85 * ./include/configuration.h: changed ADD_BOOL and ADD_BOOL_WITH_SHORT config
86 macros to accept a default value as an argument.
87 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: modified the command line parsing to accept
88 --foo and --no-foo when a "foo" boolean config option is defined.
89 * ./src/interface/main.c: modified the help menu to indicate whether the
90 option is enabled or disabled by default.
91 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: when the video output hasn't received
92 a new picture for a while, it redisplays the last displayed one. This will
93 be useful for DVD menus, but also solves the "picture becomes black when
95 * ./plugins/dummy/dummy.c: added a CATEGORY_HINT to the config.
96 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: small change to the ToggleFullscreen routine
97 to avoid a flickering during the switch.

117 mpeg_system.c and no longer in ac3 audio decoder).
118 * src/misc/netutils.c: tests if message from vlcs begins with 'E:' or 'I:'
119 instead of testing 'E: ' and 'I: ' (to simplify miniVLCS).

129 transformations, with the help of Pascal Levesque.
130 * ./plugins/directx/directx.c: UnregisterClass() in MODULE_DEACTIVATE. If
131 we don't do this, trying to use the class when the plugin is reloaded will
133 * win32: replaced TUpDown components by TCSpinEdit ones, which allow
134 values greater than 32767. It fixes the audio bug ocurring when a
135 configuration file is saved under the win32 interface
136 * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: Added some extra space between
137 statusbar and toolbar when nothing is displayed.
138 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: on win32 the logger interface shows up a dos
140 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c: fixed uninitialized variable
141 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: simplified GtkRebuildCList()
142 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: changes to reduce segfaults on exit,
143 and also allow only one Playlist window.
144 * ./include/modules_inner.h: fixed a crash when reopening a hidden
146 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: on Win32 the DVD access plugin has to be
147 explicitly requested. This avoids crashes when the input thread tries
148 to open files as dvds.
149 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: fixed a side-effect bug causing crashes
151 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.c: margin support for the 420 planar to 422
152 packed chroma transformations.

164 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: added an option to disable the dynamic range
166 * ./Makefile.opts.in: removed configuration stuff which does not need to
167 rebuild anything to Makefile.config, so that editing it will not cause
169 * ./plugins/beos/VideoWindow.h, ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: improved
170 Overlay and Bitmap output modes.
171 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.m, ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.m: removed
173 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_controller.[mh]: you can now drag & drop files onto
174 the vlc dock icon. CFBundleDocumentTypes in Info.plist doesn't seem to have
175 any effect, so you'll have to hold down command-option when dropping until
177 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: removed previous patch to the video
178 output since it causes problems for some people.
179 * ./plugins/macosx/*: worked around a bug in seeking.
180 * ./include/threads_func.h: OS X port now uses real-time threads.
181 * ./configure.in: fixes for ffmpeg and mad.
182 * ./extras/MacOSX/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib/objects.nib: OS X intf
183 is now more consistent with Apple guidelines.

