+#===================#
+
+HEAD
+
+ * Fixed detection of the esd plugin.
+ * Fixed the ts plugin's input type detection.
+ * Fixed the BadCursor error in the x11 and xvideo plugins. For real this
+ time (unlike my 2001/08/03 fix :p).
+ * Made the wall filter work a bit better. It now spawns a 3x2 mosaic,
+ but this will eventually be configurable, à la `--filter wall:3x3'.
+ * Removed duplicate function checks from configure.in.
+ * Added extra magic to Makefile.modules so that the module Makefiles
+ are now ridiculously simple. And I mean *simple*. Check it! This will
+ make a possible switch to full autoconf/automake a lot easier.
+ * Added the vlc version name to the plugin symbols, to be sure we only load
+ plugins with the same version number. A nasty consequence is that you
+ need to rebuild your tree after midnight if you are using a CVS tree :-)
+ * Got rid of modules_export.h by #defining exported functions in the same
+ header as their prototype.
+ * Added modules_inner.h and other commonly used .h files to common.h so
+ there are less and less files to include, and renamed common.h to
+ <videolan/vlc.h>.
+ * First modifications to the module handling system towards my ultimate
+ goal to get rid of the *_Probe functions. Got rid of TestMethod and
+ TestCPU, as well as src/misc/tests.c.
+ * Wrote the chroma plugin handling functions. No YUV functions have been
+ ported yet because it'ls a lot of work, but the core system works, I
+ tried it with a naive yv12->rgb16 plugin (which will disappear when the
+ real functions are ready).
+ * Made a lot of functions in dvd_summary.c one-liners to avoid wasting
+ too many output lines.
+ * Fixed a segfault in input_dvd.c:DVDInit.
+ * Added a fixfiles.sh script in plugins/gtk to be run after Glade has
+ generated its C files.
+ * Did some work on the KDE interface to make it suck a bit less. It still
+ segfaults, but at least it runs and it looks less ugly.
+ * RGB SDL rendering works again, though in 16bpp only.
+ * Made plugins/vcd/linux_cdrom_tools.c independent of any vlc structure
+ so that it'll be easily put in a library. Maybe libdvdcss?
+ * Fixed VCD date display.
+ * Merged vout_xvideo.c, vout_x11.c and vout_common.c into xcommon.c.
+ * Wrote non-Shm XVideo output.
+ * Made X11 output work again. Still pretty unstable, only works for 16bpp.
+ * Additional french translation in po/fr.po. Any taker for the rest?
+ * Fixed a segfault in video_output.c when the allocated pictures were
+ not direct buffers.
+ * Replaced 48x48 .xpm images with 32x32 ones to conform to Debian policy
+ (Closes Debian bug #126939).
+ * Removed the automatic ./configure launch when running `make all' for
+ the first time.
+ * --filter distort:ripple (Ok, ok, I promise it's the last one !! :-)
+ * Fixed compilation with dvdcss disabled.
+ * Fixed compilation with plugins disabled.
+ * Removed useless variables in the VCD and DVD plugins.
+ * Fixed a function which was returning "struct foo" in the VCD plugin.
+ * Fixed the old « XVideo eats more and more CPU » bug I mistakenly
+ reintroduced in my first vout4 commit.
+ * We now stop at the first ':' when looking for a module name, to easily
+ pass information to the modules. Possible example: --vout sdl:software,
+ implementation of such an option is left as an exercise.
+ * Merged filter_bob and filter_bob422 into filter_bob. Use --filter bob
+ to deinterlace 422 into 420 as well.
+ * Factorized code common to most filters and the video output, optimized
+ a few filters by aligning data and reading 64 bits at a time.
+ * Two new absolutely useless, CPU-eating, resource-wasting, but fun
+ filters: enjoy `transform', which performs flips and 90° rotations, and
+ `distort', which performs animated image effects (currently only a naive
+ sine wave is implemented). Usage examples: --filter transform:hflip,
+ --filter transform:vflip, --filter transform:90, --filter transform:180,
+ --filter transform:270, --filter distort:wave.
+ * Added missing XSync() in the XVideo plugin.
+ * Pathetic attempt at a 4:2:2 renderer and deinterlacer, combining the
+ most awful line dropping techniques of both BOB and 422 to 420
+ downscaling. Don't worry, it should only survive for a couple of days.
+ * New stupid plugin: "--filter wall" for split-image playback :-)
+ (will evolve into a real image wall plugin when I have time)
+ * Filter plugins. Not very polished (please don't look at how the dates are
+ calculated!), but worth a try. Use the following flags:
+ "--filter invert" for inverse video
+ "--filter bob" for BOB deinterlacing
+ * Buffer choice optimizations - vout4 should eat even less CPU now.
+ * Fixed aspect ratio handling.
+ * Additional fixes for OSes with no gettext (thanks to ej0).
+ * Don't try to use gettext if we don't have GNU gettext. This may change
+ in the future though (most GNU software seems to include a local copy of
+ gettext in case the operating system doesn't provide it).
+ * Added vlc-arts to the debian package generation.
+ * (very old) russian translation courtesy of Valek Filippov <frob@df.ru>.
+ * Fixed a charset issue in the french translation.
+ * Updated config.guess and config.sub from GNU's latest versions.
+ * Added vlc.pot skeleton for translators.
+ * Removed unused code (intf_channels.c, keystrokes.h).
+ * Put common_win32.h back into common.h -- it wasn't that big and we
+ should not multiply header files.
+ * Added gettext support by Thomas Graf <reeler@reeler.org>, may be
+ broken on other platforms but we'll only see it when I'm finished
+ with vout 4 :-)
+ * New video output version 4, featuring direct to YUV buffer decoding,
+ non-ugly subtitle blending, XVideo and SDL video output.
+ * Renamed spu_dec to spudec and mad_adec to mad to stay coherent with
+ other plugins. Also, renamed mpeg to mpeg_system.
+ * Added jobi to the AUTHORS file.
+ * Factored code common to vout_x11.c and vout_xvideo.c.
+
+0.2.92
+Mon, 31 Dec 2001 19:50:40 +0100
+
+ * Added a missing call to DecoderError() in mpeg_adec.c.
+ * Fixed a segfault in the aRts plugin.
+ * Fixed a bug in DecoderError.
+ * Next Generation Buffer Manager.
+ * All decoders enter DecoderError() in case of error, even if they
+ haven't allocated all their data. This prevents the input from getting
+ stuck if a decoder has failed its initialization.
+ * Backported lool's fix for the Gtk+ playlist crash.
+ * If $DISPLAY isn't set, don't try to run the Gtk+ interface.
+ * Fixed a segfault in input_dvd.c:DVDInit.
+ * Fixed a PPC compilation issue.
+ * Mouse wheel seek patch for XVideo courtesy of Peter Surda.
+ * Ported to SDL.
+ * Backported a VCD crash fix from the main branch.
+ * Fixed compilation with dvdcss disabled.
+ * Bug fixes in the VCD input.
+ * The SDL plugin now says whether we are using software or hardware YUV
+ in its window title.
+ * Added --with-dll-path option for my automated Win32 package builds.
+ * Initialize SDL before opening the SDL audio output.
+ * Prevent two SDL video outputs or audio outputs to be spawned at the
+ same time to avoid ugly crashes.
+ * TS input: bugfix in DecodePAT and minor optimizations elsewhere.
+ * TS input: we now check that the contents of the PAT has changed
+ before updating it, instead of just relying on its version number.
+ * Disabled broken ALSA audio output. Closes Debian bugs #110869 and #119846.
+ * Fixed build dependencies on libasound2-dev. Closes Debian bug #121057.
+ * Changed configure.in so that libXv_pic is used instead of libXv.a when
+ available. Closes Debian bug #111790.
+ * CPU detection under BeOS.
+ * Fixed XVideo port selection.
+ * Fixed 4:2:2 software rendering.
+ * Removed cruft I forgot in aout_alsa.c.
+ * Minor compile fix under Hurd.
+ * Fixed a potential segfault if the subtitle stream was encountered
+ before the video stream.
+ * Fixed potential compilation issues under eg. BSD/OS.
+ * Fixed unnecessary target remake (recursive make is harmful !).
+ * Fixed a potential BeOS linking issue.
+ * Fixed a minor bug in input.c.
+ * Fixed an issue in Makefile.dep causing to rebuild unnecessary files
+ in the gtk/gnome plugins.
+ * Removed cruft from configure.in.

