
1291 * ./Makefile: fixed a bug when no builtins were selected.
1292 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: ported the MGA video output to vout4. Only does YV12
1293 for the moment, and there is a strange bug with some streams which gives
1294 only a green image. Needs to be looked at.
1295 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed a few typos.
1296 * ./plugins/mad/DESIGN: updated documentation.
1297 * ./plugins/mad/TODO: updated TODO list.
1298 * ./plugins/mad/BUGS: updated documentation.
1299 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.h: removed unused prototype from headerfile.
1300 * ./configure.in: fix for obscure architectures like hppa where target_os
1301 isn't properly detected.
1302 * ./include/video_output.h: got rid of pf_setpalette; I'll find a nicer way.
1303 * ./plugins/mga.c: fixed MGA module compilation. Doesn't work yet, though.
1304 * ./include/common.h: hton64 is now an inline function.
1305 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c et al.: vout4 now automatically
1306 detects when two chroma formats are the same, such as UYVY/Y422, or
1307 roughly equivalent, such as I420/YV12. Plugins need not worry about
1309 * ./BUGS: added a list of known bugs. Please add your findings!
1310 * ./MODULES: added a short description of each module. Maybe we should
1311 add more details to make this file really useful.
1312 * ./doc/bugreport-howto.txt: wishful thinking...
1313 * ./Makefile: added a workaround for the fact that .c files don't depend
1314 on <videolan/vlc.h>.
1315 * ./plugins/memcpy/memcpy.c: all memcpy modules are now built from the same
1317 * ./src/interface/main.c: added the --nommx, --no3dnow, --nommxext, --nosse
1318 and --noaltivec options to vlc.
1319 * ./configure.in: removed the --disable-mmx option, now useless because
1320 of the vlc --no* options.
1321 * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a crash caused by the memcpy module
1322 being released too early.
1323 * ./include/video.h: more vout4 changes, including margin support, more
1324 FOURCC formats recognized, transparent support of identical or almost
1325 identical FOURCC formats.
1326 * ./include/video_output.h: added a vout_Render function to video output
1327 modules which is to be executed before vout_Display.
1328 * ./include/common.h: this header is back.
1329 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed RGB conversion
1330 functions, mostly taken from vout3's yuv functions, but heavily modified
1331 to use FAST_MEMCPY and to handle image dimensions which are not multiples
1332 of 16. Not all functions have been written yet, though.
1333 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed YUV conversion
1334 functions, various targets such as 4:2:2 YUYV, YVYU, UYVY, or 2:1:1 YUYV,
1335 with accelerated MMX versions.
1336 * ./plugins/chroma/i422_yuy2.c: same as i420_yuy2.c but takes planar YUV
1337 4:2:2 pictures in input. With accelerated MMX versions as well. This plugin
1338 makes it possible to display 4:2:2 files on most video cards without the
1339 quality loss of 4:2:0 downsampling.
1340 * ./plugins/filter/*: thanks to the vout_Render function, all filters now
1341 output their data perfectly in sync.
1342 * ./plugins/dvdread/Makefile: fix to prevent unnecessary target rebuilds.
1343 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: support for YV12, UYVY, YUY2 and YVYU overlays.
1344 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for I420, YV12, YUY2 and Y211 overlays.
1345 * ./ChangeLog: imported the 0.2.92 changes, unrolled current CVS changes.
1346 * ./include/config.h et al.: this file is no longer generated.
1347 * ./include/video.h: we use the FOURCC definition of a chroma format to
1348 describe picture types (see http://www.webartz.com/fourcc/).
1349 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: compilation fix by Eyal Lebedinsky.
1350 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the XShm operations order.
1351 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: small optimizations.
1352 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: removed unused code.
1353 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: your old window position and size are now restored
1354 when you come out of fullscreen mode.
1355 * ./plugins/esd/esd.c: fixed detection of the esd plugin.
1356 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/input_ts.c: fixed the ts plugin's input type
1358 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the BadCursor error in the x11 and xvideo
1359 plugins. For real this time (unlike my 2001/08/03 fix :p).
1360 * ./plugins/filter/wall.c: made the wall filter work a bit better. It now
1361 spawns a 3x2 mosaic, but this will eventually be configurable, Ã la
1362 `--filter wall:3x3'.
1363 * ./plugins/arts/arts.c: fixed the aRts audio output plugin.
1364 * ./configure.in: removed duplicate function checks.
1365 * ./Makefile.modules: added extra magic so that the module Makefiles are now
1366 ridiculously simple. And I mean *simple*. Check it! This will make a
1367 possible switch to full autoconf/automake a lot easier.
1368 * ./include/modules_inner.h: added the vlc version name to the plugin
1369 symbols, to be sure we only load plugins with the same version number. A
1370 nasty consequence is that you need to rebuild your tree after midnight if
1371 you are using a CVS tree :-)
1372 * ./include/modules_export.h: got rid of modules_export.h by #defining
1373 exported functions in the same header as their prototype.
1374 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: added modules_inner.h and other commonly used .h
1375 files to common.h so there are less and less files to include, and renamed
1376 common.h to <videolan/vlc.h>.
1377 * ./src/misc/tests.c: first modifications to the module handling system
1378 towards my ultimate goal to get rid of the *_Probe functions. Got rid of
1379 TestMethod and TestCPU, as well as src/misc/tests.c.
1380 * ./plugins/chroma/yv12_rgb8.c, ./plugins/chroma/yv12_rgb16.c: wrote the
1381 chroma plugin handling functions. No YUV functions have been ported yet
1382 because it'ls a lot of work, but the core system works, I tried it with a
1383 naive yv12->rgb16 plugin (which will disappear when the real functions are
1385 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c: made a lot of functions one-liners to avoid
1386 wasting too many output lines.
1387 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: fixed a segfault in DVDInit.
1388 * ./plugins/gtk/fixfiles.sh: Added a fixfiles.sh script to be run after Glade
1389 has generated its C files.
1390 * ./plugins/kde/*: did some work on the KDE interface to make it suck a bit
1391 less. It still segfaults, but at least it runs and it looks less ugly.
1392 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: RGB SDL rendering works again, though in 16bpp
1394 * ./plugins/vcd/linux_cdrom_tools.c: made this file independent of any vlc
1395 structure so that it'll be easily put in a library. Maybe libdvdcss?
1396 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed VCD date display.
1397 * ./plugins/x11/*: merged vout_xvideo.c, vout_x11.c and vout_common.c into
1399 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: wrote non-Shm XVideo output.
1400 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: made X11 output work again. Still pretty unstable,
1401 only works for 16bpp.