190 * ./plugins/satellite/input_satellite.c: cosmetic changes in error messages.
191 * ./plugins/gtk/*: gtk and gnome interfaces now use frequency and symbol
193 * ./BUGS: removed fixed entries.
194 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: initialize p_spudec->p_vout to NULL to
195 prevent segfaults if InitThread does not complete.
196 * ./plugins/text/rc.c: on win32 the rc plugin opens a new console.
197 * ./plugins/filters/*: filters were using memalign but freeing p_data instead
199 * ./extras/Win32_msvc/vlc.dsp: updated MSVC++ project.
200 * ./src/interface/main.c: small corrections to the LONGTEXT descriptions in
202 * ./AUTHORS: a few additions.
203 * ./vlc.spec: updates, courtesy of Yves Duret <yves.duret@mandrakesoft.com>.
204 * ./configure.in: new --with-ffmpeg option for standard installations.
205 * ./src/interface/main.c: updated long descriptions.
206 * ./plugins/dummy/intf_dummy.c: on win32 the dummy interface plugin will
207 open a dos command box. With this fix, vlc should never fail silently and
208 leave a ghost process running in the background when there isn't any
210 * ./include/config.h: on win32 DVD/VCD_DEVICE defaults to to D:.
211 * ./src/interface/main.c: added a few *_LONGTEXT descriptions.
212 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/video_parser.c: moved the mpeg-motion and mpeg-idct
213 options to the mpeg_vdec plugin.
214 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: mark subpictures destroyed when we end
216 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c: desperate attempt to improve audio output.
217 * ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml, ./doc/vlc.1, ./README.MacOSX.rtf: updated
219 * ./INSTALL.win32: updated INSTALL.win32.
220 * ./plguins/directx/vout_directx.c, ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: a little
221 bit of clean-up in the directx video output plugin
222 * ./plugins/macosx/*: fixed Mac OS X resizing.
223 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: warning levels are no longer additive, patch
224 courtesy of Arnaud de Bossoreille de Ribou <bozo@via.ecp.fr>.
225 * ALL: changed __inline__ with inline (autoconf does the job for us anyway,
226 and mipspro doesn't know about __inline__).
227 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c, ./src/audio_output/aout_ext-dec.c: fixed
228 deadlock in NextFrame() in aout_pcm.c.
229 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c, ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed
230 a bug in the directx window creation function. We register a window
231 class once per process so we must be careful not to free the associated
233 * ./extras/Win32_msvc/vlc.dsp: updated the MSVC++ project files and added
234 support for dirent (vlc compiled with msvc can now load plugins - even
235 compiled with mingw).
236 * ALL: small portability fixes.
237 * ./plugins/macosx/*: menu item to maximize the volume in Mac OS X.
238 * ALL: dropped dependancy on autoconf 2.52.
239 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: modified the directx video plugin to try
240 to create an YUV surface before falling back to an RGB surface when it's
241 not possible to use overlays. Some graphic cards can do the YUV->RGB
242 conversion in hardware during the blitting stage.
243 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: in the directx video plugin, we now
244 request that the RGB surface be created in video memory. The reasoning
245 behind this is that usually surfaces in video memory benefit from more
246 hardware acceleration (like for instance hw rescaling, hw blitting, etc.).
247 * ./plugins/directx/directx.c: added two options to the directx video plugin
248 to disable the above features (mainly because my video driver is buggy and
249 doesn't handle them well).
250 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: small cosmetic changes to the generation of
252 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fix for config_GetHomeDir() on win32.
253 SHGetFolderPath() is located in shfolder.dll not shell32.dll.
254 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: fix for the gtk preferences dialog box. To
255 be sure that an int or float value is actually changed we call
256 gtk_spin_button_update() in the GtkInt/FloatChanged() event handler.
257 * ./debian/control: made the Build-Depends: entry a one-liner (Closes
259 * ./src/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: a lock was not released.
260 * ./plugins/text/rc.c: added a safety lock.
261 * ./plugins/gtk/*: new Network dialog box for Gtk and Gnome interfaces.
262 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: you can now force the mpeg_audio demux
264 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_headers.c: update reference in case of sequence
266 * ./src/input/input_clock.c: don't keep the control lock during the pause.
267 * ./plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c, ./src/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: check for
268 b_die and b_error in all loops so that we don't remain stuck waiting for
269 data whereas the vlc has tried to quit.
270 * ./src/misc/mtime.c: we use nanosleep whenever possible (patch from Meuuh).
271 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c : it will not segfault with broken avi with an unknown
273 * ./src/misc/mtime.c: removed usage of usleep (not thread safe) (by Meuuh).
274 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: video output patch to improve handling
275 of late pictures (by Meuuh).
276 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c, src/interface/intf_playlist.c: disabled
277 calls to realloc(_,0) in a similar way to input_programs.c.
278 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_seek.c: fix random segfaults on title change (i_cell
279 should be tested _before_ we access the structures).
280 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed memory corruption by setting a few
281 pointers to NULL after they have been free()ed.
282 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: removed now useless ASSERTs.
283 * ./plugins/beos/*: improved overlay and bitmap support, not tested on nVidia
284 cards. Lower CPU usage and no thread created per frame.
285 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c: added a sanity check.
286 * ./plugins/vcd/*: vcd access plugin now uses mpeg_ps demux instead of its
288 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_qdview.m: attempt to fix the video output with
290 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: probably fixed most "crash when changing
291 audio track" problems by zeroing the p_ac3dec structure.
292 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: fixed a "INPUT_MAX_ALLOCATION reached"
294 * ./src/input/input_dec.c, ./src/input/input_programs.c: check size to avoid
296 * ./plugins/win32/network.*: new Network dialog box.
297 * ./src/input/input.c, ./plugins/access/http.c, ./plugins/access/udp.c: added
298 the input_FDNetworkClose() function to be called when closing a networking
299 stream instead of input_FDClose().
300 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: use closesocket() instead of close() at the end
301 of the network_ChannelJoin() for WIN32.
302 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed an issue with long options from
303 modules where option arguments and playlist entries were mixed.
304 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: fixed endianness issue; subtitles colors
306 * ./plugins/satellite/input_satellite.c: fixed a compilation warning.
307 * ./configure.in: added libdvbpsi version check.
308 * ./include/modules_inner.h: fixed a bug in module reinitialization,
309 which should fix crashes after a long pause.
310 * ./src/input/*: fixed a bug (glitch/segfault) when seeking.
311 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: we handle PCR even if they are not attached
313 * ./configure.in: new --with-mad-tree configure option.
314 * ./BUGS: updated BUGS file.
315 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: it should now be possible to quit when reading
317 * ./src/misc/iso-639.def, ./include/iso_lang.h, ./src/misc/iso_lang.c:
319 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c, ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c,
320 ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: adapted DecodeLanguage calls to the new
322 * plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: ISO-639-2 descriptors handling.
323 * ./include/mmx.h, ./plugins/imdct/*: gcc-3.1 compilation fixes courtesy
324 of Yves Duret and other Mandrakesoft guys I don't know.
325 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_vlc_wrapper.m: do not eject when we're reading from
327 * ./src/misc/modules.c: if a module has a zero-scored capability, we don't
328 try to use it, unless it was explicitely requested (--vout for example).
329 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: fixed an aspect ratio issue (thanks Meuuh).
330 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: fixed an old old bug in TS demux, thank you
332 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: to avoid problem with PS, test only the
333 first 4 bytes for mpeg header so some broken files, and all web radio will
334 not work. You can change this by changing value of MPEGAUDIO_MAXTESTPOS.
335 * ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml: spelling mistakes, small updates, harmonization with
336 other documentations (thank you Alexis).
337 * ./plugins/satellite/*: some fixes in options parsing (thank you Sam).
338 * ./extras/MacOSX/Resources/vlc.icns: new OS X icon, courtesy of Joeri van
339 Dooren <joeri@van.dooren.be>.
340 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/video_decoder.c: Mac OS X fix.
341 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: you should again be able to play PS
342 streams (I hope it will be enough). Sorry.
343 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: CVS version of ffmpeg can now decode
344 msmpeg4 v1 v2, so I added support for this. But you can always use
345 the old ffmpeg library without any problem (I hope ;).
346 * ./include/video.h : added new fourcc codes for avi.
347 * ./plugins/filter/clone.c: New filter, `--filter clone', duplicates
348 display. To duplicate 12 times, use `--filter clone:12'.
349 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c, ./plugins/x11/xvideo.c: --xvideo-chroma flag to
350 force the XVimage format used.
351 * ./plugins/text/ncurses.c: ncurses interface improvements by Thomas Graf.
352 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: we don't use any more U32_AT.
353 * ./plugins/macosx/*: disabled auto-hiding of mouse cursor since it doesn't
354 work when browsing menus; instead, click in the video window
355 * ./plugins/macosx/*: fixed a major bug in the spu decoder.
356 * ./plugins/macosx/*: Objective-C files are now .m.
357 * ./plugins/macosx/*: fixed menus.
358 * ./plugins/macosx/*: menus for Program/Title/Chapter/Languages.
359 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: we use input_ClockManageRef to do synchro.
360 * ./include/common.h, ./include/input_ext-plugins.h: exported
361 input_ClockGetTS for plugins.
362 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: a demux for mpeg audio stream (file,
364 * ./src/interface/main.c: if Ctrl-C doesn't kill vlc cleanly for any
365 reason, user just needs to hit Ctrl-C again 1 second later and we'll
366 exit disgustingly instead of freezing.
367 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_vlc_wrapper.c: menu code fixes.
368 * ./plugins/macosx/*: fixed Mac OS X VOUT_SIZE_CHANGE signal.
369 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: corrected some bad lock/unlock.
370 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: can now use --novideo.
371 * ./plugins/macosx/*: improvements of the OS X GUI.
372 * ./plugins/mad/*: added mad plugin downscale config option for selecting
373 downscaling routine. Choices are: fast, mpg321. Default the fast version
374 is used. The downscale option mpg321 uses an algorithm that adapts to
375 dither errors. This routine is borrowed from MPG321 code.
376 * ./plugins/mad/*.c: mono audio streams get now duplicated on the right
377 channel instead of silencing the right channel (untested).
378 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c, ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: improvements.
379 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: video plugins that don't handle
380 rescaling themselves have to let the video_output thread know about
381 resizing events (with VOUT_SIZE_CHANGE event). (this part needs some
382 clean-up but it is basically working for the X11 and SDL plugins).
383 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: fixed fullscreen for the SDL plugin.
384 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c, ./plugins/mga/xmga.c: xmga and sdl now switch to
385 fullscreen on double-click.
386 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: try to not freeze when reaching end file.
387 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c, ./src/video_output.c: fixed the resizing and
388 scaling of the X11 video output.
389 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: clicking on the video doesn't pause it anymore
390 (use spacebar for this), but double-clicking will now switch between
391 fullscreen and window mode.
392 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: the Apply button in the preferences menu
393 is grayed out unless there's a change to apply.
394 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: GtkConfigApply() now clears the list of
395 config changes before returning.
396 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: fixed ipv4.so compilation under QNX.
397 * ./configure.in: deactivated ipv6.so under QNX for now.
398 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: more stable audio output with more output
400 * ./BUGS: no text in the status bar with gtk intf, no window title in gtk
401 intf on some machines, correct title on another.
402 * ./plugins/gtk/*.glade, ./plugins/gtk/*_interface.*: fix for interface
403 autoshrink when toolbar text isn't displayed.
404 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk_display.*:
405 callbacks for the hide tooltips and toolbar text options.
406 * ./plugins/mad/*: aout fifo adapts it size according to the length of the
407 first frame. The change is needed for MPEG1/2 layer III, because the size
408 of output pcm from mad_decoder is different.
409 * ./include/modules_inner.h, ./src/misc/configuration.c: support for config
411 * ./configure.in: we check support for variadic macros (screw Borland!).
412 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c: new option lets you hide the text of the
413 GNOME interface toolbar.
414 * ./FAQ: small FAQ update. Please note that everyone can update this FAQ if
415 they want, it is not my property :-).
416 * ./AUTHORS: added quite a few missing names.
417 * ./plugins/qnx/vout_qnx.c: port of the QNX vout plugin to the vout4 API,
418 courtesy of Pascal Levesque <Pascal.Levesque@mindready.com>.
419 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: you can now use slow and fast reading. After seeking,
420 audio and video synchro is better.
421 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: misc sound fixes.
422 * ./configure.in: fixed VCD double detection.
423 * ./src/misc/configuration.c, ./plugins/text/logger.c: the configuration file
424 and the log file are opened in text mode. This mode should only have a
425 meaning on Win32 and isn't supposed to break any other platform. If does
426 give you any trouble then shout.
427 * ./configure.in: added a --with-a52-tree option to the configure script.
428 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: FOURCC_YUY2 subtitles support (for NVidia
429 overlay) courtesy of Rudolf Cornelissen <rag.cornelissen@inter.nl.net>.
430 * ./plugins/kde/*: configuration dialog for the KDE interface, courtesy
431 of Sigmund Augdal <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>.
432 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.h: workaround for yet another annoying gcc
433 behaviour with inline assembly (seems to be BeOS-specific). If anyone has
434 a better idea than the huge "memory" constraint, please have a look at
435 the MMX_CALL() macro!
436 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: corrected a bug with broken avi files.
437 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: added config_Get/PutFloatVariable to
438 p_sysmbols. Thanks to Sigmund Augdal for pointing this bug out.
439 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c: on Win32 the aout_pcm thread is given a high
440 priority. This avoids lots of audio underruns, especially when moving
441 around the video window.
442 * plugins/avi/avi.c : changed in order to read more avi files, Meuuh
443 you can now read your file ;) (but audio is awful, perhaps because of mad
444 plugin ?). Fix a bug for audio with some avi files.
445 * ./plugins/satellite/satellite.c: fixed a compilation issue in satellite
446 input. It now uses common or libdvbpsi ts demux. Untested cause I can't
447 get our Nova Card work again.
448 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: restored vout_CopyPicture(). It is
449 needed by the directx plugin damnit ;-)
450 * ./include/config.h: restored AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION to its old value. It
451 should solve quite a few underrun problems.
452 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: a little bit of DirectX plugin clean-up.
453 * ./ipkg/control: added more information in ipkg control file.
454 * ./include/modules_inner.h: the module name is now a default shortcut, for
455 it, no need to manually add it.
456 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c, ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: when in fullscreen
457 mode, the Esc key does not quit immediately, but first escapes from
458 fullscreen mode. User-requested feature.
459 * ./include/os_specific.h: fixed a C++ compilation issue.
460 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: removed the main() declaration because SDL
461 defines it as a macro.
462 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: with some broken avi files, will not freeze, and
463 try to detect end of file.
464 * ./include/threads_func.h: moved the function definitions from threads.h
465 into threads_funcs.h. This allows us to move p_main_sys into p_main
467 * ./configure.in: fixed the --with-gtk-config-path and --with-sdl-config-path
469 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: seek is faster.
470 * ./configure.in: fixed a typo in libdvbpsi handling.
471 * ./plugins/vcd/cdrom_tools: FreeBSD 4.5 port of the vcd input.
472 * ./INSTALL.win32: updated win32 compilation instructions.
473 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: fixed --program option.
474 * ./include/common.h: fixed vlc_memalign.
475 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: now it can play broken files with seek enabled but
476 it's very slow (will be fixed soon).
477 * ./src/misc/beos_specific.c: added system_Configure(). Sorry O:-)
478 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: a video divx ES will no longer be considered
479 as an audio ES (thanks sam).
480 * ./src/misc/darwin_specific.c: added system_Configure().
481 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: cleaned up QTScaleMatrix().
482 * ./plugins/macosx/*: A/V sync should be much more precise.
483 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_qdview.c: borders in fullscreen mode are now black
484 and the movie is centered.
485 * ./extras/MacOSX/vlc.pbproj/project.pbxproj: new creator ID: VLC#.
486 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: exported input_ClockManageRef for fenrir.
487 * ./include/video.h: moved vout_CopyPicture out of the way, an inline
488 function did not make sense here.
489 * ./include/video.h: moved vout_ChromaCmp out of the way.
490 * ./plugins/avi/fourcc.h, ./include/video.h: merged these two files into
492 * ./include/os_specific.h: this file is now always included.
493 * ./include/debug.h: removed this file which was almost useless, and moved
495 * ./include/common.h: fixed vlc_memalign and changed its prototype to
496 follow posix_memalign's.
497 * ./configure.in: dropped usage of $withval and $enableval in favor of the
498 safer variants $with_foo and $enable_foo.
499 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: will not segfault when no audio is found/supported.
500 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: with empty frame(data_packet) it won't segfault.
501 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: use KeyFrame to seek, so video will not be bad as
503 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: moved Program Specific Information
504 decoder to the ts demux module.
505 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/Makefile: added a mpeg_ts_dvbpsi module tha uses
506 libdvbpsi to decode PSIs. It is used by default if the lib is found. It
507 shares much code with mpeg_ts.
508 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed typo. You have to double click on
509 the video window to switch to fullscreen.
510 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: on Win32 the config file is now stored under
511 the "Application Data" folder belonging to the user. (this works if at
512 least IE4 is installed, otherwise the old method is used to get the
514 * ./configure.in: fixed MacOS X module linking problem.
515 * ./src/interface/main.c: we no longer segfault if argc == 0.
516 * ALL: renamed PLUGINS to __PLUGINS__ to avoid conflicts with libraries
518 * ./src/input/input_ext-plugins.c: cosmetic change.
519 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/*: use of _M to avoid conflict with libavcodec.a.
520 * ./plugins/avi/*: a light AVI demux.
521 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/*: a video decoder for divx v3 and opendivx.
522 * ./plugins/win32/preferences.cpp: fixed a compilation bug
523 * ./plugins/avi, ./plugins/ffmpeg: created empty directories for fenrir's
525 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: fixed the spu decoder to take the pitch
526 of the destination picture into account when rendering the subtitles
527 (Implemented only for the YUV modes).
528 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed the mouse autohidding feature in
529 the DirectX plugin (at least partially).
530 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: fixed the DirectX video output for
531 non-overlay modes. It was only working in RGB16 before.
532 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: DirectX video output plugin now uses
533 triple buffering for YUV overlay. This improves the video quality a lot
534 (no tearing) without affecting performance. (I knew double buffering
535 sucked but I just discovered why triple buffering is better: you don't
536 have to wait for the vsync to flip the buffers).
537 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c, ./plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c: temporary fix
