# ChangeLog for vlc #
#===================#
-HEAD
+0.5.0
+Not released yet
- * Nothing yet.
+ * ./plugins/access/http.c: fixed a double free bug and a memory leak.
+ * MacOS X: added messages and playlist panel, dock menu, context menu
+ in video view and localization support.
+ * ./README: removed much outdated data.
+ * ./debian/*: great package renaming - names should make more sense now.
+ * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: prevent the MAD decoder from looping endlessly
+ when the audio output fifo could not be created.
+ * ./plugins/gtk/*: new generic "Open Target" window. Please test and
+ comment on usability.
+ * ./debian/rules: the Debian package creation script builds ffmpeg.
+ * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: we skip the ID3 tag at the begining
+ of an MP3, so more files can be read.
+ * ./src/vlc.c: reduced the amount of default simultaneous interfaces.
+ * ./src/libvlc.c: removed calls to vlc_mutex_lock in sighandlers.
+ * ./plugins/qt/intf_qt.cpp: fixed Qt interface termination.
+ * ./FAQ: new entry for RTP.
+ * ./FAQ: minor updates, new sections: uninstall/reinstall,
+ DirectX-blackscreen, device permissions, debug messages,
+ config file, (un)planned ports/features, sources.list.
+ * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: now you can see avi over http (true interleaved
+ file only), and seek is allowed.
+ * ./plugins/win32/about.*: added the version number in the About box.
+ * ./src/misc/darwin_specific.c, ./src/misc/extras.c: moved our custom
+ strndup to a separate file so that Win32 can benefit from it.
+ * ./include/vlc_threads.h: Borland compilation fix.
+ * ./mozilla/*: preliminary Mozilla plugin. Only works under Unix for now.
+ * ./debian/rules: activated the vlc-xosd, vlc-kde and mozilla-plugin-vlc
+ Debian packages.
+ * ./po/*: updated potfiles.
+ * ./src/misc/modules.c: module_Need accepts a comma-separated list of
+ module names. Try for instance: "vlc --intf gnome,gtk,dummy".
+ * ./src/misc/darwin_specific.c: added strndup needed by video_output.c.
+ * ./configure.in: added -lintl to plugins_LDFLAGS.
+ * ./plugins/gnome/gtk.c, ./plugins/gnome/gnome.c: prevent older versions
+ of vlc from crashing when trying to open a recent module.
+ * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: to enter fullscreen mode, we create a new window
+ instead of moving the current window, which saves us the hassle of
+ remembering size and position.
+ * ./plugins/x11/x11.c, ./plugins/x11/xvideo.c: added --no-x11-shm and
+ --no-xvideo-shm options.
+ * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: begin to support VOD, but it segfault very quickly
+ (unless you disable audio or video!) and cannot support seeking( will
+ just stop ). Moreover it can't work for all files, only interleaved ones.
+ * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: the lirc interface now works again.
+ * ./plugins/qt/*: the Qt interface now works again.
+ * ./plugins/kde/*: the KDE interface now works again.
+ * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: fixed a segfault when hitting Eject with
+ an emtpy playlist.
+ * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: fix some problems with broken avi.
+ * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: audio seems to be better.
+ * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c: error in selecting SPU stream.
+ * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: endianness fix for subtitles colour.
+ * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: little hack for preventing blank alpha
+ palette.
+ * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: subtitle transparency support.
+ * ./src/misc/modules.c: added the --plugin-path option to give vlc an
+ extra plugin location.
+ * ./plugins/text/rc.c: if stdin/stdout are not connected to a TTY, we
+ don't launch the rc interface.
+ * ./plugins/access/http.c: fixed a compilation warning.
+ * ./src/misc/messages.c: cosmetic enhancements in the message output.
+ * ./plugins/x11/*: added the --x11-drawable and --xvideo-drawable options to
+ tell vlc to draw in an existing drawable instead of creating a new window.
+ * ./plugins/avi/*: I rewrite the way to read, in order to minimize seeking
+ (faster and in prevision of VOD by http, but not yet functionnal ). But
+ sound becomes horrible, I will try to fix it as soon as possible.
+ * ./plugins/macosx/vout_vlc_wrapper.m: arrow-up and arrow-down allow to
+ control the sound volume.
+ * ./plugins/access/http.c: for streams which are not seekable, we fall
+ back on old HTTP/1.0 behavior; on systems implementing atoll() we
+ can also read files > 2 GB.
+ * ./configure: atoll() detection.
+ * ./plugins/macosx/intf_vlc_wrapper.m: fixed a bug with the language and
+ subtitle menus.