+ * Fixed a segfault on exit when no fast_memcpy module was found.
+ * Workaround for a bug in the GLIBC dlopen() code.
+ * Fixed win32 compilation.
+ * New libmad plug-in, courtesy of Jean-Paul Saman. We now have sound on
+ iPAQ Familiar Linux.
+ * Borrowed MPlayer's fast memcpy() routines. Best is autodetected, choose
+ "--memcpy <whatever>" to choose one from c, mmx, mmxext or 3dn.
+ * Added versioned build-dep to libasound2-dev (Closes Debian bug #121057).
+ * Updated Gtk/GNOME interfaces to use "udpstream" instead of "ts".
+ * More checks for GTK headers.
+ * Fixed a crash when pausing.
+ * Fixed numerous bugs in ES selection.
+ * Fixed stupid bug in vout_Manage. It sometimes called SetDSequenceMatrix
+ when there was no valid sequence.
+ * Hopeless fix for the input netlist corruption bug.
+ * Implemented simple BDirectWindow (DMA) support.
+ * DeleteDecoderConfig wasn't freeing (anymore) the packets left in the
+ decoder fifo. This bug was creating an io_vec starving on title change
+ when playing DVDs.
+ * Removed a bug in the Makefile that made the CVS-snapshots building fail.
+ * Added "#include <string.>" to include/threads.h.
+ * Removed the mutex the vout and intf thread (were supposed to use)
+ for syncronizing acces to the p_vout->p_sys structure.
+ * Added error checking in pthread wrapper; as a result, intf_msg.h must
+ now be included *before* threads.h.
+ * Changed all files to include intf_msg.h before threads.h; while I was
+ at it, I update the copyright notices.
+ * Removed the obsolete darwin plug-in.
+ * Fixed a deadlock (bug reported by marcari).
+ * Various (sometimes hopeless) fixes to try to improve xvideo stability.
+ * Documentation updates.
+ * Updated man page.
+ * dvd:<device>[@<raw device>] to avoid device namespace collision under
+ win32.
+ * Fixed a compilation issue under Win32.
+ * Fixed a potential packet corruption in the DVD input.
+ * Changed the protocol version for communication between vlc and vlcs
+ from 12 to 13 (due to change from ts:// to udpstream://)
+ * Big clean-up to allow compiling every module as plugins.
+ * Added bytes_swap.h to provide ntoh() and htol() on Win32. With this
+ change we don't have to link winsock2 with every plugin anymore. This
+ should also give us a slight speed increase.
+ * Added #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN in threads.h to speed-up compilation
+ on Win32.
+ * Modified ac_downmix_3dn and sse so they compile with the latest gcc for
+ Win32.
+ * Support for libdvdread.
+ * Added "Video" menu hint to debian/*menu (Closes Debian bug #121036).
+ * Major rewrite of the network layer. only supported syntax is:
+ udp[stream]:[//][serveraddr:[serverport]][@[bindaddr][:bindport]]
+ * Don`t use long long, use u64/s64 (int_types.h).
+ * Fixed a stale pointer in mpeg_vdec_Run().
+ * (Hopefully) fixed the network connect() bug under UNIX.
+ * aRts audio output courtesy of Emmanuel Blindauer <manu@agat.net>.
+ * Fix to the esd plugin when esd-config --cflags is nonempty.
+ * --channels puts gtk/gnome in multi-channel network mode.
+ * The network window of the interface reports the values of the environment
+ variables.
+ * Channels mode excludes vls configuration.
+ * The vlc does not try to bind vls.via.ecp.fr by default when you select
+ channels mode.
+ * Fixed MacOS X 10.1 network input, thanks to Mathias Kretschmer
+ <mathias@research.att.com>.