538 to avoid retrieving the spu palette from a network stream as if it was
540 * ./src/interface/main.c: tidied the help output code.
541 * ALL: removed underscores from option names and made a few options more
542 self-explanatory, for instance --input_channel becomes --audio-channel;
543 run vlc -H to see what has changed.
544 * ALL: replaced many occurences of "plugin" with the word "module".
545 * ./src/interface/main.c: moved all satellite-specific configuration options
546 to the satellite plugin.
547 * ./po/*: updated translations.
548 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.h: optimized the 420 planar-to-packed chroma
549 transformations. They're now PIC-friendly as well.
550 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_open.c: added Open disc and network panels.
551 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_controller.c: some changes to the control layout.
552 * ./src/interface/main.c: i_warning_level is set to 0 to avoid unwanted
554 * ./po/en_GB.po: British translation.
555 * ./src/interface/main.c, ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed the warning_level
556 handling: "-v" and "--warning" are now working as they should and they also
557 are cumulative (using -vv --warning=3 you end up with i_warning_level=5).
558 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: support for short options. -V, -A, -I
559 are back, and we also have -4 and -6 for IPv4/IPv6.
560 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: added config_GetFloatVariable() and
561 config_PutFloatVariable() to the config module.
562 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: added a --zoom <float> config option.
563 * ./plugins/idct/idct_sparse.c: added a call to RestoreCPUState() in
564 InitIDCT() so that the FPU is still available after a call to InitIDCT().
565 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: deactivated stream buffering when logging to a
567 * ./po/*: re-ran make update-po, fixed a few translations.
568 * ./po/fr.po: completed the french translation.
569 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade, ./plugins/gtk/gnome.glade: synchronized a few
570 strings between the Gtk+ and GNOME modules to avoid duplicate translations.
571 * ./po/de.po: updated german translation. Many thanks to Thomas Graf.
572 * ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml: URL & mailing-lists corrections.
573 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: the last category from the config options
575 * po/nl.po: updated Netherlands translation of interface.
576 * po/fr.po: completed french translations.
577 * ALL: internationalized all configuration strings.
578 * ./src/interface/main.c: we now set LC_CTYPE to get the right charset.
579 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: lots of simplifications in the code.
580 * ./po/vlc/pot: updated translations.
583 Thu, 18 Apr 2002 06:43:42 +0200
585 * ./vlc.spec: fixed build dependencies.
586 * ./configure.in: when -lintl is available, we now also link plugins with it.
587 * ./include/threads.h: fixed a segfault under Solaris, thanks to Meuuh.
588 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: RGB 24bpp and 32bpp support.
589 * ./configure.in: switched version to 0.3.1.
590 * ./vlc.spec: imported Mandrakesoft's latest enhancements.
591 * ./configure.in, ./plugins/network/ipv6.c: support for the GNU glibc
592 extension gethostbyname2(), thanks to Thomas Graf.
593 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: finally fixed MacOS X aspect ratio. If you
594 know how to center the picture in the screen, and make the remaining space
595 black instead of white, PLEASE drop me a mail!
596 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: in TS demux, a program is selected only if a
597 PMT for it was found. This should fix the problem that occured when reading
598 a file directly extracted from a satellite card.
599 * ./plugins/access/udp.c: UDP access plugin uses input_SetProgram.
600 * ./AUTHORS: added people locations, just for fun.
601 * ./configure.in: disabled SSE plugins when using mingw32.
602 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: disabled the AltiVec warning message on the
603 PowerPC platform because it was misleading.
604 * ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: have dvdread plug-in respond to dvd: URLs.
605 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_macosx.c: MacOS X interface shouldn't take as much
607 * ./plugins/motion/motionaltivec.c: fixed a bug in AltiVec-enabled MC (thanks
609 * ./plugins/memcpy/memcpyaltivec.c: fixed a case of segfault in AltiVec-
611 * ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml: big update of Henri's howto.
612 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/*: support for pictures with a pitch different from
613 the picture width, inspired by Gildas Bazin.
614 * ./plugins/satellite/input_satellite.c: fixed a typo in satellite input.
615 * ./src/interface/main.c: added options to configure antenna (sat_lnb_lof1,
616 sat_lnb_lof2, sat_lnb_slof and sat_diseqc). They only appear if satellite
618 * ./plugins/satellite/input_satellite.c: fixed a few bugs in satellite
619 input (device was not closed in every failure case, symbol rate limits
620 in gnome interface were wrong).
621 * ./plugins/gtk/*: added FEC choice in command line, gtk and gnome
622 interfaces. Command line is now satellite:<frequency(Hz)>,
623 <polarization(0=V,1=H)>,<fec(1=1/2,2=2/3...)>,<symbol rate(kbyte/s)>
624 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: implemented a fix for nVidia overlays
626 * ./Makefile: fixed the Win32 interface under Win2k/XP.
627 * ./src/misc/modules_plugins.h: implemented a dlerror()-like wrapper
629 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ps.c: fixed another bug in PS demux: the first
630 program added was at the same time declared as the current program and as
631 a new program, which made the ES be selected two times.
632 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed a bug in input_SetProgram, that made
633 the ps file input launch without video.
634 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: fixed code to close vout window, does not
636 * ./po/fr.po: french translation update
637 * ./configure.in: fixed a bug in the libdvdread detection.
638 * ./configure.in: fixed plugin compilation under Win32.
639 * ./vlc.spec: imported MandrakeSoft's enhancements.
640 * ./doc/developer/decoders.xml: fixed a typo preventing compilation.
641 * ./plugins/aa/aa.c: we now parse the AAOPTS environment variable.
642 * ./plugins/aa/aa.c: a few simplifications in the code.
643 * ./src/input/input.c: made file access plugin use input_SetProgram so that
644 we may change program when reading a file.
645 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed a bug in input_SetProgram.
646 * ./src/interface/main.c: added --input_program <int> option, to choose the
647 program from the command line.
648 * ./plugins/memcpy/memcpyaltivec.c: fixed AltiVec-enabled version of
650 * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed --memcpy switch.
651 * ./Makefile: changed CFLAGS_VLC to vlc_CFLAGS (last-minute changes are
653 * ./README - Mac OS X.rtf: new README file for MacOS X.
654 * ./Makefile: fixed the Win32 interface under Win2k/XP.
655 * ./src/misc/modules_plugins.h: implemented a dlerror()-like wrapper
657 * ./configure.in: wrote a better test for libdvdread detection.
658 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade: added lines this #@%$! Glade had munched, fixes
659 a segfault in the Gtk+ popup menu when toggling the interface.
660 * ./plugins/motion/motion.c: fixed a compilation issue on compilers which
661 do not accept empty macro arguments.
664 Sat, 6 Apr 2002 04:27:50 +0200
666 * ./doc/release-howto.txt: updated documentation.
667 * ./vlc.spec: added missing plugin filenames to the build process.
668 * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.dfm: swapped two mixed up tooltips.
669 * ./Makefile: fixed make dist and make distclean.
670 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: compilation fix.
671 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: fixed ejection code.
672 * ./plugins/text/ncurses.c: fixed compilation of the ncurses plugin.
673 * ./vlc.spec: updated specfile.
674 * ./Makefile, ./configure.in: misc BeOS build fixes.
675 * ./plugins/win32/win32.cpp: fixed `--intf intfwin' which wasn't working.
676 * ./Makefile: we don't include the Gtk+ and SDL DLLs in the win32 package
677 anymore, the package is now 700k instead of 4MB.
678 * ./configure.in, ./Makefile, ./Makefile.opts.in: replaced LIB_FOO with
679 foo_LDFLAGS and CFLAGS_BAR with bar_CFLAGS for faster builds, and moved a
680 lot of stuff from Makefile.opts.in back to configure.in.
681 * ./install-win32: updated script for NSIS 1.96.
682 * ./configure.in: added --enable-intfwin to enable the win32 interface and
683 --with-bcbuilder to tell make where to find Borland C++ Builder.
684 * ./plugins/win32/intfwin.bpr: we now build intfwin.so at the right place.
685 * ./plugins/win32/Makefile: intfwin.so can be built using commandline.
686 * ./configure.in, ./include/threads.h, ./include/common.h: a custom defs.h
687 file isn't needed for the intfwin plugin anymore.
688 * ./INSTALL.win32: updated compilation instructions for the intfwin plugin.
689 * ./AUTHORS: added ipkiss.
690 * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: disabled the "hide interface" menu
691 item, not yet implemented.
692 * ./plugins/win32/about.dfm: replaced the outdated author list with a
693 "VideoLAN Team" entry.
694 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade, plugins/gtk/gnome.glade, ./plugins/kde/kde.cpp:
695 replaced the outdated author list with a "VideoLAN Team" entry.
696 * ./debian/rules, ./debian/control: deactivated the vlc-kde package because
697 it does not work, and removed the vlc-a52 package because liba52 is
698 statically linked into vlc.
699 * ./debian/control: added more helpful package descriptions.
700 * ALL: changed version to 0.3.0. Yeah, it's coming.
701 * ./Makefile: fixed make dist.
702 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a vout4 image starvation bug.
703 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: we look for libdvdcss.so.2 as well as -.so.1.
704 * ./configure.in: BSD/OS fixes thanks to Steven M. Schultz.
705 * ./Makefile: renamed the `snapshot' rule to `dist'.
706 * ./Makefile: removed the `snapshot-nocss' rule which isn't needed anymore.
707 * ./Makefile.modules: modules now depend on Makefile.opts.
708 * ./configure.in: added (hopefully) explicit messages on how to get
709 libdvdcss and link vlc with it.
710 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: removed inclusion of dvd_udf.h.
711 * ./plugins/win32/*: Added management for secondary config dialogs
712 * ./plugins/ogg/*: added preliminary files for an Ogg/Vorbis decoder a
713 contributor is currently working on.
714 * ALL: removed libdvdcss from the vlc tree.
715 * ALL: removed libdvdread from the vlc tree.
716 * ./acconfig.h: removed this file.
717 * ./plugins/dvd/dummy_dvdcss.c: merged this file into dvd.c.
718 * ./AUTHORS: moved a few gentlemen to the libdvdcss AUTHORS file.
719 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: use the dvd_device config option.
720 * ./po/ja.po: added Japanese translation from Fumio Nakayama
721 <endymion@ca2.so-net.ne.jp>.
722 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: fixed disc ejection code.
723 * ./include/threads.h: new pthread implementation for WinNT/2K/XP. This
724 implementation shouldn't be subject to race conditions as it is using
725 SignalObjectAndWait() from the Win32 API. As this should be somehow slower
726 than the old method (still used on Win9x), you can specify that you want
727 to use the old method with the "fast_pthread" config option.
728 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: added a new p_main_sys global variable. This
729 variable is a pointer to an OS specific structure which is defined in
730 *_specific.h. This structure can be filled by the already existing
731 System_Init() function and is a nice way to avoid too many #ifdefs.
732 * ./include/defs.h.in: got rid of the DVD_DEVICE macro. We now use the
733 dvd_device config option. This creates a small memory leak as we don't free
734 the string obtained from config_GetPszVariable, but I think we can live
736 * ./configure.in: the SSE plugins are disabled on the mingw32 build as they
737 don't work (because memalign is not implemented on win32, and malloc only
738 aligns on an 8 bytes boundary).
739 * ./INSTALL.win32: fixed a small mistake.
740 * ./include/config.h: fixed config directory name for windows.
741 * ./plugins/win32: the network dialog now respects the preferences settings.
742 * ./src/input/input_ext-plugins.c: compilation fix. :-ppppp
743 * ./plugins/memcpy/fastmemcpy.h: AltiVec-enabled version of fastmemcpy.
744 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: use ImageBuffer instead of ScreenBuffer in
745 OS X video output (should be faster).
746 * ./src/interface/main.c: check that channels have been created before
747 the call to network_ChannelJoin.
748 * ./plugins/win32/*: fixed a few bugs in the preferences.
749 * ./plugins/win32/*: better auto-resizing of the main window.
750 * ./plugins/win32/*: the disc dialog now respects the preferences settings.
751 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: small compilation fix.
752 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: added a test for the nooverlay option.
753 * ./include/config.h: changed directory of the config file for BeOS to be
754 consistant with OS standard.
755 * ./configure.in: BeOS, liba52 and chroma plugin compilation fixes.
756 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: removed a warning.
757 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: Solaris fixes by Meuuh.
758 * ./FAQ: removed outdated stuff.
759 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed yet another bug related to the event
761 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: removed a few debug messages.
762 * ./extras/Win32_msvc/*: Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 6 project files. This
763 is useful mainly for debugging as the hardware accelerated plugins can't
764 be compiled with msvc.
765 * ./plugins/downmix/ac3_downmix_sse.c, ./plugins/downmix/ac3_downmix_3dn.c:
766 Win32 compilation fixes when downmixsse and downmix3dn are declared as
768 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed the waiting on the event thread
769 creation in the directx plugin.
770 * ./Makefile: updated the "package-win32" rule.
771 * ./install-win32: all txt files are now converted to dos format (CRLF).
772 * ./doc/win32/Cross-Compile-Howto.txt: VLC-Win32 Cross-Compile Howto,
773 courtesy of Bill Eldridge.
774 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: improved overlay detection, default colour
776 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: allow the user to resize the configuration
778 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: moved config_GetIntVariable out of the
780 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: you can now set a maximum height for the
781 configuration windows in the gtk and gnome plugins. This patch _doesn't
782 change_ the look of the interface unless this interface tries to use more
783 space than allowed, in which case scrollbars are added to make the
784 navigation easy. Note that this setting only affects the default size the
785 interface will use, the user is then free to change the size of the window
787 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: tooltips are now triggered only in
788 specific places. This is a lot less intrusive and annoying for the users.
789 * ./plugins/win32: fixed the bug on exiting the vout pressing 'q'.
790 * ./plugins/beos/*: implemented an "always-on-top" feature for the interface
791 window, RGB16 Overlay supported again, resizing is now implemented
793 * ./plugins/win32: subtitles should work, now.
794 * ./plugins/access/udp.c: disabled the server argument in udpstream: because
795 it confuses users and is not of any practical use.
796 * ./src/interface/main.c: fix for sparc.
797 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: don't try to stat() the dvd drive letter on
799 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: disabled YUV overlay double buffering for
800 now, as it seems to actually be slower.
801 * ./include/threads.h: temporary fix in vlc_cond_signal() for win32 (I really
802 should use SignalObjectAndWait() on WinNT so we can avoid race conditions
803 in the pthread code). This fixes a problem noticed on WinXP where vlc would
804 freeze regularly and eat-up all the CPU (fun no?).
805 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: when unselecting an ES, we must ged rid of
806 p_es->p_pes so that it is regererated when we select this ES again. It made
807 vlc segfault when switching from some stream to another, or when switching
808 program in satellite input.
809 * ./plugins/access/udp.c: UDP access plug-in can now receive MPTS (Multiple
810 Program TS) and switch programs.
811 * ./plugins/macosx/*: audio and video output go to time-constrained
812 scheduling [OS X port].
813 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: some dirty ifdefs for a nicer gnome
814 interface (gnome buttons, gnome dialogs).
815 * ./po/nl.po: translation of user interface messages to Netherlands.
816 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: new options "gtk_hide_toltips"
817 or "gnome_hide_tooltips". Tooltips are enabled by default. This option is
818 only considered on module initialization.
819 * ./configure.in: GNU make detection.
820 * ./extras/MacOSX/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib/objects.nib: deleted
821 non-working fullscreen menu item [OS X].
822 * ./plugins/access/http.c, ./plugins/access/udp.c: udp and http no longer
823 modify p_input->psz_name.
824 * ALL: various little portability fixes.
825 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: changed the behaviour of the config file:
826 now all the config options are saved. <string> config options which have
827 no default value are also saved in the config file but as an empty string,
828 and config_LoadConfigFile will ignore empty config options, which also
829 means we cannot pass an empty string as a <string> config option. (this
830 shouldn't matter anyway).
831 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: modified the gtk interface to save an
832 empty <string> option as a NULL pointer.
833 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: modified config_LoadConfigFile to consider an
834 empty <string> option as a NULL pointer.
835 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: save button (inadvertently suppressed).
836 * ./plugins/win32: added toolbar icons (thanks xav), we can no longer edit
837 plugin names in the preferences :)
838 * ./plugins/win32: the tool button for playlist is now a toggle button.
839 * ./plugins/beos/InterfaceWindow.cpp: disabled controls if the playlist was
841 * ./plugins/win32/*: added a win32 interface plugin, developed with Borland
842 C++ Builder. To build the plugin, follow the instructions in
844 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: fixed an ugly structure, the tabs are not
845 verticaly expanded as they were, small enhancements.
846 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk_common.h: new
848 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: modifications of some widgets, the
849 structure, cosmetic changes.
850 * ./src/interface/main.c: typos, a couple of new descriptions.
851 * ./src/interface/main.c: moved the "display" option from main to the
852 relevant plugins. ( We now have the x11_display, xvideo_display,
853 xmga_display and ggi_display options ).
854 * ./INSTALL-win32.txt: fixed a little omission.
855 * ./src/plugins/gtk/*: fixed a bug that made vlc segfault when choosing a
856 program, change to another and come back to the first one.
857 * ./src/plugins/gtk/*: added gtk and gnome interfaces for satellite input. We
858 should find a way to hide the button if satellite support is not compiled.
859 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: implemented correct scaling and used new
860 window size variables. Beta always on top for the interface window. New
862 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: fixed a problem in the MacOS X aout which
863 caused the previously played audio frames to be played when there were no
864 new frames available.
865 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: MacOS X vout now uses the height/width
866 calculated in video_output.c.
867 * ./configure.in: Win32 fix.
868 * ./configure.in: miscellaneous fixes for the OS X port.
869 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: the calculation for the initial video
870 window dimensions is now done in video_output.c and made available into
871 p_vout->i_window_height/width. This allows to get rid of duplicated code
872 and unify the behaviour of the video output plugins. (not all the plugins
873 have been modified because I didn't want to break anything).
874 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: moved GetConfigurationFromCmdLine() into
875 configuration.c and renamed it to config_LoadCmdLine().
876 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: config_GetHomeDir doesn't use getpwuid_r
877 anymore as this was creating some problems on solaris. This function now
878 uses getpwuid and is called only once to store the home directory into the
880 * ./plugins/satellite/*: added satellite input. It works with WinTV Nova
881 card, and siemens 0.9.4 drivers from www.linuxtv.org.
882 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: fixed stupid bug in stupid
883 ConvertPrintfFormatString() function.
884 * ./plugins/win32/waveout.c: fixed the "waveout not closing" bug. We need to
885 reset the waveout device before closing it.
886 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: fixed a bus error on UltraSparc.
887 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: Win32 and Solaris compilation fix.
888 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: improved scaling, correct aspect ratio even
889 in full screen mode, duplicate code reduces and framework for Overlay and
890 OpenGL modes in place.
891 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: kludge to allow the ALSA module to be
892 compiled as a plugin. Please test.
893 * ./include/modules.h: fixed a C++ warning.
894 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: VCD raw device fix, courtesy of Steven Schultz.
895 * ./configure.in: better IPv6 detection. IPv6 is disabled under MacOS X (no
897 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed some bugs in program management:
898 selected ESs must be attached to the selected program.
899 * ./plugins/aa: aalib output plugin courtesy of Sigmund Augdal.
900 * ./configure.in: fixed a few bashisms.
901 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed build under Solaris.
902 * ./TODO: updated todo list.
