+ * Changed the name of a function in dvd_udf.c to fit with the forthcoming
+ libdvdread plugin.
+ * Corrected à long time bug (around 0.2.81 I think), that created a
+ corruption in ifo data. This was the reason why some DVDs that worked with

+ * Use memalign for aligned data (instead of a greek malloc).
+ * Some optimizations in imdct (all data are now aligned).
+ * SSE downmix now works for windows.

+ * Vout picture heap is now 8 pictures instead of 5 (better synchro).
+ * Tremendous enhancements in statistics display.
+ * Better capabilities handling.
+ * Error checks in debug mode : pthread ERRORCHECK_MUTEX and MALLOC_CHECK_=2.
+ * "added support for an unusual construct at the start of some

+ in x11 because it takes cpu to resize a picture).
+ * Disable dpms in xvideo.
+ * Better handling of the buffer of the sound driver to try to remove

+ implying - performance boost ; - fixed the "Dual Prime Arithmetic" bug ;
+ - 3DNow! motion compensation module.

+ * Added proper Conflicts: rules in debian/control.

+
+0.2.82
+Tue, 7 Aug 2001 12:39:16 +0200
+
+ * Got Makefile to launch ./configure almost properly. $(MAKECMDGOALS) rules !
+ * Various debian scripts fixes.
+ * Added -lmsvcrt40 to the win32 flags for proper execution under Wine.
+ * Fixed broken soname setting under Solaris (and OS X, sort of).
+ * Made the illegal instruction report more explicit.
+ * Fixed the sdl video output plugin that was broken 2 days ago.
+ * Tidied the snapshot-* Makefile rules.
+ * Tidied the modules Makefiles.
+ * Removed useless stuff in the debian/ directory.
+ * Removed the "make all" kludge in the Makefile.opts rule. I hope this
+ patch is harmless on all systems.
+ * Added a dummy libdvdcss so that the DVD plugin can be used without
+ libdvdcss. It will try to dlopen() libdvdcss at runtime, though,
+ and will use the dummy functions only if it couldn't find a valid
+ libdvdcss. This is probably only useful to package maintainers.
+ * Made the remote command plugin usable even with no stream.
+ * Fixed a deadlock in the remote command plugin.
+ * Fixed a deadlock in the SPU decoder.
+ * Minor bug fix to aout_directx.c.
+ * Big rewrite of the DirectX audio plugin. The audio output is now (almost)
+ perfect on Win32.
+ * Fixed a bug in ac3dec_CreateThread() in ac3_decoder_thread.
+ * On Win32, open() will now open files in binary mode by default.
+ * A few minor changes to vout_xvideo.c.

+ * Fixed the "Gdk-ERROR **: BadCursor" bug in the x11 and xvideo plugins.
+ * Fixed a segfault in SetBufferPicture() in video_output.c.
+ * Fixed a segfault in PSEnd in input_ps.c.
+ * The video decoder thread is now also reniced to a lower priority on
+ Win32 (like in the Linux version). This slightly increases the
+ responsiveness of vlc.
+ * Modified input_dvd so you can now go directly to the selected chapter
+ when you change the title.
+ * Implemented the Probe function in the Xvideo plugin. Xvideo is now the
+ default video output plugin when it is supported.
+ * Now use SDL_CFLAGS for searching SDL/SDL.h.
+ * Don't miserably die in `make` when ./configure hasn't be run.
+ * Fixed a bug when compiling KDE plug-in without Qt plug-in.
+ * Now taking into account $KDEDIR.
+ * Made SDL configure error messages more explicit.
+ * --disable-sdl is now correctly taken into account.

+ * VC++/Intel compiler fixes by Jon Lech Johansen <jon-vl@nanocrew.net>.