1402 * ./po/fr.po: additional french translation. Any taker for the rest?
1403 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault when the allocated
1404 pictures were not direct buffers.
1405 * ./share/*: replaced 48x48 .xpm images with 32x32 ones to conform to Debian
1406 policy (Closes Debian bug #126939).
1407 * ./Makefile: removed the automatic ./configure launch when running
1408 `make all' for the first time.
1409 * ./plugins/filter/distort.c: --filter distort:ripple (Ok, ok, I promise it's
1411 * ./configure.in: fixed compilation with dvdcss disabled.
1412 * ./configure.in: fixed compilation with plugins disabled.
1413 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: removed useless
1414 variables in the VCD and DVD plugins.
1415 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed a function which was returning
1416 "struct foo" in the VCD plugin.
1417 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the old « XVideo eats more and more CPU »
1418 bug I mistakenly reintroduced in my first vout4 commit.
1419 * ./src/misc/modules: we now stop at the first ':' when looking for a module
1420 name, to easily pass information to the modules. Possible example:
1421 --vout sdl:software, implementation of such an option is left as an
1423 * ./plugins/filter/filter.c: merged filter_bob and filter_bob422 into
1424 filter_bob. Use --filter bob to deinterlace 422 into 420 as well.
1425 * ALL: factorized code common to most filters and the video output, optimized
1426 a few filters by aligning data and reading 64 bits at a time.
1427 * ./plugins/filter/transform.c, ./plugins/filter/distort.c: two new
1428 absolutely useless, CPU-eating, resource-wasting, but fun filters: enjoy
1429 `transform', which performs flips and 90° rotations, and `distort', which
1430 performs animated image effects (currently only a naive sine wave is
1431 implemented). Usage examples: --filter transform:hflip,
1432 --filter transform:vflip, --filter transform:90, --filter transform:180,
1433 --filter transform:270, --filter distort:wave.
1434 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: added missing XSync() in the XVideo plugin.
1435 * ./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: pathetic attempt at a 4:2:2 renderer and
1436 deinterlacer, combining the most awful line dropping techniques of both BOB
1437 and 422 to 420 downscaling. Don't worry, it should only survive for a
1439 * ./plugins/filter/wall.c: new stupid plugin: "--filter wall" for split-image
1440 playback :-) (will evolve into a real image wall plugin when I have time)
1441 * ./plugins/filter/bob.c, ./plugins/filter/invert.c: filter plugins. Not very
1442 polished (please don't look at how the dates are calculated!), but worth a
1443 try. Use the following flags: "--filter invert" for inverse video,
1444 "--filter bob" for BOB deinterlacing
1445 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: buffer choice optimizations - vout4
1446 should eat even less CPU now.
1447 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed aspect ratio handling.
1448 * ./src/interface/main.c: additional fixes for OSes with no gettext (thanks
1450 * ./configure.in: don't try to use gettext if we don't have GNU gettext. This
1451 may change in the future though (most GNU software seems to include a local
1452 copy of gettext in case the operating system doesn't provide it).
1453 * ./debian/rules, ./debian/control: added vlc-arts to the debian package
1455 * ./po/ru.po: (very old) russian translation courtesy of Valek Filippov
1457 * ./po/fr.po: fixed a charset issue in the french translation.
1458 * ./config.guess, ./config.sub: updated these files from GNU's latest
1460 * ./po/vlc.pot: added vlc.pot skeleton for translators.
1461 * ./src/interface/intf_channels.c, ./include/keystrokes.h: removed unused
1463 * ./include/common.h: put common_win32.h back into common.h -- it wasn't that
1464 big and we should not multiply header files.
1465 * ./src/interface/main.c: added gettext support by Thomas Graf
1466 <reeler@reeler.org>, may be broken on other platforms but we'll only see
1467 it when I'm finished with vout 4 :-)
1468 * ./src/video_output/*: new video output version 4, featuring direct to YUV
1469 buffer decoding, non-ugly subtitle blending, XVideo and SDL video output.
1470 * ./plugins/spudec/*: renamed spu_dec to spudec and mad_adec to mad to stay
1471 coherent with other plugins. Also, renamed mpeg to mpeg_system.
1472 * ./AUTHORS: added jobi.
1473 * ./plugins/x11/vout_common.c: factored code common to vout_x11.c and
1477 Mon, 31 Dec 2001 19:50:40 +0100
1479 * Added a missing call to DecoderError() in mpeg_adec.c.
1480 * Fixed a segfault in the aRts plugin.
1481 * Fixed a bug in DecoderError.
1482 * Next Generation Buffer Manager.
1483 * All decoders enter DecoderError() in case of error, even if they
1484 haven't allocated all their data. This prevents the input from getting
1485 stuck if a decoder has failed its initialization.
1486 * Backported lool's fix for the Gtk+ playlist crash.
1487 * If $DISPLAY isn't set, don't try to run the Gtk+ interface.
1488 * Fixed a segfault in input_dvd.c:DVDInit.
1489 * Fixed a PPC compilation issue.
1490 * Mouse wheel seek patch for XVideo courtesy of Peter Surda.
1492 * Backported a VCD crash fix from the main branch.
1493 * Fixed compilation with dvdcss disabled.
1494 * Bug fixes in the VCD input.
1495 * The SDL plugin now says whether we are using software or hardware YUV
1496 in its window title.
1497 * Added --with-dll-path option for my automated Win32 package builds.
1498 * Initialize SDL before opening the SDL audio output.
1499 * Prevent two SDL video outputs or audio outputs to be spawned at the
1500 same time to avoid ugly crashes.
1501 * TS input: bugfix in DecodePAT and minor optimizations elsewhere.
1502 * TS input: we now check that the contents of the PAT has changed
1503 before updating it, instead of just relying on its version number.
1504 * Disabled broken ALSA audio output. Closes Debian bugs #110869 and #119846.
1505 * Fixed build dependencies on libasound2-dev. Closes Debian bug #121057.
1506 * Changed configure.in so that libXv_pic is used instead of libXv.a when
1507 available. Closes Debian bug #111790.
1508 * CPU detection under BeOS.
1509 * Fixed XVideo port selection.
1510 * Fixed 4:2:2 software rendering.
1511 * Removed cruft I forgot in aout_alsa.c.
1512 * Minor compile fix under Hurd.
1513 * Fixed a potential segfault if the subtitle stream was encountered
1514 before the video stream.
1515 * Fixed potential compilation issues under eg. BSD/OS.
1516 * Fixed unnecessary target remake (recursive make is harmful !).
1517 * Fixed a potential BeOS linking issue.
1518 * Fixed a minor bug in input.c.
1519 * Fixed an issue in Makefile.dep causing to rebuild unnecessary files
1520 in the gtk/gnome plugins.
1521 * Removed cruft from configure.in.
1522 * Fixed major bugs in the PSI decoder.
1523 * Fixed possible segfault with --input.
1524 * Fix for EOF of ES-only streams.
1525 * MPEG-1 aspect ratio patch, courtesy of Vladimir Chernyshov
1526 <greengrass@writeme.com>.
1527 * Seeking patch for X11, courtesy of Peter Surda
1528 <shurdeek@panorama.sth.ac.at>.
1529 * Fixed a segfault on exit when no fast_memcpy module was found.
1530 * Workaround for a bug in the GLIBC dlopen() code.
1531 * Fixed win32 compilation.
1532 * New libmad plug-in, courtesy of Jean-Paul Saman. We now have sound on
1533 iPAQ Familiar Linux.