903 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: fixed a memory leak.
904 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_pool.c: fixed a memory leak.
905 * plugins/win32/waveout.c: fixed typo.
906 * ./configure.in: BeOS compilation fixes.
907 * ./debian/rules: activated (broken) KDE interface.
908 * ./plugins/access/http.c: fixed a segfault.
909 * ./plugins/alsa/aout_alsa.c: fixed a segfault.
910 * ./include/common.h: fixed the compilation fix for Borland C++ :)
911 * ./include/common.h: compilation fix for Borland C++.
912 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: MacOS X aout now uses AudioConverter for
914 * ./plugins/macosx/*: Various MacOS X intf improvements and bug fixes.
915 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb8.c: fixed a warning.
916 * ./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: fixed chroma deinterlacing.
917 * ./plugins/kde/kde.cpp: the KDE interface compiles again.
918 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_es.c: fixed a segfault I introduced today.
919 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: cosmetic fix.
920 * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a typo in the --help output.
921 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: fixed a segfault in the vlcs communication; still
922 unstable but solving other bugs won't do any good without rewriting the
923 whole playlist code. Which I'm doing right now.
924 * ./configure.in: MacOS X compile fixes.
925 * ./src/input/input.c: skip "//" if we find "://" in a resource we have to
926 play : this allows us touse the syntax udpstream://host.
927 * ./extras/MacOSX_dvdioctl: removed outdated files.
928 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: fixed an infinite loop error.
929 * ./plugins: fixed segfaults in various demux plugins.
930 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: SDL_VIDEODRIVER can be specified from the
931 command line; try "--vout sdl:aalib"
932 * ./configure.in: fixed linking of the ipv4 plugin.
933 * ./configure.in: DirectX plugin is now correctly detected and configured.
934 * ./BUGS: updated bug list.
935 * ./configure.in: ./configure --help should be a lot clearer now.
936 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb8.c: plain C 8 bpp transformation.
937 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: plain C 24/32 bpp transformations.
938 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
939 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
940 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
941 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault.
942 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: added an alternate fullscreen method. With this
943 method, _nothing_ is allowed to be displayed on top of the video
944 (especially not taskbars, etc...). Of course this can also be annoying
945 sometimes, this is why it's an option.
946 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: small fix for the config file. The parser
947 assumes that the config file is divided into sections (a section is the
948 config data for a plugin and begins with something like [foo]), so the
949 comment for the beginning of the section must be after the section marker
951 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: tidied code and prevented curruption on
952 window not containing the video. Video window now returns to correct size
953 and position after toggling full screen.
954 * ./configure.in: more modules are plugins.
955 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: changed ~/.VideoLan/vlc to ~/.videolan/vlcrc,
956 and a few cosmetic changes (sorry Gildas for the butchery).
957 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: C version of the I420 to RV15/16 chroma.
958 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: this the last piece of the new configuration
959 module. You can now save your configuration options (only from the
960 gtk/gnome interface for now). The config file will be saved as
962 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: we now analyze the subtitle image
963 data to find the border color and the inner colors when there was
964 no way to find the palette data (network stream).
965 * ./plugins/mpeg_system: fixed a parsing bug I introduced yesterday.
966 * ./Makefile: fixed OS X vlc.app compilation dependencies.
967 * ./configure.in: fixed the endianness check under Solaris.
968 * ./src/input/input.c: strings are now initialized to "" instead of NULL.
969 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: we now properly support the subtitle
970 palette information we get from the DVD. Subtitles rox !
971 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: removed all DVD-specific routines
972 and put them into spu_decoder.c.
973 * ./plugins/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: removed an ugly loop.
974 * ./plugins/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: moved iec958/spdif encapsulation from
975 ac3_spdif to aout_spdif. It will eventually allows to use ac3_adec or a52
977 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: fixed chapter selection at startup.
978 * ./src/input/input_dec.c: p_es->p_demux_data is available in
979 p_config->p_demux_data so that the input can pass information directly to
980 the decoder. First application: aspect ratio for DVD is read from the ifo
981 (should fix the buf with aspect ratio in anamorphic DVDs).
982 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c: the DVD plugin also copies the spu yuv palette in
983 p_demux_data so that the spudec can display subtitle with the right color
985 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: removed duplicate code and useless lock in gtk.
986 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed EOF and Stop segfault in VCD input:
987 input_BuffersEnd was being called twice.
988 * ./AUTHORS: updated Tony Castley's e-mail.
989 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: new resizing and scaling code. More in line
991 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: a52 plugin updated to use liba52-0.7.3 (which is now
992 available in debian :)
993 * ./src/interface/main.c: new configuration option to choose audio output
994 format at runtime. It allows to select spdif pass-through decoder with
995 --ac3_adec and to remove the ugly b_ac3 in main.h. As a consequence --spdif
996 doesn't work anymore: you should use --ac3_adec pass.
997 * ./src/interface/main.c: return the option name in error message for
998 unknown option intead of the argument.
999 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: gtk config interface modified so you can
1000 only have one instance of a plugin config dialog box displayed at one time.
1001 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: new GTK configuration interface. This
1002 interface is generated dynamically at run-time from the configuration data
1003 contained in each plugin.
1004 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: config_PutPszVariable and config_GetPszVariable
1005 are now thread safe.
1006 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: few modifications/optimizations to the config
1008 * ./include/config.h: got rid of all the _VAR macros in config.h.
1009 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: added missing include (MacOS X port).
1010 * ./plugins/dvd/*: fixed EOF segfault at end of DVD.
1011 * ./src/input/input.c: buffer manager is renintialised at area change.
1012 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c, ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: we now exit more
1013 cleanly on initialization error.
1014 * ./plugins/dvd/*: rewrote most functions in DVD plugin. Some old bugs might
1015 have been solved in the operation. The plugin some be more readable now,
1016 and should produce fewaer segfaults (I hope so :p)
1017 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: added some tests in open.
1018 * ./plugins/alsa/aout_alsa.c: spdif support in the ALSA plugin.
1019 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: when reaching the end of a track, moves to the
1021 * ./src/interface/main.c: disabled the GNOME segfault dialog in debug
1022 mode. We want nice, clean segfaults, with huge core files and a lot
1024 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: I hope you liked this bug: DVD demux was always used.
1025 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_demux.c: fixed demux plugin selection.
1026 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: take the lock on stream in VCDInit. Please
1027 test, as I don't have any VCD to do it.
1028 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_parse.c: ac3dec is now less verbose.
1029 * ./src/interface/interface.c: fixed a deadlock when seeking the
1030 stream using the keyboard arrows.
1031 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_display.c: removed an occurance of former angle item in
1033 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: fixed a bug
1034 in ES management introduced lately in DVD/DvdRead.
1035 * ./plugins/dvd/*: beginning of reorganisation in DVD plugin source files,
1036 in order to try to make it easier to understand. There is some work left
1038 * ./plugins/vcd/vcd.c: decreased the score for VCD plugin, as the VCD demuxer
1039 was used even for DVD :p. It should make autodetection work.
1040 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: modified vcd input for the new input III. Still
1041 have problems with end of tracks.
1042 * ./plugins/vcd/vcd.c: modified the command line, as stef did for the DVD.
1043 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: DVD demux was no longer selected under win32.
1044 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: DVD angle
1045 is now handled through a program structure, so that the interface needs
1046 nothing specific to change angle.
1047 * ./src/input/input_clock.c: fixed a bug in clock management where ES without
1048 a program couldn't get timestamped.
1049 * ./plugins/gtk/*: fixed program management in gnome/gtk. Program now also
1051 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: in interface, only display ES associated with
1052 the selected program, or with no program at all.
1053 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed typo in the win32 change to the input parser.
1054 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: more complete
1055 command line parsing for DVD, hopefully working this time.
1056 * ./plugins/network/ipv6.c: IPv6 network module, courtesy of Alexis Guillard
1057 <alexis.guillard@bt.com>, for BT.
1058 * ./src/interface/main.c: --6 and --4 options to force IPv6 or IPv4 (FIXME:
1059 it should be -6 and -4 but I don't know how to do it with the new
1060 configuration module).
1061 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: channel manager now uses a socket from the network
1062 plug-in and is more portable (and probably broken, too :)
1063 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ps.c, ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c:
1064 input_ReadPS and input_ReadTS are now in mpeg_system.c to be more easily
1065 reused by plug-ins other than mpeg_ps and mpeg_ts.
1066 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: we now make sure the aout plugin buffers
1067 always contain between AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION/2 and AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION*3/2
1068 worth of audio. This should solve the audio buffer underruns.
1069 * ./src/input/input.c: fix for the bug in input when filename contains a '@'
1071 * ./src/input/input.c: simplified the win32 specific changes to the input
1072 parser. (I think we can safely assume that no access plugin name will have
1073 a length of one character).
1074 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: DVD access plugin is only called if specified under
1075 windows (no automatic detection).
1076 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: replaced setenv with putenv.
1077 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_open.c: fixed a bug in gtk.
1078 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: new command line for DVD, to get rid of global
1079 options input_title or so.
1080 * ./Makefile: added network to the list of the plugins directories.
1081 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: fixed DVD input under Win32.
1082 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed input parser under win32, which couldn't
1083 understand that c:\windows\bureau is a valid file and doesn't need to be
1084 accessed with the plugin 'C' :-)
1085 * ./AUTHORS: added xav.
1086 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: got rid of int_types.h and did a few changes
1087 Ipkiss will need. Hope I did not break other platforms.
1088 * ./include/common.h: fixed compilation problem related to ssize_t.
1089 * ./include/common.h: various Win32 compilation fixes.
1090 * ./include/input_ext-plugins.h: DVD compiles, but doesn't work yet.
1091 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: fixed some typos in my previous Win32 multicast
1093 * ./plugins/dummy/input_dummy.c: fixed `vlc vlc:quit'.
1094 * ./src/input/input.c: initialized uninitialized variables.
1095 * ./src/input/input.c: initialize p_access_module & p_demux_modules to NULL
1096 when input thread is created.
1097 * ./po/no.po: Norwegian translation by Sigmund Augdal. Berdå ka pø tüt.
1098 * ./src/misc/modules.c: shortcuts for --intf work again, gvlc launches the
1099 Gtk interface, qvlc launches the Qt interface, etc.
1100 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: we now have sound together with --aout scope.
1101 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: removed numerous
1103 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: multicast under Win32 now works with the new
1105 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: dvd and dvdread support
1107 * ./src/input/*, ./plugins/network/*, ./plugins/access/*: Input III
1108 (Episode 1). Major rewrite of the buffer core functions, modularity of
1109 access plugins (file, udp, http), modularity of network stack (ipv4, soon
1110 ipv6), autodetection of the type of stream.
1111 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_headers.c: we no longer crash when the next
1112 stream doesn't have the same image size as the previous one.
1113 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c: another overrun fix; please test.
1114 * ./configure.in: fixed a plugins/dsp.so compilation issue under OpenBSD.
1115 * ./plugins/dsp/aout_dsp.c: OpenBSD compilation fix.
1116 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault on exit.
1117 * ./src/input/input.c: BeOS network support (no idea if it works when you
1118 don't have BONE, though).
1119 * ./include/common.h: BeOS compile fixes.
1120 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: fixed BeOS video output.
1121 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed uninitialized variable in
1123 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: char pointers obtained by
1124 config_GetPszVariable need to be freed.
1125 * ./src/interface/main.c: forgot to add the declaration of server_port.
1126 * ./src/input/input.c: multicast now works under Win32, but this is a _bad_
1128 * ./include/threads.h: support for the State Threads Library, a userland
1129 threads library (http://state-threads.sourceforge.net/). Useless to most
1130 people, but can be handy to debug stuff. Activate with `--enable-st'.
1131 * ./plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c,
1132 ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: adaptation to new configuration scheme for dvd,
1134 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: removed CVS garbage.
1135 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: fixed a compile issue on IA64.
1136 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: new toy plugin, an audio scope module.
1137 * ./src/audio_output/aout_spdif.h: replacement header for aout_common.h.
1138 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: fixed a quite old bug in the audio
1139 output which made the sound stutter when wrapping around the audio output
1141 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: lots of simplifications in the audio
1142 output, got rid of b_stereo.
1143 * ./plugins/gtk/*: added a menu in the GTK and gnome interfaces to change
1144 the current program in multi-program streams (such as ones provided by a
1146 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: new configuration architecture for vlc.
1147 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: fixed array over-run bug in intf_MsgUnsub.
1148 * ./configure.in: don't try to grok altivec with mingw32.
1149 * ./configure.in: --with-directx-path should now indicate the path where the
1150 actual headers are (before the headers had to be in an include subdir). By
1151 the way you can download these header files from the videolan web site.
1152 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: if symbol foo isn't found in the
1153 plugin, we always try to open _foo, whatever the architecture.
1154 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: non-blocking patch from Sigmund Augdal
1155 <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>; hope this time my enhancements don't break
1157 * ./configure.in: gtk*-config detection fix for FreeBSD.
1158 * ./configure.in: removed a bashism.
1159 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for systems without shm.h.
1160 * ALL: QNX compilation fixes here and there; the qnx plugin still doesn't
1162 * ./Makefile: the win32 port now uses a more recent version of gtk+.
1163 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: the log window is now black with colourful text.
1164 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c: ported the log window to the GNOME interface.
1165 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: messages are sent to the queue even if
1166 -vvvv* wasn't specified.
1167 * ./plugins/vcd/cdrom_tools.c: MacOS X VCD support.
1168 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.: various fixes, thanks to Sigmund Augdal.
1169 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: rewrote an ugly loop.
1170 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: added a Gtk+ window containing all the log
1171 messages; updated in real time. To open it, go to "view"->"messages".
1172 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: got rid of TRACE and intf_DbgMsg which were
1174 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: all intf_*Msg functions now write to stderr.
1175 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: implemented a message queue interface plugins
1177 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: wrote the logger interface plugin. Usage:
1178 vlc -I logger:filename.log.
1179 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: lots of fixes in the SPU renderer.
1180 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a typo in aspect ratio
1182 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: MacOS X vout improvements.
1183 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_macosx.c: MacOS X intf now returns, allowing vlc to
1185 * ./Makefile: added a new make target: package-macosx.
1186 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: Win32 compilation fixes (mingw includes
1188 * ./configure.in: configure now checks for ddraw.h and not directx.h.
1189 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: don't include directx.h anymore (this
1190 file isn't part of the directx sdk).
1191 * ./plugins/waveout/waveout.c: moved all the stuff from aout_waveout.c
1192 directly into waveout.c (I don't know what I was thinking about when I
1193 created these two files ;-)
1194 * ./plugins/waveout/waveout.c: until we fix the audio buffer underrun
1195 problem, waveout will be the default audio output on win32 (instead of
1197 * ALL: got rid of *_Probe functions because most of them were duplicates
1198 of the real _Init or _Create functions. That's 1000 lines of code gained.
1199 * ./src/misc/modules.c: we try not to keep the global lock in module_Need,
1200 which should speed up output spawning.
1201 * ./plugins/dummy/input_dummy.c: fixed vlc:quit command.
1202 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: compilation fix.
1203 * ./plugins/macosx/*: preliminary fixes for the vout4 port.
1204 * ./plugins/gtk/*: Win32 fixes.
1205 * ./plugins/beos/*: BeOS fixes from Rudolf Cornelissen.
1206 * ./src/interface/main.c: --desync now really accepts a value in ms.
1207 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed a crash when not opening a VCD.
1208 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: fixed subtitles under BeOS and
1209 other architectures which don't support overlay.
1210 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: compilation fix (include stdint.h).
1211 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: fixed a SEGV.
1212 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: ported the BeOS RGB video output to
1213 vout4. The overlay video output still needs to be written though.
1214 * ./plugins/a52/*: just renamed the liba52_adec plugin into a52 to comply
1215 with the naming convention used by the other plugins.
1216 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: IR remote control plugin by Sigmund Augdal
1217 <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>, activate with --enable-lirc.
1218 * ./configure.in: put liba52_adec in a builtin for PIC/non-PIC reasons.
1219 * ./plugins/liba52_adec/*: new AC3 decoder plugin using liba52 from Aaron
1220 Holtzman and Michel Lespinasse. This plugin isn't used by default, you
1221 have to specify: --ac3_adec liba52.
1222 * ./src/misc/modules.c: changed module_Need to make it possible to
1223 have several modules with the same shortcut name.
1224 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_open.c: fixed a bug in the network dialog.
1225 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: added mstrtime() to module_symbols_t so we
1226 can compile the mpeg_vdec plugin with TRACE mode enabled.
1227 * ./plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c: fixed ac3_spdif which has been broken
1229 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: check frequency in ac3_adec and change fifo
1231 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: moved initialisation of p_aout from
1232 plugins to audio_output.c; if audio output rate is specified at launch
1233 time, we try to use it by default.
1234 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: MMX YUV to RGB transformation for 15bpp.
1235 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: added double-buffering for the directx
1236 plugin in overlay mode.
1237 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: several directx bug-fixes: implemented
1238 the right behaviour on exit, fixed bug preventing the creation of several
1239 windows (the wall filter is working now :-)), fixed unnecessary background