+ * Removed unused code here and there.
+ * Fixed a bug in altivec detection on MacOS X.
+ * It seems that the 'focus' bug under WinME is solved.
+ * Updated the INSTALL-win32.txt file.
+ * The ./configure script is more friendly for Win32 users.
+ * Moved warning message to debug message in spdif pass-through plugin.
+ * Changed a bit the wait time. It works better here, please test.
+ * The default file-translation mode was not being set under win32.
+ * Fixed heap corruption issues in ac3dec (thanks reno).
+ * Fixed a crash when using `--input dvd /dev/dvd' instead of `dvd:/dev/dvd'.
+ * configure should no longer assume AltiVec is supported when it actually
+ isn't with buggy compilers and/or pre-set $CFLAGS.
+ * Commited my little release-howto (only useful to core vlc developers).
+ * Closing Debian bug #119369 which was fixed a while ago.
+ * Decoder modularization.
+
+0.2.91
+Mon, 12 Nov 2001 17:14:29 +0100
+
+ * Added FAQ.
+ * New --channelserver switch.
+ * Documentation updates.
+ * ipkg script for Familiar Linux 0.5 & bug fix in debian/rules.
+ * Disabled DirectX audio output for the time being.
+ * Added Oct's NSIS installer script. It will probably not work for you,
+ but I need it to build the Win32 auto installer.
+ * Automatic handling of the Channel Server's response in network mode.
+ * GetMACAddress takes the interface defined in the environment variable
+ vlc_iface instead of eth0.
+ * Fixed bug with MPEG audio in TS streams.
+ * Fixed compilation (and quite probably runtime) issues under IA64
+ due to mixed int/void* casts.
+ * Merged DVD netlist with input netlist to remove duplicated code.
+ * BSD/OS VCD patch, courtesy of Steven M. Schultz <sms@TO.GD-ES.COM>.

+ * Fixed some win32 compile issues.
+ * Don't use long long, use u64/s64 (int_types.h).
+ * Move function that translates language codes into country name in src/misc
+ so that every plugin can use it.
+ * 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
+ 0.2.80 no longer worked with newer version of vlc. They should work again
+ now.
+ * New --enable-release config option.
+ * Removed deprecated code and structures.
+ * Maybe corrected aspect ratio issue in fullscreen xvideo.
+ * Fixed support for SPU and LPCM streams over network.
+ * Added a new drawer to the control window to support Title / Chapter
+ selection, Subtitle selection, Audiochannel/Language selection,
+ Angle selection.
+ * New --volume option (untested, like usual :).
+ * Reimported Intf_Controller, connected "File/Open/File" to
+ Intf_Controller::file:Open (OS X).
+ * The intf is no longer accessed indirectly from vout_Destroy.
+ * Made it possible to open a File after vlc was started (you can use vlc now
+ without starting it from the command line) under OS X.
+ * Cleaned up playlist handling in Intf_Vlc_Wrapper.
+ * Modified the pf_close kludge in input.c so that we don't segfault when
+ pf_init fails.
+ * Changed chapter selection buttons aspect to try and differentiate them
+ from title selection ones.
+ * Changes to the BeOS interface to remove unwanted volumes from the Disk
+ Menu. Readonly filesystems like NTFS were being incorrectly added.
+ * Do not resample audio output if delta is short enough.
+ * Fixed a segfault on exit under Windows 2000.
+ * Enabled http button in gtk/gnome interface.
+ * 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.
+ * SSE imdct is desactivated for windows (MINGW32 doesn't know how to aligned
+ data).
+ * Fixed '-' input.
+ * New interface for MacOS X, courtesy of Florian G. Pflug.
+ * BeOS interface changes to include menu for Title and chapter navigation.
+ * Improved more "BeOS" CD detection.

+ * Added VCD input plugin for Linux.
+ * Fixed ATTR_ALIGN configure test.
+ * Fixed compilation problems with OpenBSD.

+ not support SSE or 3DNow! inline assembly.
+ * Qt fix in vlc.spec courtesy of Christopher Johnson <cjohnson@mint.net>.

+
+0.2.90
+Wed, 10 Oct 2001 15:00:29 +0200
+
+ * XVideo module now compiled as built-in for Debian packages, to avoid
+ PIC and non-PIC code collision (Closes Debian bug #111790).
+ * MacOS X port : replaced -traditional-cpp (deprecated) with -no-cpp-precomp.
+ * MacOS X port : native QuickTime video output, courtesy of Florian G.

+ * With -vvv modules now show up their scores.
+ * HTTP input support.
+ * Borrowed Mandrakesoft's vlc.spec and libdvdcss.spec.
+ * New configure option --with-tuning=[arch], extending --enable-pentiumpro ;
+ for Pentium, use --with-tuning=pentium, for PowerPC 604 use
+ --with-tuning=604, and so on.
+ * Dramatically improve compilation time, with a negligible performance
+ tradeoff.
+ * Removed -march=pentiumpro ; should now work on pentium-class machines.
+ * Removed --enable-stats configuration directive. Stats are now activated
+ at runtime with --stats.
+ * New intf_StatMsg() call.
+ * 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
+ slices", says walken :-).
+ * In spdif ac3 is selected by default
+ * Video output grows to respect acpect ratio instead of shrinking (not
+ 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
+ sratches in spdif.
+ * Fix bad dates in ac3 spdif "decoder" (playing with the bit stream is very
+ funny).

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

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

+
+0.2.83
+Wed, 22 Aug 2001 15:18:01 +0200
+
+ * Split ChangeLog into ChangeLog and ChangeLog.libdvdcss.
+ * Added --xvadaptor flag to select the XVideo adaptor to use.
+ * Added support in ./configure for the cprof profiler.
+ * Activated -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D__USE_UNIX98 on all platforms, fixes
+ issues under Solaris and QNX.
+ * Additional checks for SSE-specific (non-MMXEXT) instructions, as
+ reported in lucky.openbsd.misc.
+ * GNU/Hurd configuration and compilation fixes.
+ * Fixed a crash in subtitle rendering.
+ * Activated old crappy subtitle rendering in overlay mode (ugly but
+ probably better than having no subtitles at all).
+ * Added proper Conflicts: rules in debian/control.
+ * configure.in fixes for BSD/OS.
+ * Added vlc:loop playlist command to go back at the beginning.
+ Usage: vlc file1.mpeg file2.mpeg ... fileN.mpeg vlc:loop
+ * Fixed a bug in the gtk interface which caused vlc to go amok after
+ having met a zero-sized area.
+ * 'snapshot*' rules do not depend on 'clean', and don't use /tmp anymore.
+
+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 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.
+ * Changed the order of evaluation of sdl-config and sdl11-config.
+ * Finally fixed SDL*/SDL.h check.
+ * VC++/Intel compiler fixes by Jon Lech Johansen <jon-vl@nanocrew.net>.
+ * Better gtk-config detection.
+ * Removed duplicate checks in configure.in.
+ * Fixed a typo in vlc.spec.
+
+0.2.81
+Sat, 28 Jul 2001 04:13:57 +0200
+
+ * Removed useless variables in configure.in which caused all subsequent