1637 * Corrected à long time bug (around 0.2.81 I think), that created a
1638 corruption in ifo data. This was the reason why some DVDs that worked with

1797 implying - performance boost ; - fixed the "Dual Prime Arithmetic" bug ;
1798 - 3DNow! motion compensation module.
1799 * AC3dec statistics do not show up with --enable-stats, because I doubt

1801 * Minor changes to the (non-working) ncurses interface.
1802 * Fixed a packet leak in DemuxPSI.
1803 * Added gnome.h check and cleaned the error messages in the configure script.

1843 libdvdcss. It will try to dlopen() libdvdcss at runtime, though,
1844 and will use the dummy functions only if it couldn't find a valid
1845 libdvdcss. This is probably only useful to package maintainers.
1846 * Made the remote command plugin usable even with no stream.
1847 * Fixed a deadlock in the remote command plugin.
1848 * Fixed a deadlock in the SPU decoder.
1849 * Minor bug fix to aout_directx.c.

1858 * Fixed a segfault in PSEnd in input_ps.c.
1859 * The video decoder thread is now also reniced to a lower priority on
1860 Win32 (like in the Linux version). This slightly increases the
1861 responsiveness of vlc.
1862 * Modified input_dvd so you can now go directly to the selected chapter
1863 when you change the title.
1864 * Implemented the Probe function in the Xvideo plugin. Xvideo is now the

1930 * The KDE UI compiles again but does not work yet.
1931 * ALSA plugin message corrections.

1948 code for a C function or variable.
1949 * Reenabled all the accelerated modules on Win32.
1950 * Bugfix for chapters change in DVD.
1951 * A few bug fixes for the directx plugin.
1952 * Removed the custom usleep function for win32 as we don't really need

1954 * Elementary Stream input plugin (use it with --input es). Only works with
1955 video streams at the moment.
1956 * Added command line option '--stdout <filename>' which redirects stdout
1957 and stderr to the specified file. This option should mainly be useful

1976 spawn new threads for me, maybe someone will have better luck.
1977 * Makefile optimizations.
1978 * Automatic build of libdvdcss if not found.
1979 * The DVD netlist no longer stops when the fifo is empty ; it just waits

1992 * Added LPCM support. It should work with stereo LPCM.
1993 * Fixed a warning when compiling main.c.
1994 * Checked that OS supports SSE instructions on PIIIs (to avoid illegal
1995 hardware instructions on Linux 2.2.x).
1996 * Fixed a bug in synchro reinitialization: we no longer have a shift each
1997 time we restart the synchro (for SCR discontinuity for instance)
1998 * In DVD mode, we reinit the synchro only if the SCR are not continuous
1999 (instead of each cell).