1240 redraws (it made the video flicker), fixed bug where we were losing the
1241 video display because of lost surfaces in video memory, when using hardware
1242 overlay, the output window will now specify "(using hardware overlay)".
1243 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: we don't use DPMS functions if they are
1245 * ./plugins/win32/waveout.c: added a new very simple audio plugin for
1246 Win32. This plugin uses the waveOut API which is a lot easier to use for
1247 streaming stuff than directsound. (you don't have to take care of
1248 underflows anymore because it doesn't use circular buffers). If you are
1249 having a lot of underflows, this plugin is currently better adapted than
1251 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: moved some initialization stuff in
1252 audio_out.c so we can know the caracteristics of the audio stream before
1253 calling aout_Open().
1254 * ./configure.in, Makefile: configure and Makefile tweaking for dvdread
1256 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: fixed a missing function initialization
1257 which made decoder plugins segfault in GetChunk calls.
1258 * ./configure.in: proper soundcard.h check from Yves Duret.
1259 * ./plugins/mpeg_adec/mpeg_adec.c: enabled --stereo option for streams that
1260 pretend to be mono while they are not.
1261 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: fixed an alignment issue in the ac3 decoder.
1262 * ./src/input/input_dec.c: decoders do not necessarily use bit stream (see
1264 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: mad PTS should finally be accurate.
1265 * ./configure.in: some configure changes.
1266 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: libmad_input now takes one frame at a time (see
1267 mad_adec.h for defines)
1268 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: audio_linear_dither() gives better sound
1269 quality then s24_to_s16_pcm(), but also makes audio artefacts louder so
1270 disabled it for now.
1271 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: cleaned up libmad_output.
1272 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: cleaned up InitThread.
1273 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.h: made buffer size match libmad's expectations.
1274 * ./plugins/mad/DESIGN: updated documentation.
1275 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed crashes on exit in the directx
1277 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: vout_PlacePicture is now accepting
1278 picture width=height=0.
1279 * ./configure.in: added extra checks for strange compilers such as
1280 Borland C++ which do not support all gcc options. Note that vlc does
1281 not compile with bcc32 yet, but is getting closer and closer to.
1282 * ./plugins/win32: skeleton for the win32 interface Ipkiss is developing.
1283 * ./config.guess ./config.sub: latest GNU versions.
1284 * ./configure.in: when possible, xvideo is compiled as a plugin.
1285 * ./vlc.spec: fixed a few minor inaccuracies.
1286 * ./debian/control: vlc-gui is no longer depended on, but rather recommended.
1287 * ./src/interface/main.c: --spumargin flag; use this to force displaying
1288 subtitles at the bottom of the screen instead of putting them in the
1289 middle, for instance: `--spumargin 5'.
1290 * ./plugins/qnx/qnx.c, ./plugins/macosx/macosx.c, ./plugins/beos/beos.cpp:
1291 converted the plugin initialization code of the macosx, beos and qnx
1292 code. (please note that they should still not compile as they need
1293 to be adapted to the new Vout4 architecture)
1294 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: major rewrite of the directx video
1295 plugin to adapt it to the new vout4 architecture. This plugin has also
1296 been through a major clean-up and it is now much more robust and optimized.
1297 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: fixed a few problems with the win32 build.
1298 * ./src/interface/main.c: replaced the "overlay" command line option with
1299 "nooverlay". The former was confusing and useless because overlays were
1300 used by default anyway.
1301 * ./vlc.spec: imported MandrakeSoft's new spec file.
1302 * ./debian/control: fixed build-dependencies for vlc-mad.
1303 * ./debian/rules: fixed the vlc-arts and vlc-mad package builds.
1304 * ./plugins/gtk/{gtk|gnome}.c: the gnome/gtk interface should no longer use
1305 p_input->stream before it has been initialized.
1306 * ./src/input/input.c: stream lock is initialized in input_CreateThread
1307 instead of initThread, to have it initialized when we call it in the
1309 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: added support for S8 and U16 aout.
1310 * ./debian/control: fixed Debian build-depends.
1311 * ./include/config.h: changed RELEASE to HAVE_RELEASE because RELEASE
1312 is already defined in <scsi/scsi.h> under Linux.
1313 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: fixed issues in the PTS handling of the mad
1314 plug-in (incomplete).
1315 * ./src/input/input_ext-dec.c: more precise way to retrieve a PTS from the
1317 * ./INSTALL.libmad: configure, build and install instructions for libmad
1318 library and mad plugin.
1319 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: smooth sound (not tested on iPaq).
1320 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.c: le coup de grâce: all the code in audio
1321 output is now factorized (except for ac3 spdif) in aout_common.c/.h.
1322 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.h: aout thread functions are declared with
1324 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: HUGE cleanings in audio output: removed
1325 AOUT_INTF_*_FIFO, which where not used.
1326 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.c: factored S16StereoPlay, U8MonoPlay, and
1327 so on.., in a single function aout_FillBuffer (unsigned 8bit may be broken,
1328 but I have no stream to test with :(
1329 * ./configure.in: a few fixes for the Win32 build.
1330 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed all the problems related to
1332 * ./src/misc/modules.c: fixed a compile issue under platforms without
1333 HAVE_DYNAMIC_PLUGINS.
1334 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: MacOS X port.
1335 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: 24/32 bpp software YUV.
1336 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: activated double buffering.
1337 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: we create more Xv pictures to
1338 get smoother rendering.
1339 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: removed aout_CreateFifo from mad_adec.c
1340 InitThread() and added it to mad_libmad.c.
1341 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: BSD compilation fix suggested by Steven M.
1343 * ./src/audio_output/aout_s16.c: beginning of code factorization in
1344 aout_s16 (more cleaning will come). As for libmad, I have tried to create
1345 the aout fifo in libmad_output, to open it with the right sample rate, but
1346 strangely it didn't work.
1347 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed a few segfaults caused by the dummy plugin.
1348 * ./plugins/mpeg_adec/mpeg_adec.c: fixed a segfault due to misuse of
1350 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: replaced XFlush with XSync. This must be the
1351 fourth time someone has to commit this, so I added a reminder :-)
1352 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/input_ts.c: hopefully fixed a bug in TS input, that
1353 caused a segfault when there was no network stream.
1354 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: BSD/OS port by Steven M. Schultz.
1355 * ./include/modules_inner.h: replaced _X with __VLC_SYMBOL because _X was
1356 already a system macro under MacOS X.
1357 * ./plugins/dummy/dummy.c: fixed vlc:loop, vlc:quit, etc. entries.
1358 * ./plugins/glide/glide.c: activated double buffering.
1359 * ./plugins/mga/xmga.c: started writing an xmga plugin; doesn't work yet.
1360 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed the input memory leak, and the insane thread
1361 spawning we got with vlc:loop.
1362 * ./src/misc/intf_eject.c: disc ejection routine courtesy of Julien Blache,
1363 currently Linux-only.
1364 * ./src/audio_output/aout_ext-dec.c: better communication between audio
1365 decoder and output: aout plugins are now opened directly in the right
1366 mode (works with mpeg_adec and ac3_adec, not tested with mad).
1367 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: first attempt to implement mono output
1369 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: DVDRead plugins works again more or
1370 less ; major bugs remain but it is usable. It is selected by default if
1371 you have it compiled.
1372 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_headers.c: fixed a bug in QuantMatrixExtension,
1373 many thanks to "Thomas L. Wood" <twood@lucent.com> !
1374 * ./debian/control: updated list of supported architectures.
1375 * ./share/*: added 16x16 and 32x32 versions of PNG icons.
1376 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: removed the mgammx module and put the code in
1377 the chroma_i420_ymga module instead. This introduces a slight
1378 performance issue as we now need to memcpy() the Y plane, but I have
1379 some vout4 enhancements on their way which make this point moot.
1380 * ./debian/changelog: imported official Debian changelog.
1381 * ./debian/control: activated the vlc-mad and vlc-arts packages; package
1382 builds should now work again.
1383 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: solved a symbol resolution issue when vlc was
1384 compiled without libdvdcss which overflowed the return stack.
1385 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: ported the GGI plugin to vout4.
1386 * ./plugins/glide/glide.c: ported the Glide plugin to vout4 (untested).
1387 * ./src/input/input.c: prepared everything for multi-input mode; since
1388 no interface is yet prepared to handle this, I changed them so that
1389 they just use the first available input for now. This may break other
1390 things, but I promise I'll eventually repair everything :-)
1391 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: pipeline and cache optimizations.
1392 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: MMX-accelerated version of the MGA plugin.
1393 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/Makefile: little workaround for PA-Risc compilation.
1394 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: optimized libmad_output() for smoother sound.
1395 It is still not optimal.
1396 * ./plugins/fb/fb.c: ported the framebuffer video output to vout4.
1397 * ./src/audio_output/aout_s16.c: fixed a segfault. It may have unexpected
1398 side effects because I don't know this part of the code, but at least
1399 it doesn't crash anymore.
1400 * ./plugins/beos/beos.cpp: first attempt at porting the BeOS plugin to the
1401 new video output and module systems. Doesn't work nor even compile yet.
1402 * ./configure.in: we now check the gtk-config version.
1403 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: we use the MGA_VID_FSEL ioctl to select the
1404 frame to be displayed. Unfortunately, increasing the number of
1405 frames doesn't seem to work and makes the picture stutter...
1406 * ./Makefile: fixed a bug when no builtins were selected.
1407 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: ported the MGA video output to vout4. Only does YV12
1408 for the moment, and there is a strange bug with some streams which gives
1409 only a green image. Needs to be looked at.
1410 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed a few typos.
1411 * ./plugins/mad/DESIGN: updated documentation.
1412 * ./plugins/mad/TODO: updated TODO list.
1413 * ./plugins/mad/BUGS: updated documentation.
1414 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.h: removed unused prototype from headerfile.
1415 * ./configure.in: fix for obscure architectures like hppa where target_os
1416 isn't properly detected.
1417 * ./include/video_output.h: got rid of pf_setpalette; I'll find a nicer way.
1418 * ./plugins/mga.c: fixed MGA module compilation. Doesn't work yet, though.
1419 * ./include/common.h: hton64 is now an inline function.
1420 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c et al.: vout4 now automatically
1421 detects when two chroma formats are the same, such as UYVY/Y422, or
1422 roughly equivalent, such as I420/YV12. Plugins need not worry about
1424 * ./BUGS: added a list of known bugs. Please add your findings!
1425 * ./MODULES: added a short description of each module. Maybe we should
1426 add more details to make this file really useful.
1427 * ./doc/bugreport-howto.txt: wishful thinking...
1428 * ./Makefile: added a workaround for the fact that .c files don't depend
1429 on <videolan/vlc.h>.
1430 * ./plugins/memcpy/memcpy.c: all memcpy modules are now built from the same
1432 * ./src/interface/main.c: added the --nommx, --no3dnow, --nommxext, --nosse
1433 and --noaltivec options to vlc.
1434 * ./configure.in: removed the --disable-mmx option, now useless because
1435 of the vlc --no* options.
1436 * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a crash caused by the memcpy module
1437 being released too early.
1438 * ./include/video.h: more vout4 changes, including margin support, more
1439 FOURCC formats recognized, transparent support of identical or almost
1440 identical FOURCC formats.
1441 * ./include/video_output.h: added a vout_Render function to video output
1442 modules which is to be executed before vout_Display.
1443 * ./include/common.h: this header is back.
1444 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed RGB conversion
1445 functions, mostly taken from vout3's yuv functions, but heavily modified
1446 to use FAST_MEMCPY and to handle image dimensions which are not multiples
1447 of 16. Not all functions have been written yet, though.
1448 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed YUV conversion
1449 functions, various targets such as 4:2:2 YUYV, YVYU, UYVY, or 2:1:1 YUYV,
1450 with accelerated MMX versions.
1451 * ./plugins/chroma/i422_yuy2.c: same as i420_yuy2.c but takes planar YUV
1452 4:2:2 pictures in input. With accelerated MMX versions as well. This plugin
1453 makes it possible to display 4:2:2 files on most video cards without the
1454 quality loss of 4:2:0 downsampling.
1455 * ./plugins/filter/*: thanks to the vout_Render function, all filters now
1456 output their data perfectly in sync.
1457 * ./plugins/dvdread/Makefile: fix to prevent unnecessary target rebuilds.
1458 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: support for YV12, UYVY, YUY2 and YVYU overlays.
1459 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for I420, YV12, YUY2 and Y211 overlays.
1460 * ./ChangeLog: imported the 0.2.92 changes, unrolled current CVS changes.
1461 * ./include/config.h et al.: this file is no longer generated.
1462 * ./include/video.h: we use the FOURCC definition of a chroma format to
1463 describe picture types (see http://www.webartz.com/fourcc/).
1464 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: compilation fix by Eyal Lebedinsky.
1465 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the XShm operations order.
1466 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: small optimizations.
1467 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: removed unused code.
1468 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: your old window position and size are now restored
1469 when you come out of fullscreen mode.
1470 * ./plugins/esd/esd.c: fixed detection of the esd plugin.
1471 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/input_ts.c: fixed the ts plugin's input type
1473 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the BadCursor error in the x11 and xvideo
1474 plugins. For real this time (unlike my 2001/08/03 fix :p).
1475 * ./plugins/filter/wall.c: made the wall filter work a bit better. It now
1476 spawns a 3x2 mosaic, but this will eventually be configurable, Ã la
1477 `--filter wall:3x3'.
1478 * ./plugins/arts/arts.c: fixed the aRts audio output plugin.
1479 * ./configure.in: removed duplicate function checks.
1480 * ./Makefile.modules: added extra magic so that the module Makefiles are now
1481 ridiculously simple. And I mean *simple*. Check it! This will make a
1482 possible switch to full autoconf/automake a lot easier.
1483 * ./include/modules_inner.h: added the vlc version name to the plugin
1484 symbols, to be sure we only load plugins with the same version number. A
1485 nasty consequence is that you need to rebuild your tree after midnight if
1486 you are using a CVS tree :-)
1487 * ./include/modules_export.h: got rid of modules_export.h by #defining
1488 exported functions in the same header as their prototype.
1489 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: added modules_inner.h and other commonly used .h
1490 files to common.h so there are less and less files to include, and renamed
1491 common.h to <videolan/vlc.h>.
1492 * ./src/misc/tests.c: first modifications to the module handling system
1493 towards my ultimate goal to get rid of the *_Probe functions. Got rid of
1494 TestMethod and TestCPU, as well as src/misc/tests.c.
1495 * ./plugins/chroma/yv12_rgb8.c, ./plugins/chroma/yv12_rgb16.c: wrote the
1496 chroma plugin handling functions. No YUV functions have been ported yet
1497 because it'ls a lot of work, but the core system works, I tried it with a
1498 naive yv12->rgb16 plugin (which will disappear when the real functions are
1500 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c: made a lot of functions one-liners to avoid
1501 wasting too many output lines.
1502 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: fixed a segfault in DVDInit.
1503 * ./plugins/gtk/fixfiles.sh: Added a fixfiles.sh script to be run after Glade
1504 has generated its C files.
1505 * ./plugins/kde/*: did some work on the KDE interface to make it suck a bit
1506 less. It still segfaults, but at least it runs and it looks less ugly.
1507 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: RGB SDL rendering works again, though in 16bpp
1509 * ./plugins/vcd/linux_cdrom_tools.c: made this file independent of any vlc
1510 structure so that it'll be easily put in a library. Maybe libdvdcss?
1511 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed VCD date display.
1512 * ./plugins/x11/*: merged vout_xvideo.c, vout_x11.c and vout_common.c into
1514 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: wrote non-Shm XVideo output.
1515 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: made X11 output work again. Still pretty unstable,
1516 only works for 16bpp.
1517 * ./po/fr.po: additional french translation. Any taker for the rest?
1518 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault when the allocated
1519 pictures were not direct buffers.
1520 * ./share/*: replaced 48x48 .xpm images with 32x32 ones to conform to Debian
1521 policy (Closes Debian bug #126939).
1522 * ./Makefile: removed the automatic ./configure launch when running
1523 `make all' for the first time.
1524 * ./plugins/filter/distort.c: --filter distort:ripple (Ok, ok, I promise it's
1526 * ./configure.in: fixed compilation with dvdcss disabled.
1527 * ./configure.in: fixed compilation with plugins disabled.
1528 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: removed useless
1529 variables in the VCD and DVD plugins.
1530 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed a function which was returning
1531 "struct foo" in the VCD plugin.
1532 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the old « XVideo eats more and more CPU »
1533 bug I mistakenly reintroduced in my first vout4 commit.
1534 * ./src/misc/modules: we now stop at the first ':' when looking for a module
1535 name, to easily pass information to the modules. Possible example:
1536 --vout sdl:software, implementation of such an option is left as an
1538 * ./plugins/filter/filter.c: merged filter_bob and filter_bob422 into
1539 filter_bob. Use --filter bob to deinterlace 422 into 420 as well.
1540 * ALL: factorized code common to most filters and the video output, optimized
1541 a few filters by aligning data and reading 64 bits at a time.
1542 * ./plugins/filter/transform.c, ./plugins/filter/distort.c: two new
1543 absolutely useless, CPU-eating, resource-wasting, but fun filters: enjoy
1544 `transform', which performs flips and 90° rotations, and `distort', which
1545 performs animated image effects (currently only a naive sine wave is
1546 implemented). Usage examples: --filter transform:hflip,
1547 --filter transform:vflip, --filter transform:90, --filter transform:180,
1548 --filter transform:270, --filter distort:wave.
1549 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: added missing XSync() in the XVideo plugin.
1550 * ./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: pathetic attempt at a 4:2:2 renderer and
1551 deinterlacer, combining the most awful line dropping techniques of both BOB
1552 and 422 to 420 downscaling. Don't worry, it should only survive for a
1554 * ./plugins/filter/wall.c: new stupid plugin: "--filter wall" for split-image
1555 playback :-) (will evolve into a real image wall plugin when I have time)
1556 * ./plugins/filter/bob.c, ./plugins/filter/invert.c: filter plugins. Not very
1557 polished (please don't look at how the dates are calculated!), but worth a
1558 try. Use the following flags: "--filter invert" for inverse video,
1559 "--filter bob" for BOB deinterlacing
1560 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: buffer choice optimizations - vout4
1561 should eat even less CPU now.
1562 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed aspect ratio handling.
1563 * ./src/interface/main.c: additional fixes for OSes with no gettext (thanks
1565 * ./configure.in: don't try to use gettext if we don't have GNU gettext. This
1566 may change in the future though (most GNU software seems to include a local
1567 copy of gettext in case the operating system doesn't provide it).
1568 * ./debian/rules, ./debian/control: added vlc-arts to the debian package
1570 * ./po/ru.po: (very old) russian translation courtesy of Valek Filippov
1572 * ./po/fr.po: fixed a charset issue in the french translation.
1573 * ./config.guess, ./config.sub: updated these files from GNU's latest
1575 * ./po/vlc.pot: added vlc.pot skeleton for translators.
1576 * ./src/interface/intf_channels.c, ./include/keystrokes.h: removed unused
1578 * ./include/common.h: put common_win32.h back into common.h -- it wasn't that
1579 big and we should not multiply header files.
1580 * ./src/interface/main.c: added gettext support by Thomas Graf
1581 <reeler@reeler.org>, may be broken on other platforms but we'll only see
1582 it when I'm finished with vout 4 :-)
1583 * ./src/video_output/*: new video output version 4, featuring direct to YUV
1584 buffer decoding, non-ugly subtitle blending, XVideo and SDL video output.
1585 * ./plugins/spudec/*: renamed spu_dec to spudec and mad_adec to mad to stay
1586 coherent with other plugins. Also, renamed mpeg to mpeg_system.
1587 * ./AUTHORS: added jobi.
1588 * ./plugins/x11/vout_common.c: factored code common to vout_x11.c and