+ * Title and Chapter selection in the Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces.
+ * Fixed a bug in audio selection
+ * Tried to fix an issue in size computing.
+ * Commited BeOS changes by Richard Shepherd and Tony Castley.
+ * Added boolean_t b_YCbr to vout_thread_s structure to flag YUV-YCbCr
+ decoding needed instead of YUV-RGB
+ * Will be removed later when video_output.c rewritten
+ * vout_CreateThread() initialises b_YCbr to zero
+ * New BeOS video plugin that supports hardware overlays and new
+ MediaPlayer compatible interface
+ * Added YUV-YCbCr transforms
+ * Fixed bugs in title/chapter handling once more, especially for size
+ detection and location of main movie.
+ * Support for multitrack DVD : now the stream is given to input as it has
+ to be ; however, all the tracks are displayed one after the other ; I
+ think we need to decode navigation ES to choose the track
+ * Fixed behaviour at end of device.
+ * Added DVD/VCD button and menu for quick DVD device selection to the
+ Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces, so that vlc can play a DVD even when
+ launched from a GUI.
+ * Added debian/* files to help generating CSS-enabled non-US packages,
+ and changed plugins/dvd/* to reflect this change.
+ * Added .xpm icons (fixes lintian warnings).
+ * --help output and manpage are now in sync (Closes Debian bug #87478).
+ * Fixed Build-dpends entry in debian/control (Closes Debian bug #83707).
+ * Completely changed title and chapter initialization. Now we have real
+ title units.
+ * Fixed size for a majority of DVD.