2348 MediaPlayer compatible interface
2349 * Added YUV-YCbCr transforms
2350 * Fixed bugs in title/chapter handling once more, especially for size
2351 detection and location of main movie.
2352 * Support for multitrack DVD : now the stream is given to input as it has
2353 to be ; however, all the tracks are displayed one after the other ; I
2354 think we need to decode navigation ES to choose the track
2355 * Fixed behaviour at end of device.
2356 * Added DVD/VCD button and menu for quick DVD device selection to the
2357 Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces, so that vlc can play a DVD even when

2363 * Fixed Build-dpends entry in debian/control (Closes Debian bug #83707).
2364 * Completely changed title and chapter initialization. Now we have real
2366 * Fixed size for a majority of DVD.
2367 * More consistency in the p_input->stream management.
2368 * Made input_SelectES() and input_UnselectES() not block the input thread
2370 * Changed debian/control to fix Debian bug #83707

2380 * New function for DVD reading, that is able to read multiple blocks
2381 (I've chosen 32 now), that doesn't use any memcpy anymore and is also much
2382 faster. It is ready now for cell positioning in multi-angle DVD (to come
2384 * DVD specific netlist adapted to 2048 bytes long blocks that contain
2385 several data_packets.
2386 * Modification in mpeg_system.c to use p_payload_start instead of
2387 p_buffer (necessary for DVD plugin). It does not break other plugins
2388 since they set p_payload_start to p_buffer
2389 * New field i_read_once in input_thread_s to be able to read more than
2390 the TS related 7 packets ; i_read_once is set to INPUT_READ_ONCE by
2391 defaults but plugins can change it during initialisation.
2392 * Bug fix with frequential downmix
2393 * Additional optimizations to the subtitle decoder
2394 * The GGI video output should now be faster. Also, right-mouse-clicking
2395 works in GGI mode as well.