1614 * Prevent two SDL video outputs or audio outputs to be spawned at the
1615 same time to avoid ugly crashes.
1616 * TS input: bugfix in DecodePAT and minor optimizations elsewhere.
1617 * TS input: we now check that the contents of the PAT has changed
1618 before updating it, instead of just relying on its version number.
1619 * Disabled broken ALSA audio output. Closes Debian bugs #110869 and #119846.
1620 * Fixed build dependencies on libasound2-dev. Closes Debian bug #121057.

1648 iPAQ Familiar Linux.
1649 * Borrowed MPlayer's fast memcpy() routines. Best is autodetected, choose
1650 "--memcpy <whatever>" to choose one from c, mmx, mmxext or 3dn.
1651 * Added versioned build-dep to libasound2-dev (Closes Debian bug #121057).

1659 * Implemented simple BDirectWindow (DMA) support.
1660 * DeleteDecoderConfig wasn't freeing (anymore) the packets left in the

1663 * Removed a bug in the Makefile that made the CVS-snapshots building fail.
1664 * Added "#include <string.>" to include/threads.h.
1665 * Removed the mutex the vout and intf thread (were supposed to use)
1666 for syncronizing acces to the p_vout->p_sys structure.
1667 * Added error checking in pthread wrapper; as a result, intf_msg.h must
1668 now be included *before* threads.h.
1669 * Changed all files to include intf_msg.h before threads.h; while I was
1670 at it, I update the copyright notices.

1682 * Big clean-up to allow compiling every module as plugins.
1683 * Added bytes_swap.h to provide ntoh() and htol() on Win32. With this
1684 change we don't have to link winsock2 with every plugin anymore. This
1685 should also give us a slight speed increase.

1732 * Added Oct's NSIS installer script. It will probably not work for you,
1733 but I need it to build the Win32 auto installer.
1734 * Automatic handling of the Channel Server's response in network mode.
1735 * GetMACAddress takes the interface defined in the environment variable
1736 vlc_iface instead of eth0.

1752 * Corrected à long time bug (around 0.2.81 I think), that created a
1753 corruption in ifo data. This was the reason why some DVDs that worked with
1754 0.2.80 no longer worked with newer version of vlc. They should work again

1912 implying - performance boost ; - fixed the "Dual Prime Arithmetic" bug ;
1913 - 3DNow! motion compensation module.
1914 * AC3dec statistics do not show up with --enable-stats, because I doubt

1916 * Minor changes to the (non-working) ncurses interface.
1917 * Fixed a packet leak in DemuxPSI.
1918 * Added gnome.h check and cleaned the error messages in the configure script.

1958 libdvdcss. It will try to dlopen() libdvdcss at runtime, though,
1959 and will use the dummy functions only if it couldn't find a valid
1960 libdvdcss. This is probably only useful to package maintainers.

1974 * The video decoder thread is now also reniced to a lower priority on
1975 Win32 (like in the Linux version). This slightly increases the
1976 responsiveness of vlc.
1977 * Modified input_dvd so you can now go directly to the selected chapter
1978 when you change the title.
1979 * Implemented the Probe function in the Xvideo plugin. Xvideo is now the

2068 this accuracy, and it was eating cpu resources.
2069 * Elementary Stream input plugin (use it with --input es). Only works with
2070 video streams at the moment.
2071 * Added command line option '--stdout <filename>' which redirects stdout
2072 and stderr to the specified file. This option should mainly be useful

2088 * DirectX enhancements by Gildas Bazin, such as software rendering.
2089 * Another failed attempt at profiling vlc under Linux: ported the
2090 threads API to GNU Pth. Activate with --enable-pth. It doesn't seem to
2091 spawn new threads for me, maybe someone will have better luck.
2092 * Makefile optimizations.
2093 * Automatic build of libdvdcss if not found.
2094 * The DVD netlist no longer stops when the fifo is empty ; it just waits
2095 until there are free vectors again.

2107 * Added LPCM support. It should work with stereo LPCM.
2108 * Fixed a warning when compiling main.c.
2109 * Checked that OS supports SSE instructions on PIIIs (to avoid illegal
2110 hardware instructions on Linux 2.2.x).
2111 * Fixed a bug in synchro reinitialization: we no longer have a shift each
2112 time we restart the synchro (for SCR discontinuity for instance)
2113 * In DVD mode, we reinit the synchro only if the SCR are not continuous
2114 (instead of each cell).
2115 * Tried to improve AC3 spdif to prevent desynchronization.
2116 * Lots of DirectX plugin fixes by Gildas Bazin.