+ configuration macro.
+ * ./include/modules.h, ./include/video_output.h,
+ ./src/video_output/video_output.c, ./plugins/filters/*: added a
+ VOUT_FILTER capability. Having a clear distinction between VOUTs and
+ VOUT_FILTERs allows us to get rid of ugly hacks. The filters are also
+ stackable now (use --filter=foo:bar:foo etc..).
+ * ./include/configuration.h, ./src/libvlc.h, ./src/libvlc.c: clean-up +
+ added an ADD_USAGE_HINT() configuration macro.
+ * ./FAQ: added QT6 FAQ entry.
+ * ./configure.in: fixed inet_pton detection.
+ * ./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: the blend mode is now a lot smoother, but
+ also a bit slower, so I also kept the old version, optimized it, and
+ called it "mean".
+ * ./plugins/network/ipv6.c: IPv6 multicast support, courtesy of Remco
+ Poortinga <poortinga@telin.nl>.
+ * ./extras/MacOSX/Resources/*: Mac OS X icons and fixes, courtesy of Benjamin
+ Mironer <bmironer@noos.fr>.
+ * ./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: added two new deinterlacing methods,
+ we now have "discard", "blend", "bob" and "linear".
+ * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: changed error messages to warning/debug.
+ * ./plugins/macosx/*: additional minor fixes.
+ * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.m, ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.m,
+ ./plugins/macosx/intf_vlc_wrapper.m: preliminary OS X compilation fixes.
+ * ./include/vlc_threads.h, ./src/misc/threads.c: improved the cond_wait
+ implementation to avoid races, by using SetEvent instead of PulseEvent.

+ * ./configure.in: checking for the header should be enough in most cases.
+ * ./plugins/xosd/xosd.c: configuration options.
+ * ./plugins/win32/*: tried to port the Win32 interface to the new API. Seems
+ to be still crashing.
+ * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: some code cleaning.
+ * ./plugins/text/rc.c: fixed the "a" command.
+ * ./plugins/xosd/*: basic On Screen Display intf-plugin based on libxosd
+ * ./src/misc/netutils.c: network mode works again.
+ * ./plugins/gtk/*: the Gnome/Gtk+ interfaces have all their features back.
+ * ./src/playlist/playlist.c: fixed an off-by-one loop error.
+ * ./plugins/a52_system/.cvsignore: what about a little .cvsignore ?
+ * ./plugins/dummy/input_dummy.c: dummy targets such as vlc:nop, vlc:loop
+ and vlc:quit work again.
+ * ./src/playlist/playlist.c: when a new target is added, for instance through
+ the "File" menu, it is automatically played.
+ * ./include/vlc_objects.h: pointers are set to NULL after a call to
+ vlc_object_destroy.
+ * ./po/pl.po: updated polish translation, thanks to Arkadiusz Lipiec
+ <alipiec@adrenalina.pl>.
+ * ./src/playlist/playlist.c: lots of playlist behaviour enhancements.
+ * ./src/misc/objects.c: we do not hang on attempt to destroy an object with
+ a non-zero reference count, but we still complain.
+ * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_control.c, plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: most controls such
+ as play, pause, stop, next, fast etc. work again.
+ * ./plugins/gtk/gnome_*: got rid of lots of useless wrappers which were a
+ workaround for a bug in Glade. Instead, bootstrap.sh does the Glade fixes.
+ * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: if there is already a video output with the
+ appropriate properties, we use it.
+ * ./Makefile: minor fix for the BeOS' make-package (icon loss).
+ * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: release vout when we close spudec.
+ * ./plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c: only report initiliazation error when it
+ is really an error.
+ * ./include/video_output.h: added mouse coordinates to vout struct.
+ * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/video_parser.c: check that p_vpar->p_vout is available
+ before detaching it.
+ * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: fixed a segfault when switching to
+ fullscreen from the popup menu.
+ * ./src/interface/interface.c: interfaces are no longer attached only to
+ p_vlc.
+ * ./src/libvlc.c, ./src/misc/modules.c, ./src/playlist/playlist.c,
+ ./src/input/input.c: improvements in the playlist handling (not quite that
+ yet though).
+ * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: we now use FIND_ANYWHERE to find a vout.
+ * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c, ./plugins/satellite/input_satellite.c,
+ ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: updated outdated variable names.
+ * ./src/playlist/playlist.c, ./src/input/input.c: added safety checks to
+ prevent crashes on next file.
+ * ./src/misc/objects.c: commented all functions.
+ * ./src/misc/objects.c: implemented vlc_object_find( , , FIND_ANYWHERE).
+ * ./src/misc/objects.c: renamed vlc_object_unlink to vlc_object_detach.
+ * ALL: got rid of p_object->p_this which is now useless.
+ * ./include/main.h, ./plugins/beos/intf_beos.cpp: BeOS compilation fixes.
+ * ./bootstrap.sh, ./src/libvlc.h, ./po/*: fixed bootstrap.sh so that it does
+ not include CVS Id lines in automatically created files.
+ * ./plugins/dummy/intf_dummy.c, ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.c,
+ ./src/interface/intf_eject.c, ./src/misc/threads.c: win32 compilation fix.
+ * ./plugins/directx/aout_directx.c, ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c,
+ ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: the DirectX notification and event threads
+ now use the vlc_thread_create / vlc_thread_ready scheme. Untested.

+ * ./src/misc/beos_specific.cpp: BeOS fixes, removed a static variable.
+ * ./include/main.h: replaced p_sys with explicit variables because it's
+ really much simpler this way.
+ * ./src/misc/beos_specific.cpp: the BeOS BApplication thread now uses the
+ vlc_thread_create / vlc_thread_ready scheme to signal readiness.
+ * ./src/misc/objects.c: prevent the creation of a too small vlc_object_t.
+ * ./include/vdec_ext-plugins.h: removed the vdec_thread_t declaration, which

0.4.0
-Mon, 20 May 2002 22:53:48 +0200