2397 decoding time, not rendering time. The main loop in vout_RenderSPU
2398 is now 20 lines long.
2399 * The Gtk+ interface is now built as a Debian package as well. The Gnome
2400 package depends on it because of the icon and menu entry.
2401 * Added an intf_WarnHexDump() function to do raw hexadecimal dumps of
2402 memory areas. For debugging purposes or for real men, as you wish.
2403 * Lots of tidying in dvd_ioctl.c, a few comments added.
2404 * Better error handling in the subpicture decoder.
2405 * Tidied video_spu.c. More to come later.
2406 * Fixed subtitle displaying. Will soon work in overlay mode as well.
2407 * Disabled slice-level resynchro since it's probably buggy.
2408 * Fixed a structural major bug in the macroblock structure management.
2409 * Added debug messages.
2410 * Fixed a compile problem in debug mode.
2411 * Added functions and hooks to display dates instead of off_t.
2412 * Added a 'd' keystroke to dump the stream contents (for debugging
2414 * New ES detection based on .ifo for DVD module. It might fail (I have
2415 found one DVD for which ifo seems false).
2416 * Title and chapter selection on the command line (see -t and -T options)
2417 It will allow to watch some DVD that went through menus by default.
2418 * Beginning of menus in gnome interface.
2419 * Fix bug in ac3dec for mono streams
2420 * BeOS: new video output method, the vlc now uses BBitmap instead of
2421 BDirectWindow (better performances)
2422 * BeOS: added resizing
2423 * BeOS: added beta support for overlay
2424 * Added a plain Gtk+ port of the Gnome interface, for the gnome-impaired
2425 people. Gtk+ is now compiled by default, while Gnome isn't (you will
2426 have to add --enable-gnome when running configure)
2427 * Replaced -lcurses with -lncurses in configure.in.
2428 * Added DemuxPSI, DecodePAT and DecodePMT. Never tested which streams
2429 where PAT or PMT are splitted in more than one section.
2432 Fri, 2 Mar 2001 17:32:24 +0100
2434 * DVD plugin is still non-functional when you don't have DVD ioctls,
2435 but at least it compiles under BeOS as well.
2436 * Minor cosmetic changes here and there.
2437 * Added the BeOS code for vlc_mutex_destroy() and vlc_cond_destroy()
2438 * Minor optimizations in the video decoder.
2439 * Move ac3 globals variables into structures
2440 * Fixed a bash-ism in configure.in
2441 * Fixed a segfault in input.c when no input plugin was found for
2443 * Fixed a deadlock in the Gnome interface. Next time I'll initialize
2444 my mutexes, I promise.
2445 * Added Oct to the authors list in intf_gnome.glade :)
2446 * Second step in area management ; everything is in place now to have
2447 title handling; it is coming :)
2448 * Ported Glide and MGA plugins to the new module API. MGA never worked,
2449 so this didn't make it work better.
2450 * Started thinking about built-in modules, and added some code to
2451 make it easier eventually.
2452 * Added Oct in the AUTHORS file.
2453 * Fixed a mistake in configure.in.
2454 * All your base are belong to us.
2455 * Fixed a bug in src/misc/modules which prevented loading modules
2456 when launched from the Tracker.
2457 * Fixed a similar bug in src/video_output/video_text.c.
2458 * BeOS CSS support, thanks to Markus Kuespert <ltlBeBoy@beosmail.com>
2459 who ported the Linux DVD ioctls. We can now read encrypted DVDs
2460 under BeOS ! Woohoo.
2461 * First serie of changes in DVD module for the forthcoming interface menus.
2462 There is a new capability in input type modules for setting the
2463 attributes of a new area. It is set to NULL for PS and TS plugins.
2464 It should be called for every title change, chapter change,
2465 audio mode change or spu channel change.
2466 * Kludge of the kludge, removing an oddity in YUV initialisation, and
2467 activating YUV overlay on startup whenever hardware acceleration is
2468 available. Thanks for bearing with us, stay tuned.
2470 * Changed video decoder's error messages into warnings.
2472 * Drag and drop support under BeOS.
2473 * Change in the code to detect beginning of movie. It is much better now
2474 but still fails with some DVD for which the movie is not the first
2476 * Beginning of ideas to handle chapters and ES selection
2477 * configure.in and Makefile.in patches for better SDL support and
2478 support for $(bindir) $(datadir) and $(libdir) stuff, courtesy
2479 of Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <misiek@pld.ORG.PL>
2480 * Ported ggi.so to the new modules API. As for the other modules, only
2481 the "q" key works. Moreover, VLC doesn't exit cleanly if you close the
2483 * Deactivated non-working widgets in the Gnome interface.
2484 * Added CONTRIBUTORS file.
2485 * Ported the framebuffer plugin to the new module API. As for most of the
2486 other video output modules, keyboard doesn't work. Except ^C to quit.
2487 * UDF filesystem support so that we know the location of the first video
2488 related file with 100% reliability (great change that should make DVDs
2489 with binaries and extra stuff work with vlc).
2490 * Correction of a bug in ifo reading that falsified the adress of
2492 * Changed the method for selecting title at start. It is _not_ reliable
2493 though, but it is better than the preceding one.
2494 * Tried to fix the BeOS interface and video output. Any BeOS developers
2495 listening ? I can't even test that code, it probably wants additional
2497 * Added a workaround in modules.c for broken libc's which happen to truncate
2498 filenames in dentry structures when using 64bits offsets. The kind of
2499 stuff you only see in RedHats <g>.
2500 * Made the SDL error messages a bit more useful.
2501 * The Gnome menu is now created when mouse is released, not when it
2502 is pressed. It may sound stupid, but it really makes a difference.
2505 Fri, 16 Feb 2001 08:09:59 +0100
2507 * Fixed package building (both RPMs and .debs).
2508 * Fixed `make snapshot' rule.
2509 * Added some magic to filename detection. To read a DVD you now just
2510 need to run 'vlc dvd:/dev/hdc' for instance. Same for file:// URIs.
2511 * Fixed a segfault in the slider when no stream was playing.
2512 * Made the slider go from 0 to 100 (instead of 99 :)
2513 * The vlc now doesn't exit when finished playing. As a side effect of
2514 the playlist code being very recent, it continuously loops.