+ nobody noticed it.
+ * New function for DVD reading, that is able to read multiple blocks
+ (I've chosen 32 now), that doesn't use any memcpy anymore and is also much
+ faster. It is ready now for cell positioning in multi-angle DVD (to come
+ soon).
+ * DVD specific netlist adapted to 2048 bytes long blocks that contain
+ several data_packets.
+ * Modification in mpeg_system.c to use p_payload_start instead of
+ p_buffer (necessary for DVD plugin). It does not break other plugins
+ since they set p_payload_start to p_buffer
+ * New field i_read_once in input_thread_s to be able to read more than
+ the TS related 7 packets ; i_read_once is set to INPUT_READ_ONCE by
+ defaults but plugins can change it during initialisation.
+ * Bug fix with frequential downmix
+ * Additional optimizations to the subtitle decoder
+ * The GGI video output should now be faster. Also, right-mouse-clicking
+ works in GGI mode as well.
+ * Optimizations done to the SPU decoder. Now the RLE is expanded at
+ decoding time, not rendering time. The main loop in vout_RenderSPU
+ is now 20 lines long.
+ * The Gtk+ interface is now built as a Debian package as well. The Gnome
+ package depends on it because of the icon and menu entry.
+ * Added an intf_WarnHexDump() function to do raw hexadecimal dumps of
+ memory areas. For debugging purposes or for real men, as you wish.
+ * Lots of tidying in dvd_ioctl.c, a few comments added.
+ * Better error handling in the subpicture decoder.
+ * Tidied video_spu.c. More to come later.
+ * Fixed subtitle displaying. Will soon work in overlay mode as well.
+ * Disabled slice-level resynchro since it's probably buggy.
+ * Fixed a structural major bug in the macroblock structure management.
+ * Added debug messages.
+ * Fixed a compile problem in debug mode.
+ * Added functions and hooks to display dates instead of off_t.
+ * Added a 'd' keystroke to dump the stream contents (for debugging
+ purposes).
+ * New ES detection based on .ifo for DVD module. It might fail (I have
+ found one DVD for which ifo seems false).
+ * Title and chapter selection on the command line (see -t and -T options)
+ It will allow to watch some DVD that went through menus by default.
+ * Beginning of menus in gnome interface.
+ * Fix bug in ac3dec for mono streams
+ * BeOS: new video output method, the vlc now uses BBitmap instead of
+ BDirectWindow (better performances)
+ * BeOS: added resizing
+ * BeOS: added beta support for overlay
+ * Added a plain Gtk+ port of the Gnome interface, for the gnome-impaired
+ people. Gtk+ is now compiled by default, while Gnome isn't (you will
+ have to add --enable-gnome when running configure)
+ * Replaced -lcurses with -lncurses in configure.in.
+ * Added DemuxPSI, DecodePAT and DecodePMT. Never tested which streams
+ where PAT or PMT are splitted in more than one section.
+
+0.2.62
+Fri, 2 Mar 2001 17:32:24 +0100
+
+ * DVD plugin is still non-functional when you don't have DVD ioctls,
+ but at least it compiles under BeOS as well.
+ * Minor cosmetic changes here and there.
+ * Added the BeOS code for vlc_mutex_destroy() and vlc_cond_destroy()
+ * Minor optimizations in the video decoder.
+ * Move ac3 globals variables into structures
+ * Fixed a bash-ism in configure.in
+ * Fixed a segfault in input.c when no input plugin was found for
+ a given file.
+ * Fixed a deadlock in the Gnome interface. Next time I'll initialize
+ my mutexes, I promise.
+ * Added Oct to the authors list in intf_gnome.glade :)
+ * Second step in area management ; everything is in place now to have
+ title handling; it is coming :)
+ * Ported Glide and MGA plugins to the new module API. MGA never worked,
+ so this didn't make it work better.
+ * Started thinking about built-in modules, and added some code to
+ make it easier eventually.
+ * Added Oct in the AUTHORS file.
+ * Fixed a mistake in configure.in.
+ * All your base are belong to us.
+ * Fixed a bug in src/misc/modules which prevented loading modules
+ when launched from the Tracker.
+ * Fixed a similar bug in src/video_output/video_text.c.
+ * BeOS CSS support, thanks to Markus Kuespert <ltlBeBoy@beosmail.com>
+ who ported the Linux DVD ioctls. We can now read encrypted DVDs
+ under BeOS ! Woohoo.
+ * First serie of changes in DVD module for the forthcoming interface menus.
+ There is a new capability in input type modules for setting the
+ attributes of a new area. It is set to NULL for PS and TS plugins.
+ It should be called for every title change, chapter change,
+ audio mode change or spu channel change.
+ * Kludge of the kludge, removing an oddity in YUV initialisation, and
+ activating YUV overlay on startup whenever hardware acceleration is
+ available. Thanks for bearing with us, stay tuned.
+ * mux_rate parsing.
+ * Changed video decoder's error messages into warnings.
+ * Add dither fix
+ * Drag and drop support under BeOS.
+ * Change in the code to detect beginning of movie. It is much better now
+ but still fails with some DVD for which the movie is not the first
+ Program.
+ * Beginning of ideas to handle chapters and ES selection
+ * configure.in and Makefile.in patches for better SDL support and
+ support for $(bindir) $(datadir) and $(libdir) stuff, courtesy
+ of Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <misiek@pld.ORG.PL>
+ * Ported ggi.so to the new modules API. As for the other modules, only
+ the "q" key works. Moreover, VLC doesn't exit cleanly if you close the
+ GGI window.
+ * Deactivated non-working widgets in the Gnome interface.
+ * Added CONTRIBUTORS file.
+ * Ported the framebuffer plugin to the new module API. As for most of the
+ other video output modules, keyboard doesn't work. Except ^C to quit.
+ * UDF filesystem support so that we know the location of the first video
+ related file with 100% reliability (great change that should make DVDs
+ with binaries and extra stuff work with vlc).
+ * Correction of a bug in ifo reading that falsified the adress of
+ video titles.
+ * Changed the method for selecting title at start. It is _not_ reliable
+ though, but it is better than the preceding one.
+ * Tried to fix the BeOS interface and video output. Any BeOS developers
+ listening ? I can't even test that code, it probably wants additional
+ fixing.
+ * Added a workaround in modules.c for broken libc's which happen to truncate
+ filenames in dentry structures when using 64bits offsets. The kind of
+ stuff you only see in RedHats <g>.
+ * Made the SDL error messages a bit more useful.
+ * The Gnome menu is now created when mouse is released, not when it
+ is pressed. It may sound stupid, but it really makes a difference.
+
+0.2.61
+Fri, 16 Feb 2001 08:09:59 +0100
+
+ * Fixed package building (both RPMs and .debs).
+ * Fixed `make snapshot' rule.
+ * Added some magic to filename detection. To read a DVD you now just
+ need to run 'vlc dvd:/dev/hdc' for instance. Same for file:// URIs.
+ * Fixed a segfault in the slider when no stream was playing.
+ * Made the slider go from 0 to 100 (instead of 99 :)
+ * The vlc now doesn't exit when finished playing. As a side effect of
+ the playlist code being very recent, it continuously loops.
+ * Fixed a segfault in the input thread creation, as well as a possible
+ deadlock. This happened mostly when opening non-existing files.
+ * Created input_SetStatus to do input_SetRate's job. input_SetRate will