2394 * Initialize some values in netlist (payload_discard wasn't which caused
2396 * Come back of multi-sector read which should make reading faster
2397 * Language & Inteface support for BeOS interface
2398 * XVideo plugin courtesy of Shane Harper <shanegh@optusnet.com.au>
2399 * Makefile.in and configure.in fixes by Nilmoni Deb <ndeb@ece.cmu.edu>
2400 * A few syntax fixes in the plain X11 plugin
2401 * Various bug fixes in dvd_netlist. Some bugs seem to remain though.
2402 * New function input_ToggleES for interaction with interface.
2403 * Changes in gnome interface : navigation menus are now splited, there
2404 are radio item in menus and the code should be better.
2405 * First step for dvd_ifo rewritting. Now allocation/disallocation is
2406 being done as it has to be.
2407 * Fixed a bug in title management that make dvd like Seven work.
2408 * vout_beos now uses double buffering for YCbCr overlay.
2409 This (for some reason) improves audio/video sync
2410 * Fixes for the Qt plugin compilation under Debian
2411 * Heavy butchering in the CSS and DVD ioctl code to put all architecture-
2412 dependent code in dvd_ioctl.c
2413 * Added almost fully-functional /dev/dvd driver for MacOS X in
2415 * Fall back to one-packet-once reading in dvd input since multi-block
2416 seems to have a bug that make the vlc crash on title/audio/spu change. I
2417 hope that this bug will be fixed soon for the performance is poorer now
2418 * Add-ons and changes in gnome interface:
2419 o menu subdivision is done only if there are over 20 items,
2420 o in DVD mode next/prev apply to title,
2421 o in DVD mode, added a box with button to navigate through chapters.
2422 * Additional enhancements to the OS X DVD ioctl module
2423 * Big cleaning of the BeOS DVD ioctl code, got rid of all Linuxisms
2424 * Compilation fixes for the BeOS DVD ioctls
2425 * XVideo plugin enhancements by Shane Harper <shanegh@optusnet.com.au>
2426 * Added the GNU getopt library, which gets compiled in when getopt_long
2427 isn't available on the desired platform.
2428 * Replaced the `--warning' flag with the standard cumulative `-v' flag.
2429 `-v' is like `--warning 3', and `-vvvv' is like `--warning 0'
2430 (`--warning' is still valid for those used to it)
2431 * Cleaning in configure.in and Makefile.in, the Solaris port now
2432 builds and runs properly.
2433 * Code cleanup: removed a few tabulations.
2434 * Fixed inline asm routines to remove all read/write operands.
2435 * Added <string.h> to most files to prevent warnings under FreeBSD.
2436 * Added "break;" after "default:" in case switches to prevent
2437 warnings when compiling with GCC 3.0pre.
2438 * Sync MOSX dev/CVS tree : code support for MacOS X audio, video and
2439 interface (courtesy of Eugenio Jarosiewicz & Colin Delacroix) ;
2440 * Cleaning code and a small fix to make quit work on OSX
2441 * Disable x11 plugin if X11 headers are not found.
2442 * Misc fixes in the DVD input.
2443 * Fixed CSS authentication under Linux.
2444 * Playlist now refreshes when a file is opened.
2445 * XVideo plugin background is now black instead of white.
2448 Mon, 5 Mar 2001 00:41:16 +0100
2450 * Got rid of the CONTRIBUTORS list, and switched AUTHORS to a
2451 linux-kernel like author list.
2452 * Updated TODO list.
2453 * Fixed a segfault in the BeOS interface when --noaudio was specified.
2454 * Title and Chapter selection in the Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces.
2455 * Fixed a bug in audio selection
2456 * Tried to fix an issue in size computing.
2457 * Commited BeOS changes by Richard Shepherd and Tony Castley.
2458 * Added boolean_t b_YCbr to vout_thread_s structure to flag YUV-YCbCr
2459 decoding needed instead of YUV-RGB
2460 * Will be removed later when video_output.c rewritten
2461 * vout_CreateThread() initialises b_YCbr to zero
2462 * New BeOS video plugin that supports hardware overlays and new
2463 MediaPlayer compatible interface
2464 * Added YUV-YCbCr transforms
2465 * Fixed bugs in title/chapter handling once more, especially for size
2466 detection and location of main movie.
2467 * Support for multitrack DVD : now the stream is given to input as it has
2468 to be ; however, all the tracks are displayed one after the other ; I
2469 think we need to decode navigation ES to choose the track
2470 * Fixed behaviour at end of device.
2471 * Added DVD/VCD button and menu for quick DVD device selection to the
2472 Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces, so that vlc can play a DVD even when
2473 launched from a GUI.
2474 * Added debian/* files to help generating CSS-enabled non-US packages,
2475 and changed plugins/dvd/* to reflect this change.
2476 * Added .xpm icons (fixes lintian warnings).
2477 * --help output and manpage are now in sync (Closes Debian bug #87478).
2478 * Fixed Build-dpends entry in debian/control (Closes Debian bug #83707).
2479 * Completely changed title and chapter initialization. Now we have real
2481 * Fixed size for a majority of DVD.
2482 * More consistency in the p_input->stream management.
2483 * Made input_SelectES() and input_UnselectES() not block the input thread
2485 * Changed debian/control to fix Debian bug #83707
2486 * Added a --disable-css configure option
2487 * Moved some code here and there in the DVD plugin to make it easier
2488 for me to build the Debian CSS-free packages.
2489 * Fixed miscellaneous alignment problems (alpha/sparc ports) ;
2490 * Added a fps display when toggling 'i' ;
2491 * Fixed a bug in the video parser where one picture buffer was not
2492 released at quit time ;
2493 * Broke the mux_rate calculation, but hey guys ! it was already broken and
2495 * New function for DVD reading, that is able to read multiple blocks
2496 (I've chosen 32 now), that doesn't use any memcpy anymore and is also much
2497 faster. It is ready now for cell positioning in multi-angle DVD (to come
2499 * DVD specific netlist adapted to 2048 bytes long blocks that contain
2500 several data_packets.
2501 * Modification in mpeg_system.c to use p_payload_start instead of
2502 p_buffer (necessary for DVD plugin). It does not break other plugins
2503 since they set p_payload_start to p_buffer
2504 * New field i_read_once in input_thread_s to be able to read more than
2505 the TS related 7 packets ; i_read_once is set to INPUT_READ_ONCE by
2506 defaults but plugins can change it during initialisation.
2507 * Bug fix with frequential downmix
2508 * Additional optimizations to the subtitle decoder
2509 * The GGI video output should now be faster. Also, right-mouse-clicking
2510 works in GGI mode as well.
2511 * Optimizations done to the SPU decoder. Now the RLE is expanded at
2512 decoding time, not rendering time. The main loop in vout_RenderSPU
2513 is now 20 lines long.
2514 * The Gtk+ interface is now built as a Debian package as well. The Gnome
2515 package depends on it because of the icon and menu entry.
2516 * Added an intf_WarnHexDump() function to do raw hexadecimal dumps of
2517 memory areas. For debugging purposes or for real men, as you wish.
2518 * Lots of tidying in dvd_ioctl.c, a few comments added.
2519 * Better error handling in the subpicture decoder.
2520 * Tidied video_spu.c. More to come later.
2521 * Fixed subtitle displaying. Will soon work in overlay mode as well.
2522 * Disabled slice-level resynchro since it's probably buggy.
2523 * Fixed a structural major bug in the macroblock structure management.
2524 * Added debug messages.
2525 * Fixed a compile problem in debug mode.
2526 * Added functions and hooks to display dates instead of off_t.
2527 * Added a 'd' keystroke to dump the stream contents (for debugging
2529 * New ES detection based on .ifo for DVD module. It might fail (I have
2530 found one DVD for which ifo seems false).
2531 * Title and chapter selection on the command line (see -t and -T options)
2532 It will allow to watch some DVD that went through menus by default.
2533 * Beginning of menus in gnome interface.
2534 * Fix bug in ac3dec for mono streams
2535 * BeOS: new video output method, the vlc now uses BBitmap instead of
2536 BDirectWindow (better performances)
2537 * BeOS: added resizing
2538 * BeOS: added beta support for overlay
2539 * Added a plain Gtk+ port of the Gnome interface, for the gnome-impaired
2540 people. Gtk+ is now compiled by default, while Gnome isn't (you will
2541 have to add --enable-gnome when running configure)
2542 * Replaced -lcurses with -lncurses in configure.in.
2543 * Added DemuxPSI, DecodePAT and DecodePMT. Never tested which streams
2544 where PAT or PMT are splitted in more than one section.
2547 Fri, 2 Mar 2001 17:32:24 +0100
2549 * DVD plugin is still non-functional when you don't have DVD ioctls,
2550 but at least it compiles under BeOS as well.
2551 * Minor cosmetic changes here and there.
2552 * Added the BeOS code for vlc_mutex_destroy() and vlc_cond_destroy()
2553 * Minor optimizations in the video decoder.
2554 * Move ac3 globals variables into structures
2555 * Fixed a bash-ism in configure.in
2556 * Fixed a segfault in input.c when no input plugin was found for
2558 * Fixed a deadlock in the Gnome interface. Next time I'll initialize
2559 my mutexes, I promise.
2560 * Added Oct to the authors list in intf_gnome.glade :)
2561 * Second step in area management ; everything is in place now to have
2562 title handling; it is coming :)
2563 * Ported Glide and MGA plugins to the new module API. MGA never worked,
2564 so this didn't make it work better.
2565 * Started thinking about built-in modules, and added some code to
2566 make it easier eventually.
2567 * Added Oct in the AUTHORS file.
2568 * Fixed a mistake in configure.in.
2569 * All your base are belong to us.
2570 * Fixed a bug in src/misc/modules which prevented loading modules
2571 when launched from the Tracker.
2572 * Fixed a similar bug in src/video_output/video_text.c.
2573 * BeOS CSS support, thanks to Markus Kuespert <ltlBeBoy@beosmail.com>
2574 who ported the Linux DVD ioctls. We can now read encrypted DVDs
2575 under BeOS ! Woohoo.
2576 * First serie of changes in DVD module for the forthcoming interface menus.
2577 There is a new capability in input type modules for setting the
2578 attributes of a new area. It is set to NULL for PS and TS plugins.
2579 It should be called for every title change, chapter change,
2580 audio mode change or spu channel change.
2581 * Kludge of the kludge, removing an oddity in YUV initialisation, and
2582 activating YUV overlay on startup whenever hardware acceleration is
2583 available. Thanks for bearing with us, stay tuned.
2585 * Changed video decoder's error messages into warnings.
2587 * Drag and drop support under BeOS.
2588 * Change in the code to detect beginning of movie. It is much better now
2589 but still fails with some DVD for which the movie is not the first
2591 * Beginning of ideas to handle chapters and ES selection
2592 * configure.in and Makefile.in patches for better SDL support and
2593 support for $(bindir) $(datadir) and $(libdir) stuff, courtesy
2594 of Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <misiek@pld.ORG.PL>
2595 * Ported ggi.so to the new modules API. As for the other modules, only
2596 the "q" key works. Moreover, VLC doesn't exit cleanly if you close the
2598 * Deactivated non-working widgets in the Gnome interface.
2599 * Added CONTRIBUTORS file.
2600 * Ported the framebuffer plugin to the new module API. As for most of the
2601 other video output modules, keyboard doesn't work. Except ^C to quit.
2602 * UDF filesystem support so that we know the location of the first video
2603 related file with 100% reliability (great change that should make DVDs
2604 with binaries and extra stuff work with vlc).
2605 * Correction of a bug in ifo reading that falsified the adress of
2607 * Changed the method for selecting title at start. It is _not_ reliable
2608 though, but it is better than the preceding one.
2609 * Tried to fix the BeOS interface and video output. Any BeOS developers
2610 listening ? I can't even test that code, it probably wants additional
2612 * Added a workaround in modules.c for broken libc's which happen to truncate
2613 filenames in dentry structures when using 64bits offsets. The kind of
2614 stuff you only see in RedHats <g>.
2615 * Made the SDL error messages a bit more useful.
2616 * The Gnome menu is now created when mouse is released, not when it
2617 is pressed. It may sound stupid, but it really makes a difference.
2620 Fri, 16 Feb 2001 08:09:59 +0100
2622 * Fixed package building (both RPMs and .debs).
2623 * Fixed `make snapshot' rule.
2624 * Added some magic to filename detection. To read a DVD you now just
2625 need to run 'vlc dvd:/dev/hdc' for instance. Same for file:// URIs.
2626 * Fixed a segfault in the slider when no stream was playing.
2627 * Made the slider go from 0 to 100 (instead of 99 :)
2628 * The vlc now doesn't exit when finished playing. As a side effect of
2629 the playlist code being very recent, it continuously loops.
2630 * Fixed a segfault in the input thread creation, as well as a possible
2631 deadlock. This happened mostly when opening non-existing files.
2632 * Created input_SetStatus to do input_SetRate's job. input_SetRate will
2633 be used to set an arbitrary rate, for people who want to read DVDs at
2634 1/2.71828 times the actual speed.
2635 * Stubs for the ncurses control interface. No working code yet, but the
2636 holes just need to be filled.
2637 * Improved X11 support. Still not as functional as before.
2638 * The output window now states the method name, so that people know whether
2639 they are using X11 or SDL.
2640 * The Gnome interface is now drag'n'drop aware, you can drop a file
2641 on it just like Xine does (or so I guess).
2642 * New more recent css authentication code.
2643 * Beginning of udf support (not in Makefile)
2644 * Removed useless includes in intf_gnome.c
2645 * Made the vout_sdl.c functions static
2646 * Ported vout_x11.c to the modules API; code isn't very nice yet though
2647 * X11 output works again. It's just the output, but it works; I now need
2648 to clean the code and add event handling.
2649 * Should have fixed the dependency generater for some plugins.
2652 Wed, 14 Feb 2001 08:33:46 +0100
2654 * Started porting the X11 vout (still disabled)
2655 * A few unnoticeable changes in the Gnome intf
2656 * Changes in the way stream size in DVD mode is calculated. It is no
2657 longer such an ugly kludge and is much more accurate.
2658 * Changes in DVDSeek so that the interface slider is in 0 when we are at
2659 the beginning of the strem.
2660 * Try to detect the beginning of the movie in the middle of the title. It
2661 works for most of the DVDs but will begin in the middle of the movie
2663 * Calculate only the first title key in css mode because it might take a
2664 long time with some title. The search stops now when we have a key once
2665 whereas it did stop only when we had it twice before. It should not
2667 * Really fixed MC segfault bug.
2668 * Adaptation of DVD module to navigation slider. The seek has to be
2669 done on a multiple of 2048, and shopuld take care of the offset to the
2670 beginning of the stream. It works with most of my DVDs by fails to
2671 detect size of some streams.
2672 * Change of the order of call to ifo and css functions in input_dvd.c,
2673 because we can't read ifo files before authentification on some DVDs.
2674 * Changed location of some css tables.
2675 * We read ifo date and decrypt css keys for all titles now. It takes quite a
2676 long time to initialize with some DVDs (if you have 42 titles for
2677 instance). The key decryption might give a false value if the title is
2678 less than 10 Mb ; I'm working on that :)
2679 * Quick patch to avoid a segfault when arbitrarily seeking the stream.
2680 * Added --intf option to vlc
2681 * Started cleaning vout_sdl.c
2682 * The dummy plugin works again
2683 * Added a slider to the Gnome interface so that we can browse through streams
2684 * Removed enhancement because of an incompatibility with slow motion.
2685 * We can now seek at position 0 :p ;
2686 * Tried to enhance picture dating on timebase discontinuities.
2688 * Much cleaning in css code. It should work fine now.
2689 * Fixed my old stupid bug that disabled sound after having played the
2690 first playlist item.
2691 * Added `Prev' and `Next' buttons to the interface, with the beginning of
2692 a playlist window (still empty).
2693 * Added `Slow' and `Fast' buttons to the interface and popup menu.
2694 * Removed tests against i_rate and i_new_rate calculation from the
2695 plugins and hid this complexity into input_ext-intf.c
2696 * The pure Gnome part of the Gnome interface has been rewritten from
2697 scratch, and the .glade file included as well. You can edit it by
2698 installing glade-gnome and doing `glade plugins/gnome/intf_gnome.glade',
2699 or directly by hand if you grok XML.
2700 * Files can now be loaded into vlc using the `Open' buttons. But for the
2701 moment you still have to launch vlc with at least one file, because it
2702 quits when the end of the playlist is reached.
2703 * Idle screen was disabled because it eats a lot of CPU and is mostly
2704 useless for the moment. And it gets activated when pause lasts for too
2706 * Plugins have completely disappeared, we now only use the new module API.
2707 * All intf and vout modules are now independant. So far, only the Gnome
2708 intf module and the SDL vout module have been ported. configure.in has
2709 been modified to reflect the changes (x11 and dummy aren't compiled by
2710 default anymore, while SDL and Gnome are).
2711 * Right-clicking on the SDL video output window brings the Gnome menu.
2712 * Pause, Play, Exit, About work from the menu or from the interface window.
2713 * The old SDL keys still work.
2714 * Fixed a bug in #define that prevented from using ioctls
2715 * Some functions to prepare ifo commands utilisation to move in the
2717 * Change in configure to avoid compiling css functions on BSD.
2718 * Added comments to src/interface/intf_plst.c and include/intf_plst.h
2719 so that people understand how the playlist works.
2720 * Updated the TODO list (34 items to do, 41 done !)
2721 * Portability : changed off64_t to off_t and activated appropriate
2723 * Changed fseek() to fseeko() for 64-bit offsets ;
2724 * Reset frame predictors on a stream discontinuity.
2725 * Implemented basic stream navigation function, and bound Jump forward
2726 and jump Backward in the SDL intf. Enjoy !
2727 * Pause function implemented ('p' key).
2728 * Fixed a compile probleme on machine without a dvd player :ppppp
2729 * Fixed two bugs in ifo and css that caused memory corruption and
2730 segfault when using sdl in dvd mode.
2731 * Moved the playlist handling from input/input.c to interface/interface.c
2732 * Fixed a few warnings at compile-time.
2733 * Fixed sound channel selection in playlist mode.
2734 * Added a color message in the plugin bank because on peut bien déconner
2735 cinq minutes, quand-même.
2736 * We now spawn a new input thread for each file.
2737 * Added a missing pf_close() because it's always cool to close files
2739 * Solved bug with cssdescrambling. The vlc might segfault with dvd
2740 plugins. I will fix that soon.
2741 * Minor modification in pluginification.
2742 * Playlist works again (still the old wrong way like Meuuh doesn't
2743 like, but this is going to change within a few hours)
2744 * Input_ps, input_ts and input_dvd are now plugins, located in
2745 plugins/mpeg/ and plugins/dvd/
2746 * Fast/slow keys are now A/Z instead of A/S since S was already
2747 linked to the scale/noscale toggle.
2748 * `--dvd' doesn't work anymore, for the moment try to use :
2749 vlc --input dvd /dev/dvd
2750 * Module bank is now less verbose ; use `--warn 1' to turn back
2752 * New method using netlist to read packets on DVD device by sectors of
2754 * Some modifications in netlist to make it work with DVD.
2755 * Fixed à bug in mpeg_system.c
2756 * We can now choose the speed of forward (between 32/1 and 1/8)
2757 * Functional fast forward and slow motion API ;
2758 * Dirty hack in the SDL intf to bind "a" (fAst forward), "s" (Slow motion)
2760 * Centralized clock management, preparing for stream navigation ;
2761 * Fixed a bug in the management of the first video PTS.
2762 * Fixed a bug in period calculation for progressive sequences.
2763 * Fixed a FIXME in SDL: p_vout->p_sys is no more used in intf_sdl.c
2764 * Used instead p_vout->i_changes like in x11
2765 * Disabled SDL parachute to let the vlc dump a core instead of staying stuck
2766 * Patched 2 debian bugs
2767 (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=vlc)
2768 * Improved the snapshot generation
2769 * Mouse pointer hidden/shown with middle button in SDL output
2770 * Removed obsolete video_yuv_mmx.S
2771 * Updated the TODO list and wrote a small todo.pl parser to make it
2772 easier to see which items remain to be done
2773 * `make snapshot' now creates vlc-*.tar.gz and vlc-*-nocss.tar.gz
2776 Wed, 31 Jan 2001 04:30:37 +0100
2778 * Version 0.2.50 for the Linux Expo
2779 * --overlay and --fulscreen options (only work with --vout sdl)
2780 * The vlc exits after the end of the stream, which prevents from having
2781 to kill it and relaunch it during a presentation.
2782 * Not a very nice hack, but will probably spare us a few user complaints: if
2783 no -a option is specified, the vlc will play the first audio type it finds,
2784 so there is no need to specify "-a ac3" for a DVD anymore.
2785 * CSS support kludged for current DVD input.
2786 It is very slow now but will be more adapted to the forthcoming DVD
2788 It should read the first title of many DVDs but has been tested with few.
2789 * Beginning of ifo commands to implement DVD navigation.
2790 * Fix for field pictures.
2791 * Hooks for fast forward and slow motion support.
2792 * Fixed backwards moves.
2793 * Tuned up optimizations.
2794 * Completely removed BIZARRE_OPTIMS.
2795 * Check for the needed headers for DVD ioctls
2796 * Some cleaning in the dvd authentification code
2797 * Various miscellaneous minor optimizations of the video parser.
2798 * Beginning of support for encrypted DVDs.
2799 * It only tests encryption and authenticates disc.
2800 * Really fixed GetChunk now.
2801 * 32-bit aligned bitstream (not that fast).
2802 * The motion compensation routines are now modules as well ; choose your
2803 implementation with `--motion motion', `--motion motionmmx' or
2804 `--motion motionmmxext'. Of course, the best implementation is chosen
2805 if you don't ask for any. There doesn't seem to be any performance hit
2806 due to the move to shared libs, which is a good thing. Please test
2807 actively if you have time, though.
2808 * Updated --help result, manpage, INSTALL document, and a few files.
2809 * Borrowed LiViD's MMX and MMX EXT IDCT. This might break things. Expect
2810 a performance increase.
2811 * Removed a few useless malloc() and unused variables in the audio SDL stuff
2812 * Prepared the work for built-in modules (not yet finished)
2813 * Small tweak in the copy handling, reduce CPU usage.
2814 * --aout sdl now works
2815 * Added SDL sound support. Sounds a bit laggy sometimes but my streams
2816 are ill. please try.
2817 * Modified configure.in and all that stuff. Re-run configure
2818 * SDL audio, video and interface are all part of the same .so now.
2819 * Removed YUV old files :->
2820 * Reverted something that wasn't supposed to go into the cvs :p
2821 * Removed -fargument-noalias-global which causes problems with as (???).
2822 * Borrowed livid's latest libmmx and MMXEXT MC. Not in the Makefile => to
2823 test it, replace vdec_motion_inner_mmx.c by vdec_motion_inner_mmxext.c.
2824 * A few changes in the CPU extensions detection code, borrowed from the
2825 kernel and from mpeg2dec. I still don't know how to detect if code
2826 compiled with -mcpu=pentiumpro will run, since the cpuid arcanes are
2827 quite obtuse to me. Perhaps we should also have a way not to load modules
2828 if they have been compiled with a different CPU to avoid segfaults.
2829 * Add check for MMX EXT extensions, which doesn't work, which is a good
2830 thing since there is no MMX EXT IDCT yet :)
2831 * Change for the forthcoming fast forward and slow motion support.
2832 * Fixed the --aout, --idct and --yuv flags
2833 * Updated manpage and --(long)help output to reflect that change
2834 * Removed a few unneeded #includes here and there
2835 * Cosmetic changes in error messages in input.c
2836 * Now use of 64 bits offsets to parse the whole DVD. So we have all the
2837 available information
2838 * Fixed a bug in parsing of VTS attributes
2839 * Fixed a bug in input.c that made input plugin initialize even though
2840 no stream is reachable (thanks Sam)
2841 * Merged the YUV plugins in the same directory to avoid too much code
2843 * YUV transformations now use the new module API ; now only the vout
2844 and interface still depend on the old plugin API
2845 * Changed TestMMX to TestCPU because we will be able to test for other
2846 specific extensions (3DNow, SSE) for the forthcoming IDCT we'll
2847 borrow to mpeg2dec (as usual :P)
2848 * Don't show "hiding module" messages anymore except in debug mode
2849 * Swapped C IDCT and Classic IDCT scores since the classic one seems
2850 to be faster ; anyway you should use the MMX one
2851 * Fixed a Makefile bug under BeOS
2852 * Tried to fix the cpuid code so that it compiles under BeOS (Polux, can
2853 you test it when you have time ?)
2854 * Fixed a bug in the frame rate handling ;
2855 * Fixed a bug in the DTS/PTS ordering. Our pts are _at last_ accurate.
2856 * Finally fixed repeat_first_field and co. (pas encore tout compris...)
2857 * Implemented video_parser bitstream callback for PTS/DTS.
2858 * Fixed close button support in SDL
2859 * Fixed --width and --height support in SDL
2860 * Fixed the bug-that-made-the-vlc-segfault-on-exit, which means that
2861 more than ever, « le client ne segfaulte pas ».
2862 * There was still a problem upon quitting: sometimes the null packet
2863 wasn't big enough to reach a decoder breakpoint, so I now create 10
2864 of them (since I can't make it bigger) to be sure. Meuuh, what do
2866 * Fixed the Makefile to spare a few variables here and there.
2867 * Reduced module hide delay, removed loading of the audio output
2868 plugins since they are now modules.
2869 * Changed a few intf_Msg to intf_DbgMsg, and added "vout:", "intf:",
2870 and so on in a few other messages.
2871 * Removed unused includes in the idct modules.
2872 * Correction of bugs in ifo parsing. Now the structures should be well
2873 initialized. It remains some segfaults but it globally works.
2874 * DVD mode is enabled with option --dvd. For the moment, it only read
2875 the first vts and find the movie if it is at the beginning of the title
2877 * Beginning of dvd_input. Parsing of ifo file almost completed.
2878 * The IDCT functions are now located in modules : the classic IDCT,
2879 our optimized IDCT, and MMX IDCT.
2880 * Cosmetic changes for modules (pf_* instead of p_*)
2881 * Fixes to the BeOS and dummy modules
2882 * Changed default values :
2883 INPUT_PTS_DELAY down to 200 ms ;
2884 video heap down from 10 to 5 pictures ;
2885 decoder fifo size from 1023 to 511 PES ;
2886 * Fixed various bugs in 32 bit-versions of input_ext-dec.h ;
2887 * Fixed a bug in GetChunk() ;
2888 * Renamed GetByte, GetWord, ShowWord to _GetByte, _GetWord, _ShowWord ;
2889 * Moved decoder_fifo-specific code from programs.c to dec.c ;
2890 * Fixed bugs in program.c that prevented vlc to close all decoders ;
2891 * Gave sam a lesson for the use of the bitstream in spu_decoder.c :ppp ;
2892 * Made the video parser unlock the reference pictures before quitting
2893 (still one left, yaknow why ?)
2894 * Destroy fifo mutex and cond variables _after_ they are used for
2895 the last time. henri, that'll be one binouze.
2896 * Attempt to port the BeOS audio plugin to the new module API. Will
2897 probably need a few fixes to work or even compile.
2898 * Ported the alsa plugin to the news vlc module API
2899 * Fixed 32 bits bitstream bugs.
2900 * Moved the MPEG audio decoder to the new bitstream
2901 * Cleaning in the SPU decoder.
2902 * Moved swab32 from input_ext-dec.h to common.h. We probably won't need
2903 it anymore really soon, since ntohl() and htonl() seem to be properly
2904 optimized when gcc is passed the right optimization flags.
2905 * Fixed GetBits32 and RemoveBits32. I know the #ifdefs are useless since
2906 we only support u32 words, but it's a safe reminder. Comments appreciated
2907 on this fix since I may have b0rked something -- it runs well here though.
2908 * Changed code for handling b_die in bitstream ;
2909 * Moved input_ext-dec.h to input.h ;
2910 * New input_NullPacket function ;
2911 * Fixed init bugs in input and vpar ;
2912 * Placed a callback to the decoder in the bitstream structure ;
2913 * Fixed a purify bug in input_ps.c ;
2914 * Added -mcpu=pentiumpro in the Makefile.
2915 * Complete commenting of modules_core.h and small modifications
2916 * Separated MODULE_CONFIG_START and ADD_WINDOW (Henri, beware)
2917 * Fixed a very, very old bug that caused namespace collision between
2918 plugins (Henri, beware: call your aout_getplugin function like this,
2919 not alsa_aout_getplugin)
2920 * Removed the Debian specific clean rules from the Makefile, since they
2921 are already handled by the debian/rules script.
2922 * Tidied a few compilation rules (-lfoo should always be at the end)
2923 * Added 8bits palette SDL support.
2924 * Fixed a warning under FreeBSD (dlerror() is a const char*, not a char*).
2925 * Made configure script look for the bswap assembly instruction (using
2926 AC_TRY_COMPILE makes sure the compiler will really accept it).
2927 * Fixed colors' bug (TODO: write a function in vout that recalculate colors
2929 * Cleaning of the fullscreen switch, still sucks but the surface is not
2930 reallocated and that's good (thanks to the magic function
2931 SDL_WM_ToggleFullScreen provided by sdl library :).
2932 * Added a missing mutex_unlock in video_output.c
2933 * Moved a mutex_destroy after the thread cancellation to prevent
2935 * Added a missing #ifdef in intf_msg.c which prevented compilation
2937 * Fixed a bug in the input that prevented to quit properly in certain
2938 cases (some ES were not deleted because their index was skipped when
2939 the former one was deleted, well Meuuh should know what I mean)
2940 * Cleaning of SDL Lock/Unlock Surface.
2941 * All plugins now compile with -fPIC.
2942 * Made the audio_output API a bit simpler.
2943 * Got rid of modules_config.h.
2944 * Fixed `make install' rule.
2945 * Fixed warnings in the MMX YUV compilation.
2946 * Probably fixed a bug in the input : pp_foo structures were free()d at
2947 the end, but this was useless since the last call to realloc() is
2948 equivalent to free(), and two consecutive calls to free() aren't a
2950 * We check that the version number match and that we don't already have
2951 a module by that name when loading a new module.
2952 * All public module_* functions now properly lock the module bank.
2953 * The audio_output now uses the new module API ; EsounD and DSP modules
2954 have been ported, which should be enough for Henri to port the ALSA one.
2955 * Added vlc_mutex_destroy and vlc_cond_destroy function, for pthreads.
2956 Used them before quitting, every lock and cond is destroyed
2957 * Checked the return value of malloc and realloc in input_programs
2958 * Fixed compilation pb under solaris 2.6
2959 * Should compile & run on Solaris with ./configure --disable-dsp
2961 * Removed most SYS_SOLARIS #ifdef's in favour of more generic tests
2962 * Updated example ./configure line in INSTALL file
2963 * Now we only load modules that end with ".so"
2964 * null module is compiled by default
2965 * Fixed initialization of payload_start and payload_end
2966 * --enable-sdl and some others are now --with-sdl[=name] to supply an
2967 optional library name ;
2968 * Deleted all unnecessary #include <sys/uio.h> ;
2969 * /usr/include is now searched when looking for libraries and headers.
2970 * src/misc/modules.c is in a workable state now.
2971 * Splitted modules.h into modules.h and modules_core.h to enable
2972 clean compilation of the Null Module.
2973 * Added the Null Module, the module that does nothing but that is going
2974 to be of great help for debugging my module code.
2975 * Plugins are now called modules, because we will be able to compile
2976 them either as a dynamic plugin, or within the program. And, more
2977 important, I can commit this without having to break the vlc :)
2979 * video_output.c : compute picture size even if b_need_render == 0;
2980 * Fixed a deadlock (the vout unlocked a mutex locked by another thread,
2981 grrrr, I'll kill someone) ;
2982 * Put config.h in front of others in audio_decoder.c.
2983 * Better display of the fps.
2984 * Removed i_iovec_start and i_iovec_end. Used i_data instead
2985 * Fixed THX Cimmarron bug (it was _not_ a synchro bug).
2986 * Fixed a bug in the DTS/PTS parsing ;
2987 * Fixed a bug in vpar_headers.c synchro handling introduced before ;
2988 * Enhanced synchro's handling of dates and frame structure changes.
2989 * Fixed a bug in the PSM decoder.
2990 * We now read the DTS (but we don't use it for the moment).
2991 NB : b_has_pts has disappeared for brevity reasons, use i_pts != 0 instead.
2992 * New synchro statistics and warnings.
2993 * Avoid calling SafeRead() with a null packet size.
2994 * Use of ptrdiff_t whenever necessary (IA-64 port) ;
2995 * Changed behaviour of preparsing code, faster startup ;
2996 * Fixed DecodePSM(), cannot test ;
2997 * Cleaned up ParsePES(), fixed a bug which could reject very small but
2999 * Fixed cosmetic bugs in vpar_synchro frame_rate display.
3000 * Changed subtitles palette.
3001 * SPU decoder now uses Meuuh's GetChunk() code.
3002 * Lots of cleaning in the SPU decoder.
3003 * Message queue is flushed before we spawn input.
3004 * Fixed so that it compiles with VDEC_SMP (no good sync yet though).
3005 * Using i_id instead of i_stream_id whenever possible ;
3006 * Fixed a bug in -c and -s options.
3007 * Fixed a compile pbm in debug mode (f34r d4 1-line fix)
3008 * Fixed AC3 and SPU PES reading (ph34r da one-byte patch)
3009 * Some 79 char wrap.
3010 * No need to add "\n" at the end of intf_*Msg() messages anymore.
3011 * Moved input_DecodePES() to input_dec.c ;
3012 * Fixed an segfault in input_programs.c ;
3013 * Added -fomit-frame-pointer optimization.