2515 * Fixed a segfault in the input thread creation, as well as a possible
2516 deadlock. This happened mostly when opening non-existing files.
2517 * Created input_SetStatus to do input_SetRate's job. input_SetRate will
2518 be used to set an arbitrary rate, for people who want to read DVDs at
2519 1/2.71828 times the actual speed.
2520 * Stubs for the ncurses control interface. No working code yet, but the
2521 holes just need to be filled.
2522 * Improved X11 support. Still not as functional as before.
2523 * The output window now states the method name, so that people know whether
2524 they are using X11 or SDL.
2525 * The Gnome interface is now drag'n'drop aware, you can drop a file
2526 on it just like Xine does (or so I guess).
2527 * New more recent css authentication code.
2528 * Beginning of udf support (not in Makefile)
2529 * Removed useless includes in intf_gnome.c
2530 * Made the vout_sdl.c functions static
2531 * Ported vout_x11.c to the modules API; code isn't very nice yet though
2532 * X11 output works again. It's just the output, but it works; I now need
2533 to clean the code and add event handling.
2534 * Should have fixed the dependency generater for some plugins.
2537 Wed, 14 Feb 2001 08:33:46 +0100
2539 * Started porting the X11 vout (still disabled)
2540 * A few unnoticeable changes in the Gnome intf
2541 * Changes in the way stream size in DVD mode is calculated. It is no
2542 longer such an ugly kludge and is much more accurate.
2543 * Changes in DVDSeek so that the interface slider is in 0 when we are at
2544 the beginning of the strem.
2545 * Try to detect the beginning of the movie in the middle of the title. It
2546 works for most of the DVDs but will begin in the middle of the movie
2548 * Calculate only the first title key in css mode because it might take a
2549 long time with some title. The search stops now when we have a key once
2550 whereas it did stop only when we had it twice before. It should not
2552 * Really fixed MC segfault bug.
2553 * Adaptation of DVD module to navigation slider. The seek has to be
2554 done on a multiple of 2048, and shopuld take care of the offset to the
2555 beginning of the stream. It works with most of my DVDs by fails to
2556 detect size of some streams.
2557 * Change of the order of call to ifo and css functions in input_dvd.c,
2558 because we can't read ifo files before authentification on some DVDs.
2559 * Changed location of some css tables.
2560 * We read ifo date and decrypt css keys for all titles now. It takes quite a
2561 long time to initialize with some DVDs (if you have 42 titles for
2562 instance). The key decryption might give a false value if the title is
2563 less than 10 Mb ; I'm working on that :)
2564 * Quick patch to avoid a segfault when arbitrarily seeking the stream.
2565 * Added --intf option to vlc
2566 * Started cleaning vout_sdl.c
2567 * The dummy plugin works again
2568 * Added a slider to the Gnome interface so that we can browse through streams
2569 * Removed enhancement because of an incompatibility with slow motion.
2570 * We can now seek at position 0 :p ;
2571 * Tried to enhance picture dating on timebase discontinuities.
2573 * Much cleaning in css code. It should work fine now.
2574 * Fixed my old stupid bug that disabled sound after having played the
2575 first playlist item.
2576 * Added `Prev' and `Next' buttons to the interface, with the beginning of
2577 a playlist window (still empty).
2578 * Added `Slow' and `Fast' buttons to the interface and popup menu.
2579 * Removed tests against i_rate and i_new_rate calculation from the
2580 plugins and hid this complexity into input_ext-intf.c
2581 * The pure Gnome part of the Gnome interface has been rewritten from
2582 scratch, and the .glade file included as well. You can edit it by
2583 installing glade-gnome and doing `glade plugins/gnome/intf_gnome.glade',
2584 or directly by hand if you grok XML.
2585 * Files can now be loaded into vlc using the `Open' buttons. But for the
2586 moment you still have to launch vlc with at least one file, because it
2587 quits when the end of the playlist is reached.
2588 * Idle screen was disabled because it eats a lot of CPU and is mostly
2589 useless for the moment. And it gets activated when pause lasts for too
2591 * Plugins have completely disappeared, we now only use the new module API.
2592 * All intf and vout modules are now independant. So far, only the Gnome
2593 intf module and the SDL vout module have been ported. configure.in has
2594 been modified to reflect the changes (x11 and dummy aren't compiled by
2595 default anymore, while SDL and Gnome are).
2596 * Right-clicking on the SDL video output window brings the Gnome menu.
2597 * Pause, Play, Exit, About work from the menu or from the interface window.
2598 * The old SDL keys still work.
2599 * Fixed a bug in #define that prevented from using ioctls
2600 * Some functions to prepare ifo commands utilisation to move in the
2602 * Change in configure to avoid compiling css functions on BSD.
2603 * Added comments to src/interface/intf_plst.c and include/intf_plst.h
2604 so that people understand how the playlist works.
2605 * Updated the TODO list (34 items to do, 41 done !)
2606 * Portability : changed off64_t to off_t and activated appropriate
2608 * Changed fseek() to fseeko() for 64-bit offsets ;
2609 * Reset frame predictors on a stream discontinuity.
2610 * Implemented basic stream navigation function, and bound Jump forward
2611 and jump Backward in the SDL intf. Enjoy !
2612 * Pause function implemented ('p' key).
2613 * Fixed a compile probleme on machine without a dvd player :ppppp
2614 * Fixed two bugs in ifo and css that caused memory corruption and
2615 segfault when using sdl in dvd mode.
2616 * Moved the playlist handling from input/input.c to interface/interface.c
2617 * Fixed a few warnings at compile-time.
2618 * Fixed sound channel selection in playlist mode.
2619 * Added a color message in the plugin bank because on peut bien déconner
2620 cinq minutes, quand-même.
2621 * We now spawn a new input thread for each file.
2622 * Added a missing pf_close() because it's always cool to close files
2624 * Solved bug with cssdescrambling. The vlc might segfault with dvd
2625 plugins. I will fix that soon.
2626 * Minor modification in pluginification.
2627 * Playlist works again (still the old wrong way like Meuuh doesn't