+ be used to set an arbitrary rate, for people who want to read DVDs at
+ 1/2.71828 times the actual speed.
+ * Stubs for the ncurses control interface. No working code yet, but the
+ holes just need to be filled.
+ * Improved X11 support. Still not as functional as before.
+ * The output window now states the method name, so that people know whether
+ they are using X11 or SDL.
+ * The Gnome interface is now drag'n'drop aware, you can drop a file
+ on it just like Xine does (or so I guess).
+ * New more recent css authentication code.
+ * Beginning of udf support (not in Makefile)
+ * Removed useless includes in intf_gnome.c
+ * Made the vout_sdl.c functions static
+ * Ported vout_x11.c to the modules API; code isn't very nice yet though
+ * X11 output works again. It's just the output, but it works; I now need
+ to clean the code and add event handling.
+ * Should have fixed the dependency generater for some plugins.
+
+0.2.60
+Wed, 14 Feb 2001 08:33:46 +0100
+
+ * Started porting the X11 vout (still disabled)
+ * A few unnoticeable changes in the Gnome intf
+ * Changes in the way stream size in DVD mode is calculated. It is no
+ longer such an ugly kludge and is much more accurate.
+ * Changes in DVDSeek so that the interface slider is in 0 when we are at
+ the beginning of the strem.
+ * Try to detect the beginning of the movie in the middle of the title. It
+ works for most of the DVDs but will begin in the middle of the movie
+ with some others.
+ * Calculate only the first title key in css mode because it might take a
+ long time with some title. The search stops now when we have a key once
+ whereas it did stop only when we had it twice before. It should not
+ cause problems.
+ * Really fixed MC segfault bug.
+ * Adaptation of DVD module to navigation slider. The seek has to be
+ done on a multiple of 2048, and shopuld take care of the offset to the
+ beginning of the stream. It works with most of my DVDs by fails to
+ detect size of some streams.
+ * Change of the order of call to ifo and css functions in input_dvd.c,
+ because we can't read ifo files before authentification on some DVDs.
+ * Changed location of some css tables.
+ * We read ifo date and decrypt css keys for all titles now. It takes quite a
+ long time to initialize with some DVDs (if you have 42 titles for
+ instance). The key decryption might give a false value if the title is
+ less than 10 Mb ; I'm working on that :)
+ * Quick patch to avoid a segfault when arbitrarily seeking the stream.
+ * Added --intf option to vlc
+ * Started cleaning vout_sdl.c
+ * The dummy plugin works again
+ * Added a slider to the Gnome interface so that we can browse through streams
+ * Removed enhancement because of an incompatibility with slow motion.
+ * We can now seek at position 0 :p ;
+ * Tried to enhance picture dating on timebase discontinuities.
+ * Fixed pause bug.
+ * Much cleaning in css code. It should work fine now.
+ * Fixed my old stupid bug that disabled sound after having played the
+ first playlist item.
+ * Added `Prev' and `Next' buttons to the interface, with the beginning of
+ a playlist window (still empty).
+ * Added `Slow' and `Fast' buttons to the interface and popup menu.
+ * Removed tests against i_rate and i_new_rate calculation from the
+ plugins and hid this complexity into input_ext-intf.c
+ * The pure Gnome part of the Gnome interface has been rewritten from
+ scratch, and the .glade file included as well. You can edit it by
+ installing glade-gnome and doing `glade plugins/gnome/intf_gnome.glade',
+ or directly by hand if you grok XML.
+ * Files can now be loaded into vlc using the `Open' buttons. But for the
+ moment you still have to launch vlc with at least one file, because it
+ quits when the end of the playlist is reached.
+ * Idle screen was disabled because it eats a lot of CPU and is mostly
+ useless for the moment. And it gets activated when pause lasts for too
+ long.
+ * Plugins have completely disappeared, we now only use the new module API.
+ * All intf and vout modules are now independant. So far, only the Gnome
+ intf module and the SDL vout module have been ported. configure.in has
+ been modified to reflect the changes (x11 and dummy aren't compiled by
+ default anymore, while SDL and Gnome are).
+ * Right-clicking on the SDL video output window brings the Gnome menu.
+ * Pause, Play, Exit, About work from the menu or from the interface window.
+ * The old SDL keys still work.
+ * Fixed a bug in #define that prevented from using ioctls
+ * Some functions to prepare ifo commands utilisation to move in the
+ structures of DVDs
+ * Change in configure to avoid compiling css functions on BSD.
+ * Added comments to src/interface/intf_plst.c and include/intf_plst.h
+ so that people understand how the playlist works.
+ * Updated the TODO list (34 items to do, 41 done !)
+ * Portability : changed off64_t to off_t and activated appropriate
+ GNU/Linux options ;
+ * Changed fseek() to fseeko() for 64-bit offsets ;
+ * Reset frame predictors on a stream discontinuity.
+ * Implemented basic stream navigation function, and bound Jump forward
+ and jump Backward in the SDL intf. Enjoy !
+ * Pause function implemented ('p' key).
+ * Fixed a compile probleme on machine without a dvd player :ppppp
+ * Fixed two bugs in ifo and css that caused memory corruption and
+ segfault when using sdl in dvd mode.
+ * Moved the playlist handling from input/input.c to interface/interface.c
+ * Fixed a few warnings at compile-time.
+ * Fixed sound channel selection in playlist mode.
+ * Added a color message in the plugin bank because on peut bien déconner
+ cinq minutes, quand-même.
+ * We now spawn a new input thread for each file.
+ * Added a missing pf_close() because it's always cool to close files
+ after we read them.
+ * Solved bug with cssdescrambling. The vlc might segfault with dvd
+ plugins. I will fix that soon.
+ * Minor modification in pluginification.
+ * Playlist works again (still the old wrong way like Meuuh doesn't
+ like, but this is going to change within a few hours)
+ * Input_ps, input_ts and input_dvd are now plugins, located in
+ plugins/mpeg/ and plugins/dvd/
+ * Fast/slow keys are now A/Z instead of A/S since S was already
+ linked to the scale/noscale toggle.
+ * `--dvd' doesn't work anymore, for the moment try to use :
+ vlc --input dvd /dev/dvd
+ * Module bank is now less verbose ; use `--warn 1' to turn back
+ verbosity on
+ * New method using netlist to read packets on DVD device by sectors of
+ 2048 bytes.
+ * Some modifications in netlist to make it work with DVD.
+ * Fixed à bug in mpeg_system.c
+ * We can now choose the speed of forward (between 32/1 and 1/8)
+ * Functional fast forward and slow motion API ;
+ * Dirty hack in the SDL intf to bind "a" (fAst forward), "s" (Slow motion)
+ and "p" (Play).
+ * Centralized clock management, preparing for stream navigation ;
+ * Fixed a bug in the management of the first video PTS.
+ * Fixed a bug in period calculation for progressive sequences.
+ * Fixed a FIXME in SDL: p_vout->p_sys is no more used in intf_sdl.c
+ * Used instead p_vout->i_changes like in x11
+ * Disabled SDL parachute to let the vlc dump a core instead of staying stuck
+ * Patched 2 debian bugs
+ (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=vlc)
+ * Improved the snapshot generation
+ * Mouse pointer hidden/shown with middle button in SDL output