3023 * Cleaned up input_ts.c, added it into the Makefile.
3024 * Fixed various memory leaks.
3025 * Removed all arbitrary limits on the number of elementary streams.
3026 * Removed b_die and b_error from all decoders (obsoleted by decoder_fifo_t).
3027 All decoders should now exit cleanly (if it's not the case, it should be
3028 referenced as a bug).
3029 * Fixed a bug which prevented the input to exit normally (non-selected
3030 ES in the pp_selected_es array).
3031 * Added netlist support.
3032 * Added U8_Mono audio output
3033 * Fixed "-a [ mpeg | ac3 | lpcm | off ]" option
3034 * Only pre-parse the first 32 MB of data.
3035 * Added -a, -c and -s options. (-a doesn't work but I will let the people
3036 who thought it would be cleaner to put config in environment variables
3037 correct what's wrong in my code).
3038 * Now we only try to open plugins which are existing files
3039 * Big cleanup of the PS input plugin ;
3040 * Fixed a bug in AC3 initialization ;
3041 * PS streams are now pre-parsed (this can take a while) if possible ;
3042 * Move #define from audio_output.h to config.h
3043 * Change vlan_server_ip to vishnou's ip (but vlans not working yet)
3044 * GetChunk() : reads n bytes from the elementary stream and places them
3045 in a big buffer (a gift for Sam).
3046 * Quantic start in fullscreen fixed.
3047 * Input-II now correctly handles private stream 1 (AC3, DVDSPU).
3048 * Split the audio decoder into adec_generic, adec_layer1 and adec_layer2
3050 * Added SDLYUV support,
3051 * Fixed the ratio/position problem in YUV,
3052 * We now display CPU usage statistics for each thread.
3053 * Additional fix for Layer 1 mono
3055 * Fixed audio syncword detection for mpeg 1 streams (hopefully)
3056 * Fixed Layer 2 Mono decoding.
3057 * Hardware YUV overlay (SDL) with real colors ;p It may suck for non
3059 * Removed vout code found in intf file to support fullscreen switching.
3060 Now only vout_SDL updates SDL data and intf only switch flags such as
3061 b_reopen_display and b_fullscreen in p_vout->p_sys.

3079 * Code to manage es_descriptors and program_descriptors, from benny's
3081 * VLAN support modified.

3083 the stream at the right pace.
3084 * Fixed a bug in the synchro with non-P5/B1 streams.
3085 * Support for MPEG-1 .mpg files.