2628 like, but this is going to change within a few hours)
2629 * Input_ps, input_ts and input_dvd are now plugins, located in
2630 plugins/mpeg/ and plugins/dvd/
2631 * Fast/slow keys are now A/Z instead of A/S since S was already
2632 linked to the scale/noscale toggle.
2633 * `--dvd' doesn't work anymore, for the moment try to use :
2634 vlc --input dvd /dev/dvd
2635 * Module bank is now less verbose ; use `--warn 1' to turn back
2637 * New method using netlist to read packets on DVD device by sectors of
2639 * Some modifications in netlist to make it work with DVD.
2640 * Fixed à bug in mpeg_system.c
2641 * We can now choose the speed of forward (between 32/1 and 1/8)
2642 * Functional fast forward and slow motion API ;
2643 * Dirty hack in the SDL intf to bind "a" (fAst forward), "s" (Slow motion)
2645 * Centralized clock management, preparing for stream navigation ;
2646 * Fixed a bug in the management of the first video PTS.
2647 * Fixed a bug in period calculation for progressive sequences.
2648 * Fixed a FIXME in SDL: p_vout->p_sys is no more used in intf_sdl.c
2649 * Used instead p_vout->i_changes like in x11
2650 * Disabled SDL parachute to let the vlc dump a core instead of staying stuck
2651 * Patched 2 debian bugs
2652 (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=vlc)
2653 * Improved the snapshot generation
2654 * Mouse pointer hidden/shown with middle button in SDL output
2655 * Removed obsolete video_yuv_mmx.S
2656 * Updated the TODO list and wrote a small todo.pl parser to make it
2657 easier to see which items remain to be done
2658 * `make snapshot' now creates vlc-*.tar.gz and vlc-*-nocss.tar.gz
2661 Wed, 31 Jan 2001 04:30:37 +0100
2663 * Version 0.2.50 for the Linux Expo
2664 * --overlay and --fulscreen options (only work with --vout sdl)
2665 * The vlc exits after the end of the stream, which prevents from having
2666 to kill it and relaunch it during a presentation.
2667 * Not a very nice hack, but will probably spare us a few user complaints: if
2668 no -a option is specified, the vlc will play the first audio type it finds,
2669 so there is no need to specify "-a ac3" for a DVD anymore.
2670 * CSS support kludged for current DVD input.
2671 It is very slow now but will be more adapted to the forthcoming DVD
2673 It should read the first title of many DVDs but has been tested with few.
2674 * Beginning of ifo commands to implement DVD navigation.
2675 * Fix for field pictures.
2676 * Hooks for fast forward and slow motion support.
2677 * Fixed backwards moves.
2678 * Tuned up optimizations.
2679 * Completely removed BIZARRE_OPTIMS.
2680 * Check for the needed headers for DVD ioctls
2681 * Some cleaning in the dvd authentification code
2682 * Various miscellaneous minor optimizations of the video parser.
2683 * Beginning of support for encrypted DVDs.
2684 * It only tests encryption and authenticates disc.
2685 * Really fixed GetChunk now.
2686 * 32-bit aligned bitstream (not that fast).
2687 * The motion compensation routines are now modules as well ; choose your
2688 implementation with `--motion motion', `--motion motionmmx' or
2689 `--motion motionmmxext'. Of course, the best implementation is chosen
2690 if you don't ask for any. There doesn't seem to be any performance hit
2691 due to the move to shared libs, which is a good thing. Please test
2692 actively if you have time, though.
2693 * Updated --help result, manpage, INSTALL document, and a few files.
2694 * Borrowed LiViD's MMX and MMX EXT IDCT. This might break things. Expect
2695 a performance increase.
2696 * Removed a few useless malloc() and unused variables in the audio SDL stuff
2697 * Prepared the work for built-in modules (not yet finished)
2698 * Small tweak in the copy handling, reduce CPU usage.
2699 * --aout sdl now works
2700 * Added SDL sound support. Sounds a bit laggy sometimes but my streams
2701 are ill. please try.
2702 * Modified configure.in and all that stuff. Re-run configure
2703 * SDL audio, video and interface are all part of the same .so now.
2704 * Removed YUV old files :->
2705 * Reverted something that wasn't supposed to go into the cvs :p
2706 * Removed -fargument-noalias-global which causes problems with as (???).
2707 * Borrowed livid's latest libmmx and MMXEXT MC. Not in the Makefile => to
2708 test it, replace vdec_motion_inner_mmx.c by vdec_motion_inner_mmxext.c.
2709 * A few changes in the CPU extensions detection code, borrowed from the
2710 kernel and from mpeg2dec. I still don't know how to detect if code
2711 compiled with -mcpu=pentiumpro will run, since the cpuid arcanes are
2712 quite obtuse to me. Perhaps we should also have a way not to load modules
2713 if they have been compiled with a different CPU to avoid segfaults.
2714 * Add check for MMX EXT extensions, which doesn't work, which is a good
2715 thing since there is no MMX EXT IDCT yet :)
2716 * Change for the forthcoming fast forward and slow motion support.
2717 * Fixed the --aout, --idct and --yuv flags
2718 * Updated manpage and --(long)help output to reflect that change
2719 * Removed a few unneeded #includes here and there
2720 * Cosmetic changes in error messages in input.c
2721 * Now use of 64 bits offsets to parse the whole DVD. So we have all the
2722 available information
2723 * Fixed a bug in parsing of VTS attributes
2724 * Fixed a bug in input.c that made input plugin initialize even though
2725 no stream is reachable (thanks Sam)
2726 * Merged the YUV plugins in the same directory to avoid too much code
2728 * YUV transformations now use the new module API ; now only the vout
2729 and interface still depend on the old plugin API
2730 * Changed TestMMX to TestCPU because we will be able to test for other
2731 specific extensions (3DNow, SSE) for the forthcoming IDCT we'll
2732 borrow to mpeg2dec (as usual :P)
2733 * Don't show "hiding module" messages anymore except in debug mode
2734 * Swapped C IDCT and Classic IDCT scores since the classic one seems
2735 to be faster ; anyway you should use the MMX one
2736 * Fixed a Makefile bug under BeOS
2737 * Tried to fix the cpuid code so that it compiles under BeOS (Polux, can
2738 you test it when you have time ?)
2739 * Fixed a bug in the frame rate handling ;
2740 * Fixed a bug in the DTS/PTS ordering. Our pts are _at last_ accurate.
2741 * Finally fixed repeat_first_field and co. (pas encore tout compris...)