+ * Removed obsolete video_yuv_mmx.S
+ * Updated the TODO list and wrote a small todo.pl parser to make it
+ easier to see which items remain to be done
+ * `make snapshot' now creates vlc-*.tar.gz and vlc-*-nocss.tar.gz
+
+0.2.50
+Wed, 31 Jan 2001 04:30:37 +0100
+
+ * Version 0.2.50 for the Linux Expo
+ * --overlay and --fulscreen options (only work with --vout sdl)
+ * The vlc exits after the end of the stream, which prevents from having
+ to kill it and relaunch it during a presentation.
+ * Not a very nice hack, but will probably spare us a few user complaints: if
+ no -a option is specified, the vlc will play the first audio type it finds,
+ so there is no need to specify "-a ac3" for a DVD anymore.
+ * CSS support kludged for current DVD input.
+ It is very slow now but will be more adapted to the forthcoming DVD
+ input.
+ It should read the first title of many DVDs but has been tested with few.
+ * Beginning of ifo commands to implement DVD navigation.
+ * Fix for field pictures.
+ * Hooks for fast forward and slow motion support.
+ * Fixed backwards moves.
+ * Tuned up optimizations.
+ * Completely removed BIZARRE_OPTIMS.
+ * Check for the needed headers for DVD ioctls
+ * Some cleaning in the dvd authentification code
+ * Various miscellaneous minor optimizations of the video parser.
+ * Beginning of support for encrypted DVDs.
+ * It only tests encryption and authenticates disc.
+ * Really fixed GetChunk now.
+ * 32-bit aligned bitstream (not that fast).
+ * The motion compensation routines are now modules as well ; choose your
+ implementation with `--motion motion', `--motion motionmmx' or
+ `--motion motionmmxext'. Of course, the best implementation is chosen
+ if you don't ask for any. There doesn't seem to be any performance hit
+ due to the move to shared libs, which is a good thing. Please test
+ actively if you have time, though.
+ * Updated --help result, manpage, INSTALL document, and a few files.
+ * Borrowed LiViD's MMX and MMX EXT IDCT. This might break things. Expect
+ a performance increase.
+ * Removed a few useless malloc() and unused variables in the audio SDL stuff
+ * Prepared the work for built-in modules (not yet finished)
+ * Small tweak in the copy handling, reduce CPU usage.
+ * --aout sdl now works
+ * Added SDL sound support. Sounds a bit laggy sometimes but my streams
+ are ill. please try.
+ * Modified configure.in and all that stuff. Re-run configure
+ * SDL audio, video and interface are all part of the same .so now.
+ * Removed YUV old files :->
+ * Reverted something that wasn't supposed to go into the cvs :p
+ * Removed -fargument-noalias-global which causes problems with as (???).
+ * Borrowed livid's latest libmmx and MMXEXT MC. Not in the Makefile => to
+ test it, replace vdec_motion_inner_mmx.c by vdec_motion_inner_mmxext.c.
+ * A few changes in the CPU extensions detection code, borrowed from the
+ kernel and from mpeg2dec. I still don't know how to detect if code
+ compiled with -mcpu=pentiumpro will run, since the cpuid arcanes are
+ quite obtuse to me. Perhaps we should also have a way not to load modules
+ if they have been compiled with a different CPU to avoid segfaults.
+ * Add check for MMX EXT extensions, which doesn't work, which is a good
+ thing since there is no MMX EXT IDCT yet :)
+ * Change for the forthcoming fast forward and slow motion support.
+ * Fixed the --aout, --idct and --yuv flags
+ * Updated manpage and --(long)help output to reflect that change
+ * Removed a few unneeded #includes here and there
+ * Cosmetic changes in error messages in input.c
+ * Now use of 64 bits offsets to parse the whole DVD. So we have all the
+ available information
+ * Fixed a bug in parsing of VTS attributes
+ * Fixed a bug in input.c that made input plugin initialize even though
+ no stream is reachable (thanks Sam)
+ * Merged the YUV plugins in the same directory to avoid too much code
+ duplication
+ * YUV transformations now use the new module API ; now only the vout
+ and interface still depend on the old plugin API
+ * Changed TestMMX to TestCPU because we will be able to test for other
+ specific extensions (3DNow, SSE) for the forthcoming IDCT we'll
+ borrow to mpeg2dec (as usual :P)
+ * Don't show "hiding module" messages anymore except in debug mode
+ * Swapped C IDCT and Classic IDCT scores since the classic one seems
+ to be faster ; anyway you should use the MMX one
+ * Fixed a Makefile bug under BeOS
+ * Tried to fix the cpuid code so that it compiles under BeOS (Polux, can
+ you test it when you have time ?)
+ * Fixed a bug in the frame rate handling ;
+ * Fixed a bug in the DTS/PTS ordering. Our pts are _at last_ accurate.
+ * Finally fixed repeat_first_field and co. (pas encore tout compris...)
+ * Implemented video_parser bitstream callback for PTS/DTS.
+ * Fixed close button support in SDL
+ * Fixed --width and --height support in SDL
+ * Fixed the bug-that-made-the-vlc-segfault-on-exit, which means that
+ more than ever, « le client ne segfaulte pas ».
+ * There was still a problem upon quitting: sometimes the null packet
+ wasn't big enough to reach a decoder breakpoint, so I now create 10
+ of them (since I can't make it bigger) to be sure. Meuuh, what do
+ you think ?
+ * Fixed the Makefile to spare a few variables here and there.
+ * Reduced module hide delay, removed loading of the audio output
+ plugins since they are now modules.
+ * Changed a few intf_Msg to intf_DbgMsg, and added "vout:", "intf:",
+ and so on in a few other messages.
+ * Removed unused includes in the idct modules.
+ * Correction of bugs in ifo parsing. Now the structures should be well
+ initialized. It remains some segfaults but it globally works.
+ * DVD mode is enabled with option --dvd. For the moment, it only read
+ the first vts and find the movie if it is at the beginning of the title
+ set.
+ * Beginning of dvd_input. Parsing of ifo file almost completed.
+ * The IDCT functions are now located in modules : the classic IDCT,
+ our optimized IDCT, and MMX IDCT.
+ * Cosmetic changes for modules (pf_* instead of p_*)
+ * Fixes to the BeOS and dummy modules
+ * Changed default values :
+ INPUT_PTS_DELAY down to 200 ms ;
+ video heap down from 10 to 5 pictures ;
+ decoder fifo size from 1023 to 511 PES ;
+ * Fixed various bugs in 32 bit-versions of input_ext-dec.h ;
+ * Fixed a bug in GetChunk() ;
+ * Renamed GetByte, GetWord, ShowWord to _GetByte, _GetWord, _ShowWord ;
+ * Moved decoder_fifo-specific code from programs.c to dec.c ;
+ * Fixed bugs in program.c that prevented vlc to close all decoders ;
+ * Gave sam a lesson for the use of the bitstream in spu_decoder.c :ppp ;
+ * Made the video parser unlock the reference pictures before quitting
+ (still one left, yaknow why ?)
+ * Destroy fifo mutex and cond variables _after_ they are used for
+ the last time. henri, that'll be one binouze.
+ * Attempt to port the BeOS audio plugin to the new module API. Will
+ probably need a few fixes to work or even compile.
+ * Ported the alsa plugin to the news vlc module API
+ * Fixed 32 bits bitstream bugs.
+ * Moved the MPEG audio decoder to the new bitstream
+ * Cleaning in the SPU decoder.
+ * Moved swab32 from input_ext-dec.h to common.h. We probably won't need
+ it anymore really soon, since ntohl() and htonl() seem to be properly
+ optimized when gcc is passed the right optimization flags.