2742 * Implemented video_parser bitstream callback for PTS/DTS.
2743 * Fixed close button support in SDL
2744 * Fixed --width and --height support in SDL
2745 * Fixed the bug-that-made-the-vlc-segfault-on-exit, which means that
2746 more than ever, « le client ne segfaulte pas ».
2747 * There was still a problem upon quitting: sometimes the null packet
2748 wasn't big enough to reach a decoder breakpoint, so I now create 10
2749 of them (since I can't make it bigger) to be sure. Meuuh, what do
2751 * Fixed the Makefile to spare a few variables here and there.
2752 * Reduced module hide delay, removed loading of the audio output
2753 plugins since they are now modules.
2754 * Changed a few intf_Msg to intf_DbgMsg, and added "vout:", "intf:",
2755 and so on in a few other messages.
2756 * Removed unused includes in the idct modules.
2757 * Correction of bugs in ifo parsing. Now the structures should be well
2758 initialized. It remains some segfaults but it globally works.
2759 * DVD mode is enabled with option --dvd. For the moment, it only read
2760 the first vts and find the movie if it is at the beginning of the title
2762 * Beginning of dvd_input. Parsing of ifo file almost completed.
2763 * The IDCT functions are now located in modules : the classic IDCT,
2764 our optimized IDCT, and MMX IDCT.
2765 * Cosmetic changes for modules (pf_* instead of p_*)
2766 * Fixes to the BeOS and dummy modules
2767 * Changed default values :
2768 INPUT_PTS_DELAY down to 200 ms ;
2769 video heap down from 10 to 5 pictures ;
2770 decoder fifo size from 1023 to 511 PES ;
2771 * Fixed various bugs in 32 bit-versions of input_ext-dec.h ;
2772 * Fixed a bug in GetChunk() ;
2773 * Renamed GetByte, GetWord, ShowWord to _GetByte, _GetWord, _ShowWord ;
2774 * Moved decoder_fifo-specific code from programs.c to dec.c ;
2775 * Fixed bugs in program.c that prevented vlc to close all decoders ;
2776 * Gave sam a lesson for the use of the bitstream in spu_decoder.c :ppp ;
2777 * Made the video parser unlock the reference pictures before quitting
2778 (still one left, yaknow why ?)
2779 * Destroy fifo mutex and cond variables _after_ they are used for
2780 the last time. henri, that'll be one binouze.
2781 * Attempt to port the BeOS audio plugin to the new module API. Will
2782 probably need a few fixes to work or even compile.
2783 * Ported the alsa plugin to the news vlc module API
2784 * Fixed 32 bits bitstream bugs.
2785 * Moved the MPEG audio decoder to the new bitstream
2786 * Cleaning in the SPU decoder.
2787 * Moved swab32 from input_ext-dec.h to common.h. We probably won't need
2788 it anymore really soon, since ntohl() and htonl() seem to be properly
2789 optimized when gcc is passed the right optimization flags.
2790 * Fixed GetBits32 and RemoveBits32. I know the #ifdefs are useless since
2791 we only support u32 words, but it's a safe reminder. Comments appreciated
2792 on this fix since I may have b0rked something -- it runs well here though.
2793 * Changed code for handling b_die in bitstream ;
2794 * Moved input_ext-dec.h to input.h ;
2795 * New input_NullPacket function ;
2796 * Fixed init bugs in input and vpar ;
2797 * Placed a callback to the decoder in the bitstream structure ;
2798 * Fixed a purify bug in input_ps.c ;
2799 * Added -mcpu=pentiumpro in the Makefile.
2800 * Complete commenting of modules_core.h and small modifications
2801 * Separated MODULE_CONFIG_START and ADD_WINDOW (Henri, beware)
2802 * Fixed a very, very old bug that caused namespace collision between
2803 plugins (Henri, beware: call your aout_getplugin function like this,
2804 not alsa_aout_getplugin)
2805 * Removed the Debian specific clean rules from the Makefile, since they
2806 are already handled by the debian/rules script.
2807 * Tidied a few compilation rules (-lfoo should always be at the end)
2808 * Added 8bits palette SDL support.
2809 * Fixed a warning under FreeBSD (dlerror() is a const char*, not a char*).
2810 * Made configure script look for the bswap assembly instruction (using
2811 AC_TRY_COMPILE makes sure the compiler will really accept it).
2812 * Fixed colors' bug (TODO: write a function in vout that recalculate colors
2814 * Cleaning of the fullscreen switch, still sucks but the surface is not
2815 reallocated and that's good (thanks to the magic function
2816 SDL_WM_ToggleFullScreen provided by sdl library :).
2817 * Added a missing mutex_unlock in video_output.c
2818 * Moved a mutex_destroy after the thread cancellation to prevent
2820 * Added a missing #ifdef in intf_msg.c which prevented compilation
2822 * Fixed a bug in the input that prevented to quit properly in certain
2823 cases (some ES were not deleted because their index was skipped when
2824 the former one was deleted, well Meuuh should know what I mean)
2825 * Cleaning of SDL Lock/Unlock Surface.
2826 * All plugins now compile with -fPIC.
2827 * Made the audio_output API a bit simpler.
2828 * Got rid of modules_config.h.
2829 * Fixed `make install' rule.
2830 * Fixed warnings in the MMX YUV compilation.
2831 * Probably fixed a bug in the input : pp_foo structures were free()d at
2832 the end, but this was useless since the last call to realloc() is
2833 equivalent to free(), and two consecutive calls to free() aren't a
2835 * We check that the version number match and that we don't already have
2836 a module by that name when loading a new module.
2837 * All public module_* functions now properly lock the module bank.
2838 * The audio_output now uses the new module API ; EsounD and DSP modules

2858 * Added the Null Module, the module that does nothing but that is going
2859 to be of great help for debugging my module code.
2860 * Plugins are now called modules, because we will be able to compile
2861 them either as a dynamic plugin, or within the program. And, more
2862 important, I can commit this without having to break the vlc :)
2864 * video_output.c : compute picture size even if b_need_render == 0;

2866 grrrr, I'll kill someone) ;
2867 * Put config.h in front of others in audio_decoder.c.
2868 * Better display of the fps.

2910 * Removed all arbitrary limits on the number of elementary streams.
2911 * Removed b_die and b_error from all decoders (obsoleted by decoder_fifo_t).
2912 All decoders should now exit cleanly (if it's not the case, it should be
2913 referenced as a bug).