+ * Fixed GetBits32 and RemoveBits32. I know the #ifdefs are useless since
+ we only support u32 words, but it's a safe reminder. Comments appreciated
+ on this fix since I may have b0rked something -- it runs well here though.
+ * Changed code for handling b_die in bitstream ;
+ * Moved input_ext-dec.h to input.h ;
+ * New input_NullPacket function ;
+ * Fixed init bugs in input and vpar ;
+ * Placed a callback to the decoder in the bitstream structure ;
+ * Fixed a purify bug in input_ps.c ;
+ * Added -mcpu=pentiumpro in the Makefile.
+ * Complete commenting of modules_core.h and small modifications
+ * Separated MODULE_CONFIG_START and ADD_WINDOW (Henri, beware)
+ * Fixed a very, very old bug that caused namespace collision between
+ plugins (Henri, beware: call your aout_getplugin function like this,
+ not alsa_aout_getplugin)
+ * Removed the Debian specific clean rules from the Makefile, since they
+ are already handled by the debian/rules script.
+ * Tidied a few compilation rules (-lfoo should always be at the end)
+ * Added 8bits palette SDL support.
+ * Fixed a warning under FreeBSD (dlerror() is a const char*, not a char*).
+ * Made configure script look for the bswap assembly instruction (using
+ AC_TRY_COMPILE makes sure the compiler will really accept it).
+ * Fixed colors' bug (TODO: write a function in vout that recalculate colors
+ from RGB masks);
+ * Cleaning of the fullscreen switch, still sucks but the surface is not
+ reallocated and that's good (thanks to the magic function
+ SDL_WM_ToggleFullScreen provided by sdl library :).
+ * Added a missing mutex_unlock in video_output.c
+ * Moved a mutex_destroy after the thread cancellation to prevent
+ possible problems
+ * Added a missing #ifdef in intf_msg.c which prevented compilation
+ with --enable-debug
+ * Fixed a bug in the input that prevented to quit properly in certain
+ cases (some ES were not deleted because their index was skipped when
+ the former one was deleted, well Meuuh should know what I mean)
+ * Cleaning of SDL Lock/Unlock Surface.
+ * All plugins now compile with -fPIC.
+ * Made the audio_output API a bit simpler.
+ * Got rid of modules_config.h.
+ * Fixed `make install' rule.
+ * Fixed warnings in the MMX YUV compilation.
+ * Probably fixed a bug in the input : pp_foo structures were free()d at
+ the end, but this was useless since the last call to realloc() is
+ equivalent to free(), and two consecutive calls to free() aren't a
+ goo idea.
+ * We check that the version number match and that we don't already have
+ a module by that name when loading a new module.
+ * All public module_* functions now properly lock the module bank.
+ * The audio_output now uses the new module API ; EsounD and DSP modules
+ have been ported, which should be enough for Henri to port the ALSA one.
+ * Added vlc_mutex_destroy and vlc_cond_destroy function, for pthreads.
+ Used them before quitting, every lock and cond is destroyed
+ * Checked the return value of malloc and realloc in input_programs
+ * Fixed compilation pb under solaris 2.6
+ * Should compile & run on Solaris with ./configure --disable-dsp
+ (tested on puma)
+ * Removed most SYS_SOLARIS #ifdef's in favour of more generic tests
+ * Updated example ./configure line in INSTALL file
+ * Now we only load modules that end with ".so"
+ * null module is compiled by default
+ * Fixed initialization of payload_start and payload_end
+ * --enable-sdl and some others are now --with-sdl[=name] to supply an
+ optional library name ;
+ * Deleted all unnecessary #include <sys/uio.h> ;
+ * /usr/include is now searched when looking for libraries and headers.
+ * src/misc/modules.c is in a workable state now.
+ * Splitted modules.h into modules.h and modules_core.h to enable
+ clean compilation of the Null Module.
+ * Added the Null Module, the module that does nothing but that is going
+ to be of great help for debugging my module code.
+ * Plugins are now called modules, because we will be able to compile
+ them either as a dynamic plugin, or within the program. And, more
+ important, I can commit this without having to break the vlc :)
+ * Fixed pitch bug;
+ * video_output.c : compute picture size even if b_need_render == 0;
+ * Fixed a deadlock (the vout unlocked a mutex locked by another thread,
+ grrrr, I'll kill someone) ;
+ * Put config.h in front of others in audio_decoder.c.
+ * Better display of the fps.
+ * Removed i_iovec_start and i_iovec_end. Used i_data instead
+ * Fixed THX Cimmarron bug (it was _not_ a synchro bug).
+ * Fixed a bug in the DTS/PTS parsing ;
+ * Fixed a bug in vpar_headers.c synchro handling introduced before ;
+ * Enhanced synchro's handling of dates and frame structure changes.
+ * Fixed a bug in the PSM decoder.
+ * We now read the DTS (but we don't use it for the moment).
+ NB : b_has_pts has disappeared for brevity reasons, use i_pts != 0 instead.
+ * New synchro statistics and warnings.
+ * Avoid calling SafeRead() with a null packet size.
+ * Use of ptrdiff_t whenever necessary (IA-64 port) ;
+ * Changed behaviour of preparsing code, faster startup ;
+ * Fixed DecodePSM(), cannot test ;
+ * Cleaned up ParsePES(), fixed a bug which could reject very small but
+ valid PES packets ;
+ * Fixed cosmetic bugs in vpar_synchro frame_rate display.
+ * Changed subtitles palette.
+ * SPU decoder now uses Meuuh's GetChunk() code.
+ * Lots of cleaning in the SPU decoder.
+ * Message queue is flushed before we spawn input.
+ * Fixed so that it compiles with VDEC_SMP (no good sync yet though).
+ * Using i_id instead of i_stream_id whenever possible ;
+ * Fixed a bug in -c and -s options.
+ * Fixed a compile pbm in debug mode (f34r d4 1-line fix)
+ * Fixed AC3 and SPU PES reading (ph34r da one-byte patch)
+ * Some 79 char wrap.
+ * No need to add "\n" at the end of intf_*Msg() messages anymore.
+ * Moved input_DecodePES() to input_dec.c ;
+ * Fixed an segfault in input_programs.c ;
+ * Added -fomit-frame-pointer optimization.
+ * Fixed a *major* memory leak in the pre-parsing code. Hopefully it should
+ be the last one.
+ * New decoder spawning API input_dec.c ;
+ * Moved p_input->pp_es -> p_input->stream.pp_es and clean up of
+ input_programs.c & co ;
+ * Fixed memory leaks.
+ * Moved video_decoder's headers from include/ to src/video_decoder.
+ * Temporarily removed b&w kludge.
+ * Splitted up p_method_data/p_plugin_data ;
+ * Cleaned up input_ts.c, added it into the Makefile.
+ * Fixed various memory leaks.
+ * Removed all arbitrary limits on the number of elementary streams.
+ * Removed b_die and b_error from all decoders (obsoleted by decoder_fifo_t).
+ All decoders should now exit cleanly (if it's not the case, it should be
+ referenced as a bug).
+ * Fixed a bug which prevented the input to exit normally (non-selected
+ ES in the pp_selected_es array).
+ * Added netlist support.
+ * Added U8_Mono audio output
+ * Fixed "-a [ mpeg | ac3 | lpcm | off ]" option
+ * Only pre-parse the first 32 MB of data.
+ * Added -a, -c and -s options. (-a doesn't work but I will let the people
+ who thought it would be cleaner to put config in environment variables
+ correct what's wrong in my code).

+ b_reopen_display and b_fullscreen in p_vout->p_sys.

+ compiling with --enable-debug option. (i_es_pid -> i_es_id :)

+ mal de redondances, options de compilations coherentes, etc...
+ * Code to manage es_descriptors and program_descriptors, from benny's
+ input_psi.c
